If a public university were, by law, to refuse this peaceable assembly (which is not an establishment of any religion), they would be in direct violation of the first amendment.

Um, no. You have some economic definitions mixed up. This is deflation, not poverty.

But considering that money is steadily inflating as it has for a long time, the money supply is therefore increasing. Thus reality contradicts your position.

And to think, I was promised better healthcare.

Some states have laws against small communities enforcing speed laws on state or interstate highways, so that the town doesn't become a revenue-generating speed trap.

Let's say that a driver going 60 mph notices the light turn amber 1 ft. from the intersection. According to your statement, they are not supposed to enter the intersection.

This would require a deceleration of approximately 120 g. Not only is this physically impossible for any vehicle (short of hitting a very thick concrete wall), you'll flatten the driver and passengers like pancakes.

Continuum is not available (yet). My tablet running Windows 10 thinks it is a desktop.

But you can change a setting to get the Start screen back instead of the Start menu.

To be fair, common sense can easily be forgotten during emergencies.

Fight-or-flight instincts don't let us know that seats are useful flotation devices, but flight attendants remind us each time so it will be more fresh on our minds.

Agreed. Using a good password quality algorithm, and requiring a minimum level of strength, would be a much better tool than restricting input.

I worked at a Chick-fil-A about 15 years ago. A man walked up to me and asked for the corporate office number.

Me:

Him, holding up a table-top display:

I'm pretty sure I started laughing, until I noticed the guy was completely straight-faced.

IE 6 should be illegal.

Those who believe in the right to fling feces will vote Republican.

Dead chimps and chimps being bused in from other zoos will vote Democrat.

This seems odd, but they do it on purpose for driver compatibility.

It seemed more like the following, to me:

Let's create a version of Windows that is aimed aggressively at tablets. None of this Windows 7 Tablet PC edition, rather something that really embraces new hardware and technology. Full pane applications and home screen, with application lifecycle management and an app store, just like other tablet operating systems.

Oh and for added value, let's allow Windows desktop apps to run on it. Users can plug in mice and keyboards and it becomes like a small desktop.

Microsoft had already designed the Start screen, but it turns out telemetry data suggests the Start menu isn't of huge importance. And Fitts's Law suggests the Start screen might actually be better in some ways.

Of course, all that is true, and is great for a tablet-first OS. But then they branded it Windows 8 (not Windows Tablet or something like that) and marketed it as the successor to Windows 7. So, in my mind, it's a marketing screw-up and Windows 9 was always in the backs of their minds as the true successor to 7.

I rarely pin apps to the taskbar.

I also attended the first BUILD, in September 2011, and have the Samsung slate right beside me.

Samsung agrees with me.
