Okay, I have no faith in IP as an ideology... it is just to twisted to be practical. As for our education system, I think the problem in the Western cultures is that they do cater and clamour after the corporations versions of facts. We would do well to simply walk in the opposite direction to their 'advice'. Heck the credit crunch may not have happened if we had be a savings based economy rather than a spending based economy.
irrelevant... Microsoft believes it's latest version of Windows is worth AUD$299 retail... I and many other beg to differ. Problem is certain issues virtually (please note I said virtually) force the majority of end users to pay for what they can't see the value in. I am not running Vista or Windows. **anecdote** I know a significant portion of Vista users (known to me) did not want it but could not find alternatives reasonably. (Macs too expensive and in their mind the only alternative.)
heh, my problems have been that dolphin crashes constantly AND my bug reports are NEVER excepted... that said, I've been trying Fedora 10 with KDE and it seems a lot more stable than Kubuntu 8.10 so I haven't had to fight to report a bug.
Okay Mr FBI man I am not threatening Mr President as I am Australian... No I did not vote for John Howard! Where are you taking me? You can't do this! I'm an Australian Citizen....
As far as I can tell (No access to the actual process behind the scene), it is exorbitantly more expensive than the cost to the provider... almost like sms, movie and music media actually. The only reason obvious to me that the price is as high as it is, is pigheaded kingdom building.
Teachers in Qld Australia love moving the class around... obsessed with it actually. Their next love is extending the power system by piggy backing power boards...
Yeah, I read it as "Windows has been trying to get the document ui thing for many years and is only now getting it right... Apple has been doing this for many years and I don't like the way it works cause... cause... I have applications damn it!"
I am a Linux fanboi, not a Apple one!! What is the world coming to...
The subsequent versions are faster despite adding 'bloat'? What do the subsequent versions not do that the former versions could? Even with a fairly liberal definition of bloat I can only see that what Apple has done is impressive. After "everyone" recognises that they are underpowered compared to a equivalent priced windows machine... don't they?
I would have missed it because I have only seen it from a distance. When I did have a machine with 2007 on, I accidentally put the cursor over the top of it. I reckon that people have gotten used to Windows having useless obnoxious icons that many people just ignore them now. Hell, people did it with the big obnoxious 'Start' button!... I think my most common reply to tech questions is "Well, what does the screen say?"

Your logic only works if 'Karen' actually exists... If she is fictional then the anecdote doesn't qualify as evidence.

More than MS should expect it from the Western 'cultures'. Have you seen the state of our education systems lately?
I still don't see how the children are involved...
We'll just bit-torrent the grid!
Y'd think that it would default to the most likely options then have a test option for when the OS fails to boot.

Forth is dying, Netcraft confirms it.
Thus Microsoft has the perfect way to EOF XP... Support UDF, Microsoft! It will force people to upgrade! s/force/encourage

we are truly screwed if FBI is knocking on British doors

But the curses are piling up...
Because the other option was too horrible to truly contemplate?
Yes but look at the time difference between our posts!
second, second most used input device. To prove a point I highlighted and copied every word in this reply.
I think the problem is we all read binary.

Just demonstrating the motives of the gp... Hint it is the first damn line! I've emphasised the important bits...
Strange, I just tick the remove option. Reboot? why?
