Protectionist laws like requiring a chauffeurs license? Having appropriate carrier insurance? Following the same rules that actual taxi companies have to? Holy fuck! It's like people want them to operate like a legal business or something!

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. I have a legit copy through work and it gave me the 'blahblahblah ur a pr8' bit the other day.

You mean the "don't run reactors without proper controls" don't (thanks environmentalists) stall upgrades on a first gen nuclear reactor in an earthquake zone? Yeah. We already know about the first, the second though pushed back upgrades on the reactors several times.

It's not dissimilar to what happened at a medical reactor here in Canada. It didn't have a secondary or third backup system for various parts, and the environmentalists threw a hissy fit over and over and over again, and the government had enough and simply shut down the reactor leading to a world-wide shortage of medical isotopes until the new reactor was online.

The question then people should be asking, is are you using fast path or the slow path channel? My one machine is fast path and sees these problems, the other is slow path and doesn't see these problems. You put that together and what does it say? That fast path is still tweaking and testing like any other unstable build. While slow is doing a fine job of being stable.

How the hell it became news, I don't have a clue either. Microsoft said it was going to be released on July 29th, almost 28 days ago.

If you're talking about Moore no. He's shilling pro-capitalism when greenpeace when communist, and dove onto the crazy train.

Legislature would mean from the congress of the people. That isn't this, this is the courts engaging in a judicial decision. Some may consider that judicial activism.

Adobe just did this for mcafee so yeah, it seems to me that all the companies seem to think this is just an awesome idea. I know, we'll change shit for people then laugh when this backfires or something! Though I'm pretty sure that this stuff is illegal here in Canada now.

Yep and you've swallowed a line of bullshit so tasty, you don't even realize it's shit. There's plenty of historical evidence along with scientific evidence that particular area also experiences wildfires and they've been disrupted by humans. Meaning you're sitting on a tinderbox.

Not surprised at the 40MB scsi drive still working, I had an old quantum 40MB drive that was working up until a few years ago in a old 386, it had been running for 18 odd years straight. I figured that when I shut it down, that would be the end of it since the bearings would be completely worn out. I was right.

Oh it gets better. Since the last release, they now force mcafee on you.

Sounds about right. I've had two crashes, one was back in 2006 and it was a raid night in WoW, the drive head of my main drive crashed. The other was a SSD failure, when I was writing a term paper. Luckily in both cases I used a triple redundancy solution for my backups and was up and running again in a few hours. I learned way, way back in '91 that if you don't have a backup you're up shits creek.

Oh please. We've been doing this in Canada for 80 years and have figured out how to make profitable treefarms with a 10 year harvesting rotation. This is even more so true since we have a serious problem with pine beetles in parts of our western forests, just like in the US. The difference is here in Canada we'll cut it down and make something out of it, in the US you're too busy worrying about xyz something, and then wondering why you have massive forest fires.

Uh no. You know the deployment kit can do this across all the machines in about 15 seconds right?

You should really look at that anonymous reply, they already did all the hard legwork for me.
