My second degree was in humanities (Communications & Cultural Studies), and I learned more of value than in my previous Science degree. It has also earned me considerably more opportunities and jobs.
Bigotry is ugly in every form, but uninformed bigotry about education is also a reason to treat you and your comments with scorn and ridicule.
you bet your ASS that the Secret Service will be knocking on my door, with a battering ram!
Doesn't it worry you that you're endowing a private (and frequently predatory) company with government responsibilities and powers?
The US Secret Service has a mandate to protect your nation's leaders, visiting world leaders, national special security events, and the integrity of the nation's currency. Microsoft has a mandate solely to take money from you, yet you're giving them virtual search and seizure powers.
There is a very high chance most if not all the systems will have to be retrofitted in some way to accommodate another operating system.
Huh?
Have you ever used Linux? You know, it's not something mysterious that you need to wonder about, you can just try it with a live CD or other live distro.
One thing you'll find once you get used to it, is that it'll work very well on most older hardware out there.
I still cannot trust LO to be compatible with the rest of the world.
You seem to have a basic misunderstanding of who is creating the problem...
Having said that, try making sure you're saving the file on the native format for the version of Word you're using - eg,.doc for Word 2000-XP,.docx for Word 2007 and above. Word messes up formatting enough between versions, let alone with documents exported from a competitor's product.
If you're having trouble using an Android phone, I'd suggest you ask for help from one of the millions of normal phone owners who're very comfortable using them.
Apart from Ballmer and his marketing team, the only people who seem to find them complicated are the ones posting here on Slashdot...
The capacity of cooling reservoirs should equal the required the time required to replace those pumps upon failure and maintain cooling demands, whether achieving shut-down or full load requirements.
Substitute boron carbide/boric acid slurry for the cooling reservoirs and you might have an answer.
Microsoft doesn't make Secure Boot hardware, and Win8 requirements do not include "cannot be disabled by any means".
There was a very good post over in Reddit on this:
UEFI specifications do not mandate that OEMs provide options in their configuration screens to disable secure boot. Nor do the Windows 8 Logo requirements. This means that there can be hardware that will arbitrarily lock users out of alternative operating systems. We really can't tell when this will happen, or if it will happen, until some short-sighted OEM decides to do this. I can tell you why they will do this though:
Microsoft's logo requirements only require UEFI secure boot, they do not specify how the signing happens. Yes, Microsoft will provide signed kernels and keys that OEMs can use. But they aren't required to use those keys. OEMs are perfectly allowed to take the Windows kernel, resign it with their own key, and ship the machine such that it only installs the OEM's Windows. So the OEMs will not be trying to lock us out of Linux, they will be trying to lock us out of Windows 9 so that they can make us buy new computers to upgrade.
Give the guy a break. The shills have to get their product mentioned at every OS discussion. Otherwise, they don't meet KPI and teams lose their bonuses.
Completely pointless and misleading in this context.
It's not proximity to static sources that will hurt this man and his children. It's ingestion, inhalation etc. Think food chain, water and dust/air contamination.
Radiation levels in the bay off Fukushima are not falling. Consider what that means.

No, I was explaining the difference between theory and experience.

Cork?
Support B&N with your wallets. Most of all, don't buy Microsoft products.
they will end up in the hands of criminals
Oh. My. God.
Computers in the hands of unethical people? We're doomed. Doomed, I tell you.
What's so hard to understand? Some may be strong, some barely noticeable, but each is preparing your body for the actual onset of labor.
Conventional car companies don't have to pay for accidents resulting from driver error.

Nothing would entice me to try Linux out now.
I use it in preference to everything else. It's the only OS that doesn't get in my way.

Open Source can only spread by being objectively better (in ways customers care about).
Have you tried Libre Office lately?
Most people I've set it up for like it a lot better than the current ribbon-infested Microsoft version.
leaving Android for power users.

And let's face it, we've all wanted to insert the iPhone into a loud Siri user, even when they weren't amputees.

it's about software. It's about Android.
It's not about Android, it's about filesystems.
The patent in question is the old FAT32 short/long filename hack MS has been trolling everybody with for most of the decade.

platform-independence for malware just got easier!
Tell that to Cyanogen.
Now it appears that may never happen.
