I'll do all my gaming on my PC. I listen to music on my PC. I watch TV and movies on my PC. My friends do the same. I'm 19. The PC isn't dead in anyone's eyes but those of marketers who want to sell to cheap to build tablets for the price of a fully functional PC.
Which drug are you referring to here? The SSRIs, which increase feelings of well being and lower inhibitions, without impacting cognition? The benzodiazepines, which are short acting and are a mild sedative without long term effects? Those are the most commonly prescribed psychoactive drugs, and comparing them to lobotomies is like comparing a piece of apple pie to a chunk of rat poison.
If you're thinking of anti-psychotics, those are quite over prescribed, but you'd be overdramatazing the point in a Godwin-like manner.
At first, I hated Windows 8 because of the "fuck desktops, you're gonna use a tablet!" interface. Now I hate it for a much bigger reason.
Metro Apps, which Microsoft refers to as "modern" and intends to replace desktop apps, are only available through Microsoft's walled Windows Store. This could put an end to, and Microsoft intends it to put an end to, both free and Free software. It's an anti-consumer powergrab.
Um, no. Unless you're question is privileged(asking for confidential information about their clients "Did Joe Smith tell you if he robbed the bank?"), they aren't prohibited from answering it. Also, there is no "the Bar", each state has it's own bar association, and it does not necessarily certify lawyers. In some states this is done by the supreme court.
Preventing who can't vote(felons, non-citizens, young people under 18) from assisting campaigns is not only a terrible idea, but blatantly unconstitutional. It would be struck down at the drop of a hat.
1. Games on a Lenovo?! Lenovo is Chinese for 'shitty laptop company' Their computers are for business, not gaming. 2. Norton? Norton's a scam. Just use Microsoft Security Essentials. Even if you get a virus, who cares? Worst case, reformat, start over.
When some says "cyber", it means they are confused and frightened about technology, and should not, under any circumstances, be taken seriously on the subject.
There is an interesting misconception that all psychotropic drugs have sedative effects or make the user more submissive. That's not true. Antipsychotics are sedating, the older typical antipsychotics more so than the newer ones. However, stimulants are the opposite of sedatives. Antidepressants aren't sedatives. Most psychotropic drugs aren't sedatives.
I think the major problem here is the inflated role of academic performance. Our society drains the individual of value and reduces him to pieces of paper. What we need is to change society, such that people are judged on their individual merits and not on academic performance.
Reform the educational system, provide alternate routes to good employment. Shutdown the school-prison pipeline.
They should fire the 'geniuses' who came up with Bulldozer. It was so far behind the i7s, what did they expect?
I strongly object to everyone saying AMD should just make ARM processors. As a desktop users who is an avid flight simmer and graphic artist, I value the high performance desktop PC. Although most of the computer industry has decided to follow the lead of Apple and develop dumbed-down, week, simplistic products, shafting power users like me, they are wrong and the future is not well served by regression in technology
I'm 18, so I'm not cliinging to the past. I simply object to the dumbing down of anything

If this is true, I'll buy Windows 8. Also, if MS PR reads the comments, I'm 19, and I like having a PC.

You sound like a helicopter parent. You should back off your kid, and LAND.
I agree.

Do you know what polemic means?
To quite a dramatic conclusion.
Um, no. Unless you're question is privileged(asking for confidential information about their clients "Did Joe Smith tell you if he robbed the bank?"), they aren't prohibited from answering it. Also, there is no "the Bar", each state has it's own bar association, and it does not necessarily certify lawyers. In some states this is done by the supreme court.
So, not true.
This. Lawyers are the ones who interact with judges, and who understand these issues, Ask a lawyer or look on a bar associations website.

Why the fuck was this modded troll? It's an honest opinion, and I truly suspect that MS has modpoints.
Thank you!
Wow, did MS get sold a bunch of mod points?
It's schadenfreude....if it makes Windows 8 harder to sell, then MS makes less money on it and might not force this bullshit on us all.
Who cares about bloat? Win 8 is a scheme against open computing, against consumer choice. It has a goddamn app store, for fucks sake.
I'm in favor of anything that harms Windows 8.
Miranda has nothing to do with this, it guarantees the rights of the defendant/accused, not the victim, and that's how it should be.
And @ the "censor everything!" "use a limited account" people, no reason to do that. It's your kids computer, let him use it.
A couple problems with what you're doing:
1. Games on a Lenovo?! Lenovo is Chinese for 'shitty laptop company' Their computers are for business, not gaming.
2. Norton? Norton's a scam. Just use Microsoft Security Essentials. Even if you get a virus, who cares? Worst case, reformat, start over.
It's not so complicated.
