There was a time when I would have agreed with you, but I was wrong. I have a Core 2 Duo that I built with 4 GB of RAM and it goes at least 3X faster with Windows 7 (64 bit) than it did with XP (32 bit).
Installing OpenOffice went from 30 seconds on XP to 10 seconds on Windows 7 on the exact same hardware.
Not necessarily: atheists' reasons are bullshit; but they are often quite coherent bullshit. Moreover, atheists generally subscribe to some flavor of a evolutionary command theory of ethics and believe that they are carrying out evolution, which logically implies that they do not believe that they are carrying out a morally wrong action.(Arguably, evolutionary theories of ethics are incoherent, Paul having more or less shoved a stake in their heart ages ago; but they are quite common and quite commonly believed, even on inspection, to be coherent).
If anything, the most dangerous atheists are characterized by their extreme degree of value-rational conduct. In the case of pretty much any atheist of note, you'll find, either around them or in the society that spawned them, numerous people who embrace the same epistemological and metaphysical convictions who, nevertheless, are only modestly dangerous, at most, because they do not follow their convictions through to their rational conclusion, such as killing millions of "unfit" people.
Wow. Amazing how that works equally well to refer to Hitler, Stalin and Mao. So, basically, it isn't the philosophy as much as the extremism.
Your name will show up as an Alias on their credit report and your address will show up as a former/current place of residence. Then, later, if your house is being foreclosed, it may affect their ability to get a loan or sell their house.
I used to write mortgage software and credit report retrieval software and I have seen this exact situation, probably from someone giving out a "fake" SSN for privacy reasons, although we had no idea why this other information was on the report (maybe a transposed SSN).
Anyway, you can have a negative effect on others by doing this.
Yes, instead we should censor repeatable experiments done with the scientific method that poke holes in the theories of Evolution and the Big Bang. Because that's Scienceâ.
Yeah, and am I the only one that's noticed that Windows 7 is actually really, really good? It's kind of hard to beat Microsoft in the OS game when they just stepped up like that.
Yes, with average use and Auto Power mode, my Asus EEEPC 901 HA goes for a day and a half easily. It really does get over 6 hours as claimed, which for a netbook is almost 2 days of use in my experience.
And I play my daughter's 720p gymnastics videos all the time with no stuttering, but I have to put it in "High Power" mode to do that. Of course, I need to install the KLite Codec Pack first, but it works. YouTube is no problem at all, even HD clips.
It's true that some people are more problem-prone. My Dad could break ANYTHING. Lawn mowers, about every year and a half. Vacuum cleaners, about every year (although now he has had a Dyson for about 3 years and only repaired it twice). Not to mention can openers, dishwashers (my mom wouldn't let him do dishes anymore unless he did them by hand).
He missed his calling. He should have been in quality control.
I don't use ABP, because I think that blocking ALL ads isn't cool. But I really don't want every random site on the internet running code on my machine using the latest zero-day Microsoft or Flash bug either. So I use NoScript.
I don't see most ads, because they are served from another site using Javascript. But lately, some sites are showing static ads that do work with NoScript. That's fine. I really don't mind the static ads.
While a lot of people have been killed in the name of religion throughout the centuries, it is nowhere near "billions". And the only people to come close to billions in the last century were all atheists (Stalin, Mao) or followers of eugenics teaching (Hitler).
So while the religious may be dangerous at times, they seem a lot less dangerous than the irreligious.

No. This is EXACTLY how patents are supposed to work. Without patents, the rich get richer and the poor, small software company ALWAYS LOSES.
In this case, they have won. Now the only argument is what is an appropriate remedy from Microsoft to them.
Gronk!

Poor Maria Gonzalez. All of them.

Actually Windows 7 seems quite innovative. I am really liking it, and I hated Vista.
Been there, done that. (OK, it was the Wycliffe and Tyndale Bibles, but same difference.)
And I think God should torture everyone without a Bible... Oh, wait, he's going to...
They gave up the ammo box a long time ago.
"How would you like us to shave a dollar off your monthly cable bill?"
Well, now that you put it that way...
That's LAME! Or, actually, in this case it's not.
And lyrics! I figure if I am buying songs, shouldn't they at least have lyrics?
I've worked at a lot of places where comp time worked. You just have to have cool bosses instead of greedy pigs.
Hey, hon, does your leg of lamb taste like toothpicks?
Yeah, and am I the only one that's noticed that Windows 7 is actually really, really good? It's kind of hard to beat Microsoft in the OS game when they just stepped up like that.
I have Vonage, they're a pretty good competitor.

I assume that if you wait for the chkdsk to be done, you'll get the memory back.
Yeah, I was happy for the free floppies. It saved me a lot of trips to the store since I got them at work too.
Turn in your geek card.
Use NoScript then.
