Wrong, free speech has to have it inherently built in to allow for anonymous free speech. To go elsewhere is just as the article states (And I am NO fan of Micro$oft propaganda articles or studies) but in this case I think she is correct in that it is an authoritarian assertion of power over vulnerable people
Two quick examples of U.S. law the link anonymous speech directly to the Constitution Right to Free Speech that I found are "Talley v. California, 362 U.S. 60 (1960), the Court struck down a Los Angeles city ordinance that made it a crime to distribute anonymous pamphlets. In McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995), the Court struck down an Ohio statute that made it a crime to distribute anonymous campaign literature."
If you half an open mind, you might also want to check out the EFF site and try to look at it from another point of view.

I agree with Itninja here. Start with your graphics card, it may be just having fits on its own and causing this problem.
In a similar problem/solution I had on my gaming machine, I found not only was the video card becoming unstable due to (suspected) overheating damage last summer. I discovered that the power supply was not up to the task.
Since replacing the video card didnt fix my problem (that sounds suspiciously similiar to yours), the combination of replacing the video card, and the power supply did fix it.
Oh, and for the troubleshooting purists, I did get everything working well, and I put the old video card back in, to find the problems resurface.

Dude you must be terribly young and foolish, or my sarcasm detector is broken.
Just remember what Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) wrote (and yes, I know this text origin has controversy, but the overall concept seems apropos here)
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Allowing everyone to have access to everything is an easy way for the facists to get lists of people to "come for"
People need to wake up and start using my long standing philosophy...
"Everything is lower on the food chain"
With its corollary... "Don't give pet names to your food"
Best case in point I'd seen of this, was one of those reality shows where a family had been given a pig to raise. The intent being they would use it as part of an end of season feast. So they gave it to their son to raise. And, of course name it. So, when the time came tears were shed all around. And instead of being thankful they were able to eat something lower on the food chain, they instead provided drama for all the PETA fools, and child protection idiots to fret over.
Robert A Heinlein, if you leave him out, you would leave out one of the most insightful writers of the 20th century "real world".
Quotes from his books have stuck with me for years. This one in particular has been a favorite, and is especially inspirational at election times.
"Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him."

Agree with that, at the very least the idea of a raffle for a prize pretty much sucks. So I come up with an idea that could save the company thousands, or even millions of dollars. and, I get a toaster oven. nice incentive.
Make it a percentage of the cost savings as a lump bonus and you'll not only get more suggestions, you'll get onces that actually have some thought and implementation plans put into them.
Absolutely agree with this. I suspect this "Shared Source" crap is a combination of their Extend and then Extinguish strategy.
Picture a not too distant future, where an Open Source project gets shut down because some of the programmers working on it have viewed the "Shared Source" code. After viewing, they have made changes to their project code. Influenced maybe by what they read, then again, maybe not.
MicroSoft then declares that the code embedded in this project is directly from the proprietary code and therefore invalidates the "open" stricture. Or demands them to pay up licensing.
In any case, the project dies. Then this tainted project starts to kill any other project it has been included in.
Don't call me paranoid, when they're really all out to get me.
This doesn't look offtopic... This guy at the WashingtonPost wants us to all be uniquely identifiable. and, therefore accountable, and in his words in TFA
"Brady believes that in the next five years people will be required to identify themselves in some way at many sites. "I don't know whether we do it with a credit card number, a driver's license or passport, but I think making people responsible would raise the level of discourse."
In otherwords, "mark" us all with an identifying number.
So, mod this one down if you like, but Offtopic doesn't sit well with me.

Famous qoute, "First Kill all the lawyers" seems apropos.
