Anything which mentions 'running as admin' clearly exists in a post-XP universe, because otherwise there aren't other users, so is inherently poorly-designed. Unless it came out in that microscopic window where XP was first released and it was quickly and poorly updated, no, that's inexcusable.
post xp? haven't you whippersnappers ever heard of Windows NT? there were ordinary users & administrators there. now get off my lawn!
They have mostly been living without one since the overthrow of communism there in '89. I just wonder what took them so long.
maybe they were waiting for the 2nd generation iPad...
Because of madoff, thousands will suffer through the last years of their lives living from social security check to check, will not have access to the medications they need or the mobility required to live a healthy senior life.
Madoff was evil, but this is nonsensical. The people he stole from were rich, and even losing fortunes in Madoff's scams and the stock markets, still have more than enough money for their personal needs.
How do you know the finances of everyone who invested with Madoff? Just because people aren't living in their mothers basement eating ramen noodles, doesn't make them rich. Sure, his high profile clients were rich. Hollywood types, doctors, lawyers. but there were lots of ordinary people who had their retirement funds with him and lost everything. it's disingenuous to excuse all of his clients as fat-cats that could afford to lose millions.
Often times, I see someone ride around 5 feet off my ass, in snow and ice @ 70mph.
