Romney believes net neutrality will restrict ISPs, and that they alone should govern their networks. The governor has stated that he wants as little regulation of the internet as possible

Then, Romney should be in favor of net neutrality since he's in favor of smaller government? I don't understand why anyone will vote for this man when he clearly wants to increase regulation, which will cause an increase demand for regulators thus expanding government/commercial authority.

I will not be voting for Romney; he talks out his ass.

In full support of Obama's stance. I might be able to see eye-to-eye with Ron Paul.

Exactly.

I dislike "cloud" software systems. It takes the control of data out of the users control.

Basically, it's not at all impossible today for Facebook to create a clone of you by reading a lot of users' posts and submissions.

Evidently, you're a web developer.

And Python does come shipped on most Linux/BSD systems, except it's still a "black sheep" scripting language on Windows systems because most will opt for Java versus Python.

This is a poorly asked poll. I mean, clearly I am never going to use Javascript for systems administration and I am not going to use VBA to host dynamic webpages where it'd be better to use Javascript and/or PHP.

Also it's sometimes the environment being worked in. For instance, I cannot use PowerShell or DOS on UNIX (or Linux) where there is a plethora of shell options, such as KSH, BASH, SH, CSH, TCSH, etc.

Honestly, it would've been better at "Most Useful Scripting Language For Server Side HTML" and as options, it'd have Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, etc. This is just a bad poll; they should seriously focus them, but I guess they're catering to Windows and Linux/BSD at the same time vs. just F/OSS systems.

Besides, the United States of America is where it is unlawful to hinder free speech is the best place for this communication engine: the Internet.

I would not want to hand this over to a body, where I do not know its established law. The UN is over-stepping its bounds; it's supposed to be a place where countries can meet and circumvent wars, such as world wars, etc.

Yup. GameStop won't be able to do the same thing with digital copies as they could with hard, physical copies; their business model is going down the crap shoot and consumers won't be far behind because you can't resell these digital copies. eBay items will evaporate as will the low prices.

Been trying it and I don't use the Metro interface apps, at all. Even using Explorer, everything has been moved and it just sucks.

This OS is a nightmare. It's not even Windows; it's "Metro" because the only windows I get are in the "desktop app" which emulates Windows 7.

You've got my vote, sir because you're dead on right.

I've heard from my friend that Windows phones don't allow "copy" and "pasting" operations.

Greatest desktop operating system. Wrong! So wrong. I think it's trash. I am using the preview, and I have it set up like Windows 7 because I cannot stand the Metro UI.

It's comparable to iOS, where in order to transfer data from one app to another, you'll have to go to the Start Screen and back. Cascading windows is the most efficient for transferring information.

As for the Metro UI, it's "in your face" (on desktop screens). It's like that big wrestler whose screaming in your face telling you to do this or that. I guess it's comparable to facing Steve Ballmer when he's on a rage about something. They should rename this "Steve Ballmer OS" instead of Windows, which has windows and it's called Windows because it has windows.

Windows 8 is great for the mobile platform (I think?). They should've made it their proprietary ARM-based, touchscreen OS and kept it there. As for the "greatest desktop operating system," I honestly don't know these days. The open source community is coming out with several great product choices. And as for the most luxurious UNIX experience, Mac OS X is absolutely splendid. I should know OpenBSD is fairly secure, but the security comes with a price tag and it's interoperability is slightly hindered, as is its performance but it works better than Windows XP on the machine that it's installed on; I hardly hear the drive when it's under load on OpenBSD.

Yes, native applications are easier to run versus LISP, Java, Python or Ruby which require an intermediary software to run.

Perhaps this is where OCR can be helpful?

The answer is no. The best plan is to backup, backup and backup.

Any physical dinking around may provide a one-time shot; however, you cannot open the drive and successfully transplant the platters. Also, you cannot simply swap the PCB with a healthy donor--without exchanging the EEPROM chip, which is programmed specifically with that drive's specific "contact points" (ie. start sector, maintenance sector, how far to swing on each track [basically any imperfections during manufacturing]).

Yup, none of the Universe is static.
