    Flash came pre-installed with my laptop. Can you even be responsible for violations that happened before you even had the computer shipped to you? I don't know if i was shown an EULA or not before i saw my first flash video.

    yes, i'm with you. But that doesn't make us average users. And if you or I were to buy a dell (hypothetical, i dont' care if you build your computers) and slap win2k or winxp on it microsoft doesn't know, and gets the same money. People like you and i are going to make very little difference in the amount of copies ms sells of vista

  15. negligible on Vista Launch Good for Desktop Linux? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Vista is not going to decrease the amount of people purchasing new computers with whatever current version of windows is pre-loaded. This is the majority of windows purchases. As for those who are going to be holding onto their current computers and using them most of them will probably not upgrade to the newest (most expensive) operating system available and will probably stick with windows xp or 2000 until they get a new computer that does come with vista.
    The same people who bought windows XP at full retail will probably go ahead and buy Vista at full retail while most of us that use linux now will just keep using linux whether or not some new version of windows comes along.
    I think the whole impact will be negligible.

  16. Re:Quality of life is decreasing on Scientists Discover Possible Anti-Aging Gene · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think whether or not we're eating organic food is trivial when we're talking about the issues of obesity and diabetes; in fact, I don't know how much of organic food's popularity is about how cool it is and how much of it actually improves health. I think our first steps as a country should be working on portion sizes and nutritional value.
    I also do not see how natural organic sugar is going to affect us in any way. Sugar is sugar, our bodies process the sugar from apples the same as the sugar from coke and pepsi, however apples contain many benneficial antioxidants and far less sugar than soda pop. It's just like natural sea salt, it's still just salt.
    What we really need is to eat less fast food, and to get off our asses. There are plenty of other things that we can do to help us be more healthy, but until we can start doing those two simple things we're hopeless.

    Human life expectancy has been increasing overall for a long time now, and we have come to expect certain diseases and conditions including lack of fertility and diabetes along with many others (see Geriatrics).
    Could the issues that these mice are having be similar to what we as humans are experiencing by exceeding the lifetimes that generations previous had?

    if I am in a hurry I intentionally drive in the "fast lane" at the exact speed limit. Why? Because it is the fasted speed at which I am legally allowed to travel and those who wish to pass are in violation of the law. If they wish to speed they will have to wait until they can pass me on the right.

    god's existence is and never will be proven, it will only be speculated. You may see enough evidence to consider it proof for you, but this does not make it a fact.

    No.
    A driver who was intentionally crashing into things would make it not an accident, but just because someone is driving driving really fast and/or racing does not mean that they intended to have an accident. It just means they were being stupid.
