Heheheh, use SAR Tool much? I remember those days. Pretty bad when they have to have a special removal tool to get the software off your machine.
Plus you have to wonder what back doors were created to allow it to be possible in the first place (since other software should not be able to remove your AV).
And on the OTHER other hand, why is installation ON by default? People don't go looking for Ask toolbar when they download CCleaner, they wanted CCleaner. Why would CCleaner allow themselves to be associated with someone who is the very opposite (tracking browsing and adding cookies) to what CCleaner does?
(I know the answer, but just adding a corollary to your point).
"allow anything to run, only run stuff from registered developers, and only run stuff from the Mac App Store"
I know it's antithetical to Mac users, but I'm sorry where the fuck is the option to allow ONE specific non-App-Store program (after an intensive barrage of warning dialogs)?
Shit in your bed, then whinge because you have to lie in it. You can't fix stupid, but we've been giving users the stupidest possible options for protecting themselves for years.
Even in our (Australia's) supposedly modern democracy, politicians can say anything at all to get elected and can't be held to it once they are. And once they're in they can hide behind things like parliamentary privelege and say anything they like without having to prove it's true.
There is NO true democracy anywhere in the world as far as I know.
You haven't been burned just once. Every car that's been made with built-in iPod support but no equivalent open standard connector has been made obsolete by Apple, so you've been screwed by proxy via your automaker as well.
We should boycott this shit so hard, I already have a useless connector in my car and I'll be reminded every time I sit in it that that's Apple's fault.
It always amazes me that someone at Microsoft's job is to maintain a table of unique error codes for all their software, but it's nobody's job to document or publish that table.
It's true, he can't possibly close his argument. However his premise is muddied by the fact that he sees this as a 'moral' argument rather than simply one of freedom not to be persecuted for rational choices by irrational people. For example, someone reading bullshit from 2000 years ago literally and calling it 'truth'.
99% of Christians have no morals. 99% of moral people aren't Christian. Reexamine your premise and try again.;-)
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.
I just love it when people quote the Bible. Every single word is so ridiculous.
So God had the poops and decided... what? To change his infallible master plan in order to cause these humans to go crazy (remember if God exists, they have no free will anyway)? Or did he know all along that he was going to fuck with these people and simply watched it happen (setting someone unsuspecting up for a fall and then laughing when it happens)?
It's just so funny when not a single sentence could be adequately rationalised, let alone the whole 'principle' that people try to glean from it.
Great performance on lesser hardware... it might do, but I will never admit it nor will I care enough to find out for sure.
I've watched MS destroy performance in every area they've entered. (Anyone remember the MS game Monster Truck Madness?) Meanwhile they've failed to give a shit and have even pushed their multi-tasking operating system back to being a single task interface.
If anyone asks me, "Windows phones are slow and shit, just like Windows is on your PC." Also they crash more and are more expensive.
Am I lying? Only as much as MS has about performance... not even.

You can't possibly be that naive - he did say unintentional deaths, did he not?
Add in all the _intentional_ gun deaths and it becomes the MOST common way for young people to die.
Come on! We're not opposed to shooting people, we're opposed to being told we can't!
Geeez! I mean COME ON!
This, in context of MS, means they have been so completely pwned that they've now decided to do ONE THING their customers want.
This is only to shut you up, not because they give a fuck about you want.
If they gave a fuck, there would be a new version of Windows 7 coming out and Windows 8 would be dumped.

I've been here for about 10 years (I think), and I have never received (nor given) a single point. Go figure.
I would blame my script blocker, but I haven't had that as long as I've had Slashdot.

That's right, I need to run my webserver from my microwave.

The way to get a CEO removed from a company is to publicly name and shame him and then affect his company's performance in the market place.
Looks like that's exactly what they did.
That's right, everone is equal but some people are more equal than others.
They did. Read up on the history of the institution.
How many of the these 'tolerant' people understand that, and how many are scared that teh gayz are taking ar jerrrrbs?

Another popular religion states 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'. If only followers of that religion remembered that.
My religion says that anyone throwing stones is trying to promote Stonosexualism and should be locked away.
Anti-forcing-people-to-be-pro-gay is just paranoia from people who can't separate others rights from their own 'goals'.
Until we invent telepathy, nobody is forcing you to be pro or anti thinking about anything.
If the idea of other people doing what they want in private scares you, it's *you* who need to question what *you* want to force others to do.
Lack of consent has nothing to do with Common Good or whatever you want to call it.
He gets to his conclusiong from there by not going via an arbitrary world-view-centric argument.
Does it make it OK if there's less proportion of the population that you want to persecute?

In the US: Reclaim the holy land!
In Asia: Fuck it!
Yeah I see the pattern.
RR Malaysia ? How much weight does RR Malaysia has ??
In relation to Malaysian planes? Probably more than RR Chicago.
Are you a troll or are you just stupid ?
Straight back atcha!
