    Actually, I have a Linux box right next to me & a sound card I can't find a driver for, a sound card that plugged & played when this was a Windows box.

    Well, in my laptop that died recently & I tore appart, the battery was right next to one of the hinges, actually on top of a section of where the hinge connects to the case.
    Do the different operating systems handle batteries differently, could one cause the battery to be hot from controling the charging circuit a different way ?

    The exaust duct for the processor fan was right on top of the other hinge.
    I assume the different operating systems handle the way the processor works differently, could the amount of heat being exausted over the hinge be different with the two operating systems ?


    I'm aware that we probably have different laptops, but my laptop is an example of how this could be possible, at least in my opinion, but I'm no expert, that's why I ask.

    Could it be possible that Linux utilized different parts of the laptop more than Windows would have, thus creating more heat near the hinge & causing a failure prematurely ?

    Does that mean you will soon be seeing TV commercials at the top of Google search results page?


    Not me, I have Flash disabled unless I'm expecting to see/use it, so unless Google moves the entire search result system to Flash I'm not going to see anything, that is if they use Flash to display the video as I expect.

    If the portion of the botnet is attacking sites not on Corporation property, it's obviously not attacking Corporation property.
    Why do somthing to bring it to Corporation property, what's in it for them other than an increased workload ?

    Welcome to the real world, things work a bit different here then wherever you come from.

    You're in denial that people with different perspectives are in the same place you are, you should cut down on the video games & scifi movies.

    Nobody is forcing them to work where implants are required, there's plenty of other places to work for the people to chose from, if they don't like it, they can go work somewhere else.

    If nobody wants to get an implant & the company fails, fine, but to say the company is not allowed to make implants required infringes on that companies rights.

    This is not like saying women or black people can not work somewhere because they're a woman or black, that is somthing people are born with, implants aren't somthing people are born with, implants are no different than requiring that employees follow a dress code.

    Nobody is forcing people to work there, if the company wants to require employees be tagged with RFID there shouldn't be a problem with that because the potential employee has a choice.
