It is overly simplistic on the surface but it is the correct answer, although the reason is far more complex and students are free to read up on it further in the library, or online.

The reason for the seasons is a fourth or fifth grade science subject. Of course astronomy graduates ought to be able to answer such simple questions.

Not quite. It's because god squeezed the tube from the middle rather than neatly from the bottom up, leaving a lot left in the tube. So much for omnipotence.

That's fine if you've got the standard OEM with the system builder kit installed, but for the typical system Joe Sixpack buys that option is not present, nor is it documented, nor is it accessible once the system has been activated.

. . . or you can use NTFS junctions (Windows' equivalent of hard links), which cannot be done via the Windows UI.

Yes, because Windows makes it oh so easy to move user profiles to other volumes.

For Linux users, it's really easy:

mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp
mv /home/. /mnt/tmp/home
ls -lh /home #to make sure everything moved.
mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /home (ideally, add ,acl to enable access control lists)

. . . then add it to fstab to make it permanent.

On Windows, each user has to go to each individual folder and move it - and only lets you move certain folders. To do it globally it requires registry edits, which Joe Sixpack will inevitably screw up.

That may be true but how much $$ is lost in damages due to asshats parking via the braille method? Backup cameras should reduce or hopefully prevent that as well.

Right - I remember when they took away the blog/journal feature, and then removed all links to the forums and quit moderating the forums allowing spammers to get away in some cases with posting hundreds of pages of crap - all that and they slowed down and eventually stopped updating the OKCupid blog (OKTrends I think it was called?) They were slowly but surely dismantling everything that made the site great ever since Match acquired them.

Jobs also bought a brand-new Ferrari every few months in order to exploit loopholes in CA law allowing new cars to be driven without registration tags.

"$PriorArt, on a phone."

Innovation worthy of a patent, indeed. >_>

But the page changed on April 1, right?

I plan to buy a C/CMYK 3D printer so I can manufacture a custom dashboard for my ZR-1 interior and I am looking for ways to make the printer pay for itself (the price tag on the printer approaches the original MSRP of the car). I would not do shoes though because 3D printed shoes would be much like Crocs. Ick. Friends don't let friends wear crocs.

"That's a nice pair of crocs" said no one, ever.

Holy 2005, Batman!

Google has a 9 year lead in this and they've been doing it better than anyone. How does Yahoo expect to compete in this space?

Honestly the one company I'm surprised HASN'T entered this space is Microsoft because their M.O. lately hasn't been to improve their core product offerings and give customers what they want, but to get into market segments where they see OTHERS succeeding, only to fail miserably (see: MP3 players, search engines) - even in cases where they once dominated the market then let it languish without further development because it hadn't hit critical mass yet (see: PDA/multimedia devices and Smartphones).

> A corporate firewall does little to ensure safety of a Windows installation. I've seen users behind a malware scanning firewall, running antivirus software on Win7 *still* manage to get infected by malware.

That is why you run multiple layers of protection; a UTM with antivirus/malware signature update subscriptions plus centrally-administered antivirus/antimalware software and policies covering use of USB devices.
