No they don't they use somewhat familiar installation wizards that do similar things. The only Thing that could be described as "a central installation architecture that all applications must use to properly install and run" would be the.msi installers, but even that isn't something that applications must use. There are still MS Windows applications without any installers at all, some do their own strange thing (Java webstart?) and there certainly isn't an unified system.
But when will MS Windows have a "central installation architecture that all applications must use to properly install and run?" As long as you stay in your distros packages you will have a far more unified install/uninstall expierence then you would have on MS Windows were every other application has a different install wizard and asks different useless questions.
the Revolution's specs may never be fully revealed by Nintendo. They consider the information irrelevant.

Defending private property does not require a centralized apparatus of terror and mass-murder.
It does if property ownership is unbalanced enough.
Destruction of private property rights does.
Good thing communism does not require that.
I don't like state communism (the version with the seizing all property) nor capitalism (where you work to make someone else richer). A reasonably free market is a good idea however, but it's too bad all private property comes down to "I (or my family) was here first".
Now, that said - Well, then I wonder how much the OpenSource & Linux groups donate to disease fighting research &/or educational institutions (as Mr. Gates has done repeatedly over time)?
Almost all software they produce, most don't swim in luxury either.
And what does your (ignorant) rant has to do with the fact that your god is only "threatened" by science if it exists in gaps of knowlage and understanding.
Guns are bad when criminals use them, but guns are good when used by the police. Nothing like a nice, hot cup of double standards to wake yourself up to in the morning.
Darwin's hypothesis, and especially the neo-Darwinian synthesis, had as an implicit goal of removing a Creator from the evolutionary hypothesis Please. Is this really necessary?
What about living examples? Dogs would be a "half-way mutated spiecies" if I understand correctly what you intended with that phrase--not a species of it's own but not really wolves either.
How can something be not useful but not harmful? The body must spend energy maintaining that organ, so vestigial organs are inherently disadvantageous.
An open document format is actually better for people with visual disabilities because custom document readers can be created that are more friendly to screen readers and magnifiers.
Yes, if you aren't stuck into application centric thinking (everything revolves aorund MS Office in this case, not the actual documents).
It shouldn't be all that difficult to support blind people: give them a text editor and guidelines how to format the documents in pure text (something like wiki-syntax) and write a converter to Open Document format. Might even be better then what they have now.

This is why Douglas Trumbull's research is potentially misleading, as while I do not know the exact details of his work, I would not be at all surprised if he only tested real video, and he certainly didn't test modern FPSs. A FPS computer game features much faster motion and camera movement than would be possible in real life.
Motion blur should be the deciding factor.

I never said full frames *at once*, but it is full frames all the same.
Full but partial?
Each pixel on the screen is updated at 60fps or 144fps, and that difference is clearly visible.
You can't update a pixel at frames per second, unless your frame has only one pixel.

Did you even read the parent post?Did you?
I can spot a huge difference between 144fps @ 144hz and 60fps @ 60hz.
This difference can't be caused by syncing or lack of it as both are synced. A frame where one end is bright and the other near black does not count as "full" in my book, and that only happens for the brief moment when the beam has drawn the last line, but not begun the first--the rest is parts of two frames visible at once (in case the afterglow lasts longer then the beam takes to scan the screen).

It is not a straw man, it's the reason why you see flicker with a 60Hz CRT but not a 60Hz LCD--it's the technology that causes it, not your eye.

Defending property also requires it in the same way, but I don't see you claiming that property kills.
Guns don't kill people, but communism does?

Residual energy? The body contains quite a few joules, but I doubt that's what you had in mind.

It's impossible to show that something supernatural exists because of this. Once it's proven it's not supernatural anymore.
