Alert, trendy techflash with marginal utility and lots of fashion statement has excessive mark-up because the makers know tonnes of punters with more cash than will fork over. Stuff that matters... right
The "this is a New Operating System so you must re-install and hope your systems work" strategy for market thrashing has out lived it's usefulness. This was fine for hobby computers, and it continued to work in business due to the ignorance of the people holding the reins. Well the people holding the reins have either begun to catch on to the shell game or have been replaced by people that understand it. The real world needs continuity now new flash and tweeter.
(poe ?)come on yourself. the purest form of entertainment is Microsoft bashing, and because they are such an easy target it can be fun for the whole family. This product is soooooooo bad even family members that wear diapers (any size) can join the fun.
The tax revenues from legalization pale in comparison to the advantages (direct profit and institutional) afforded by prohibition. The monetary value of the jobs created and maintained in law enforcement (including it's supporting industries) and prison management, not to mention the construction of (privatized) prisons themselves, in response to the "war on drugs" is so far in excess of the potential tax revenues from legalization makes your argument absurd, unless of course the tax is outrageously excessive. Look beyond the propaganda and grandstanding hypocrites, and look at who profits, directly and indirectly, from prohibition. Open eyes and see.
it's not just you, it's because politics and religion have very high subjectivity coefficients, especially religion where subjectivity is infinite rendering religion irrational by definition.
fuxake.... yeah, at least those that believe what is unidentified are extraterrestrials(queue ferimin weeee oooo ooooo), they're quite tiresome along with the Bigfoot believers, Nessie believers, astrologers et al. Numpties all.
Yes, I'm really given up on tolerance for god-botherers as I find them to be, in the context of their faith, irrational. I was not trying to start an argument, just stating my position vis-a-vis the significance of this particular date relative to any other.
Agreed, the history of time-keeping is a very interesting and important subject, however, an arcane method of determining the date for a specific holiday belongs in the category of 'curious minutiae' and is in and of it self just an obscure exercise, except for the devout adherents to it's attending myths.
but the question says nothing about computers. The first game I remember playing would be either Shutes and Ladders, Candy Land or maybe Parcheesi probably about 1957 or so.
Because if you cross certain thresholds in speed and accessibility, the quantitative difference becomes qualitative! Once searching for something becomes as easy as saying it, the very concept of *knowing* something changes. (Books already take us part way there. I "know" how to build a compiler. But if I couldn't reach for my copy of the "Dragon Book" I'd be awful lost!) This would be true if what one receives in response to ones query is valid information and not the noise on gets in response to search queries. Try searching for "Newton's Second Law of Thermodynamics" and you will find a lot of confused people confusing others. Admittedly I searched for an obvious fallacy, but I think you get my point.

this is because you are clueless, ignorant, and probably delusional.

a rational person care about calculating meaningless dates bounded by fairy tales except perhaps as a "Fun With Calendars" exercise ?

Satire is much better when ...
This was not satire (though it may have been intended as such), but simple sarcasm.
the slippery slope is greased not with the application of technologies but with complacent attitudes of acceptance for incremental control.
