Oppressive behavior just creates terrorists, it doesn't find or defeat them.
Perfect! That's just what the government needs to justify all this bullshit!
Can someone clear this up for me? I keep hearing the two differ. Some tell me they're a geek but not a nerd. Some the opposite. So what is what? Where can I find _the_ definition to point all others to?
Nobody writes it down. If you have to ask, you don't need to know.
Watch the movie "Wargames" (The original 1983 one.) Wait for the scene when David goes to the university to talk to Jim and Malvin, and observe the characters. Jim is a geek, and Malvin is a nerd.

What does that have to do with copyright claims?
Answer: absolutely nothing.
Through contract law, just like every other contract ever written.
Come on, what real proof is there the rule change is to be more "embarrassing"?

It's utterly stupid on the face of it if you think AT ALL
Exactly - the utter absurdity that this could be in any way about security is the "real proof".
That's the thing about the corporate system that many people fail to realize. It's very easy to get a corporation to change what they're doing if there's a coordinated effort by consumers to choose not to buy from a certain manufacturer until practices are changed.
That's the thing about the corporate system that corporate apologists people fail to realize. It's almost impossible to get a coordinated effort by consumers because the corporations have so more damn money than individuals, and can drown out any opposition to their pracices.

I like to think the past tense of Bing is Bung.
Wouldn't it be "bang"? You know, like "shat" is the past tense of.. umm. never mind.
It's a great server OS, sure, but lets look at this realistically:
- the Windows /
- the Linux-based system is under development now, to be deployed next year.
You missed

Just based on that, you'd expect substantial performance differences from just using newer hardware.
Sure, except for the part that the both are running on new hardware.
Chances are that the original kit was certified as a part of the solution, and hasn't been replaced since.
"Chances are" - except that is 100% wrong. They had problems since day 1, which were blamed on the hardware, so they've been constantly upgrading it trying to fix the problem.
Even ignoring the hardware and the OS, one would expect 90% of the performance to be determined by the application, not the OS. Decisions like writing the software in
The old system was written with the help of MS. They were the ones that said that
On top of this, the software stack is completely different, and developed by a different team. Just about every design decision, small and large, will be different.
Of course it's completely different - that's the entire fscking point.
That would be enabled by default in Mach.

They are trained to take control of situations and something silly like not respecting their authority and blowing bubbles can sometimes escalate quickly into something worse.
So, a cop sees you doing something he doesn't like (say maybe dancing, or listening to music) and decides you're not "respecting his authority" - it gives him the right to come over to you and harrass you?
fuck that.
This cop had a choice - he could have just ignored it. The female cop that was talking to the protester has no problem, why did Officer Bubbles have to stick his nose in it?
