Well... yeah, pretty much.

The last time I tried it, it didn't even recognize my USB keyboard or mouse so it was completely and entirely useless. Seems like they should focus their attention on making an OS that works on computers built within the past decade instead of forking other projects' code.

Maybe that's how it's so secure?

Tesla makes toy cars which are fashion statements for people who can afford to waste money on that sort of thing.

Funny, that's how I feel about people who buy Mercedes.

No... they really don't.

Can't say I've used a single Oracle product that didn't end up exploding in my face at one point or another for no apparent reason.

One time I couldn't upgrade MySQL because it claimed I couldn't go from paid to free licensing on that version. I've never paid for MySQL in my life. It's stupid bugs and lack of attention to detail like that which makes me think Oracle is guilty, guilty, GUILTY!

Basically what you're saying is this:

We have sliding locks in real life.

When a sliding lock is used on a computer, all of a sudden it's a brilliant idea?

How about rounded rectangles in real life, like erasers and food trays?

All of a sudden when something is a rounded rectangle on a computer it's another brilliant idea deserving of a patent?

Also, online, you could be anyone. Respectfully.

Everyone knows Russia has nuclear weapons. They have a ton. They could blow up the world. So could the United States. That's really irrelevant. Nobody is crazy enough to use them.

What needs to happen is Ukraine needs to ask for EU assistance, and the EU needs to come together on this. If they don't recognize the Russian threat and push back, Vladimir Putin is going to keep chomping up the small fries. Russia is dangerous, but not nearly as dangerous as the Soviet Union was. If the EU moved forces into Ukraine along their Eastern border, Russia would be contained. It would need to be a sizable EU force, and strictly an EU force. No direct US participation on this one, unless it got bloody (which it wouldn't).

By staying out of it, the US could play the role of mediator and the crisis would likely be resolved peacefully. The US and EU both just need to have a backbone when dealing with Vladimir Putin. The man is a tough-guy wannabe.

So you're saying the United States isn't a power house in agriculture? http://www.mapsofworld.com/wor...

Why, I don't even see Russia on that list.

Sue the ISP or change providers?

Where do you live that you can change between decent high-speed providers? The best option I ever had was the choice between Comcast and Verizon FiOS. Good luck suing either of them.

Nowadays I'm on a smaller cable provider. And that's the only option, unless you still consider DSL or satellite "high-speed".

On yet another hand, exactly how much money do you want to spend archiving and holding onto a high-quality rip of a movie that you're never going to watch again?

Oracle recommends that I install the Ask toolbar every time there is a new Java update.

Probably a sign of the kind of technical expertise Oracle has and why they should be avoided at all costs.

It took no math or science to build the Hoover Dam?

Are you stupid?

It takes math just to put up shelves in the bathroom.

Also, it's a dam. Not a damn. Damn!

Can't say I'll ever be in the Olympics. Maybe McDonald's should pay for security, they are sponsoring this thing afterall...
