I'm not even capable of being a low-level dev at Microsoft, but if you want answers, you need to edit (yes, repost...) that post for readability. Particularly, who is saying what. I could read it, but not figure out which 'source' you were referring to or if it was your own questions being asked.
That said, I'd be interested in seeing answers (rather than responses like my own) to these questions. They, if true, are baffling.
What I want to know is how do encrypted mail users get the receivers to use encrypted mail? I have enough trouble getting people to set up email let alone setup, store and backup keys to 'crypt mail... particularly when I am the only one telling them they need to 'crypt data?
Unfortunately they (the populace) will never wake up! Why? because Microsoft's products conveniently there, ubiquitous, and the problems are never completely make or break. Yes, Microsoft is so incompetent, they can't get their problems to be effective. (Before I get a troll or flame-bait mod, the previous sentence is tongue in cheek.) I don't personally like Microsoft's products because they are always almost good enough (occasionally making it!) but never quite bad enough to get rid of.
It is like the cheap drill bits one can buy anywhere. They do the job, but tend to break just as you really need it. So to get around the problem you buy the cheapest drill bit you can find on a Sunday afternoon in a sleepy town. The 2nd or 3rd bit sees you through the job and you put the tools away thinking "I'll have to get a better bit for next time I use it..." Cycle continues. Of course cheapest in the computing sense isn't money, but time. It would take massive amounts of time to change everything to a new way of thinking.*
* I know that it isn't nearly as hard as what is made out. However, (God, another analogy? BadAnalogyGuy, can I get a job with you?) like starting a job that requires loads of setup/organisation before hand it seems too large. Break it down into small parts and often the job takes less time than you expected.
We should release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere! It is a greenhouse gas so it will help us make the earth one big greenhouse! Then everyone will have lots of fresh water! Damn, I need more exclamation points to qualify...
You are right that the government is attempting to 'fix' the problems that the government created. The problem in Australia is cronyism, politically and economically. Unfortunately, the government that privatised Telstra, with the rallying cry "Free Trade Market", also sold the company to the (mostly) same people that paid for its inception and subsidies.
I can understand that Telstra had been disassociated from a government department for quite a few years before privatisation. That led to Telstra being more than its physical assets. However, the government never attributed the grants that had been given to Telstra to create the networks prior to privatisation, which in turn led to Telstra 'owning' networks whose creation had been funded by the Australian taxpayers.
So, taxpayers have paid for the networks to be created and maintained, paid for the company to be privatised, and are now going to pay for a new 'national' network to be recreated. While I have problems with government no matter which party is in power, at least in telecommunications the current government are almost recognising that Telstra should not have the infrastructure it has without paying back the taxpayers.
Now, if we ignore the previous government's grasp on morals and fairness, they had a better grasp of the problems of internet censorship... *sob* What have I come to?
Okay, but how long can it maintain that acceleration for? That is the main benefit (presumably) of nuclear devices, the ability to do the same work with less restocking of fuel reserves.
The main problem with chemical rockets is the rate at which they run through the fuel reservoir. A nuclear engine of similar weight (including safety systems and layers) doesn't need to give us more Gs, just output the very comfortable 1G for a longer period. If it can do the acceleration for longer with less total mass, even better. I personally being plastered helplessly against objects whatever the cause.
Considering we want to go through vast empty places with few reasons to maneuver as quickly as possible. The main reason to maneuver in space is: "There's a bloody big object in my path." Hopefully with the advances in sensors we will be able to detect object soon enough to plan a useful avoidance mechanism.
Not everytime. I'm not sure what the circumstances are that cause it, but on some machines it has selected it as you say, others it has been the same problem as in the Ubuntu resolution bug.
It's about the marketshare if you ignore the ratios. Macs are supposed to have... 5% marketshare? They and the other OS have a much lower ratio of malware per install. Yes, Windows locked down should be just as secure as any other OS... but it is too easy to change its security for convenience sake --- at least up till XP. I haven't administered a network (or even a machine) of Windows Vista and above, so they may be much better for all I know.
People disagree with you and it's because MS "inflitrated" Slashdot? LOL...have you seen the number of FOSS advocates on this site? Tons of 'em. That said, there are a good number of us who don't know any better, and most of us are not on Microsoft's payroll (I say most because I'm sure that there are some people in Redmond who visit Slashdot.).

Don't be a moron just because you think everyone here thinks like you.
Um... was it just me, or was he not complaining that those whom have similar thoughts have been drowned out? That there aren't enough people that think like him?
So you wouldn't attempt to predict the most of the arguments against your thesis and write defenses against those arguments? I've never written a thesis but that is what I'd do.
I probably do live in a different world; I'm in the sticks in Australia.
I have to go to a town over 40 minutes away for a service. (It's normal in Australia) I've often taken my laptop with me and while waiting for the mechanic (after finishing other tasks) I'd go to the movies. I've seen others also taking a laptop sized bag into the movies.
In the context, it wasn't the customer who has instigated the Animal House atmosphere.
You are right that we civilised persons do appreciate reasonable rules, but if you are as reasonable as you sound you could be, would you refuse someone keeping their laptop with them? As you pointed out elsewhere it would be easy to see those that are abusing the system. Why prevent sales from the larger majority that don't have anywhere to store their laptop for the few that would actually believe they can get away with it?

This has to be sarcasm... *tap* *tap* *tap* nothing showing on the dial. Maybe I need an update.

C# is one of the most significant IT developments this decade? I'm flabbergasted. I don't know which product to pick up and throw at you.

This says way more about you than it does about the comic.
Well... Then we'll stack it up on the continents!

Oh come on. The circumstance you refer to as a victim is the very example you are looking for. Wake up buddy. Your dream is giving me nightmares!

Zunes are binging and squirting? eep.
Why do you need to reboot?
So it isn't a filesystem it is a storagesystem?

I'm getting LightPeak connections installed next year.

Actually pp is shaping up to be both... with the troll bit being an accident.
Thanks for that.
Why? Doesn't Kmeleon work well on newer machines? No extensions?
Sorry buddy, I could have sworn I attached my other post to the GP.
