Re: OK, now we descend into the STOLEN election
The ruling in this case is consistent with the sixty or so other rulings adverse to Trump. Those rulings were made by judges across the political spectrum (including judges appointed by Trump). So how do you suppose a Trump appointed judge should rule? I guess this Obama appointed judge just went al...

Re: OK, now we descend into the STOLEN election
George- If you have personal knowledge of fraud in the election in PA, you should contact the President’s attorneys. I’m sure they would be overjoyed to hear from you. If you don’t have personal knowledge, then what you have is a belief based on hearsay or hearsay on hearsay. Hearsay may prove that ...

Re: OK, now we descend into the STOLEN election
In one of the latest lawsuits frivolously (and falsely) alleging fraud in the election one of the declarations (which appears to be an affidavit) asserts the declarant witnessed something fishy in “Edison County in Michigan.” There is no “Edison County” in Michigan, or apparently anywhere else in th...

It was also a wide spread belief that computer would develop the potential to think for themselves and emulate human beings as early as 1950, well 64 years after 1950, we still haven't made a convincing one yet, the closest things aren't truly convincing, rather a little freakish.

Pretty much self explanatory. I don’t need: power adapter, battery, ram, hard drive, hard drive caddy or ultrabay drive.

Re: When did you first start using the trackpoint and why?
In early November, 1992 I bought a ThinkPad 700 and I’ve been a trackpoint user since. Unlike George I don’t disable the touchpad, I just never use it. I haven’t owned, or regularly used, a desktop computer since 1998 and have never used an external mouse, keyboard or monitor with a ThinkPad. Appare...

I don’t have the knowledge to agree, disagree or criticize anyone’s assertions here. I am, however, puzzled. A few posts up precip9 states: TDP is the relevant figure. It's not some harmless "guideline." In a subsequent post, precip9 quotes a comment stating: “Forget about TDP. It's a very misleadin...

Re: Rant about 16:9, and maybe switching back to X60t from T520
In a free market, isn’t the “Purpose” of every business maximizing market share and profit? If that’s the case, selling what the mass market wants (or accepts) is a reasonable means of achieving the “Purpose”. It doesn’t seem reasonable to me to rant against Lenovo for doing what’s in Lenovo’s best ...

Regarding your #1, the question shouldn’t be whether the OP or anyone else considers his idea legal, but whether Microsoft does. The answer to that question is clearly no.
