These are mostly new functions added for Windows 8, they don't exist in the Windows 7 SDK.
If you wrote your programs to use them, they wouldn't work on 7, only 8, which everyone seems to hate.
If MS added them to a patch for 7, there would then be 2 fragmented versions of Windows 7, so if a customer calls you asking if your software works on Windows 7, you would have to ask if they have installed KB######, and they would say 'I don't know.', or they might lie and say yes, or no, and you'll have to walk them through checking installed Windows updates...
How can you prove the leech on you neck is sucking blood?, just because it gets fat and swollen with red juice doesn't mean it's draining the blood from your system, in fact, it's stimulating the production of more blood!
"One example occurred earlier this month, when the Federal Reserve announced its plans to continue a long-running bond-buying program. The news was announced in a lockdown room at Fed headquarters in Washington, DC, and allowed to leave the room at exactly 2:00PM EST, timed to the millisecond. Somehow, markets in Chicago began trading on the information instantaneously, without waiting the few milliseconds that it would have taken for information to travel via microwave. Clearly someone leaked the information — but so far, they're getting off scott free."
I have an attorney friend with two AT&T cell phone lines.
A client was disputing billed hours (despite my friend charging a flat rate...); the client was the one continually calling him, asking questions he had already answered over and over...
anyway, on the AT&T website the link to download detailed call records next to each phone line summary only downloads data from the first line, even though it appears to be separate files; there was no way to download detailed usage data for secondary lines.
This was causing a HUGE amount of anxiety for my friend, because he couldn't find official call records to match his personal logs, until I figured out that AT&T online billing was providing data for the wrong phone!
A severe bitch session with AT&T on the phone followed shortly, and after a few escalations and transfers, he got a technician to e-mail a copy of the data he needed.
I didn't know they used to be Goldstar, or I wouldn't have bought their monitor in the first place.
I fell asleep with Dragonball Z paused one night, and Goku's hairline got permanently burned in; along with the still legible "Kaenneth has won a cultural victory!" from play 'one more turn' on Civ 4 a bit too much.

And you can measure inefficiency by measuring loss.

I've thought for a while there should be 2 classes of Corporation.
1) Does real business (Manufacturing, Retailing, Services...); cannot own any part of other corporations.
2) Owns parts of type 1's; cannot do other business aside from managing shares etc. (mutual funds/investment collectives/trust funds...)
No complex ownership webs allowed. Two layers at most.
It's just a more complicated version of Superman III

it's the Federal Communications Commission, not the Federal Radio Commission.
Sounds like poor planning on your companies part...
I've also been getting redirects to other sites.
Only from Slashdot. CNN, Everquest, Ars Tech, 4chan, bay12 all fine, only Slashdot is doing this.
Also, one of my peeves, ads that peg a CPU core at 100%.
Key bank does this as well; it appears to be becoming standard.
Basically, Banks are refusing to cash checks for their face value.
This flies in the face of the entire point of a check, being "Give this guy this amount of money."
If they want to charge a fee, they need to charge it to their customer, not their customer's customer.
Except the US is a democracy (or democratic republic, whatever) so the blame lies squarely on the voters.

Wrote and debugged a dial up message board server for the Commodore 64 while at camp for 2 weeks.
In a paper notebook, since this was the 80's are we were 15 miles from the nearest power lines.
When I got home, I transcribed it, and it worked perfectly. (for a single phone line dial up board for a few friends)
The Postal Service also doesn't publish a lot of material it mails for itself.
Comcast/Xfinity should be forced to separate from their content creation side. (NBC/Universal)
NBC/Universal should be separated from Comcast/Xfinity as a condition of any more mergers/acquisitions.

Yes, I did that while bored once.
Yeah, the jobs disappear.
I'll just mention this, never, ever snort Pop-Rocks.
Well, you COULD give every passenger a virtual control stick on a display panel on their back seat, and let democracy fly the plane.

Missing the 3rd element, which is the hardest to prove or disprove.
