By SOPA you obviously mean H.R 3261, or something that NO senators support, it being a House bill. The corresponding senate bill is PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), S.968.
That's not to say that they are all sweetness and light though, they are known to suppress some negative data, so billions are spent repeating research already done by another company. I don't have any solutions, but there are issues with the current system that could be resolved (with regulation, mostly, sorry all you small governmentists).
One can't expect for profit companies to always be entirely truthful if said truth would harm profits, as they are there to make money, it's what shareholders demand.
The change was made with Vista, 7 merely copied the installer. I liked that changing your location also updated your keyboard, time zone, currency etc. I've not seen another installer do that, but then I assume it will come at some point.
Mostly systems fail at start because of manufacturing defects or after a few years due to mechanical failure. At least in one image I saw they were using water cooling on their boards, which should reduce the mechanical failure issue of fans, I would also assume they are using some fault tolerant storage which is the other major failure route. If you take a, possibly optimistic, failure rate of 1% that is about 1 machine failing a day over a 3 year life span. Being as I would make them as similar as possible to make the job of swapping out much easier I can't see it being that much of an issue.
When I buy a used car I don't get the original owners warranty or any free stuff which may have come with the original purchase, free services, road tax, insurance offers etc. Not entirely sure why you think a secondhand purchase should be the same as buying new. Being as this is a relatively effective and less intrusive way of reducing piracy it's better this direction than others have taken.
If you can come up with a good solution to reducing piracy and rewarding genuine purchasers of software then you could make a lot of money.
Also when I buy a car I am generally required to give lots of personal information, are you suggesting that you should be able to just have software like a book. Well it comes with some services (online content, updates, support) and it is reasonable to request registration for such services.
You however seem to want the moon on a stick, which I am unable to assist you with.
Well IBM, HP, Oracle, Cisco are all big vertically integrated businesses, HP is much better at attracting corporate business, Sony and Apple have the high end consumer machines sewn up and Acer, Asus, Lenovo etc are competing with Dell on the lower end. I'm not surprised this is being mentioned as Dell have gone from number 1 supplier of x86 machines to 3 or 4 and see the big 4 doing the whole integration thing and that really doesn't leave Dell anywhere. They don't have the best in really any field, they do need to change something to get back to where they were.
Not sure if this will go anywhere but Dell do need to pull something out the bag or they are going to be an also ran.
Ok, so that's a 2 stroke, so considerably less efficient than even a common diesel. Diesel has the ability to be more efficient per unit volume due to the larger quantity of energy available. It's not uncommon in Europe to have small cars approach 100mpg (imperial, obviously). So a specifically tuned unit only doing a fixed RPM (to run the generators) is going to be even better than that. So essentially nothing to see here please move along. Plus it depends if that's 300mpg at 40mph as that's easier to get as a headline figure than the standard figures released.
Because I always find tech support so pleasant when not sat in front of the problem device. Always useful when the first step, which _cannot_ be skipped is to reboot the device. Or maybe it's just me who only speaks to idiots.
Err generally autism affects a persons ability to lie, I have no evidence either way or an opinion but certainly autism would make it more likely that they were honest. Although that's not to say it applies in every case.

Holding America back, the rest of the world doesn't allow this sort of shit to happen (we have our own pointless crap).

Faith in driving tests, we manage with them just fine here, sorry if you don't live in the civilised world.

From 10 years of data I can tell you what is definitely going to happen in 15 years, you're obviously not trying hard enough.

It's his toy, if you want you can take the code and give it whatever version number you like there is nothing stopping you.
I thought they crashed into Mars.
I thought they were going for the Watt balance over the silicon as that will probably have the same mass loss issues as the kilo does at the moment.
I would have said that for most angular measurements you need a couple of pies.
And 60 is just a hold over from the Babylonians.
A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter*

Today it does, thought I'd get in early.
Can I get a +5 funny please.
Nonsense the obvious question is will this come in a shark fitting form factor or not.
You thought of an AV system, my receiver will downscale any input to composite out you could probably find one for $300.
But that wouldn't allow Apple to crank up the evil meter one more time.

It's not in the developed world.
