Except that I found out the hard way that the/quiet option means that any problems uninstalling will also be hidden. For some reason the script I made didn't uninstall any of the patches until I removed the/quiet option.
No floppy drive support - that's definitely going to be a killer for any upgrade since I have some devices still using floppies as the only common way of exchanging data.
That's what it's really about the user is the ware. For that reason I have trust issues now when it comes to M$ and I have disabled the automatic updates. It may be a risk, but I see that as a lower risk than allowing Microsoft to fuck up my computer.
That's right - articles will be dead to people and the magazine will deserve to die if it's not able to accept that people don't want ads infesting their computers and not able to get a payment model that works. Micropayments - looks nice in theory but are in practice not easy to manage due to too much overhead.
It's the same as with dead tree magazines - if you don't pay for it then that magazine is dead. And some magazines do die from time to time while new ones are created.
If your brand isn't strong enough you won't survive. If you have the urge to run ads - then you should demand from the ad server to only serve ads that are passive and don't bloat out the content with animations and noise - or serve them yourself.
The catch is that you need to maintain the list for each computer. A DNS blocking may be a bit more effective, but in some cases there are sites that should only be partially blocked and then a DNS block won't be feasible.
The problem is that 'unit' requires knowledge that isn't easy to transfer between countries. If internationally recognized units were used it would be understandable for everyone without having to know sizes of beers&drinks specific to a country.
Well, if the terrorist crashing the planes into WTC instead had crashed them into the key nodes in the grid the effects would have been a lot worse. Then imagine that done timed to an extreme cold spell - that would cause a lot of water pipes to freeze and crack.
But also realize that it can still happen. Many electrical grid nodes don't have much personnel on site - if any at all, most of them are controlled remotely and are only monitored by cameras.
You can't protect yourself enough against attacks on central nodes in the net. It's almost impossible. And it's not that hard to find out key nodes in the electrical grid using just Google Earth and some patience. That's not unique to the US but essentially applicable to every modern country.
It also highlights that everyone is responsible for doing their part when it comes to disaster preparedness. Keep some fuel, dry food and canned stuff around that can be used when things go sour. But modern society has evolved into a situation where we do our daily shopping run for food for the day and the day when we can't do it we are going hungry.
Firefox has that option, then it's possible to configure if it shall be denied, accepted or just valid for the session. I usually select the last because it looks to the site as if the cookie was successfully set but next visit after a browser restart it's not there anymore. And I also try to avoid third-party cookies as much as possible.
It's still a shitty practice to use the 'var' declaration because it has a tendency to result in code that only the writer can understand and after a year not even the writer will remember what that variable really carries unless doing some horrible backtracking.
C# is a lot harder to maintain than Java because it offers so many ways of doing things the crappy way.
But C# is worse than Java, so it's not really an answer. If you had stated Ada I would have agreed. C# has two major shortcomings; The dynamically typed 'var' variables and the inability to declare exceptions being thrown. That means that it's easy to introduce bugs that manifests themselves during runtime instead of when compiling.
Don't worry, the 900MHz is not going to improve on throughput, rather on coverage.
For most of us it's actually more interesting with the 5GHz band due to more space/bandwidth. Realize that the WiFi band on 5GHz is over 600MHz wide while the 900MHz is 274MHz. Lower frequency band also means that the throughput may be lower while the covered area per access point can be larger.

Same with that darn Silverlight feature that unhides itself all the time.

You haven't had a problem that you know of because you are oblivious and don't realize that your computer is now serving spam to others.
Which lord? There are many in the house of lords.

It's like a whore that only do business with customers without a condom.
You can have a paywall with a monthly fee or pay once per year as a normal dead tree subscription do.
Or the ISP injects them into the stream.
The problem is that 'unit' requires knowledge that isn't easy to transfer between countries. If internationally recognized units were used it would be understandable for everyone without having to know sizes of beers&drinks specific to a country.
And what is a Unit? Metric values should be used.

If the ad detection filter can catch it then the invisible ad will be stopped.

Depends on which country you are in if that's applicable.

And if the EULA is brought to a court decision then it may be considered to contain invalid or illegal stuff making it invalid.
Have you heard an ugly whisper
Is the rumour really true
Just in time, we're next in line
They're really after me and you
Since the demonstration
Clamping down on every side
Rounding up the kids at random
Army curfew every night
Don't repeat this conversation
Don't let on we've met before
Try and make like I'm a stranger
I'm a man you never saw
Church police were round this morning
And the army's on our track
Took away my books and papers
Only just got out the back
I just called in to tell you
That your place is being watched
Don't go into work tomorrow
Try and make it down the docks
Don't repeat this conversation
Don't let on we've met before
Try and make like I'm a stranger
I'm a man you never saw
Dump your car and burn your letters
Smash your glasses, cut your hair
Buy a suit and take a raincoat
When you go, don't tell us where
Take a look outside my window
I don't recognise that van
Someone standing in the doorway
Better make it while you can
Don't repeat this conversation
Don't let on we've met before
Try and make like I'm a stranger
I'm a man you never saw
In some countries the EULA would be thrown out and burned if ever tried in court.
