To suggest that Uncle Larry will switch to Linux because she doesn't like the tile interface is absurd!
They'll just do what my Dad does and run Windows XP on the 900Mhz machine with 256MB RAM I'm not allowed to upgrade because "it works the way he wants it to, even if it's a bit slow" while the new machine I transferred all his data to collects dust.
I cannot buy Healthcare Insurance from California if I live in the New York unless my employer is based in California and it's provided to me by my employer. The Health Insurance companies are(were?) "protected" from national insurance operations beyond state boundaries... Interestingly, automotive insurance can be sold across state lines yet that is regulated by the States.
Insurance firms in each state are protected from interstate competition by the federal McCarran-Ferguson Act (1945), which grants states the right to regulate health plans within their borders. Large employers who self-insure are exempt from these state regulations. Thus there is a patchwork of 50 different sets of state regulations, and the cost for an insurer licensed in one state to enter another state market is often high.
Around my office, I feel as though revenge would be encouraged... We had signed up on some silly "DJ" site where 5 people get to pick songs and others would rate them. Eventually the design side joined us and started playing repetitive as hell electronic music. One of the developers loaded up some Mastodon and it all went downhill from there. We ended up just going back to headphones.
Most of the geeks/nerds that are in my social circles are also.
... duh. If they didn't care about the same things you do they likely wouldn't be in your social circle. I know plenty of geeks/nerds that I would rather part ways than hang around with because they like something I do not or believe in something I do not. I don't generally hang out with someone I don't agree with (with a few exceptions.)
In some areas, higher than average usage is reported to authorities. So, your power may not be packet inspected... but if you happen to be keeping persistent cloud based backups of your data and using up a TON of bandwidth... you may have your house raided in the middle of the night under suspicion of sharing data with people.
Yes it is. I'm not sure what you were reading but there's no radiator... all it's doing is using natural convection of water (heat rises) to allow the hot water to fill the pipe and the return water line allows the cooled water to return to the bottom of the water heater. It keeps hot water in the pipes at all times. (without a radiator)
On page 5 of that PDF it uses a pump like the one you linked, but that pump is purely optional if you have your water heater in your basement. The natural convection will work to keep hot water nearby your bathroom.
I'd be interested in having the (cooled down) hot water lines in my house purged when I walk into the bathroom in the morning
That can be done by a plumber... or yourself if you are ambitious. Run a return line from your bathroom branch of your plumbing to a lower point on your water heater (there's a drain valve at the bottom... you can 'T' off before that) and natural convection of water will ensure that your pipes are always "charged" with hot water from your water heater. It's called a hot water loop or a recirculating loop.

Can I get my digital copy on Steam, if I want? Absolutely. The digital copies will be made available through Steam and other DRM free digital distribution methods.
PLEDGE $55 OR MORE... premiere access to an early playable beta on steam.
Hmm, consider me incorrect. I had a tag setup that was the same as one of my circles I use often... now I know why one person isn't getting any of my email.
I signed up for G+ to see what it was all about and after putting people in Circles, I now communicate (email) using circle names instead of email addresses/people names... I rarely (if ever) share on my feed.
I'm not sure why tagging them before just didn't click, but the circles are so easy to manage and discover people so maybe that's why.
Who cares if Ford is the only one making the engines for your vehicles as long as the badge on the front of your car says Corvette! Obviously, you can't go after Ford for monopolistic practices since you're driving a shell that says it was made by Chevy. I mean, can't you see how this works? You do have a choice... a choice of badges.
It's a good question. Perhaps each file could have a separate history file. If you copy the history of that document along with the document, someone could scrub through your edit history. Most of the time, you're going to be sending only the latest revision. However, the history file could include a marker designating where in your history the document was closed (or currently open to) and allow you to send a prior version. It should be fairly transparent to the average user, but I have no problem letting someone advanced pop open a dialog allowing them to send any arbitrary revision. (In fact, I encourage apps have "advanced" options for those that really dig into the application itself.)
I don't understand why it isn't configuarable on a per-application basis with the menu items intact and the addition of an autosave toggle below save and save as.
I agree.
To the other point: Why couldn't you just open the document and "rewind" the document to the point you want to go back to? The "undo history" could be a part of the document.
I don't know, I think someone could argue that when someone opens a document they could still think of that document like a sheet of paper and pen. You don't have to save that sheet of paper you picked up. When you write on it, it's always going to be there even when you come back or you lose power. Computers could allow you to store a history of that paper and play back in time like a video history. I think we accept save/load because that's how we've always worked, but I don't know if it's any more intuitive to someone starting fresh on a computer. (Heck, I think everyone here had to be taught to save at one point. It may have been one time, but it was still taught.)

I tend to put on stuff like Fear Factory - Human Shields or Sara Lee - Like Dreamers.
I think you interpreted the post all wrong. They were trying to get your attention so they could put in a slam about developers.

Well, there's no DirectX 12 yet... and it will obviously use some new technology that Windows 7 could never handle.

Wasteland raised over $3 million. It's not epic, but it's damn good for crowd funding.
Pretty certain it's not:

I just type the circle name in the To field and it auto completes to the circle's user email addresses.

I kid you not... I worked with a designer that didn't know what model car he drove. He knew it was a Chrysler and had a steering wheel.

Which 90% would that be?
The Second 90%. The Third and Fourth 90% are still theoretical.
They need a moon base first.

Some things mark changes you may have not done manually. (poor example: Let's say my IDE is setup to replace spaces with tabs or vice versa.)
