More like 4 versions, really. Vista and Windows 7 have already passed the end of mainstream support (meaning that they will basically only get security patches) and even extended support for Vista ends next month (so no security patches either).
Also, what happens if you simply say, No, I'm not going to give you my account passwords? If you are a foreigner then they can refuse you entry but they cannot legally keep you from re-entering the country if you're a citizen. At least not yet and I'd be willing to be that the courts would have a lot to say about any attempt to allow that.
If this catches traction I think you will see a LOT more people making fun of him. Heck, I'm kinda tempted to go do it myself. Unfortunately my state is lacking any sort of anti-slapp law.
The ground in Nashville is not well suited to burying utility lines. It is mostly karst and shallow limestone so you're basically having to cut through a lot of rock to do it. Very slow and exceedingly expensive. Nashville is also a rather large city, geographically speaking, about 525 sq mi (1350 sq km). A few areas, mostly newer subdivisions, do have below ground lines for power, phone etc but they're the exception rather than the rule.
Actually, the majority of the poles in Nashville ARE already owned by the local government via Nashville Electric Service. The property that AT&T is complaining about them seizing is (presumably) the AT&T lines that are being moved.
Except that if you bothered to read the ZDNet article that was linked (especially with the updated statement from Lenovo) it becomes a lot more obvious that MS had nothing to do with it. If you didn't want to read that it was also posted in the comments above.
Punishments for what? Releasing new hardware that doesn't have a driver for every OS? That's going to cut down a lot on new hardware being developed since it will have to maintain that backwards compatibility.
I also didn't realize it was public domain but Mike has mentioned on numerous occasions about how they really didn't care if some other site was scraping Techdirt and reposting it on their own site.
...it's likely that no one would really make the connection that she is even related to the guy making beer. But now there are going to be quite a few Google hits where her name is now linked to the brewery. Good job!
The poles are all owned by Nashville Electric Service (which is a public utility owned by the city). It wouldn't make a lot of sense for the city to pay rent to itself. http://nespower.com/about.html
People don't place Pokemon, they're procedurally generated using an algorithm and they're not permanent. Pokestops/Gyms are permanent but people can't add those either, they were all pulled from locations players submitted for Ingress.
The Olympic logo isn't more than a few pixels. Blur them out, no one will really notice. Say she's on the way to Rio de Janerio. You can't trademark the proper place name in nominative usage.
