since just last night I watched a video on YouTube where Neil DeGrasse Tyson asserted that we've found all the matter out there, and that the missing stuff is all Dark Matter.
I work for a large company that's had a domain since the Elder Days of domain registration, and there's just no way that it'll migrate over to IPv6. Too many computers and routers (including many legacy) and there's no actual need to do it: 10.*.*.* and 196.168.*.* networks abound and work just fine.
That's worth something only if employees are bound serf-like to AMD, as opposed to being able to move to a different company if they don't like the new owner.
Similar post-sale exoduses happened when DEC sold itself off chunk by chunk.
Those are *completely* absurd statements that indicate an *utter* lack of comprehension as to how computer and peripherals actually are and how they work.
All else (amplifier, speakers, room, etc) equal, I do not believe that vinyl would beat a competently-mastered Jazz or Orchestral CD. Especially after months of use.
If you can find the results from a blind test, I might start to believe.
Must they report to investors and the SEC every time a building is physically broken into?
Of course not.
You could convince me, though, that they should be reported to the local gendarmes who should then forward it on to the FBI where it must be made public.
A while ago, the flat (income) taxers had the idea of mailing every wage earner a $12,000 check each year as a sort of fairness compensator. Don't know if it's practical or not.

Shame on you for not vetting her more carefully. (Bitching about pennies can't be her only irrationality.)

(I think that this was it.)
Inertia.

Outlook for it's Exchange integration, and IE for it's SharePoint integration.

Darn, you lie to yourself how YOUR baby looks.
I was the first to recognize that my son looked scary ugly at birth. But he gained some weight and all was well.
That seems to turn the WAP from a hub into a switch.

This is /., where the default assumption is that the Mafiaa is *always* wrong.
Who sells pirated movies on non-industrial scale?
The same kind of people who sell anything on a non-industrial scale? (Low-volume cottage industries do still exist...)
Do you know any one who does?
That would require me to know someone who sells pirated movies.
To me, "selling" made it pretty clear what the story was about.
Right. But the implied outrage attempts to link this guy with some shlub music sharer.
It's not selling pirated movies, it's selling pirated movies on an industrial scale, which is *completely* different from sharing a dozen MP3s.
You need to re-read the OP.
The Windows-only software is needed to install updated router firmware. The firmware that comes factory-installed on the router doesn't need Windows.
(That's still an incompetent updating method; other routers have had browser-based updating for 10 years.)
Those are *completely* absurd statements that indicate an *utter* lack of comprehension as to how computer and peripherals actually are and how they work.
Besides being stupidly paranoid.
Step 1 of 3: Install the BigPond Elite Network Gateway on a Windows computer by using the installation USB stick that came with your kit.
WTF are these people thinking?
vinyl for something truly special.

The difference between a well set up turntable of even average quality and an average CD player is not subtle.
And the 30th time you've played the album? Or if your stereo isn't in an ISO 1 cleanroom and you don't wear Intel Bunny suits?
Mega-compress music to be put on CDs? That makes no sense.
Not being a dog, I can't hear those beyond-20KHz 3rd/4th order harmonics so it completely irrelevant that they aren't recorded.
Only *recently* has digital music been crappily mastered.
There's a reason that classical music fans flocked to CDs (note that I wrote CD, not MP3) in the 1980s.
DDD audio CDs are the purist sound because there's no possible tape hiss or snap/crackle/degradation of needle on vinyl.
As much as I love Linux and (having to work with it at work, have come to) despise Windows...
You're utterly delusional.

Of course not.

Yeah, I thought of that, too.

(1) the company pays property taxes,
Unless the gov't has waived them for a decade or more to entice the company to build a plant "there".
(2) the company pays the VAT,
Which they pass on to the consumer.
(3) the company pays the social security and other employment taxes,
Only half of those taxes (at least in the US).
Except how to stop mercantilism? Revert to an agrarian feudal society? Dictatorship of the proletariat? A one world government?
