What if you had an accident in that guys jamming zone and needed to call an ambulance while parked on the shoulder?

XP users will still get patches for individual products like Office and IE.
I really don't care about dual booting - in my experience the machine spends most of its time in one environment, and the one time you do switch its got a months worth of patches to install.
I don't use the metro ui for anything on my desktop - that said - while I think Windows 8.1 is more responsive than 7 or XP, it does have a lot of usability issues, but its not debilitating.
I honestly think OSX (yes I have an airbook running mavericks
You can't even use server core for some MS services (CM 2012 comes to mind).
Define major christian church? I find publicly the mormons or catholics may not say anything, but in their cannon its quite clear the earth is only a couple thousand years old.
It comes and goes - back when iPhones could be jail-broken by visiting a website (something as far as I know - no Android phone has suffered from) I banned loads of iphones off our university network for contacting known malware sites.
And you kids! Get off my lawn!
The architecture is different though - Android runs everything under a VM. I suspect if the iPhone ran everything under a VM with the processor it currently sports it would be a different picture.
There are advantages and disadvantages with this approach - the advantages you went over - the iPhone is faster with less CPU. Android however can take advantage of newer processors and new features quicker however. A VM for instance lends itself more useful at distributing load much better at non SMP aware apps.
The iPhone really can't make any
Kinda like the way I upgraded my A4000 68040 to a 68060?
I have no clue what your talking about but I can only think of three models of Amiga that came with a 68000 - the A1000, A500, and the A2000 - the rest at least had a 68020 if not a 68030 standard.
I had an A4000 and an A3000 before that - it ran circles in every measurable benchmark I could think of around the first PPC based 6100/60 I had (the A4000 did 3d rendering faster, graphics process faster etc etc).
In the early 90's I was making money on my Amiga - it was very much a niche computer like the Mac. I think a lot of people think Amiga - they think Amiga 500 or 1200 - games machines. I think personal workstation.
My last machine was an A4000 with 68060 and 148 megs of ram (a lot for an Amiga) and it did serious special effects and graphics - and it had ethernet etc - it could even do NLE (online disk based video editing with the VT Flyer).
Commodore could have developed that into a more mainstream market, but because of a lot of wasted opportunities - when they ran out of money that was it. Remember too - before Steve Jobs second coming Apple was on the rocks too - it very nearly went under like all the other niche computers of the time (SGI, Sun, Commodore, Atari etc etc etc).
The real irony is who wrote their constitution...
How long has imap been around now? The RFC was last updated in 2003 - thats only 10 years to get it right.
I actually work under a union (SEIU 503):
My union doesn't impose their views on me - I'm not sure how that would actually work. They do send out a newsletter - I can either read it or not. Contrary to what you may think they don't shout their beliefs over loudspeaker.
You can't do anything (really) to prevent someone from crossing the line, but you can make it more difficult. While your co-workers are out working hard to keep management from decreasing your pay you sit on your ass reaping the benefits.
On your last point - I hate people who reap all the benefits that we worked hard for in our union, but don't participate at all. If you don't like working in a union shop - leave the company - that's your right to work
Unions worked hard for the weekend - remember that any time you have a day off.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
