Comment Fine graphics (Score 1) 61

I never owned a Mac, classic or otherwise. I did, however, own an Apple //e. The Mac icons were so well designed, I found some Macintosh sales literature and was able to duplicate the icons using some Apple // drawing programs. The most notable was the Trash Can.

These icons deserve to be preserved.

The customers that hate it won't come back, and the ones that remain don't care, so nothing is gained by removing it after losing that part of the customer base.

Those aren't the only two options.

This is an opportunity for the typical end-user to learn how to uninstall the malware and/or reinstall windows from a clean version, thus making them better as a computer user.

Here in Minnesota, we have large stores like Mills Fleet Farm and Wal-Mart that have extended hours, if not open 24 hours, and stock items that typical farmers need for maintaining Livestock and doing various repairs. This can also be supplemented with Amazon orders that can be delivered directly to your home. There is an ever decreasing need for DST changes just to support farmers. Also, we have had the electric light for more than 100 years now. I think it's time to change. Farmers will be able to adapt. If they can't, then maybe they should be replaced with robots.

What KIND of evidence are they looking for on the phones?

Suppose I unlock my phone so they can browse through my boring and completely legal photographs. Then, the customs officer comes across KeePass on my phone and asks me to unlock it. Since it contains passwords to EVERYTHING about my life, I would say "ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!"

There should be no need for them to discover my passwords to other services.

But that's just where the usefulness ends. Sure, you now appreciate rock music, but can you play it in real life on real instruments? Millions of kids bought Guitar Hero and Rock Band to realize their dreams of actually becoming ROCK MUSICIANS. Sadly, all the games do is to train you to press colored buttons in sequence with colored lights. Those skills are not transferable to real instruments, and in fact, won't even get you an audition.

The games would have been more useful if they were burger flipper simulators.
