You have a serious point to make here - What is the point of effort to create a program if the life of the OS is too short? The application you made may very quite well become useless or so buggy, that no one wants to use the once useful program? Or is may be so bothersome to make it work with the new version that it does not free your time up for anything else, or improve features on your program.
Tell me who is going to pay for the maintenance of air leaks. Who is going to pay for the drainage of water that will seep in? Who is going to maintain condensation that forms when pressure is reduced. And there might be icing problems as well with this plan.
Productivity tool? I personally would not put anything more than games and basic communication on an object I carry out in public. You forget it somewhere and poof! all your productivity or any personal stuff is gone. But that's just me.
And since they get floods every now and then, maybe they could grow a few brain cells while their at it, and build some man-made lake basins. And channel the flood water there. California and Texas is just as dumb. So don't think I'm just picking on Australia.
So Trump is going to be handing out the highest paying jobs first. What will the H-1B jobs will pay? If it turns out the the highest jobs turn out to be the cheaper paying jobs to the H-1B people, then the American workers just lost the best jobs in America. Is this what is meant by creating jobs for Americans??
Sorry I was not clear In my first sentence, I did not make clear that Munich does not like Windows... What I said about Windows is only for me, I like windows for some things. That is why I used the letter "I" instead of Munich.. I mistakenly assumed you would have attached my first sentence to the title of Munich rejecting Windows in the title that they posted.
The USG admits it's not high level. But to me it's a start. And a start is better than having nothing. (I wonder if if protects against bad memory sticks that fry your computer??)
Well thank God Munich woke up! Believe it or not, I still like Windows. They do support certain applications that I can't get on Linux. (Its possible that I am simply not good enough yet to get them to work since I'm new at it.) But one thing Windows has to realize.. I - am - the - customer. Not the other way around!! I'm not your slave, and there are other operating systems around. Windows, you are replaceable! If I were you, I'd go back to giving the customer choices, flexibility, and privacy.
They can make Hemp. Just like we did in WW1. Those were the days we had brains. Since Hemp can make everything from a practically unbreakable car body (Henry Ford on youtube) To a house, to clothing, fuel for electrical coal generators, paper, to hundreds of thousand other good. things. Since were dumb enough not to grow it anymore, let them have the money! It requires little water and no pesticides.
Sorry but I do. A MAC address is like the address on your house. The postman knows where and who you are to deliver the mail. And what about GPS? If you can change you address if would be great for crooks, and to blame the unlucky person who happens to own that false MAC. I personally don't see any advantage or good purpose to it. TCP/IP can only get you to the general area these days - Wi Fi break ins, and mobile gear took care of that.
Since they are so eager to add AI to something, let them do it by bringing back trolley cars. They were fantastic in Chicago until less than 100 year ago. My mom said they were great! With AI on board there can be 2 guards keeping watch on the passengers, so nothing evil happens. They travel on tracks so even if some idiot takes over the trolley, remotely, steering is off the list and the guards can have a special code and/or/with a physical key that can bring the trolley to a halt. Maybe a mechanical brake that overrides any command you can give it?
About a decade ago I was taught Computer systems in College that the MAC address assures you that, It is a unique address that is hard coded on the NIC, and that Ethernet card only owns, and nobody else has hat number.. The mac authorized number is stored in the IEEE Registration Authority. (Yes I know it can be spoofed, but it is hard not to bump into an identical mac number.) This is the persons device, they own it, assuring you that you are talking to is their personal device.. Where they reside and where they are going.. Now I'm being told that a mac address has all the meaning of a Lotto card. This opens a door wide open for all kinds of huge abuse, like a free-for-all has just started.

I fear you are right. Most people with huge sums of money are not empathetic towards the lesser. One exceptional example is Elon Musk. But this world doesn't have an abundant amount of rich people with heart, and humanitarianism like Elon Musk. Just think of the thought of freeing up society to make great things greater, improving things to even a higher degree, make new things that were never ever seen before for people to enjoy, create wonderful breathtaking artwork, improving man and planet to a whole new level, etc.
Anonymous, keep your Windows 10 computer. Try Ubuntu on one of your old computers and see if you like it. They have 32 and 64 bit ISO versions on the Web. If you have money, get the book 'Ubuntu Unleashed' (It comes with a Ubuntu DVD). Read it as you install and play with Ubuntu The book has tons of help in it to get you started. Ubuntu and that book seem to be the friendliest versions. And I should know, because I started from scratch with them, knowing nothing. I tried Debian first but it was too ruff for me. Make no mistake about it. Linux will be a lot of grunt work to learn how to make things work and where they are. Sometimes to make things work, you will have updates that are interdependent on updates and it seems to go on forever. (Example: But I finally reached the end and got my Dos games running again!) And some programs and applications, and games simply won't work on them - even with the help of WINE. www.gog.com will help you with old games if GOG has it. And regarding other applications you may be forced to find equivalent substitutes. Example: LibreOffice - the equvalent of Microsoft Office.. If you are interested in doing so. Otherwise stick with Windows.
If you have Windows 10, I've got a question for you. Can you disconnect Windows 10 from the web. Then create or grab the file you need. Transfer the file to your external disk, memory stick or SD (Or whatever). Delete the file on the computer, then re-connect Windows 10 -- If you do this, will the information still go to the cloud?

Have 2 computers. One for browsing and email. and one to keep important data on that is not connected to the web.
Stop them exerting unfair advantage? You don't. You didn't. You never have. You.. may never will.
Will the greedy then find loopholes for the robots?
You have your stuff.. for now.
And technology is getting to the point of this actually coming true! Once they perfect the battery's weight and amp hours it's all over..
Productivity tool? I personally would not put anything more than games and basic communication on an object I carry out in public. You forget it somewhere and poof! all your productivity or any personal stuff is gone. But that's just me.
So are the meters listening in OK? Check check! One, two..

Time will tell. I'm not afraid, its not My field! It's a whole new ball game. Time will tell!!

Mmm!.. human omelets tastes good!
That's sad. They had a good thing and they ruined it. :(

Will we be doing extra work clicking the "x's" on commercials that pop up?
