Third: I worked nuclear power for 10 years (ops/maint), coal for the last 5 years(maint), and and converting the plant to biomass from waste wood currently. As the TED talk suggests, the right answer is to build nuclear now to replace the aging plants that we currently have while we figure out how to fit the renewable sources in.
because now you have to go back to a full screen menu every time you want to start another application.
And this is why you should not believe what you read and actually go and try it yourself. That's wrong, and so is the rest of what you wrote.
You can still pin applications to the task bar and create shortcuts on your desktop if you so choose. Because of the way the taskbar handles multiple instances, you don't get the 20 window stack clutter like you had in XP. Once I go to the 'desktop' mode, I don't have to go back to the ModernUI as I already have everything pinned. Even when I do go back to the ModernUI to launch a program, it's the same as it was in Win7 - windows key and start typing the name then press enter or click it.
There was a TED talk filmed in February that discusses what they are doing, who is doing it, and why. He does briefly mention what you're talking about. In short: Nature doesn't do things exactly the same way every time either, so don't worry about it.*
* I'm summing up quite a bit. Just watch the video (~20 mins).
I didn't preorder or put myself on any waiting list to get mine. I saw a post on Slickdeals when Newark received a shipment and they were offering free shipping at the time. I didn't even find the post until about a day after the thread started either.
Get a set of in ear plugs and then put a set of over the head muffs on.
Alternately, combine the white noise with ear buds and over the head muffs. You'll find you can lower the volume considerably to make it more relaxing.
NT (Good) -> 2000 (Good) -> XP (Good) -> Vista (Sucks) -> Win7 (Good) -> Win8 (Sucks).
Sucks is a pretty relative term. On this very machine I've had Vista, Win7, and now Win 8 with various Linux distros spiced in. All were solid. During their time periods, they all served their purpose well.
I do. I normally search through Bing. The default behavior of Pale Moon (and Firefox in general last I checked) is to use Google when typing directly in the address bar. So it's easy for me to switch to a Google search when I feel like it. If Bing could use the inurl: or filetype: switches, I'd probably never use Google.
The first step in statistics is to understand what the data you have represents.
The hardware survey represents all hardware samples, month by month. Now take into account the fact that those samples include dual and triple booting systems, which is a difficult number to derive from the data provided by Steam.
My experience from reading the Steam forums as a beta tester suggests to me that a large portion of the Linux test base were multi-booting. My feeling from reading the support threads is that many of these people will not be using Linux as their primary OS.
In other words, if I use the same extrapolation method as the original author: It's 2 degrees colder this morning than last morning. In just 1 more month, this area will no longer support any life.
If it is out of warranty, then of course you're the one at fault. Since it's out of warranty, it's on you to see what the firmware does and make the decision on whether or not to flash. Either way it's all on you to deal with the consequences.
You nearly always have the option of purchasing extended warranties for "critical" equipment. If it is really that critical, why didn't you replace it at the end of its warranty period?

The problem is largely PEBKAC.

My manager, his boss, and at least 3 of the operations department plus myself.
Well, that wasn't hard.
You can find a copy of the 2012 Valve employee handbook floating around the net.
Yes, they have no bosses. Everyone is peer-review rated.
As the Valve handbook states: Of all the people who are not your boss, Gabe Newell is the most not your boss....if you catch their meaning there.
So, the layoffs likely came straight from the horses mouth and probably on the recommendation of all of their peers.
Here's one link that should lead you to the handbook. It's a fascinating read.

That's about as narrow a world view as I'd expect from i_have_mental_health_issues email address.
Unfortunately, that's pretty representative of about half of the population at large (based on my own observations).
Please leave the war and the killing to the big boys and go back to watching "reality TV", please.
Huh?
I'm just going to sit here and scratch my head while I dual boot 8 and (currently) Mint.
If you're worried about Linux support, you should just build it for Linux and be done with it.
The first step in statistics is to understand what the data you have represents.
The hardware survey represents all hardware samples, month by month. Now take into account the fact that those samples include dual and triple booting systems, which is a difficult number to derive from the data provided by Steam.

It takes a good game developer to make a micro transaction model work for a single particular game.
It takes an EA exec to force that model upon every game a publisher makes.
Secure boot can be disabled. Nobody is taking your ability to install another OS away. There is no need to worry.
It might be that you've had a little too much mercury in your hat brims Mr. Hatter.
This is very true. I hate it when friends purchase those inexpensive multi packs during Steam sales and then gift them to me.
Those monsters.
customer: I can't find the link to order your product
customer service: You need to navigate down the hall to the left.
customer: I've already been down there.
CS: Which floor are you on?
C: I think I'm on floor 5.
CS: Oh sorry, in that case I need you to go to the stairway, the elevators are down right now.
C: I can't do that, I didn't purchase the fully functional avatar.
CS: That's all right sir, we can upgrade you right now for $5.99.
I was about to suggest something similar. Many people would benefit from a body weight only exercise (or weights if you can have them where you work).
There are a myriad of exercises that you could knock out in under a minute.

My son's Pre-K and K classes that he does at home require flash *and* Java. I don't expect that they will rewrite any of their websites any time soon.

I second this. You don't have to use metro if you don't want to use it. The classic desktop is just as it was in 7.
Very first tile in illustration: rip out engine, install batteries and electric motor.

The winner will be decided by which one will allow "install another OS". We can trust that this time, Sony would mean it.
