wont: one's customary behavior in a particular situation.

want: have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for.

Boy, boy, stop fighting with yourself.

The personal failings of one man seem mighty inconsequential against the failings of government and large corporations that have been exposed by Wikileaks. The latter definitely does not deserve national and international media hype at the same time that the former is getting buried.

Gah, you Capitalists and your pedantry!

Nintendo games are too much of a chore to play these days. I just don't have the time to put up with slow dialog scrolls that can't be skipped or hours of tutorializing on systems and controls that have been standard for decades. Even if they put their games on other hardware I'd probably avoid their games, and I'm definitely not going to buy their hardware to put up with that crap on maybe three or four games I'd have any interest in for the lifetime of the device.

Nintendo may not need to change to survive, but they definitely need to change to win back customers like me.

I like Windows 8 and don't care how many idiots with mod points think otherwise. With Windows 8.1 they've decided to waste space on the taskbar for a completely pointless Start screen button, so it'll unfortunately have to suck my balls for now.

At the current download speeds it's going to take 2+ years to finish. Pretty inconvenient when you have to download everything to get at even one of the contained files.

Of course I don't actually give a fuck, since I don't have anywhere near enough time to waste on 20 year old arcade games. But if I were the sort to want any of this, it'd be a rather long wait to get anything.

Because Windows 8 is better?

GP is saying that the amount of electricity being "wasted" by the bulbs in the form of heat would be more efficiently turned into heat using a furnace.

I don't see that much difference. What are you talking about?

Simple solution: abolish sales taxes. So easy!

Windows piracy is one of the major factors keeping Linux down. Linux doesn't 'work out of the box' in the same way that Windows does, and it's always a bit disheartening to come up across a glitch which there is seemingly no solution for (I couldn't get Minecraft to stop crashing after I got a new ATI card for example) but most of these things would be tolerable if your copy of Windows was £99 (your local currency may vary). However for a large chunk of the population readily available pirated copies of Windows 7 means that Windows is effectively free too, thus removing pretty much the only benefit that most people would see.

People still using XP are doing so because of legacy software? Likely to be businesses which have some tech minded people behind them. Most savvy home users have moved onto Windows 7, as Vista was a pile of shit. Those left using Vista are the Moms who send emails full of cats.

'Microsoft Windows is really so much harder to use than Ubuntu. Everything on Ubuntu just works' This just isn't true though. Sure you might have to do more things to protect your Windows machine than your Ubuntu, but when you do need to do anything, even mundane things, with Ubuntu it's much more complicated for the average user (think the sort of character whose computer spends more time as a botnet than not). Mention to my Dad, or many of my less tech-savy friends the concept of 'sudo' and they'll just glaze over. For most people it's Windows that 'just works' not Ubuntu.
