If I spend all my time keeping up with upgrades, I won't have any time left to actually use my damn computer. And sometimes an older version works better for me. All that automatic crap is turned off. My disks are backed up...I think... I'll upgrade if something breaks. I hope you're ok with that.
Now I realise it's the government's role to instill fear, uncertainty and doubt in the population but, if that's all they've got then I reckon we're all pretty safe.
Not from the drunk driving, tailgating, brainwashed population that votes our rights away we aren't. Yes, I'm looking at you, people. You, who vote for the party politician because he promises you an extra bag of groceries next year, or the assurance that you'll never, ever see Janet's titties again. We must stand firm against pornography. If it takes an iron fist, well...
The guy couldn't even tell the audience how fast Mach 5 to Mach 10 was. Like what? 3,500,to 7,500 miles an hour? Approximately, ok? Oooo, ten thousand..That's fast.. Thanks babe. You're not that ugly either.
...The exact mechanisms which resulted in this change are still unclear, though several mechanisms have been proposed.
The common methods I've discussed are backward to me. The only method I could see that's workable is to reactivate the core. It seems to me that how the atmosphere is replenished and oceanic plant life filters it to make it breathable. And you would get your magnetosphere. Probably take a really long time though.
Unless you can could turn it off, it just sounds like DRM. Why we let third party stuff do anything to the OS is totally beyond me. Yeah, let's leave the cockpit door wide open.
Well, the content producers could make their material in a standards compliant format. That would eliminate much of Microsoft's edge. Microsoft paid them off, yeah, but they took the money. What Microsoft includes in its system is between them and the customer. On top of everything else, Apple is still the king of lock-in. And their software is damn near all inclusive. Personally I like that. Forcing separation of media players and browsers is dumb. Just don't break third party stuff.
...companies that produce goods may not be able to stop modelers from imaging those products, but modelers may not be able to prevent others from copying their work.
Sorry, my wallet is just not that fat. These people are not looking to protect our rights. We're on our own now. I beg those with the resources to find a technological solution. It's our only way. If they want a war, let's "give them a war they won't believe". And let's show that part of the population that is for all this that they can't have their way with the rest.
That old rat bastard, Barry Goldwater said it best: "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!" How so very true.
But you don't threaten to lock him up for almost 40 years, unless he's an immigrant...named Omar, I guess. An actor's or politician's kid from Beverly Hills might make the front page of the National Inquirer and that would be the end of it.
...a million times more damaging than a city-block of 'welfare mothers', or other bugbears, voting to keep starvation at bay, or a school for their children.
I will always vote for bread before bullets, welfare over warfare, but it is really up to us keep the monster at bay. It is our complacency after those things are acquired that is the real problem. Maintaining vigilance if or when all needs are met seems to be very difficult. But we must if we are to avoid that cycle. In the absence of a perceived common enemy, we all seem to go at each other. We become easily distracted by the circus acts. It's an atrophy of sorts.

I don't have a web presence at all (none of that Myspace/Facebook crap-ola)...
Good idea. Those things are like on-line bathhouses, just full of little nasties.

"Boy, the food at this place is really terrible."
"Yeah, I know; and such small portions."
...we're pretty much fucked.
Got that headline forty years ago.

What could possibly be lost?
All of us! You fool.

I say make 'em type in the ip address.
Yeah!
What, so we can all die in a horrible accident instead?
Millennium II: The Vista
ME 2?
Qwest may have said "no", but nobody outside the circle has a clue what they did. I wonder if it netted them any more customers.
Don't worry about. Soon we'll VistaME to hold us over.

US "independence"... That's funny.
That will never be as cool as this. Biggest dome in the whole wide world
That book should be required reading in all schools. It's out of print, but on the net. Take the time to read.

Sounds like win-win to me.
Cut a big hole in the roof and put in a sky light.
Too bad he's an immigrant. We could elect him president. He seems fully qualified.
...make your voice heard where it really counts.

How so very true.
Why not just five years in a minimum security prison, with an emphasis on education?
Because if they really crack down on "illegal" immigration, the prisons will be our only source of near free labor.
