Several devices that I have bought at Home Depot have been a POS, but I wsn't aware Windows was embedded in them. Is windows in every POS that Home Depot sells or just certain items?

The artilce that you linked to said
"Paul said although signs so far are positive, it still is too early to say the scramjet experiment succeeded. The scramjet experiment took place during the final few seconds of the flight, which lasted almost 10 minutes."
A quick search with google also did not turn up any reports of confirmed success. Do you have any?
"The parent brings up a good point, would you rather have features/speed over memory/stability?"
At least on of each for play (car and computer) and one of each for work and there is no need to consider that choice.
If it really worked there could be no sound clip.
Which reminds me....
Shortly after the F-117 stealth fighter became public knowledge, a Brit reporter at an Airshow asked the USAF Major PR officer at the air show why the Stealth Fighter wasn't at the air show.
The Major replied "How do you know it isn't."
The wavelength of sound waves at the frequncies of interest is on the order of one foot. The noise emitting part of a CPU fan sort of approaches being a point source compared to that So, it should be possible to place the noise canceling speakers at the fan and do a decent job.
"Add that up, and suddenly Dish costs just one cent less for five fewer channels. I'm pretty sure the only thing keeping us with Dish right now is that DirecTV doesn't carry our locals yet.
"
From what I have observed over the years, Dish and Direct are pretty even overall. I've had Dish for over 7 years.
Had I been looking for the "best" deal for myself I could have switched back and forth a few times over the 7 years for micro improvements in programming. But I didn't switch and didn't miss much.
It's not exacly as though pre-Internet/Google all publicaly available information was the truth and now it isn't.
There were ignoramosuses spouting misinformation as though it were the gospel long before Christ left Chicago.
I will, however, concede that more stupid and lazy people have faster access to more misinformation than ever before.
You may know a lot of Morman business people who are just "normal" business people, but that isn't relevant.
Most Mormans I know are ethical hard working people, but that isn't relevant either.
What is relevant is that Utah is well known for the various scams and con artists that operate from Utah. It doesn't take "most" of a group to make conditions where they live unsavory, just a few percent more than normal amount of con artists.
Conditions in Utah are right for nurturing the development of con artists.

Cantonese is more difficult to speak, particularly for a person who does not speak another tonal language.
Mandaran has 4 tones. rising, falling rising, falling and none. I've probably botched the names of the tones, it's been a long time since I studied Mandarin.
Cantonese has 6 tones and my impression was that they were harder for a round eye to master.
On the plus side, when a Westerner gets the tones wrong, which completely changes the meaning of words, it provides endless amusment for the Chinese listener. So I guess a native Cantonese listener would get more amusment from a Westerner butchering his Cantonese than would a native Mandarin listener from a Westerner butchering Mandarin.
If you actually need to make an emergency call in a publc place, simply request in your loud cellphone voice that you need to make an emergency call and request that everyone turn their jammers off.
If it's not an emergency, leave the room and don't annoy people.

That would have made the early Best Buy POS system a POS. Sense of humo(u)r sale on aisle 3, hurry along now before you miss out.

Spoken Cantonese and Mandarin are more different that Spanish and French.
