Take a Linux CD ISO and extract it to a FAT32 USB drive (7-zip can do that). Delete isolinux.bin and rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. Then grab syslinux.exe and run "syslinux.exe -mifa [drive]:"

You can still use the drive for storage.

There are also many tutorials out there for installing Windows 7 from a thumbdrive.

Yes. In fact, giving free software implies that you think they don't know how to use computers, and that you're a cheapo to boot. People like to load what software they please on their computers, regardless if they had to pay for it or not, what's important to them is that they chose to do it. Big computer companies and lots of geeks just never get that.

That solution has always befuddled me. Why bother physically securing hardwired, functioning USB ports when you can

1. Remove the USB ports or
2. Disable the USB ports in Group Policy.

The simplest way to prevent burglars from coming in your windows is to not have windows. Though you may like your windows, USB ports are not a necessity.

That's basically it. They also knew this would hit the tech news sites, for that free advertising.

Look at all the people above you who were fooled. It's interesting how the ignorance of a seemingly intelligent discussion can be illuminated in an instant.

Though the glass displays I've seen in museums are always, as far I've seen, annoyingly reflective. I thought they were kept that way on purpose to thwart photography.

This is news reporting cherry picking at its best. If everything in the news were true, the world would end next year, and the year after that we'd all have flying cars.

A strong math foundation laid in high school and earlier will be fundamental to their success in computer science later. The function of a computer really is to mathematically transform data sets from one format to another. Especially in games, where trigonometry is foundation of physics, no matter how basic. See Xbox Live's Trueskill formula if you don't believe me.

Apple doesn't need to invent or be first in anything to reap the benefits, as long as most sheeple believe that they invented or were first to introduce so-and-so technology.

That's the name you were looking for for this concept. People unaware of this law shouldn't be designing UIs.

Isn't it kinda odd that a game that so prominently features a teamwork between a squad of 4 didn't have any kind of co-op for so long?

"Didn't you get the memo?"

If they really got this, I doubt they're that dumb. Part of being a competitor is in price. Every business wants to succeed, right?

I was just waiting to be proven right.

By increasing the price of Apple products.

If Bill Gates did a fist pump today.
