  1. So how were they spying on us to figure this out? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    It would seem to me that the only people they're watching is their own employees, maybe a couple of small focus groups. To say that most everyone isn't using a Start button would mean they were snooping on our activities.

    That's not a whole lot of assumptions, fool. It's obvious you've never worked in any higher-level of business, let alone a corporation.

    Protip: I'm a CEO, of an INTERNATIONAL company. You're so deluded it's not even funny.

    So forcing me to enter into a business relationship, against my will, is legal?

    Well, fuck, I might as well start shooting every government member, since they don't want to enter into a 'play fair' agreement with me. It's only fair, after all.

    Can't tell if poorly educated, or just ignorant of where Japan is in relation to England and how day and night works.

    "Incorrect, though I suppose I should not feed the trolls."

    Actually, quite correct. I've gone down this legal route before in Tennessee, being a disabled American myself.

    But you keep on thinking you know what you know when you've obviously never had to go to court regarding such things.

    Design patents are bullshit too. "Hi, we own the rights to rounded corners."

    Idiot 6-digit UIDs without a real clue about the inner workings of the patent system are always funny.

    "If you're going to make a statement about how IP regs are stifling innovation you should come up with an example that doesn't involve a company lazily duplicating 25 details of a competitor's design."

    You're confused because those same 'design ticks' are not unique in any fucking way and are a natural expectation in most things. Would you want an iPhone with corners that stabbed you? No? That's pretty fucking obvious. Certain OS design parts might be infringing, but the PHYSICAL part is total bullshit and you fucking know it, you apologist.

    we're talking about heads, not the platters themselves (well except for how their rotation creates a cushion of air.) Learn how to follow the conversation.

    I never got fired. Look at your moronic assumption. Also, look at your poor knowledge of fluid dynamics.

    Loud as in I can't turn my receiver up past 2 before my speakers begin distorting. That's with loudness off and the speakers placed far from the turntable, with the turntable sitting atop dynamat to absorb some vibration.

    It's cut LOUD. a simple 3x magnifying lens lets me see the grooves rather nicely.

    We asked for a sample to test out how well it would work on a 100w micro-array. Took us 4 months and a couple thousand dollars to get one. No COTS implementations available. We had better luck putting the array on a wedge of metal and rotating the entire assembly.

    Not one fucking thing since HDDs in laptops are 5K+ RPM and capable of handling 75+G and get moved around all the time.

    In your world, you must be too poor to own a laptop. Must also mean a poor understanding of physics as well.
