AV software is picking up the slack for badly designed operating systems.
I know of only one operating system that needs AV. Are you telling me that MacOS, iOS, BSD, OSX, and Linux need AV? because I 've never heard of a virus in the wild ever attacking any of those OSes.
Call a spade a spade: AV software is picking up the slack for Microsoft's badly designed operating systems (and MS shills and fanbois with mod points be damned).
Microsoft needs to get its act together. Microsoft is the culprit here, and is the sole reason botnets exist.
That's like saying "don't you think it's a little demeaning to the British when you Northern Irish bomb their police stations?"* The atheists (actually, a subset of them) are at war with anyone who would dare to believe in a diety, despite the fact that the athiests have noything but faith to back up their extreme beliefs.
I just shake my head and have pity for them. Such fear, God but it must hurt to be an antitheist.
* Yes, I know the violence there is supposed to have ended.
Can you give a citatiion? Because sorry, but I think you're a liar. I'm having little luck googling for 1932 and 1934 murder rates, most of the links are firewalled off here (meaning they're suspect as good citations anyway), but one I did find asks "alcohol and homocide in the United States 1934-1995:or one reason rates of violence may be going down". It looks like after Prohibition, murder rates dropped and continued to drop.
I could find nothing to back up your assertion. Link, or I'm outing you as another anti-drug liar and likely a member of that pack of liars, the Partnership for a Drug Free America.
Your grasp of history is a bit shakey. Al Capone was in the hooker business before Prohibition. As long as you have such a thing as a victimless "crime" that "crime" will be pretty much ignored by most, and exploited by some. When Alcohol prohibition ended, the Mafia moved to other, still (often newly) illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin.
Legalize drugs, gambling, and prostitution and the cartels will have little expect extortion and other rackets that have victims and willing trial witnesses.
No way, this is a spaceport. I have Martian Boogie running through my head. (It's mentioned briefly in the wikipedia article on that band and is one of my favorite songs).
If real, usable, economic warp speed spacecraft propulsion is ever invented, that doesn't mean the "star trek" writers should get credit.
Actually, it just might. That's how we got self-opening doors. When TOS came out and Disney was planning EPCOT, they saw Star Trek and their "imagineers" went to Paramount to find out how they accomplished it. They were discouraged when told that the "self operating" doors were opened and closed by stagehands, by hand. Less than ten years later they were on almost every grocery store.
I'd say that if someone came up with a way to warp spce, Star Trek should get some credit.
It's certainly far better than any OS MS made before, but it's not even close to KDE IMO. Personally, I hate the "Libraries feature" although I can see how someone administering a lot of clueless users would like it. I especially dislike it with "display hidden files" turned on.
It's faulty in that you can't network win 7 computers unless at least one of them is W7 pro (or Linux). Having to reboot to update is a horrible flaw, unless of course it's the kernel that's being updated. Not having the facility to have it reboot into the same state it was in when you shut it off is a huge flaw as well. They seem to have gone backwards with the control panel, XP's layout was reasonable easy to use, W7's is hard to navigate. They also went backwards with the file manager. If I'm looking at a directory of oggs or mp3s it will no longer let me sort by date or file type (especially annoying when you have WAVs and MP3s with the same name and you want to move the WAVs to a different directory). And when you add a new directory, the one you're adding it to slides all the way to the bottom, which is maddening when you have a directory with over a hundred subdirectories. Search also wen backwards, I can no longer search for a phrase from within a fil as before, and search has gotten rid of its other useful features -- desktop search in W7 is completely useless. Its only advantafe over KSE is it's prettier, but I really don't care how pretty my tools are.
Better than the ones before, but far from perfect and inferior to Linux+KDE in almost every way.
If it were up to my parents, they'd send me off to prison for the same reason.
Well, yes, the reason is ignorance.
"My house, my rules."
Well, they're right, there. You should be able to set the rules in the house you're paying for.
"No buying pot with my money."
Again, they have that right.
This is the only thing keeping me from abusing pills and winding up in a straightjacket (because they haven't stoped fucking up their job in subtle ways since I was born).
It sounds like they've indeed screwed you up mentally. When you get to college, seek out some counselling.
You can find the knob by feel, and tell the different knobs apart if they're different sizes or have different fluting.

If you include self modifying code ( which already exists ) then that statement isn't 100% as things will evolve beyond what the programmer wrote.
I've written self-modifying code, but the code still operates under the conditions and constraints on it. It isn't thinking, it's just following instructions.
As to a simulation, a simulation of an atomic explosion produces simulated radiation, not real radiation. A simulated brain would likewise produce simulated thought.
You can't make real butter without cream. You can simulate it with hydrogenated oils, but margarine isn't butter, even if it will fool some people.
I've seen them as healdlight switches, too, and that's even dumber than wipers. Hit your turn signal wrong and the lights go out, wht moron decided that was safe?
Fortunately I haven't had a car with the cruise on the stem. Mine has the controls on the steering wheel, accessabe without taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel.
Well, since homo sapiens is the only animal that can read and write, I guess you could say there is a correlation. Of course, that doesn't mean that not understanding homophones makes you non-human, just non-literate.
Me, I'd give the bread away to the homeless man and charge Gates whatever I charged everyone else. As a capitalist? Nope, that's not my religion, even if it is my country's predominant one. You can't both be a capitalist and treat others as you would wish to be treated.

there's something like dyslexia for full words?)
If I can ever get to where you change sigs (slashbugs keeping me out) my new sig is going to read "Illiterate? Write today for free help!"

Shame on you and your temperance friends.
My great uncle started smoking at age 12, and stopped at age 82 when a skin cancer on his lip scared him. He lived another ten years.

Oh bullshit. Everybody knows she was carried away by space aliens to the Delta Quadrant and put in cold storage until Voyager found her!
No, he's serious. And don't call hime Shirly.

It probably won't affect me, but what of the users who want to run Windows Dual Boot on a Linux or Apple box?

If God exists at all and created it all, he is a physicist that created a baby universe in the lab
I can agree with that.
and has no ability to interact with the universe beyond the initial conditions set to make the universe successful
That's a pretty unwarranted assumption with no facts to support it.
A lot of controls seem to be hybrid
That was what I was referring to. Too often I'll hit the turn signal, and the wipers will come on.
Either way, I don't like to fidget with them while driving.
That's wise.
So much for "SafeBoot". maybe we shoulc now start calling it "unsafe boot"?
Hey, thanks! I'll try it when I get home. Why does Microsoft hide it like that?

If a modern human couldn't mate with one and produce offspring, it isn't human.
They are doing no such thing. Microsoft is not forcing vendors to ship computers with only MS approved keys
