Actually Windows 7 RC is the most stable RC I've seen in ages. The problem is when Microsoft's marketing wizards get their hands on it and add in a bunch of useless shit and and crippleware into it just before the launch. If the engineers can keep the marketing shitheads at bay long enough to launch then this may be the most stable and mature windows launch ever. If they fail it could be "Vista part deux: All bad things come in sevens".
Vista didn't "take advantage" of anything. It was bloatware which forced people to finally start buying new and faster computers again. I kept my company on XP and so I benefit because I can buy $250 pc's that came out in 2005 and still run everything just fine.
1/6th of the population which are probably not part of your intended audience anyways. So in the end, probably a great idea so long as it's done on a site by site basis and not on an aggregate basis like a whole country blocking another whole country.
OCD is most likely a symptom of another root cause. Same with Depression and now Bitterness. It all goes back to trying to lump people with similar symptoms into a pot and throw some drugs at them. It works for some and not others. Why? Because Doctor's are lazy, or overworked and don't want to use the Scientific Method of determining the root cause of the problem.
The problem here is that shrinks can only deal with issue internal to you; the patient. They cannot deal with externalities that arise from other people's actions. Sometime the core issue is learning forgiveness and sometimes the core issue is issuing justice. This is especially true with an ongoing problem. Justice just needs to blindly smite those who tread on her.
Exactly. What you did was not wrong. In addition however I will argue that it is paramount to define "child porn" because people just throw the phrase around all the time and have no clue what it means. So what has happened is that the culture has become confused and now we hold people to a moral standard that was born out of cultural confusion. Did you know that people who are having photos taken nude of themselves and then posting them online but happen to be under 18 are now being charged with making "child porn"? I mean how fucking backwards and stupid is that?
Are you retarded too? Can you not read? I said either the person consented or they were raped/abused. Of course rape and abuse are wrong. Of course people who make rape and abuse happen should be punished to the full extent possible. Of course.
What I will not give in on though is that I still believe if you can say yes then you mean it. Coercion can still happen and that is wrong. That's the method by which date rape cases get tried all the time. But my point is a 17 year old CAN consent. It's not suddenly morally repugnant. People who just say "child porn is bad mmkay" but refuse to define child porn are the morally repugnant ones.
People reach puberty in a range of ages. Are you going to change the laws so that puberty is the time when consent can be given? If so you have to admit the way the law is now doesn't make any fucking sense and it makes criminals out of normal law abiding citizens who don't do anything wrong!
You are a real asshole! I mean it. Can you not read?! I said and I quote
I truly feel that a person is a person is a person. Either they consented or they were raped/abused. Nothing else can exist.
You wake the fuck up. I'm fucking sick and tired of your straw man arguments. You make me out to be some kind of moral ambiguous creature and then denounce me. Just for your fucking information I am a huge defender of the FACT that there are moral absolutes in this world.
In fact I so strong believe in moral absolutes that I believe abortion is wrong and people who commit it are murder. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. Men can live together but it's the act of butt fucking that sets them into a moral absolute of being wrong.
I believe all these things are wrong absolutely. What I will not give in on is that you seem to think that a 17 year old cannot consent to have sex. Furthermore you think it is now a horrible and despicable thing for a 17 year old to film a porn. But if that 17 year old consented then why does it matter? It's not about rape and abuse. THAT is NOT the definition of CHILD PORN!! Get that through your thick fucking skull! It's about "underage" consenting people filming porn. The definition of "underage" being whatever arbitrary fucking number people come up with.
I never said that people should be raped or abused. I also agree that people who view rape/abuse videos drive the demand for rape abuse videos. However just because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_Jameson was a stripper while under 18 doesn't mean everybody who was attracted to her is/was evil. I mean that's just silly.
Mmmhmm. Thank you god for handing down that edict! Oh wait, you aren't a god? Oh, my bad.
Please do me a favor and define child porn for me. I mean really define it. At what age is consent possible? Really at that age? That age is (insert arbitrary rhetoric here) too old/young by any standard. You should definitely raise/lower it.
Knowledge is something that operated in a completely different market compared to hard goods. You can't just act like scarcity exists in knowledge markets because it doesn't. Knowledge is also not proprietary. Just the very act of you publishing it lets it be free. People are not prevented from taking knowledge from your book and many other books and distilling it down into a new book and then giving THAT book out for free. So, yes your time is valuable but the market doesn't work the same way. So basically you need to cut out the middle man and make as much as possible by selling the book direct.
If you trespass then you are breaking another part of the Constitution which deals with Private Property. I'm not sure which part and I'm too lazy to look it up but it's in there.
I would suspect they might arrest you however it is if they press charges that really counts. The First Amendment protects photography. There is a stupid doctrine of check for "newsworthiness" but that's just a bunch of stupid activist judges overstepping their bounds. The real truth is that per the Constitution of the United States you can take any photo you want so long as you are on public property at the time and there is no expectation of privacy ( an example would be taking a photo of a nude sunbather in their backyard from a helicopter).
There is this small requirement to being a senior executive. This requirement is that you have no decision making skills, no work skills, and no brains. So most likely some Intel guy told some senior exec that "I"ll give you a great deal" and the senior exec said "have your guys call my guys" and then told his guy "do what it takes and make it happen" and so the senior execs "guy" feeling inordinate pressure to do that job right just went along with whatever shit Intel shoveled at him.
Do you think maybe just maybe that the reason AMD is trailing is because Intel has been pulling this shit for so long that AMD had less capital to reinvest back into R&D?

Just remind me not to move to the UK.

Servers unlike desktops don't generally get sold with an OS unless you request one.

Because you math is wrong? Don't worry, I failed college algebra the first time too.
You sir are an ignoramus on so many levels. It was just a web server. It wasn't a classified server which is IN FACT kept on a separate network.
Well if non-profits were automated enough they could deal with less administrative staff. Kind of a catch-22 you proposed there bud.
This one has five terms to it's safe. It's IF AND ONLY IF it has four scientific terms that it is not real.

Wow your circular logic is killing me.

I'll never grant that. I truly feel that a person is a person is a person. Either they consented or they were raped/abused. Nothing else can exist.
Go / yourself! Oh wait...

It's redundant across articles instead of being redundant in THIS article.
