It was an example. What happens when you want to run a program and it is only available in metro? Drag and drop to Word? Nope.
Here's another example. I often have documentation opened up in a PDF reader while I program. I alt-tab back and forth. Windows comes with a PDF reader, but it runs in Metro-land. Metro land automatically closes applications when it decides you are done with them, including my documentation. Oh, well, back to a Desktop-land PDF app.
It is "present". So is a whole separate interface, and the two are mostly unaware of one another. It's like a free virtualized tablet stapled to Windows 7, which would be forgivable if you weren't forced to switch to the virtualized tablet to launch applications.
Incidentally fooling around with OS upgrades is nearly exclusively a hobbyist pastime neither the typical home nor corporate users ever upgrades their OS
That is only true with Windows. Apple users seem eager to update the OS on their various devices.
Their glasses were certainly smaller than mine, but I simply couldn't believe the sheer quantity of whiskey they were able to put down. They definitely did not drink 2 liters each, but they certainly did seem to take down a whole 5th each. I had nowhere near the equivalent in beer (wouldn't that be a whole case?).
As a nerdy engineer, I have to travel to South Korea for product support. Those guys can match me with Johnny Walker when I'm drinking beer. It's astounding - I don't know how they are alive.
Exactly - this is nothing new. You could be cutting and pasting from anywhere on the web and the exact same hazard exists. You should not be cutting and pasting without knowing the license, from Github or anywhere else.
I never claimed that the rebels did not include criminals or violent opportunists. But it also includes others, and the Syrian rebellion cannot be compared to common gang activity in stable Western democracies.
This certainly isn't a new problem. If you work for a corporation, you aren't going to use code without a clear license. At least, I hope you aren't. If you need clarification about a license, you can often just contact the author. Just because the website is called "Github" doesn't mean you should treat the code any differently than code you find laying around anywhere else.
What? Why? All it does is concentrate money and talent. They don't need to have a single, huge, exit node. Don't you think that an entire organization set up to run TOR exit nodes might have thought of that?
Instead of trying to run a TOR server yourself, and needing to defend yourself, let a charity take care of it for you. Your money will end up being pre-tax dollars and will then go farther, and if you really want to be more hands-on you could probably volunteer.
For EU residents, there is a tax-deductible German charity of the same ilk.
"Trust"? I don't know about that. But I at least thought it would satisfy the minimal needs I have for such a product. I'd been using AVG for years under XP - maybe I'll install that again.
Yes, how do they handle corrections for people inside of buildings kept at a positive pressure differential from the outside? People leaving their sunroof open on their car? Seems like very noisy data, but I guess if you have enough it will be statistically possible to pick out the right pole and use that average. I guess you could use the more established sensors to pick the correct pole.
Oh, that could be fun. With a few buddies you could make their system think you were going 500 MPH or so. Do it with enough devices and you could probably get their signs to say something like: Avg Time to Vancouver - 1 hour.
I think that an annual upgrade cycle is something marketing (and partners/vendors/retailers) can work with
I think Apple has shown this to be true in the consumer market. My concern (if I were a stockholder) would be the enterprise. I expect they will still have some kind of Ubuntu-style "long term support" version of their OS.

I truly appreciate the irony of a classic troll applied to a discussion about classic technology.

It's just a pain in the ass for no good reason.

It certainly cut down on the crapware. Not as much as is needed, but the Android market has some real gems. (I'm an Android user.)
You are indeed alot like conversing with a compiler. Thank's for the constructive discussion. But hay, you're English is real good.

Need to coordinate all that humanitarian aid! ;p
Gah, you have to be trolling. A rebellion is not just a black market gang.

To be fair, they could have been French Canadians... they like to pack light: one bathing suit for the whole family.
Wait, 200 lbs is considered heavy now? Uh-oh.
The only problem with Avast is that you have to re-register every year. Minor, I know, but a pain nonetheless.

Palm Desktop still works fine on Windows 8 - even syncs.

At least in the US, the convention is to use square brackets.
Its prefectly crolument.
