...so what could possibly go wrong?

Don't let the hippies hear you suggest that fission is a naturally occurring process. They might...

*sunglasses*

...go nuclear.

Screaming and throwing feces at each other? It would be an improvement.

It would certainly make philbusters more interesting.

I'm with you on this one. Considering that every copy of XP that I have seen since 2001 has been a pirated copy, I see a lack of common sense in this argument. In addition, while XP was a great OS at the time, in comparison, it Blue Screens left and right. I have yet to see a Blue Screen in Windows 7 or Windows 8, and I have owned both since they were released. They have come a long way, dealing with horribly written code from vendors that would crash the OS. XP also leaves the system vulnerable to so many attacks that are difficult to remediate due to updates in technology. Perhaps that is why China wants people using it though. Easy to backdoor it.

This year alone: Hacking has cost the US over 500,000 jobs (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/25/hackers-jobs_n_3652893.html) Personal details of US soldiers released (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/26/hackers-post-us-troops-personal-details-collateral/?page=all) Have proven hacking Infrastructure (power,water,etc) is easy (http://www.technologyreview.com/news/517731/hacking-industrial-systems-turns-out-to-be-easy/) Hackers have the capability to do everything from finanical destruction of a person, preventing them from ever even being able to rent a home, to hacking into personal vehicles and causing them to wreck while they drive. Should those people not be considered dangerous?

The term Users does not mean Educated Users. Most people using a computer don't understand the magic that makes everything work past hitting the power button. That said, the idea that someone is asking people to stop using Windows because of an application with holes in the code is like asking people to stop driving automobiles because a specific brand of tires is unsafe. Get different tires.

And they run with scissors. You hit the nail on the head. People who are overweight or underweight are not necessarily that way simply due to eating. There may be a pre-existing condition other than too much or too little food. Genetic disposition, mental condition and the individual's overall environment come into play with each and every person. I am lucky enough to have been blessed with great health when it comes to my weight, and I don't even have to work at it. My sister, on the other hand, has to be very strict about her diet and exercise or will quickly gain weight. If the Jiro's comments were true, my sister would be regarded as fat and lazy, while I would be seen as restrained and responsible. I assure you that is simply not the case (as I am eating a pizza by myself right now).

ARRRRGG!!! Not really sure how big a deal Pakistan boycotting would be to begin with. Does anyone have the numbers on PC consumerism for video game sales in Pakistan? I'd be interested if this was even a percentage, although I don't know and it could, in fact, be significant. I doubt it though. Note: Legal consumerism. Not just pirated copies.

In the case of [topic] every practitioner has radically different views of what there [topic] is and they almost all have warped views of the history of there [topic]. Almost all book on a [topic] will give you far more facts about it then any of its practitioners.

Now that I've quelled your anti-religious rant...

As it turns out, if you RTFA, the purpose of the program is to discuss individual experiences and get perspectives. Nothing in the article says anything about obtaining facts. If you want facts, you should stick to books.

but when I do, I DRP-4.
