Legitimate AV software that will scan for free will also fix for free. You never see it scan but refuse to fix until you pay up unless it is a scam, AFAIK.

My Windows XP has known bugs which Microsoft refuses to fix. Instead, they are asking me to upgrade to Windows 8. Scam!

Comment I call BS on this study (Score 1) 176

One walk through Williamsburgh and you will immediately see all the hipsters sporting beards (everything from stubble to full-on woodsman), retro 1960s style thick-framed glasses, and skinny jeans. Only an idiot would not notice they have been looking like everybody else for years. Hipster just want to look like the rest of their fringe group, while at the same time hoping nobody else catches on to their trend. It has nothing to do with this stupid cognitive delay mentioned by the article. People will begin to shift away from the hipster look when they're tired of it, not when they realize everybody else looks that way.

I am from China. Assange is from Australia. Those of us who are not from the United States of America tend to have an advantage over those who were born and raised inside America because we were not indoctrinated with the Pledge of Allegiance throughout our childhood (into the teen years) but the Americans do

You may not have been indoctrinated with the Pledge of Allegiance, but you certainly have been indoctrinated with the false idea that we Americans have been. I was born and raised in America and was never once in a room where the Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

And the brain size seems inversely proportional to the number of guns. At least it seems that way viewing from a safe distance (Australia).

That ratio is usually more closely related to an organ located a bit closer to the middle of the body. (The same organ whose size is inversely proportional to the size of one's SUV or to the speed and price of one's sports car.)

Hahahaha. Seems to me the news has been full of stories for many years about how things like military software contracts have CONSTANTLY been full of abuses, bugs, and cost overruns. I've been reading about them in the news since I was a child.

Projects that are delivered on time and under budget don't make the news.
