That's a flat-out idiotic comment.

The company was highly successful at the time, went public, and years later failed after the IBM/DOS combination came to dominate. Yet because the company was founded by two "housewives", you deny its success and importance.

Bird shot doesn't come down with enough velocity to be a hazard. But of course, it has extremely limited range for the same reason.

Speaking of making people snort something out through their noses...

So, why exactly is it that you're cursed with having to struggle with software written by WASPs? Or, since you seem to have some difficulty with reading, let me be more explicit: why is there not a successful Indian software industry producing software to perfectly fit your needs???

After all, it's not like Indian companies are outsourcing to American developers in order to save money...

Not true at all. OS X 10.10.3, Safari 8.0.6, Flash plugin removed about a year ago. ESPN, Bleacher Report, CNN, MSNBC, all work fine. Facebook, no videos in my timeline--don't know if that's because it's not showing them to me because of lack of Flash, or just a matter of the people I follow. Hulu, alone among all the sites, informs me that I need the Flash plugin.

So maybe the problem is you were using a web browser that did not have adequate support for HTML5 video.

There is a difference between "Anti-GMO labeling law" and "Anti-GMO-labeling law"!!! Guess which one you meant? Stop making your readers guess what you're trying to say!

Yes. But stay away from the Cisco/Linksys small business routers.

Yes, it was there. But it was a complete disaster, and did not work "fine" for any reasonable understanding of that word.

Bullshit. More like: Adobe up to that point had been unable to deliver a usable mobile Flash, and in fact, years later, still had not, and in fact, years later completely abandoned the development effort.

Care to guess what most of them do when your user agent does not report Flash as a supported format? (As does every single iPhone and iPad in existence...)

It works this way only if when you set up the encryption, you explicitly accept the option to generate a recovery key, and the option to store it with Apple.

That argument does not hold, because Flash has been proven over time to be uniquely bad, and Adobe uniquely unable to fix it.

Remarkable the extent to which economists agree with you and to which politicians disagree. Gee, I wonder who's right?

Most notably, in the last bailout plan, the IMF called for growth in the Greek GDP to top 4% within a few years, and that's what would allow them to pay back the debt. So, in a very short time, while constrained by harsh austerity measures and with no ability to use govt funds to stimulate any job growth, Greece was supposed to leap from the bottom of the EU to the top in terms of growth. Yeah, right, pure fantasy--devised to soothe the lenders that somehow, some way, their investments in Greek loans are not a lost cause and that they will soon profit from them, if only Greece will get its act together and mumble mumble mumble something.

The underpants gnomes had a better business plan ;-)

Remember this movie? The same kind of crock of shit. I actually had friends who were shocked that I refused to watch it; apparently I was close-minded for deciding beforehand (based on reviews) that it was worthless. Just as you and I are close-minded for refusing to consider the possibility that the author of that tripe you quoted might be on to something real ;-)

You measure the residual quantum vibrations left behind in A, duh ;-)
