Patronizing much, Puto? Read on some more with your 'googles.' That driver does not 'work fine.' You need to power-cycle your printer constantly with Win 7, otherwise it just prints 'unsupported personality' at the top of the page.
...and by power-cycle it I mean unplug it and plug it in again, then wait through a warm-up cycle.
There is almost no scenario where continuing to use XP as your main desktop makes sense
Take the case of my 74-year-old dad.
His Gateway runs XP, and runs well. Chrome is fast, YouTube vids of his grandkids play fine.
Upgrading to Win 7 will cost him $300 - The Win 7 DVD + a new printer, as his HP 1012 doesn't have a Win 7 driver. If there was a $20 / year subscription option I'm sure he'd take it.
Gravity is certainly there, keeping the ISS in orbit (as opposed to it shooting off into space in a straight trajectory), but as the astronauts are constantly 'falling' they don't feel the effect of it. This is why there's no up or down, why their bones atrophy and why they feel nauseous when they first arrive.

go spend a couple weeks on urban safari down at Hastings and Main. I'll toss flowers on your grave when they pull your corpse off the street
Kindly pull your head out of your ass and spend some time down there yourself.
I ride the #3 Main twice a day. I walk through the DTES a couple of times per week on my way to visit friends in Gastown. Is what's going on down there tragic and uncomfortable? For sure. Do I leave valuables in my car down there? Never.
Do I ever feel at risk? Also never.
Oh yeah, and I voted Conservative since I first got the vote in 1988. I left them in the last election. Thank you Harper.
Real world reporters on crime-beat tend to blame society now, it's the PC thing to do.
No, it's because when crime reporters talk to criminals, they discover the criminals' dads beat the snot out of them daily, or their mothers abandoned them or they were sexually abused by their teachers. They discovery they are drug addicts who turn to crime so they don't have to prostitute themselves, and they're addicts because they have untreated mental illness...
Further, why would you want your "internet of things" to operate via telephone towers and telephone carriers?
What else would your motorcycle use? Parking meters? Your burglar / fire alarm? Telemetry at a natural gas junction? Traffic sensors? The wrist band to track granny when she has Alzheimer's? The "Next Bus" sigh at your local bus stop?
...and that's off the top of my head in 30 seconds. I'm sure there are many more.
Did you even RTFA?
This is for the 'internet of things' - Imagine you want to move the anti-theft system in your motorcycle from carrier A to B. Or a city wants to move their digital parking meters to a cheaper carrier. Instead of needing to move a physical SIM you could do is online.
Or an online watch, where there are advantages to having it sealed up, with no SIM slot. Heck even with a 'phone' it's useful. Imagine you arrive in Hong Kong at midnight and you want to move your phone to Vodaphone. You don't have to seek out some store and buy a SIM - Just happens presto.
Why is it if some guy in Arkansas drops $70K on a Ford F450 "dually" he's just a hard-working good ol' boy, but if someone in California buys a Tesla they're they wealthy elite? (I'd never spend over $30K on a car myself, but I just find the comparison interesting).
Devices that are compatible and are switched on to WiFi will automatically download the latest iOS build and install it without requiring user intervention
This is untrue. My 4s is at iOS 6.1.3. It has an indicator that iOS 7 is available as a download, but hasn't auto-downloaded it, or installed it. I also need to free up 4 gigs on my 16 gig iPhone to install it, which I'm too lazy to do these days.

...Vehicles made with non-traditional body parts are more easily modified into time machines.
You replied, though. The Troll achieved success.
I wonder if IMSAI 8080 paid for placement in WarGames?
From:

We decided to go ahead and provide the requested equipment for nothing more than the promotional value and screen credits.
Windows 7, $300? Not even the Ultimate version costs that much...
As I said above: Win 7 + new laser printer that supports win 7 + sales taxes = ~$300
XP has terrible security.
Not if you keep it patched, it's NATed and you don't run stupid attachments. All apply here. He's never had an issue, AFAIK.
Don't you have any hand-me-down machines you could give him?
Not with a Win7 license, no.
How does he even get cartridges for it?
The HP 1012 runs the 12A cartridge. Available everywhere.
Apparently the googles does not work in Vancouver

Adespoton is spot on. No gravitational force can be detected
If no gravitational force can be detected, then how can they 'feel' the effects of gravity? This is completely contradictory.
They feel the effects of gravity
No they don't.

Hey foul-mouthed Anonymous Coward, how many criminals have you sat down with and interviewed? Give me the life story of, oh, I dunno, 10 of them.

So if a solution is not 100% perfect, it has to be thrown into trash can?
Of course. This is Slashdot - Where the edge use case wins, every time - Where perfect is the enemy of good.

Look out the window...
Stolen phones are often shipped out of the country
Exactly right. The company I work for recently recovered a stolen S4 in the Dominican Republic.
It's amazing how these retards affect everything that is sold the in the US.
A small group in Miami determine whether you can buy Havana Club Rum or legally lie in the beach in Varadero.

Did you even *read* what the parent you're replying to wrote? For the FSF, 'freedom' trumps cost. For you (and me, admittedly) it's the opposite.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Back when I had my TRS-80 Model 1 you could 'listen' to the 1.77 MHz Z80 processor do its thing on any AM radio nearby. Now get off my lawn.
It will auto download over Wi-Fi if charger is connected. just try it.
My 4s is on charger on WiFi every night. Hasn't downloaded yet. I guess I don't have enough free space. Maybe I'll keep it that way.

Or perhaps she just hates the mess or the noise they make
Mess? Absolutely. Noise? We have an 80-pound Golden Retriever. He's quietest guy in the house.
