I apologize to the antivirus software industry for what I'm about to say, but AV should be part of the operating system - and it should be a good, solid, constantly updated AV that others can't compete with. If a piece of software is required to keep the operating system in working order, it should be provided by the operating system developer free of charge with the operating system.

This guy has it right. These days, if you're putting more than 4GB of RAM into a computer, I'm sure you're running a processor that supports 64-bit Windows. Personally, I feel that companies producing software that is not 64-bit compatible are being lazy and irresponsible. They're negatively affecting the software industry by requiring other developers to produce both 32- and 64-bit versions of their software since both systems are still supported. How much of that developement time and spending could be redirected to improvements to other areas or eliminated and passed on to consumer or stockholders as increased profit margins?

The 4GB RAM limit is a smart move by Microsoft to push computing towards 64-bit. Basically, if any software company wants their product to run on a system with more than 4GB of physical memory, they'll have to start supporting 64-bit Windows. Perhaps it's not about the money. Perhaps it's a political move to push progress.

Disclaimer: I don't care about backwards compatibility, and I look down on anyone who uses legacy software as a lesser person.

The point is that the internet is an easy place for sexual predators to find new prey, especially social networking site which allow users to provide their full name and address to the entire general public if they'd like. This is an attempt to keep these stupid, cocky kids who think they don't need to protect their personal information from hurting themselves. I suspect that the general consensus among legislators in Illinois is that sexually deviant persons cannot be cured.

I'm logged in, so IDK why that was posted anonymously. -_-

Any bad driver could be the culprit though. I know my Gateway laptop has some driver issues with Windows 7 and they're causing problems both making the system unable to shutdown and causing the battery to drain twice as quickly as it did under Vista.

Regardless of what the answer is to this question, I am wondering if HTML 5 can provide most of the functionality of Javascript without posing as much of a security risk.

He's probably just trying to break $9.0 billion in net worth before he dies so his Wikipedia article can say he got over 9,000 (million). Besides, the man's almost 80 years old. What's long term?
