Please list some of your reasons for using maximize.
Personally, the only reason I find myself using maximize is to get around some braindead ui design that basically requires it, but doesn't just take up the space anyway. For instance, web sites which specify obscene widths for their layout....
I'm not saying there's no other reason, or that getting rid of it entirely makes sense, just that I'd like to hear some of these "other reasons" that keep getting referred to without ever being mentioned.

This is an important point. If it is the case that this is true, then how can this not be thrown out of court. Surely, actively recording an event implies consent to the recording of that event...
Well, if it comes down to it, I suppose I'd rather have the weapon. If I'm later defending myself in court, it's because I'm still alive. Who cares if I leave a mountain of damning evidence to my heirs?
Unfortuantely, just putting in trains doesn't do much to solve the problem. You still have shit laid out retardedly, so the trains just languish unused.
And we've built of 100 years of retarded commutes.. there's a lot of shit that would have to be moved around.
But you make a good point. Consider the following example: Suppose you live in Reading MA, and work in Woburn mass. Maybe your commute looks like this 8 minute drive
Now, I've chosen two rail stops as the endpoints. Click on the "transit" button. The best option is a 44 minute walk (doable, but I don't imagine those roads have much in the way of sidewalks...) or an hour and a half rail detour, or an hour and half odyssey of bus transfers...
Trains require tracks, which require a bigger initial investment than roads
I know this is true in Simcity, but is this really the case in the real world? It's two thin strips of iron over a pile of rocks. How expensive can it be, really?
I'm sure the lion's share of the expense is just in acquiring the land, which should be lower for trains, because they don't require as much width as the roads do.
Yes, part of the problem is that the speed limits for the lanes are the same. But the left lane is for passing. If you're not overtaking the traffic to the right, you shouldn't be in it. Even if the traffic in the right lane is at or exceeding the limit. If you feel you can't legally drive fast enough to pass the cars in the right lane...you should be in the right lane, let other jokers risk traffic violations.
And, btw, it is also against the law in many states to match speeds with traffic in the manner described in the GP's post. It's called "obstructing traffic" and can get you a ticket just as surely as speeding would. If you're uncomfortable about it, then don't drive in the passing lane.
The real problem is that there comes a point where the "corner cases" where the self-driving car would crash are vastly outnumbered by the real situations where humans actually do crash.. and because of the liability issue, we still don't get self-driving cars.
But speakers are a pretty mature technology. You don't really get much for jumping to the higher priced models. If you keep the volume down, you can get pretty high fidelity from pretty inexpensive speakers, and it gets worse: higher priced models tend to be optimized for volume rather than fidelity.
For instance, a sibling post has described a speaker set up which would rapidly degrade ear performance if it was deployed for computer gaming and actually used at anything more than a small fraction of its quoted output...
It's the opposite, really. He's proposing hiding the desktop icon to increase the likelihood that the users won't "double" delete stuff to keep the bin empty. The bin's functionality would still be available in other areas. Explorer, I believe has an icon for it, for instance.
Dude, they're your users. If stupidity protection is something they need, and it's not something your backups provide, then it's time you thought about redesigning your backup scheme to handle it better.
If they know anything about "classified advertising" worth paying for consultancy, then why don't they build something like Craigslist, except that works well....
Most of the publisher's costs are non-existent for e-books, just as most of the risk. Author would probably be better off self-publishing through amazon.
Maybe. The real question is: are there unaffiliated editors that authors can hire, rather than the other way around. It seems to me that that's the real monopoly that the publishing houses have, once you strip them of the dominance over distribution.

Fortunately, iStuff costs more than non-i Stuff, so the lemmings default choice will be to avoid it...
Tell that to the IRS...

But yeah, I see your point.
Correct.

Would you buy a car computer that prioritizes the lives of others over your own???

People still watch, "Fringe?"
Um.. since the gp is referring to a cartoon from the 80s, surely it was an appropriate reference...

I agree that it's irresponsible. One of the drug addled wheel-monkeys might damage the robot. They really shouldn't allow human drivers on freeways.
It just means that the trading companies will be trying to co-locate.. to an adjacent core....
Server versions of OS X come with ClamAV pre-installed....
Plus, Lions are just about the laziest big cats out there. Male lions don't even hunt...
That was always true...

Oh, you mean we don't want or need 300 decimal place logarithm tables?
That may be a bad example, but all of them are.
I don't think you can use "we don't want or need this" as a justification for copying something for your billion closest friends to read...
Or $5 each from monoprice....
