    The article does not cite throwing chairs. How is this Microsoft related?

  3. Re:National Science Tests on Only 22% of California 8th Graders Pass National Science Test · · Score: 1

    My high school gave nearly one million dollars a year to a football team that hadn't been to the playoffs in 33 years. Our computers were nearly a decade old when i graduated. Our wood/machine shop was well built, but that was because our shop teacher was amazing at scaring people into doing his will, while still being a really nice guy. Our theatre, art and music clubs were paid for by parents, because the school gave them nothing. Yea, i blame the Administration.

    0$ for a free xbox 360 is the choice i took. I love trading my old junk for other old junk..

    2x4's properly spaced work great. Use 2 inch wood screws and your set. Heavy screws, not drywall screws. This is how all my studio gear is mounted, including a 4U computer, and quite a few heavy amps.

    There should be no jobs for anyone writing DRM. Only pain.

    It does not cost microsoft one penny to enable a feature that is already there. It is simply greed.

    Not a business. Home user. Paid 250$ for a Dual Quad Core Xeon system that is a retired server. It's quite a monster. And i have 10 legit win7 home premium licenses, why should i have to pay more?

  19. Re:Just turn off the car? on Mandatory Brake-Override Proposed For All Cars · · Score: 1

    Airbags deploy with an independent power system that lasts nearly 30 seconds, its the law. also, THE BRAKES STILL WORK. Why does no one understand how cars work? Reading this thread is disturbing, knowning that i am on a road with all these people.

  20. Re:Just turn off the car? on Mandatory Brake-Override Proposed For All Cars · · Score: 1

    Just to clarify, they are called Power Assist Brakes, so, the vacuum only helps. Full braking power is still there. ABS Increase your stopping distance, and millions of cars in America don't have it. Not really a big deal. Still stops fine. Steering lock isn't an issue in the accessory position, and most cars don't lock until the key is removed. You should know how your car will behave before you are allowed to drive it. I totally agree with you otherwise.
