I had a friend who wanted to open a restaurant ....In China you just don't have that problem. The massive left wing agenda to redistribute the wealth has caused these problems.

Yes, and as we all know, things in China are SO much better. Those darn left-wingers are holding us back.

By the way, do you EVER have trouble finding a restaurant? I don't. They're everywhere. Somehow people still manage to open them and run them successfully. Hmmm....

cheers

Comment Re:4.5 kg isn't so much (Score 0) 262

If you go hiking, carrying 4.5 kg for hours is absolutely nothing.

Sure, if that's all you're carrying, but rarely is that ever the case. Real hikers know that reducing your load is a matter of trimming small bits of weight from every item possible. Pretty soon those couple of grams you've saved among a bunch of objects add up to real significant weight reduction.

In the (admittedly unlikely) scenario of taking a laptop hiking, every hiker I've known would absolutely take a 4kg one over a 4.5kg one. Hell, they would even be glad to have a 4.4kg instead.

Amazing that she just comes right out like that and says, "Yes, let's make things HARDER for the American worker. Let's give businesses even MORE reason to hire non-Americans." Ms. Clinton - aren't you supposed to be working for _us_?

I don't know why I still consider this a technical forum. Almost everything you said isn't true. Windows 7 installs from a USB stick in about 15 minutes (longer depending on the performance of your system).

Shenanigans. Unless you're using some ultra-mega-quantum computer it does NOT install in 15 minutes. On _my_ machine, an i5 2.66Mhz with 4G RAM it was well into 45 minutes. Compare that to my Bodhi Linux install on the same machine: from the time I hit the "install Now" button after answering the last of 7 questions -> 2min 53secs ON THE DESKTOP CONNECTED TO THE NET. No, I'm not exaggerating.

The only choice is where to put it and installation completes and the system reboots.

During which it completely takes a crap on the MBR, completely ignoring any other OS you may have installed.

Windows starts and then some configuration questions are asked and I assume are required on other platforms (account name and password, date and time, and yes, choosing to enter the Windows license key or not). I feel like I'm leaving something out, but after these steps the system is up and ready for use.

Yes, you are forgetting something. Like when you have do find the drivers some some strange hardware on something unusual and not on a popular machine, like, say, a DELL MINI 10!! which win7 couldn't cope with with graphics or wireless. Compared to EVERY Linux I've put on there which had them both working OOTB.
