I often get it on a USB stick that's permanently plugged into my PC (as a 'daily backup' device). Windows only needs to freak out a bit and the dialog will appear.
If you work in an illuminated room then you simply adjust the "searchlight" to be the same brightness as your surroundings. It's not difficult.
Using a black background in even a moderately illuminated room wreaks havoc on your eyes. Try it. Look at your darkened screen for 20 seconds then look at a white wall. Notice anything?
I think that such products are aimed more at meat eaters than long time vegetarians. I'd say that most meat eaters do it because they like the taste rather than because they want animals slaughtered
No, they do it because that's how they were raised. People's "tastes" form at a young age.
(not seeing the slaughter also helps, I think if a few more kids saw an animal being killed it would make a big difference)
As someone trying to eat more vegetarian for health and environmental reasons, i'd appreciate it. Personally I eat vegetarian most days of the week, but still love e.g. steaks, burgers, and sushi, and still eat meat on Saturdays as a treat.
Only eating meat on Sundays is almost 100% of the reduction that's actually needed in the world.
In-between? There's so many genuinely tasty vegetable dishes it's untrue. I don't know why people insist on so much meat.
(Yeah, we know, you can have those as a side-dish to accompany your dead animals - win-win, right? FFS)
If one wants write caching and the like on a removable disk, then one should have to specifically enable it.
And... it should be simple to do, not buried under 300ft of dialogs and registry edits. eg. A tickbox on the first page of device properties - "Enable write caching until ejected (Y/N)".
Why? If you've ever tried to delete 10,000 files from a USB stick you'd already know why.
Why does Slashdot need special curly quotes and apostrophes? Are Mac owners really so disgusted by ordinary ASCII ones?
If we give them that they'll want a different font (which nobody but Mac owners can distinguish from the existing one) and lower contrast color schemes, too.

Yeah, I used to have a shitty "don't care" attitude towards other things, too.
Once upon a time meat didn't come all nicely packaged from the supermarket.
Once upon a time killing your livestock was only for special occasions or when there was no other food left.
It is kinda like, for lack of a better comparison, slavery.
I think that's quite a good comparison.
Being accustomed something doesn't make it natural or good.
Nobody said "all".
I think we should wait until they actually film a gorilla hunting other monkeys before deciding.
Either way, it's obvious that gorillas don't have their canines for the same reason lions do.
"There's plenty of opportunities" for adding mammal DNA to gorilla scat after the fact, Schubert said. "I don't really think they're eating meat."
Nope.

What's HD Audio? I'm curious :)
48KHz 16bit audio data provably matches or exceeds the limits of human hearing
But.... bigger numbers MUST be better!!!!!

Take a look in the mirror, and smile. The Incisors and Canines in your mouth evolved primarily for eating meat,
Nope. Gorillas have massive canines but they never eat meat.
Incisors? They work for plants, too. Biting apples is much easier with incisors than molars.
The puny little canines that humans still have? Throwbacks to when we used to fight like gorillas. No use at all for hunting/killing.

At last!
Now I'll be able to send my text messages in 1us instead of the 1ms it typically takes at the moment.
Has any consumer actually asked for 5G or is it just marketing?
No it isn't, it's awful, low contrast and very hard on the eyes.
Anything which is light text on dark background only works in dark basements with backlit keyboards.

Yes.
Really? So what are all these web pages on about, then?

It's much simpler than that to convert them to ordinary ASCII quotes and apostrophes so you don't have to upgrade your ASCII database.
(or any of the other problems that can appear when you undertake a large switch to Unicode).
Rubbish, I get it quite often (Windows 7).
There's entire web pages dedicated to this, eg.:

Was the Amiga able to sense a floppy is in the drive?
Yes, they managed to dedicate a whole I/O pin to that.

When does the OS say "all done"?
The web browser is a solved problem. Worrying about trivial bullshit like the shape of tabs is ridiculous.
But... there's still two millimeters on the title bar where the user can click the mouse to move the window around. We have to cover that up ASAP!
It's becoming clear that this sort of deregulation was what he meant when he talked about "draining the swamp".
