Excellent point in that one: Who are "the sources that are producing the pirated material"?
Is it just an avalanche of a whole bunch of individuals who offer a file or two each, or is there some groups involved for profit, or power, or something?
That's pretty much what I was going to say but you beat me to it. They say that shit every time. I've stopped buying the bullshit. (But do really love Windows 7 except for the WinSXS problem.)
Maybe that's it. I have a slight astigmatism in my right eye, which makes it so the focal point on my retina has a greater depth depending on what part of my eye the image is on. Somehow making it so I get the peripheral vision effect in my foveal site?
No, there's not, ever. All knowledge of humankind belongs to everyone. Nearly all people will use it for good, a fraction of a percent will use it for evil. That fraction of a percent is no reason to abandon all hope and cower in your storm shelter because some boogeyman might get you.
Nuclear bombs are pretty simple - it's getting the fissionable radioactive material that's the hard part.
They've overplayed their "terrorism" card, people are starting to snicker.
These days your data is your wealth. Putting it somewhere as vague as 'the cloud' is as dumb as keeping your life savings in a car belonging to someone you don't know and have no idea where that car might be located. (Probably in some trailer court.)
I'll be waiting for Windows 9 after this iOS mimicry flops. This could end up being the worst mistake yet, ME and Vista could both look like minor failures in comparison.
How is displaying something on the screen not using the desktop?
This whole Windows 8 thing is giving me a bad feeling. I think it's gonna flop hard. Windows 7 is great, other than the fatal flaw of/Windows/WinSXS, but Windows 8 seems like a a major step backwards. I want a mobile interface on my phone, not on my desktop.
Maybe they should call it Windows Me Too! Both because it's a lame copy of an iPad, and it will be the sequel to WinME.
Yikes! I am not sure how many people will want to run a local YaCy client when there is no control over how much disk space it uses
Hasn't stopped Microsoft - Have you SEEN the size of C:\Windows\winsxs?? (AKA Window 7's fatal flaw) And they have no plan to do anything about it, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can't move it, you can't delete obsolete files from it, it just slowly fills any partition you put it on. (Filling your boot drive is "By Design" according to Microsoft.)

Yah, but isn't that Apple's fault? If I recall correctly, Myst is all a QuickTime app, or some Apple software of some kind?

Interesting thought.
Nobody asked you, dumbass. Now go home and cower in your basement. The boogieman might get you.
You make me sick.
> you cannot build a nuclear bomb knowing only the nuclear physics/chemistry of fission
LOL, WUT? What do you think the Manhattan Project was? All they had was the physics and theory, and that's all they needed.
People are not as stupid as you assume.

A wise man once said "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?"
Usually applies to a completely different "action", but works just fine in this scenario.
What were they trying to do to Java?
C# with the Entity Framework give you that functionality as well.
Probably Java with Hibernate as well.
But only COBOL has tombs in BSG!
This is a stupid idea because managed code sucks.
Look how stupid you are...
Nah, I'm the same way on CRTs - I am able to perceive the flicker at 60hz. I cannot detect it at 75hz and above. Maybe some of us have faster eyes?

It's a marketing trap - don't fall for it.

This!

Ever heard of a free little bit of code called 'grep'?

This spells out why black hat hackers occasionally create good on this planet.
Kids these days... ;)
Yaw-Sigh? Ewww...

So, vote Republican, then?
Ah, so (11600000 * 3) == 131 million now days. Who knew...
Mmmmmm! Sriracha is the best thing to put on pizza evar!
Holy crap, I agree with Tatsu for once! :)
Your parties sound boring and farty.
