Win7 isn't that bad, fairly good in fact. I had to install it to play Battlefield 3 (Game), but Win2K was/is my favorite Windows OS.

I became a Microsoft Insider, you know to beta test Win10, but just couldn't agree to their ToS. I know if your also a Microsoft Insider you've read the ToS; I just couldn't allow MS to access my mic, webcam or just browse my system whenever they wanted; I only went as far as downloading it.

And that's how the PC and Microsoft won the computer wars (Amiga here), Backwards compatibility.

I read the article hoping it was beyond High School basics. But nope, I wouldn't want my name on it.

Wonder who paid for this "research", as it would of been cheaper to of just read Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

Are you familiar with Sugar? It cost twice as much to import it to the USA than any other place and this has been since the 1700's
It's one reason were killing ourself with corn syrup. - came across that when it was mentioned now we can get Sugar from Cuba.

We can't afford it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... and I'm one of those that seek out Mexican Coca-Cola in ethnic groceries because they prefer the taste compared to Coca-Cola in the U.S. which is made with HFCS.

This being the best they could come up with, but then I don't know of all the off the wall requirements there.

Quite true.

A transformer blew, they do do that.

There were at least two other power supplies to feed the system, one being commercial, and in reality a non event. Being a nuke plant any thing out of the ordinary must be reported and scrutinized; as quoted "These events happen occasionally. They are not unheard of and the plant responded as designed," in this case the auto sprinkler system took care of it.

Wanna bet what the people working at the plant did? My guess is whenever they could went to look at it, no cares at all just curiosity.

If it's power was being utilized at the time, it was switched so fast the computers never knew; well maybe a stretch (but they are on UPS systems).

As a general rule for Nuclear plants there are three systems for each function, one goes down another takes it's place, another goes down which is providing the same function it's time for concern (dependent only upon it's function). Fukushima used the fourth option (firetrucks).

On the opposite scale I had a friend who had CD's created to make him a better him, he was using it for salesmanship. You hooked up similar wiring as shown by the article to your head then went to sleep, he ended up giving it to me, which I've never used but come across it every now and again (or I might of tossed em out with the other old and useless CD's).

Snake oil, that's going to be very profitable to Microsoft.

I was installing security systems at the time, and we serviced all of the local schools. I was there during the purge of Apple from the school system. Rooms just for the storage of out going Apple equipment (computers, printers, other peripherals) lots of rooms. Every school was the same.

Some schools were giving a single Win95 and a modem a try (not a router) to get outside access and having a heck of a go of it. Running a 6 line BBS I could of been of some use, but regulations prevented it. - interesting time.

But all of the game producers would have to be on board for it to work efficiently. Which comes down to salesmanship and it's licenses cost.

Beer, or cola as the case may be.

Any smaller you have a large phone, larger a laptop, but this ASUS could change my mind; looks nice. If only it weren't a windows OS.

Remotely is bad but can be blocked. I like the option of viewing my Ram (or an unchanging snapshot). As an old Amiga user it can be used for the previously undo-able things, be it grab music, videos, or grabbing a key used for a program, once you become familiar with it, it's very handy.
