Windows 8.1: Read this BEFORE updating - especially you, IT admins

Sanity Soapbox

It matters not what MSFT's rationale is for forcing separate downloads for each upgrade. The fact is -- it's simply stupid and unnecessary -- yet another overpaid bonehead in Redmond.

Microsoft Surface sales numbers revealed as SHOCKINGLY HIDEOUS

Sanity Soapbox

I knew from the beginning the Surface RT would be an abysmal failure. Its lack of support for Windows applications alone guaranteed that. The Surface Pro is another matter entirely.

Re: Ironic

A further irony -- you quote from a book that patently and repeatedly refutes your position, and it also happens to be irrelevant to my statements. Your argument, sir, is self-defeating and nonsensical. From the vacuity of your logic so far, I can see it will be a waste of time to respond further.

Ironic

The blind faith in evolutionary hypotheses never ceases to baffle me. Those who claim their belief in evolution follows from logical, scientific thinking continue to demonstrate a predilection for ignoring the obvious in favor of their personal "faith", as seen in the language of this article. Ergo, the more amazing the design found in life systems, the less these "enlightened", evolutionary contemporaries surmise design or reasoning. The more complexity, specificity, and (let's face it) brilliance we seem to observe in tiny animals like bees, we still bafflingly blurt out "IT'S AN ACCIDENT!"

Give me a logic break.

SpaceShipOne man, Nobel boffins: Don't panic on global warming

Meh

It's been done before

Such "open letters" have been tried before. But the establishment (educational, scientific, political and media) is what ends up being in control of public perception, and temporary furor over a published open letter highlighting the "dirty little controversy" is soon forgotten.

The only way this controversy won't be buried by the established manipulators of public perception is if someone (or organization) carries the torch and keeps this issue fresh before the public eye. This will of course earn them villification by the powers that be and will bring with it other significant costs (grants, recognition, etc.)
