And that is not referring to XP mode, thats referring to native support. XP mode is XP in VirtualPC or whatever Microsoft calls it now days running inside Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit, it matters not.
Seriously, its not impressive. Hasn't been for at least 15 years.
Second... NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR MAIL. You are not a former high level military officer or high level politician. You are in fact nobody, just like me. How do I know you are nobody? Cause you have the spare time to dick around on slashdot and... run your own mail server for no reason other than to wave it around like an epenis. Hell, most of you would be bragging up a shit storm if you had an affair.
All you do by bragging about running your own personal mail server is prove that you have more time than money... and probably brains since you can get any of several places to host your mail for free and without ads if you don't use their web interface, so the end result is pretty much 0 cost hosting.
What do you do that someone cares about? Why is the government going to want your mail? Because you act like a bad ass on slashdot? I think not.
No one cares about your mail any more than they care about mine. Okay, so maybe a handful of people here have a reason to be concerned, I'm sure there are a few, but they aren't the ones bragging about running their own mail servers either. They are the ones that keep their head down and mouth shut... hence why they haven't already been handled.
The more you go on and on about how you stick it to the government, the more you make it clear that the government doesn't give a shit about you and that you really don't actually know what you're doing... or at the very least, why you are doing it.
Why? Because you're a high level military general and politician that someone cares about? Wait, what? No one would give a shit about your mail regardless? Thought so.
And as for gmail... theres a checkbox for that... the web is hard eh?
Because you have more time than money or brains and a retarded idea that someone gives a shit about your email?
What do you do that anyone gives a fuck about? Nothing. No one is going to steal your precious email anyway.
Why do you run your own mail server? Because you still think that makes you leet. I stopped giving a shit about my own mail server about the same time I got out of school and got a job. I have better things to do with my life than dick around with mail server upgrades every 6 months or more, and whats best... I never have to give 2 shits about a hard drive failing, RAID or otherwise, because someone else days that for me... FOR FREE.
Seriously, get over yourself, you might think you're bad ass because you can install a package, you're just too silly to realize that the instant you could install Linux as a mail server... it was no longer impressive. Running apt-get doesnt' make you an admin, hell it doesn't even make you a freaking script kiddie anymore.
I do not think that having a powerless figurehead as president that congress will likely buck at any chance would do anything you laid out.
You mean... exactly like we have now? Obama could not accomplish jack shit when he was 'backed' by a super majority democrat congress. How exactly is what you're describing different than what we already have?
Seriously? Obama had a super majority and couldn't get jack shit done. Support in congress is irrelevant. Congress is broken, regardless of who the president is.
No, hundreds of nuclear silos all over the midwest are a waste of money. Nuclear subs remove that problem by reducing the number to a few really hard to find mobile silos that are capable of doing the same thing.
Texas makes high explosives and nukes. Texas has a massive military presence of their own. Texans due to their nature, history and law of the land have a high percentage of people who carry their own weapons and know EXACTLY how to use them.
Don't be so ignorant. ANYONE rolling into Texas after some sort of secession would be rolling into a blood bath for both sides, and to top it off... the rolling would stop when Texas simply turned off the fuel pipelines. Guess where the reserves are...
The only reason mexican cartels get by with what they do is because the US government holds Texas back. You've got a silly idea of Texas if you think Mexico is some sort of a threat. The number of people that carry weapons and aren't afraid to use them is significantly larger than the number of cartel members in the entire country of mexico. Whats better is they'd get a pat on the back for every cartel member downed.
Your European style utopia would have no medicine or fuel... you do realize the gulf coast is where pretty much all of the oil in the country comes from, right? You know you don't get medicine without oil refineries... RIGHT?
No, because they would turn off your fuel supply and medicine. You're pumps wouldn't work anymore, your cars would stop and your power plants would shut down.
Without the gulf coast supplying chemicals and fuel to you, you'd be fucked as you in particular are most certainly unable to cope without modern technology to support your ass.
Its always amusing how retarded people can be about 'dumping' 'rednecks'. Cities can not exist without the red necks who supply you with product so your over populated models of inefficiency are able to function. On the contrary, those rednecks, while maybe a little inconvenienced because they'd have to do a little more manual labor, would still get on with their lives just fine.
You'd do yourself a world of good to figure out where your necessities of life come from before being so arrogant.
You're an idiot. You have absolutely no freaking clue how much you depend on the states you seem to think are a 'drain'. In particular, this one pays far more than it takes, and without it, you'll be wondering where you're going to buy medicine and fuel for your car. Even your electric car gets power from a red state in the end.
I'm not even trying to be a ahole this time, but this is exactly what you get for buying Sony products. They are the most consumer unfriendly, greedy fucks on the planet. Other companys will screw you over sometimes as well, but Sony plans on it as a business practice.
As a heavy pot user... if I know you are on drugs, I won't hire you either.
I really dont' give a shit if you do it, I certainly do (or rather did, I have since ceased) but if you act in a way that I know you are stoned in some way, you've failed at practicing proper work behavior and so you're gone.
Now go find a study not done in America that concurs with you on Marijuana usage and problems.
Let me save you the time, you won't.
Outside of the US, the rest of the world has already done the studies and concluded pot is one of the safest drugs on the planet. You don't even actually get an increase in lung cancer rate from smoking it! (Other lung issues DO rise however, don't assume I'm saying its risk-less)
Again, all you have to do is leave the US and the level of truth goes up drastically.
Or just hold down the recovery key combo to download the recovery media from the internet... It does this automatically if you put a blank hard drive in.
They probably told him he had to purchase Apple care for THEM to reinstall OSX. A simple Google search would have yielded him an answer. 'how to reinstall OSX without disk' works just fine.
If you put a blank disk in a make with internet restore it'll do it on its own after scanning the disk for potentially usable partitions.
ARM powered 'windows' devices are not 'Windows' by the sense that anyone would consider the name. You can't run 'windows' apps on Windows RT Even if it was x86 based.
Slashdot Mirror
You would also lose the certification the instant you started running it on uncertified hardware.
16 bits only addresses 64k, Even DOS was well past the 16 bit memory limitation using segmentation. 8088/8086s has 20 bit addressing.
Only after you installed Win32s did it run ANY 32bit software. Just because it used a 386 mode of operation for protection doesn't mean it was 32 bit.
And that is not referring to XP mode, thats referring to native support. XP mode is XP in VirtualPC or whatever Microsoft calls it now days running inside Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit, it matters not.

Thats stupid logic in every way.
If you think your 'viable candidate who you agree with most' doesn't have a chance anyway, then your vote for him/her is also a complete waste.

I love how you just called a Mormon ... a Baptist.
You're just as ignorant, treating all religions as one and the same.

His post wreaks of BS.

So I'm going to be pedantic.
OS X >IS UNIX. It is a certified UNIX. It can actually use the UNIX name.
iOS is based on OSX but that does not make it a UNIX.
Linux is not a UNIX and never will be. It is a UNIX-like clone.
Yes, this matters. Being UNIX is a rather specific definition, its not a generic term.
