How is it a violation of TrueCrypt's license when TrueCrypt's license specifically ALLOWS for this?

For the idiots who can't even read the story: TrueCrypt's license allows for taking all the code and reusing it, with only requirement being using a different name.

"Okay"

PC sales crash again.

P.S. 7 is supported until 2020.

Is that the new shill angle? Because I suggest you folks rethink your strategy if it is, since it looks even less like 7 with that ridiculous flat look.

Microsoft tried it already with 8. REALLY really tried it with 8, removing 7 from everywhere it only could.

It was a disaster. PC sales crashed. As we discovered, forcing 8 on people did result in marginal increase of sales of 8, and a massive reduction of sales in PCs.

Finally someone important at microsoft realised that in winning the battle of 8's adoption over 7, they were losing the war of keeping PCs being the primary customer computing platform, and 7 was quickly pushed back into OEM chain. I think that this particular lesson was painful enough for microsoft not to even think of trying it again for at least a few years.

Yet another year of windows 7 on the desktop to be precise.

I'm Finnish. Both us and Swedes have alcohol monopoly, and had it for a very long time. It works wonders and is a part of preventive measures against alcohol abuse in countries where winter darkness is massive.

The sheer ignorance of suggesting that this would make alcoholics drive is quite astounding. Neither Systembolaget nor Alko serve drunk customers and both countries have top notch public transit. Ignorance at its finest.

Here, have a look: https://www.systembolaget.se/E...

Actually it discourages them, because neither Systembolaget nor Alko, the monopoly relatailers in Sweden and Finland respectively, do not sell to inebriated people.

If you're drunk, you're not getting any more alcohol. So no reason to drive there in the first place. Not to even mention that both countries have excellent public transport and taxi systems, and a lot of campaigns to discourage drunk driving.

In case you need evidence, here's Systembolaget's English page on the topic:

You find preventing alcohol addiction, managing already existing alcohol addiction and massive amount of victims that alcohol addicts cause to their circle of family and friends as "not useful purpose" while "getting booze delivered to me instead of going to the shop to fetch it" is "useful purpose"?

You are truly a one warped individual and need help.

At which point, attempting to resale alcohol through this delivery system would be a criminal offence. One of the main reasons for government monopolies on alcohol in states where such monopoly exists is reduction of consumption.

Customer trusting the cashier?

It's about pharmacy owner. They have massive amounts of security to prevent this very scenario.

Lego was a toy set that any toy maker could throw together in six months.

Yet it was lego that was massive among young boys back in the day, just like minecraft is massive among that very same audience today.

Let me help you. Minecraft is where Lego was a couple of decades ago. Not something adults play with much, but something that is absolutely HUGE with young boys.

They're not buying this for "ads". They are buying this to get access to massive amount of young boys who are going to grow up, and who can typically influence their parents to buy them the game and subscription to a paid server.

All accidents are "medical" in nature in that they cause damage to the body that is medically treatable to an extent, just like any other illness. Therefore, if we could "eliminate all medical causes of death", we would be immortal.

How our minds would survive such an ordeal is a whole different story.

Remains of a hard, sharp material like glass in a spacecraft would be life threatening. No gravity means they would hover around until someone drew them into their lungs, where they may cause all sorts of damage.

You misunderstand. They're build harder and harder to survive scratches. Not drops.

We already know that making glass harder generally also makes it more brittle, so folks behind Gorilla Glass have started introducing less brittleness to the glass in version 3 already.
