LOL. I didn't find out until today!

Sorry, no time for a Nielsen check.

Old news. That's at least a year old, maybe more.

When does old news become very old news?
Considering this is Technology related and the pace technology moves at, considering this was posted in April 2013 does that make it Ancient History rather than 'old news'

No need for a Nielsen check it is only 15 months old....probability of a repost is high, but unless memory technology has improved in the grey matter, the [majority of? ] folks here wont remember.

5th paragraph
"Foley is very careful to maintain a semantic distance between "Threshold" and "Windows 9." Many people think the terms are synonymous, but longtime Chinese leaker Faikee continues to maintain that they are two separate products, possibly headed in different directions."

Keep your story straight; there is no Windows 9.
|
|

Windows Threshold is not Windows 9, is my original story, and as far as I was aware Windows 9 did not exist, and except for a potential leak that could be fake - it still doesn't exist.

Problem is that you are an ignorant fool who knows very little. You are like the person who, when others are admiring a sunset, snidely remarks that "the sun never sets" and then keeps repeating it ad nauseam.
Threshold is Microsoft's internal code name for the next version of Windows, whatever it may be called commercially. This is an R&D project, so some feature will be implemented early while others will be dropped entirely, perhaps permanently or maybe pushed off to a service pack or next major release.
You screaming that this isn't so just makes you an ignorant fool. Then, like most ignorant fools, when you are proven wrong, you change your argument or claim that you never said something you clearly said. Worse comes to worse, you simply deny reality; you look at the sun and claim it's the moon.

Quote: I'm from wales
...and yet you can't spell it properly. "Wales" is a proper noun (a country name) and should therefore be capitalized.
If you can't get the name of the country of your birth right, how are we expected to respect anything you say?

What act would make me a criminal? This reply? You are very sensitive considering your strong but pointless stance!

Any act defined under actus rea. Your mens rea qualifies as criminal.
|
|
|
|
|
So you are accusing me of being capable of being a criminal - despite no actual evidence - and therefore classing me as a criminal. Interesting premise... "Guilty, regardless of proof." I believe the trash media use this method especially for celebrities!
By the way, I did a degree in Law before moving up to Computer Science so your Latin legalisms do not impress me.

In order to be guilty; both Actus reas and mens rea have to be satisfied. Mens rea is a mind set. Technically there are a few situations that don't require the act to happen, such as in attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder, which I am not accusing you of.

Quote: Technically there are a few situations that don't require the act to happen, such as in attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder,
Actually the criminal act in these cases are the attempt to commit murder and the conspiracy to commit murder respectively so the "act" (which is not the murder itself) still has to happen. What you are mixing up is what is the actual "act" under prosecution.Quote: which I am not accusing you of
Glad to hear it!

Conspiracy to commit a theft is not a crime, it's a preparation of the crime before the act of importance, in English it is an action someone can do, but it is not an act that can make someone guilty without the acts leading to murder.
Attempted murder is a bad I see now, because an attempted robbery is still a robbery, the second crime that fits in the category is terrorism sorry.

Quote: Conspiracy to commit a theft is not a crime
In the UK (and many other countries) it is:
There must be an agreement between two or more persons. The mens rea of conspiracy is a separate issue from the mens rea required of the substantive crime.
Lord Bridge in R v Anderson - quoted in R v Hussain said:
"an essential ingredient in the crime of conspiring to commit a specific offence or offences under section 1(1) of the Act of 1977 is that the accused should agree that a course of conduct be pursued which he knows must involve the commission by one or more of the parties to the agreement of that offence or those offences".
Lord Bridge in R v Anderson also said:
"But, beyond the mere fact of agreement, the necessary mens rea of the crime is, in my opinion, established if, and only if, it is shown that the accused, when he entered into the agreement, intended to play some part in the agreed course of conduct in furtherance of the criminal purpose which the agreed course of action was intended to achieve. Nothing less will suffice; nothing more is required."
It is not therefore necessary for any action to be taken in furtherance of the criminal purpose in order for a conspiracy offence to have been committed. This distinguishes a conspiracy from an attempt (which necessarily does involve a person doing an act) see Criminal Attempts Act 1981.
I am not sure about the US as my Law degree is from the UK and Mercans are, legally, a bit weird sometimes.

I took criminal psychology so I briefly skimmed over all the laws.
"The mens rea of conspiracy is a separate issue from the mens rea required of the substantive crime." which in a way was what I was trying to say.
FYI I am not American
