If they were hunting birds, they were using shotguns with birdshot. No threat posed to the highway. Max effective range 30 yards. Good for the hunters.

Oh please. As a 1st gen immigrant from Romania, an eastern european soviet block country crushed by first the Nazis and then the Soviets, capitalism as done in the US is a godsend compared to the bullshit of Marxism. What you have in Russia and Romania is the result of years of devastating communism, where there is no incentive to work, everyone steals from their employer (the state). The same people are in power now as before, they're just "capitalists" by name. I have family that went back after the revolution and tried to help the country, start businesses, teach etc. They got stolen blind because of the same attitudes that had been forged into the soul of the people by communism.

Never mind that I had relatives in prison tortured because my family wouldn't join the communist party. My mother told me about when she was being appointed to her first job, how she wanted to request to be in a different location so she went to the hearing and a married couple went first. They were stationed (the govt picks where you work in that system of govt by the way) over a hundred kilometers apart. They had no car. They had a child. They requested to be posted closer together. The govt presiding officer told the woman - eh you can find another man in your new village. After a few similar cases my mom just left without a hearing.

Go back to your dear Russia and take your communism bullshit with you. Never again you fucks and take your fucking KGB putin and his fucks with you. Thank God for the US. The main regret of the Romanian people and the cause of so much horror there was that the US didn't take over and instead gave Romania to you Russian bastards.

This is exactly right. Office 2010 does this crap where they got rid of panes/lines. Those lines are there for a reason. Now I lose my title bar in another window behind it because the app behind it (e.g. Lotus Notes) has the same grey content as the stupid title bar with no lines in 2010. WTF is wrong with these people. I wish these so-called GUI designers would go work for a car company and try to redesign car controls...

After a while, we get things right, and then changing them is just change for change's sake and is not making things better. I've been with this GUI thing since X-Windows first came out. Lots of great stuff has happened over the years. Lately it's all going to shit.

Yeah except the menus would be there while the ribbon is hidden and you can't do jack. So of course you have to click again to get it back...

Ribbon is about the most retarded thing I've ever seen. Different targets, different size, some pictures, some words, some pictures and words, some big pictures, some little pictures, crap spread accross different ribbon tabs.

OMG so bad. Old menu system + toolbar was so good. Ribbon is so bad. So bad and inconsistant. Review ribbon tab makes no sense in Visio but it's there. Not to mention that now some apps have ribbons some have menus....

Office 2003 was the last good version. When I was forced to upgrade to 2010 from 2003, I desperately started looking for an alternative. I even downloaded openoffice and seriously considered using it...

I guess stealing from regular people is easier than taking on the Zetas, eh Anonymoustards? Someone just needs to go to one of those conventions and just start mowing down any retard with a Fawkes mask on.

You totally missed the point. You should not have any reason to add a system call. In a microkernel (QNX is my favorite) you leave the microkernel to do its job, and you write userland code. That's way easier than your example of adding a system call. Yes I have for fun added system calls and written linux driver. Would you rather write in C in the kernel and debug with kprintfs and not know who's messing with your address space, or write your "driver" in whatever language you want and debug it in eclipse?

So what you're saying is that even though he needs an OS that shows up on the common criteria list, he should instead use one that doesn't because it's cheaper...

Horribly inaccurate. The tablets in the "before" section are rugged / industrial. The ones in the "after" are consumer. The toughbook tablet shown looks just like it did before,

This Armor tablet is typical.

Rated to 20k ft altitude, IP67 for water and particulate matter, MIL-SPEC 810 etc.

All the rugged tabs have resistive touchscreens and come w/a stylus because you can't really use capacitive with gloves etc. They are all bulky and all / most run windows and some run linux.

Typical pro apple FUD.

A friend from Uganda immigrated and worked here, while her husband and kids stayed home in Uganda until she could bring them. The kids came to visit for a year. They were bored to tears in school here. When they went back home to Uganda, they had to get a tutor, they were so far behind.

So the answer is he has no place in our public educational system. He needs to go to Uganda :)

I read that to mean that Republicans are 10x smarter than Obama supporters :)

Well said.

The 92% rather than 99% actually have jobs and do not occupy anything other than their workspace. They have social obligations, friends, family and they do their part. If you're occupying Wall Street, or DC, you're not looking for a job. Clearly you have time and funds to travel, so travel to a place that has less unemployment than where you come from and get a job. Yes you may have to work hard and do a job that isn't your ideal. Travel a bit to other parts of the world, then you'll come back and like Snoop Dogg, admit that even living in the projects you have it better than most of the world, food, shoes on your feet, a place to sleep, free education, etc.

Occupy This and That are not the 99% and they are not like us.

How is this an operating system? You "run" it by hitting F5 INSIDE VISUAL STUDIO. The most basic thing an OS does is provide a bootloader. If you require a .NET runtime, which is a huge virtual machine, how are you writing an OS? A command shell is not an OS.

Maybe they go ahead and describe how they make a boot image later but I stopped at the "hit F5 in VISUAL STUDIO" part.

Who in their right mind would build anything, much less a business or curriculum off a google product? What was the end of life google gave you for this product when you did your research into it? Or did you just hop on the latest/greatest google thing du jour bandwagon?

Someday ppl will figure out that free crap from google comes with no guarantee of any kind. Use at your own risk.

Even the paid stuff comes with no service.

I thought you were talking about Linus not Bill Gates? If you're talking about Linus, then you mean the guy who should have listened to his professor and then we'd have a sweet microkernel OS where no kernel module (device driver, stack, etc.) could cause a kernel panic or hard crash because they all run in user space instead of in a monolithic kernel, and it wouldn't have taken so long to have SMP and a somewhat preemptible kernel for semi-real-time use. See Minix for a free/academic exercise and QNX for a commercial example of sweet microkernel systems.

If you are talking about that Linus, then what you mean to say is you like to listen to the guy who created an ok UNIX-like kernel after studing UNIX source code. I can't think of any actual operating systems he's written, but I might be wrong.

Probably what you mean to say is you think he's really smart and that's why you listen to him.

BTW I 100% agree on this topic, hate Gnome 3.
