    The reality is that not every installation is ideal or respecting the EULA, an EULA that may not even be valid in the country it's used.

    So interruptions at the worst possible time can happen and it don't have to be a life-threatening application that fails - and it can still have a major impact on the production line. Even the business part of an organization can get a stop and then the orders to the production can't be managed and production will halt.

    Things can get pretty well messed up by these unplanned shutdowns.

  2. Or is it a client side application written in JavaScript requiring the Microsoft scripting engine?

    Things are getting more weird by the day.

    Just send the comments to the copyright office using certified mail. It costs a bit but annoys them, and if you get the name of the director then maybe you can require a personal sign-off by the director for the certified mail.

    Just let the system work for you.

    Control+S = XOFF, which stops the data flow.
    Control+Q = XON, which turns on the data flow again.

    I just wait for an industrial accident to happen due to a windows "upgrade".

    Then we would have a fun time watching Microsoft getting roasted.

    I played with it once and for the Milky Way I got a value of 0.8.

    I think that life may prevail in many unexpected places, but intelligent life and even more intelligent life with technology is a lot rarer. Even on earth we have other intelligent species - like dolphins and even raccoons. But they don't use technology.

    Define "poor". Poor from today, look very much like upper middle class from 1960. We have TVs and Microwave Ovens, cars that last a long time, and housing that is more efficient.

    I have seen houses in the US and compared to houses in Sweden they aren't very efficient.

    He's not formally nominated yet, but if the republican party decides to put in another candidate through some tricks they are essentially committing suicide.

    Even though I don't necessarily agree with Trump he's the more honest than Hillary.

  15. Kasich isn't really trying to get the nomination this time, he's in it to either get the Vice President position or to get his name known for next election.

    It doesn't really matter unless in the coming states the Cruz supporters gets really sour and put all their votes on Kasich instead of Trump.

    At least here such practice may be seen as negative agreement action, which is considered illegal.

  22. I'm not saying that it will happen soon, but younger people get a lot of content directly on the internet and only a few of them hooks on to the cable TV. It's currently a slow process but with fewer viewers it means that sooner or later the prices will be too high for the remaining viewers and they will drop the cable.

  23. And the cable industry is slowly killing itself by alienating the customers.

    They may show a profit right now, but sooner or later there will be an avalanche of customers leaving and stick to OTA transmissions or get what they want over the net on Netflix and other services.

    But maybe there's more profit in spoofing phone calls to install malware at stupid people.
