Under the current system, which I believe is intended to continue, they don't actually search the internet for RC'd material. Instead they only act on pages to which someone has submitted a complaint about. Only then do they go and check to see if it would be RC'd. If yes, they add to the secret black list.

Ran fine for me. Apart from the first month when there was no drivers for my soundcard. I even ran it on my gaming machine with no issues. If anything I was always mystified at how much trouble everyone else seemed to be having with it.
But yes, it did get a lot of bad press.
Isn't this story perhaps a little hysterical? When the RC came out they were very clear that this would happen, they even gave the dates. They were also very clear you may not be able to upgrade from the RC.
Now it's about to happen and people are surprised? People agreed to help test an RC and in return they got almost a years worth of free use out of a fairly stable OS. Trials over, pay up.
If every free web based news site were to go behind a pay wall I would have far more time at work for work. I would just devolve to watching free to air news on TV. Though I would probably set up my PVR to tape it and watch it at my convenience.
Next time my mum calls with a computer problem, can I give her your number?
It stops my in-laws from screwing over their machine. I told them, "If that pops up and you didn't do anything to make it pop up, decline it". They also know that random web visits should not pop UAC up. Nor should things that people send them. Some updates confuse them, but over time they've created a handwritten whitelist of programs that might pop it up that it is ok to say yes to.
UAC also doesn't stop the user from taking the side of their computer off and filling it with cement. I don't see what your point is?
Sadly, they are similiar in that people cheat either way.
Whether it's loaded dice or insider data, someone is always happy to rip someone else off.
You're not judging the scientific value, but the presentation instead.
Many wild and ingenious scientific discoveries have been produced with less pretty and less well-documented publications. Perhaps it would be best to review the data instead?
