They didn't own them, but they sure as hell talked to them before Vista was released. If the drivers weren't ready, the OS shouldn't be considered ready either.
is it Ubunutu's/Red Hat's/Gentoo's/Debian's/etc... fault that nVidia's/AMD's/Creative's/etc... drivers are garbage on Linux?

Let me know when I can watch all my sports teams live without going to a website that tries to install some virus or 'plug-in'.
Then let the regulatory agency do their job.
Not pass utter bullshit laws.
Only one will pay the bills.
They have their priorities, you know.
Unlike how they now have to look up to see if they're verified to be able to work in the US?
Or exactly like it?
it isn't even plugged in
A metaphor for the people at Google who thought it would be a success.
Wait, so a word that refers to women instead of men is sexist?
Well, I guess I won't be calling anyone a female or woman.

Phone calls are also electrons or light signals, not personal property.
Yet a warrant is still needed to monitor them because of privacy.
Why is there a different standard for email?

Whoosh?
Sorry, it looks like they had one set of successful tests, in 2009, of any missile/rocket launches in the last 20 years.
The rest ended in failure, most less than 60 seconds into flight.

How many of these 'definite' working missiles have they launched in the last 20 years?
In any capacity - proof of concept, testing, threat posturing, attack.
I can't recall anything but words actually being launched from North Korea.
Given that they might have only fake weapons, about 4 pickup trucks.
Would love to have autopilot on the large US highways - I-40, I-80. 500 miles at a stretch with barely a turn.
No "enthusiast" is going to be enthused by that drive.
Well, that covers everything.
Unless the business demands it be on a public lan.
Then what?
22% in 5 years is not significant growth for any company.
For comparison, Apple grew from 32.5B to 156B in that timeframe.

Or 380% over 5 years.
Their revenues have not gone up significantly in the last 5 years.

Or rolling the old server off the roof. And video taping it. Through each window the server passes by. And from the ground. In super slow-mo.
Which is just stupid.
EVERYTHING in their current form will be dead in 5 years.
That's actually the first logical point I've seen about making this a federal issue.
You must talking about somebody else. Or I've changed my name to Mr. Strawman.
No federal law has been made to impede the free exercise of religion on marriage.
So, what's your point?
Also, marriage != religion.
Could you please cite where marriage is mentioned in the US Constitution?
You know, since the Federal Marriage Amendment hasn't passed yet.
