I'm trying to work out the humour in pp. I'm prepared for a whoosh if someone can explain this too me. Is it really possible that people this dumb can work a computer well enough to post?
Heh... My mother had an opposite problem. She had a teaching method that was demonstrably better than 'modern' teaching methods but was effectively told she 'couldn't do that' from the upper faculty.
She had returned to work after motherhood and was given the worst class available (primary, but they can get pretty rough). All the 'non learners' and learning difficulty children. They were all being shuffled towards special needs funding. Within a month of working with the children, her peers were coming around to discover why she wasn't collapsing in frustration and why little jimmy was behaving better and able to do his letters. Surprise sunrise, she was expecting the students to actually work!
To use your solution, people need an option. As I understand it, USA does have an option, that is, not to vote. The only problem is that when so little of the population turns out, it is taken as an endorsement of what they have been offered, not a slur on the incompetence of the candidates.
The fact that you can't use/install a device in a particular location increases the likelihood you are not supposed to. If you are, it should be setup from the get-go or you have the authority to change it... of course I agree that is the hard part. Libraries et al that you mention are just the places I'd expect you to not be able to use your 'universal' device. My reasoning is security -- something FAT isn't known for.
This drops us back to the situation that I spoke of. You did bring up 98, and it is very inconvenient. Strangely enough the reason for changing both 98 and FAT is the same; they can't cope with the volumes that users require. Prior to USB, we used floppies remember? The difference is the floppies hadn't out grown their size limits; user requirements had. UFDs and other devices have outgrown both and are able to accommodate both separate partitions and the new filesystem driver.
If the majority of manufactures coordinated and agreed on the spec, driver and partition location, we could see the death of most FAT devices in a few years. IMO a marketable portion could be reached in months after the first batch of devices! And the tower of Babel would be avoided if Manufacturers did the coordination.
Also, Microsoft isn't the only one updating software out there. Java and Flash are two systems that could potentially be piggybacked into providing a system driver (with the normal opt out options presented to users). Adobe would be harder to convince though. It would be in Sun's interest. (Have I just argued for ZFS? I was hoping for UDF).
I agree that currently there isn't a way to avoid the toll bridge... easily. I agree with most of your points. I just don't agree that we should just give up and that is the attitude I'm surmising from your posts. That said, I'd say you might have a better idea than I do of the difficulties.

so what you are saying is linux et al need one project to coordinate all projects. A bazaar coordinator... hmmm..
If you are in a locked down situation, and you need a particular device installed; your tech should install the drivers required to get the device to work. Status quo. This has to happen anyway, except that lock down situations usb storage is on by default and needs to be turned off. I had an insight into a moderate sized organisation that did turn off usb use except by authorised personnel.
However, if, as a large portion of home/smb users are, you are not in a locked down situation you install the drivers by blindly installing the disk the manufacturer gave you to hope that the device works.
Because as with other crimes it often isn't the motive of perpetrator but rather the effect upon the victim. Motives are just convenient to persuading juries that the crime actually did occur. I'd love to see a study done to determine whether the many actions humans perform necessarily have a registrable motive. I suspect many actions don't. Certainly many actions aren't premeditated as such.
What's worse about this particular law is that, as children, my friends and I often drew (admittedly poor) renditions of girls in class whom we liked sans clothes. This is pretty normal for heterosexual boys growing up, and such a law would very definitely have hurt me during those times.
A few years ago, I was shown a (~23) mate's school books that had exactly this in it. Sounds like UK won't be able to hold onto memorabilia
Is society really that destitute that the collective subjects incapable of remember/imagine a colloquial or synonym for words above and beyond 4 characters? Abysmal. Whats a 7 letter synonym for 'of'?
Ha Ha hehe I go a msg to this effect the other day, but I had no idea about what they are talking about. I'm not a Outlook user as I move around a fair bit and haven't been given a laptop. I just thought they were tossers.
No, it should read back to you what you have written. I'm working at setting up my computer to do just that for everything according to XKCD's specifications.
Yes, so the solution is to keep peddling the environment that makes this easy? I'm bewildered by what people put themselves through to be able to run excel macros.
+ 1, we must really remember that women are completely innocent of excess. Only men are so destitute as to do this sort of activity for bad reasons. Because women did this to a girl, it is completely okay.
Of course, there are exceptions like old women mutilating pre-adolescent girls genitals in other cultures for reason x, but that can be safely ignored.

Your post is based on the assumption that people won't show up to work more than 10 minutes early.

If the women you hang out with don't meet gp's definition, then by definition you aren't hanging out with women...

Read it again buddy. We don't read parent posts. It is obvious that mweather was talking about Windows not linux ... idiot.
Nice play...
Mod the man up.
Damn, I just realised I had mod points.

caveat... rarely actually happens, but that is how products are sold.
I think that you made a very good point unintentionally.

Now, I don't get this.
If you are in a locked down situation, and you need a particular device installed; your tech should install the drivers required to get the device to work. Status quo.

Okay, Okay! how can I help you achieve your goals?
This has to be the most comprehensive spamming I've seen on this site for a while.
