Just because MS sells ergonomic devices does not necessarily mean the study is completely without merit. They may not need to "prop up" the sales of their devices if the study is accurate. And with all the folks I see with carpal tunnel, tendinitis, and other similar injuries on a daily basis, I wouldn't have a hard time believing their findings at all.
Not everything MS does has evil intent behind. Some sure, but not all.
Self-replicating? Oh no. Looks like we have the world's first 3 dimensional worm! (Well, not counting the worms born naturally of course.) What sort of firewall will I need to block it?
Well, we could split hairs and argue semantics all day, but in the end both of us know who is going to get the nomination, and this discussion doesn't change that one bit.
Only if you are HRC or her supporters. The rest of us know that the real contest has been over for a while. The odds of enough super delegates jumping ship and going for Hillary is laughable at best. Most of them need to think about getting re-elected also.
It's all over but the bitter lady crying.... The rest is just window dressing. Pretty much what I have been saying since HRC failed to win big on super Tuesday.
Plus the bonus of being able to smoke, drink, and fool around during the movie. I mean, when was the last time you got a blowjob at the local megaplex? Oh wait, that's right, this is Slashdot. Forget it...
But seriously, when I was a kid there were at least a dozen drive-in theaters near where I lived. Now there are only two that I know of, and both are about a 30-40 minute drive out to the burbs.
"Yet if Hillary hangs on it just might be that Obama may suffer from a couple of foot in mouth disasters that could cause the delegates to give Hillary the nomination."
Umm, you do realize that this entire article is about Obama WINNING the nomination right? That means Hillary can't get the nomination, or in other words, SHE LOST. So unless she has some real Karl Rovian counting tricks up her sleeve, it is over for HRC.
And yes, many people don't think of Obama as black, because he isn't. He is half white and half black - and a whole to neither. So all you "Obama hates all white people" folks out there, do you honestly believe he hates his mother and half of himself?? And the "prejudice against women" crap was drummed up by Hillary's camp to guarantee her the female vote. Nothing to see here, move along. I was waiting to see when Hillary would launch her own "Swift Boat" campaign against Obama. Maybe she sold that spot to the Republicans for McCain to use against him later...
Actually, most of the "hot" buttons on keyboards can be configured to open any application when you push them. They go by their own configuration settings, not OS defaults.
They are called hyperlinks. You click on the underlined word, and it takes you to another location. If you already knew this, but chose instead to comment without visiting the other location, see the "whoosh" comment below yours.
Or it is simply a matter of numbers. Windows = 85%+ marketshare so therefore writing a package for Windows = millions and millions of potential more users than writing a package for Linux. It's a simple explanation, especially if you apply Heinlein's Razor.
If you want convenient software packages that are ready to go with absolutely no work on your end, I would suggest using Windows or OS X. If you know absolutely zero about programming, why chose a programmer's operating system? I mean really, this IS Slashdot where Open Source is the Greatest Thing Ever(TM) and can save the entire world from any ills...
"I would likely kill myself first if my thoughts ever turned to hurting good people."
You may want to start loading up that shotgun. You are advocating the torture of people who have committed zero acts that were illegal or immoral, but only thought about them.
And claiming everyone who doesn't go along with your fascist thought crime agenda doesn't mean that the rest of us rational sane folks are pro "kid-fucking" as you put it. I am no fan of child molesters either, but I can see the difference between someone who actually commits an act of molestation and someone who doesn't.
Yes, and the sooner we criminalize ideas, not actual acts, the better off we will all be! Why wait for the criminals to actually commit illegal acts before we can punish them? It's just absurd!
I for one welcome our precognitive oppressing overlords!!! ~
"It just doesn't reflect well on a person to use GMail for business, in my opinion, and would make me seriously question the credibility of the business."
Well, everybody has their own standards, but I generally tend to rate a business on how they conduct themselves, not so much who they use for their email. But maybe that's just me.

Ralph Nader.

99.9% is good enough for me. HRC and her supporters can cling to that .01% chance if they want, but I would suggest thinking about their next moves.

I'll eat my own tinfoil hat if it does. This contest has been over since HRC failed to win big on super tuesday.

That's why I covered the bottom of my plasma-mounted-over-the-fireplace with tinfoil. Tinfoil stops EVERY bad element from getting in anything.
I know. If the price of gas gets any more expensive, rappers are going to start drinking it!

That's why whenever I have an oral agreement, I put it in writing and have all parties sign it to make sure there are no misunderstandings!

They already have models available for well under $300. Features are kind of limited though (but the spell checker kicks ass!)
Bingo. Give that man a cigar. The simplest explanation is most often the correct one.

It was probably NoobixCube assaulting you. Now he has to kill himself because he tried to harm a "good person". Shame really.

You MUST be new here.
However, it does smell better.
"GMail equals unprofessional
I think you misspelled AOL....
