I'm guessing the management doesn't really want the bad press
Who says it would be bad press? I'd be much more likely to choose theaters with zero tolerance polices. I think most people would actually switch off their phones if there was a big on-screen announcement that they absolutely WILL be booted out if it rings or they try to use it in any way during the movie.
If not... watching somebody who's that self-entitled being told where to get off is probably better entertainment than what's on the screen. They can always pause the movie while they do it.
Another idea is for each seat to have a row of red LEDs in front of it which gradually light up when people talk. If it reaches LED number three, out with them.
I've got lots of perfectly good hardware (scanners, printers...etc) that never received a Windows 7 driver. I have to keep at least one XP machine around just for that reason.
I'll bet you're forgetting that Microsoft (and other platform makers) pay game makers for "exclusive" titles which draw more players to their platform.
pfft. he is not forgetting that. the scenario already didn't happen. the exact same scenario with vista and dx10.
With Linux Steam on the horizon, it would be a risky move.
This is just a marketing announcement for the gullible. There'll be a percentage of people who'll go out and upgrade after this, and that's the point.
call Microsoft Activation and advise you have downgraded to Windows 7 as allowed as part of the OEM licensing agreement and would like their assistance in activating.
Have you read the OEM licensing agreement?
You can only 'downgrade' if you purchase Windows 8 Pro, which is, a) Not always an option on consumer machines, b) Much more expensive.

What's a "Window" key? I don't think my Model M has one of those.
Maybe, maybe not ... but there's definitely a lot of privacy and distracting-advertising issues.

learning Metro was no big deal compared to someone who has only seen the Start button all their computer life.
Um, the problem isn't learning it, the problem is liking it.
My ChromeBook is fast, my older HP running Ubuntu is fast. My new high-end HP running Win 7-64 with 32GB RAM takes 5 minutes to boot...
Try turning off the "Run RAM diagnostic on startup" option...
game companies follow their sheeple.
what kind of an insane madman would do a high budget game and only publish it on windows 8.1 and not 7 at all?
Nobody.
But ... Microsoft might pay them to put some "Windows 8 only" features in their games (prominently greyed out in Windows 7).

Apple's special-cable and SD-card-adapter business is very lucrative...
I've read it a dozen times and I still don't see a different meaning. At best you called them semi-benign traits.
All of those traits are desired by somebody out there so I'd say it was just natural selection doing its job, no need to 'correct' anything.
big eyes, long fingers,big hips, small breasts etc will start to be pinpointed to a single gene, protein or step malfunctioning
Those things are a "malfunction"?
(But not your small dick, right? That's 'normal'...)
... makes the world black and white in clear code...
This word "clear", I don't think it means what you think it means.
The real LOL is that the department heads think spammers/scammers "do homework".
Most binary data will sound like white noise if you listen to it (zip files, video, mp3...etc)
What is the logic for making that illegal?
Don't apply for a job in government...
there is no reason you have to be without children to make some money
But it definitely helps.
Keeping them employed until retirement age.
It's rapidly adopting that meaning in other countries, too.
There's billions and billions of extensions to add extra adverts to IE. Every IE user I know has at least a dozen of them installed.
But ... are you telling me there isn't a single IE add-on to remove adverts, that it takes a special version of the browser from Microsoft to do that?
"Breach" implies access without permission.
The NSA has government-mandated permission so their access doesn't fall under this law.
You forgot one:
- Let the government track your location.
But once you have #1, why do you need to do #2?
Because the TSA will confiscate your #1.
many of our latest phones and laptops don't have accessible or replaceable batteries?
Only if you buy the overpriced ones...
