But the search built into the start menu is better for the general user than search previously available. It's easy to find and launch programs (what I primarily use it for), and it shows documents/music/normal files that people often look for.

For a power user or anyone that does development, it's pretty useless - many times I've stuck queries in the search and then had to tell it to try again, this time look at ALL the files.

Obviously he wanted to browse the whole world wide web. Wouldn't want to miss a new site!

Most website won't hash your password on the client anyways because that's sort of pointless (an attacker could just replicate the process). It's perfectly possible the server has one function that hashes the password and stores it in the database, then emails the login details in a confirmation email.

Sending out password info in email raises a whole new set of security issues for the user (intercepted or email hacked).

I didn't say it was a proclamation by the North - you can read the secession papers - they mention slavery.

Slavery was the primary reason for the war - it was the reason the southern states seceded (generally thought to be illegal), in turn forcing the north into the war to preserve the union. Southerners wanted to take their slaves to Northern states where they wanted Federal law to protect them, but at the same time they also didn't want any new laws limiting slavery.

Lincoln wasn't a fan of slavery (part of the reason the south seceded), so he made abolishing it a part of the war and law. He didn't initiate the war (the south started that by attacking supply ships sent to Fort Sumter and the taking of Federal forts.

Definitely not hiring you if my stock is going to go down 25%

Did the software beep enough? It needs to beep for each magnitude you zoom in.

Best if every face scanned is shown on screen next to the original and beep.

I think he's saying the house costs $60k to build, but because of the land value it costs $415k to buy. The same house in the middle of no where would be a different value.

Do all questions need to have a purpose? I bet you complain about the lack of options on the polls too.

How about instead of an increased minimum wage, we abolish it and provide a minimum income for people. At that point employers lose the upper hand in forcing people to take low wages to survive and instead they have to compete with pay and benefits people think fit the job.

Of course there are issues with funding that (higher taxes on the rich would work best) and it would work better on a sliding scale so people that do work get more money, it doesn't just get taken out of their minimum

Or it was taking the Skynet approach and preemptively blocking the largest vulnerability - people using the system

They probably had the commercial version which autoupdates as soon as it can, and they thought that was great. Why they had A/V on their servers (or were using windows servers) is another question...

That's crazy - a ban infringing our liberties and legal bean enthusiasts won't help.

The only way to stop a bad person with an assault bean is to have a good guy with an assault bean.

I said severe austerity - obviously they didn't full out because that would have destroyed their economy even more, but it's clear from the trend what would have happened.

That article seems to have forgotten Ireland which went through some severe austerity (hundreds of thousands left the country, most public sector took a 20% pay cut). While their government is slowly recovering now, I don't think you'll find many Irish happy with the situation.
