Except part of an OS is security. Just like you wouldn't keep an old skeleton key on the front door of your business because of the risk of someone breaking in, you may feel it isn't worth the risk to use an old OS that has an obs

Owning is the key. If you've got a 30 year mortgage you do not own your home. You only own part of it. Once a home is paid off, the equation changes. I would also make an exception for houses that are very expensive as they will have l

Totally! The one and only time that I tried to get a taxi at my house, which is in a suburb of a major metro area in the US, I was told it would be a 45 minutes wait. I waited the 45 and nobody showed and I called again. 30 more minutes. No

The Air Force wants fighter pilots to end up as generals. In order to do that and compete in the promotion system that is in place in the Air Force, they need to do more than just fly. The fact is that the Air Force wants officers first and

In Rome I can think of one church (San Clemente Basilica) that was built on top of a pagan temple, which then had another church built on top of it, which then had the current church built on top of it. You can in fact tour all levels of i

Everyone has thought that automation would eliminate the jobs for a hundred years. In a way it has come true as some jobs that existed before no longer exist, but so far other jobs have been created to take their place. Nobody really knows

As far as points 1 and 2, the F-22 was designed to shoot down other planes. The F-35 was designed for a large variety of roles. As far as point 3, that's a tough one. Nobody truly knows what detection technology will be like in 20 yea
