They tried to make several games DX10 only (Vista), with DX10 not available on XP. End result was not more Vista sales, but abysmal sales of those games. And some were pretty damn good games. A little DLL hack allowed them to play on DX9 without a flaw, so it was not a compatibility issue..... it was pure fuck-fuck games from microsoft.
Find the chipset of [Whateverhardware] and locate Win7 drivers for that from the manufacturer. No, not HP or Dell, from who made the part. BroadComm or Intel or Creative.
While it is possible some piece of hardware has been made to work on Win8 only, I have not found one yet.
Any new PC is hard wiped as soon as I open the box. I then reinstall a clean version of the OS licensed to that box on it, harden it, add malware prevention, and add the software that I (or the wife) will need.
Crapware? I quit worrying about that in the early 90's when Packard Bell started doing it. It baffles me that everyone does not do it.
third party mods have put the menu back with NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER.
none. Works flawlessly. this is not a complete re-work- this is putting a goddamn sticker on a fucking window kind of easy for microsoft, to abuse your analogy.
While in Afghanistan, the only way i could see a movie was buy the DVD (or digital copy thereof) or pirate it.
I would happily pay the theater price to watch it online. I watched netflix when it was an option, after tweaking it with browser addons so I could bypass the bandwidth sensing (forcing it to stay on low and cache sufficiently so my high latency 1400 ping 256k can handle it) and physical location barriers (my satellite was a UK company, sat exited in a German IP range).
However, that is very limited. And new movies were simply not an option except via piracy. I can wait 6 months for the DVD if I am lucky, or just watch it now and buy the DVD later if I want it.
So, I am sure most do not want a shitty copy- but some are happy to have that much.
"That means no voting for the rest of your life, and you can't own or buy guns."
Utter bullshit. Only 3 states prohibit voting for ex-cons, and they cannot prevent you from voting in their state if you were convicted in a different state (comity clause).
I hate this oft-repeated lie. It was the main force behind trying to steal the 2012 elections by purging "felons" from voter rolls across the country. Who questions such a move when it is "common knowledge" that felons can't vote? And it makes a great talking point for the low-information voters to wring their hands over "voter fraud".
And, on the other point, felon gun ownership is complex. As a rule of thumb, no they can't. but there are many nuances to that that may be a yes for a given felon.
many middle eastern countries import a lot of workers form the Philippines and India. They take their passports once they arrive, pop them in a housing facility and bus them to work and back. They never make enough to get ahead of the debt they incurred for this wonderful opportunity, and cannot leave without their passport- which they will not get back until their debt is paid.
communication to places like Amnesty International or women's help groups is prevented to help keep the slaves from revolting.
Any theory they wish to present is welcome. they present nothing- all they do is attack existing science with lies. They distort findings, quote mine, and outright lie in their claims. When debunked, in detail, with facts, findings, and a point by point explanation of where their claim has been falsified- they merely repeat the claim louder.
It is not a matter of being afraid of the competition. It is a matter of keeping lunatics from polluting the education system with nonsense.
I highly doubt there is much crossover between the ones who protest creationist biology books and the people telling you to get a job ya bum.
Unless you mean the ones protesting good biology- in which case you are mistaken. they do not go the democratic route- they pay of elected officials and insert their own people to head up critical points in the selection process instead.
however, way back then they were good schools, and had none of this horseshit polluting the education program. A few people whined and bitched, but they were told to take it to a church school or STFU about it.
They fail because of the "starve the beast" approach that the GOP loves to use when they want to kill something. take away it's funding a little at a time until it falters, then point out what a failure it is.
Remember, us public schools were number 1 in the world for a long time before the starvation began. the only reason they want it dead is to divert all that money away from children's heads and into their own pockets via "privatization". Many examples in towns where they have managed to kill the public schools and use the charter system to replace them- they cost more and have slipped further down the ranks than they were when the program was initiated. less efficient, less effective, but someone is getting rich from the whole deal.

Google created a monster in their patent troll office, and now that monster is chewing on their door.
Irony? maybe....

the touch menu us unweildy, and many professionals have a LOT of muscle memory for tasks.
they have not just moved a few things, they have completely removed a primary tool.
What is wrong with walking in the middle of the street? Sidewalks are so much more restrictive!
I have been calling that the "fuck you" menu since they announced they were putting the start menu back and we saw what it did...
They simply purchase a subscription with your credit card.
All they are doing is ending free access. they have always had a "pro" access level. that will be their main business model now.
Some Restrictions Apply. Not available on Wall Street, near political elections, or Washington D.C.

Seriously, which part of "shut up" confuses you?
they can't fish, push, or work you toward anything if you
don't
fucking
talk.
The word you are looking for is "reeks".
it "reeks" of corruption.
you "toe the line".
the point is "moot".
Sorry, a pet peeve of mine when people mangle common sayings like this. It bottles the mind how many people do it. ;)

FBI involvement in movie copyright started in the1970's. Clinton's last term ended in 2000. That was one hell of a long presidency.

Who needs a keylogger when you can just pipe their output to your local machine directly?
Anyone can pray, anytime they choose. The only thing outlawed is the ability of any employee to force kids to pray.
you'd shit yourself in the rush to burn down the school if your kid came home and told you the principal led them all in prayer to Satan.
Perhaps you are a product of these religious PUBLICLY FUNDED charter schools?

"But, fwiw, everyone who was allowed to stay is an H1B holder."
And being paid an average of 25% less, with deportation threats to hold over them if they decide 80 hours a week should rate overtime or comp time.

you would realize how silly you look here.
You: "hi. come on in! Welcome to my home. Have a seat, make yourself comfortable...... WHAT THE FUCK? HOW DID YOU GET IN MY HOUSE??"
