Anything doing 3D. Why? Apple's OpenGL is not very fast. Yes, this is a huge tangent from the topic at hand, but you wanted a case where Windows is a better performer.
So how much tax on the super wealthy is right? 70%? 100%? What prevents them from using that super wealth to offer the country both middle fingers and move somewhere that doesn't want to reach into their wallet and take everything?
The 2009 Federal Budget had a bottom line of $3.518T actual spending. The so-called 1% had a total adjusted gross income of $1.3T in 2009. If you tax them at 100%, that gets you about 4.5 months into the fiscal year, or around March 12th.
The "super wealthy" might be a politically expedient punching bag, but they aren't the solution. The solution is to stop spending money we don't fucking have, and we're doing way too much of that. It's not on 1% to fix it. It's on ALL OF US to fix it.
At the end of the day, it only needed 51 in the Senate and 216 in the House. The rest is just running up the score.
Many Congress critters will wait until there are the votes to pass, and then throw their vote in for the record on the side that is politically expedient for them. Coming from a "tea party" district, but still want the Government funded because it's the right thing for the country? Wait for that 217th vote, and then hit the "nay" button on your electronic voting device.
If there was only some type of enterprise-grade equipment that could be used to balance the traffic load among a whole group of servers, which could be increased or decreased as needed.
Wait, you're telling me that the State of Oregon managed to fuck something up that they actually wanted to do, and in the process likely destroyed the mostly functioning Oregon Health Plan?
I'm shocked, SHOCKED to hear of the complete ineptitude inside all those nice marble buildings in Salem.

What you don't seem to understand, is that "unguarded" is the normal state of affairs when the government isn't "shut down".
Only during a "partial shut down" did the guards and fences appear, in order to inconvenience the large amount of tourists that visit the National Mall on a daily basis.
Anyone that has actually been to a dairy farm knows your post to be false. Cows shit and piss wherever they feel, often times while eating at the manger. The current trend is to build barns with a slight slope to the floor that can be flushed with a large tank of water automatically when the cows are in the field / being milked, with the wastewater being recollected and separated for fertilizer.
It's a MAGIC RING for fucks sake. It can make the wearer invisible to mundane creatures, but it can't resize itself to fit the wearer, and is guaranteed to fall off at the worst time possible?
Perhaps the Wal-Mart magic rings, but Sauron just demands better quality than that.
You aren't kidding about that howling noise - I built a workstation with dual Xeons around then. The CPU fans would eventually start causing harmonic vibrations in the case, and it was annoying enough that I converted the whole thing to liquid cooling just so I could hear something besides steel rattling against steel.
That thing was the shit for VMware back in the day, though.
I'm more interested in the competition that is represented by Intel's "Bay Trail" Atom. That thing might actually win some phone / tablet designs, and not just be relegated to Thin Clients and vastly underpowered also-ran Netbooks.
If Chipzilla can finally bring something to market that makes the ARM crowd stand up and take notice, that will have much more effect than someone pulling MIPS out of the dustbin of architecture history.
Why should people have to volunteer to fix something that we (taxpayers) paid a 9-digit sum of money to generate to begin with?
I'm pretty sure that somewhere in that contract, there was some language that said the end product needed to actually function. It's not on us to fix it - it's on the Government to hold the contractor accountable, or tear them apart piece by piece for breach of contract.
So you are saying that James Madison was an idiot when he wrote:
"The House of Representatives can not only refuse, but they alone can propose the supplies requisite for the support of Government. They, in a word, hold the purse; that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the People gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the Government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon, with which any Constitution can arm the immediate Representatives of the People, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure."
From Federalist Papers #58, 1788
The House of Representatives is doing exactly what they were designed to do, as written by the guys who wrote the fucking Constitution. I think I'll take Madison's interpretation over yours.
Yeah, but this time we've done it with more returned energy than any other previous exercise in atomic fusion that didn't also vaporize the facility built to achieve it.
Controlled fusion is a massively different beast than uncontrolled fusion.
So I have to show a case of Samsung breaking the law in a business that Apple is in, but you don't?
Please show me to where Samsung is in the e-book publishing / distribution business, or take your silly restriction off and own up to the fact that Samsung has repeatedly used bribery, collusion, price fixing, and other customer-surly business practices in order to get ahead. Thanks for playing.
So it's not cheating to detect when a specific benchmark app is running, and then clock the device to a setting that in no way will ever be set when not running those specific benchmark apps.
Okay. I guess it's not cheating to pump yourself full of steroids right before the start of a professional baseball season either.
Buying a piece of software from a vendor: Adobe doesn't have your details. Paying on a monthly basis to a software company: Adobe has your details. Software vendor not named Microsoft most responsible for exploits and attacks in the last 10 years: Adobe Systems
If they can't even keep something like Acrobat Reader secure, how the hell does anyone trust them with credit card information? The long road that has been "software activation" led us to this place.
Samsung is more likely to get in trouble with the law, because they have shown a 20-year pattern of not giving two shits about the law. Multiple price fixing convictions, collusion, and now what amounts to industrial espionage while making a Federal Court an accomplice.
Yeah, that's brilliant. No judge will ever kick the shit out of you for that.
And until they fix the 3ware / AMCC driver kernel panic they introduced in 9.1, I still won't be upgrading. Can't even use the last "STABLE" release because that label was a lie on my hardware.

Because never in the history of science has a targeted research project discovered the solution to a completely different problem.

They should vote in this order:
Conscience
District
Country
Party
Unfortunately, that rarely happens.

Yes, you can get a cheap 10GbE switch. No, it doesn't have nearly the management that a Cisco or HP switch has.
If you are using one or two, you probably don't care. If you are using one or two thousand of them, you VERY much care.
Because in no way can Apple pay overseas expenses (like the manufacturing and shipping of products in China, for example) with overseas money?
Are you high?
If there was only some type of enterprise-grade equipment that could be used to balance the traffic load among a whole group of servers, which could be increased or decreased as needed.
I know, let's call it a "load balancer" !
And you can access that search without Internet access... how?

Unless you can show examples of Samsung breaking the law in the same industry as Apple, there's no reason to believe Apple is any better.
Samsung, LG, Pantech fined over phone price fixing in Korea Google is your friend.
