Fun. So now they realize after they create the chip that they want 20 years of backwards compatibility. The PowerPC knew they wanted this, according to this slashdot article.

3. Spending two nights in customs - just your dignity
4. Getting it all Slashdotted after all that - priceless

By his own admission, Musk is making some grandiose claims -- among them that he will cut the cost of launching up to 1,000 pounds of payload into near-Earth orbit by up to two-thirds, and that he can buck the dismal success rate of space-launch startups.

Wait a second. Grandiose or not, which market is he talking about? The European Space Agency can already lift more for less. So is he talking about taking two-thirds off the American price or the European price?

Heck, for all we know, he's going to take two-thirds off the price Afghanistan would charge you if they had launch capability.

I'd be very impressed if Microsoft actually came out with a command-line only version. The fact that "it's a very tangled subsystem" makes me wonder how possible that would be.

I could see a version of Windows shipping without the GUI enabled, allowing administration only by remote desktop. But for the entire OS to ship with no GUI libraries would be very unlikely.

On the other hand, they've already done it (sort of), look at the .NET CLI. But if they shipped an OS based on just the CLI, it couldn't very well be called "Windows," now could it?

This happens to me when I work from home. We had a baby in March, and I took the following two weeks off, then worked from home the following two weeks after that.

Many family and friends who came over were in shock and awe about my ability to lay on the couch and work. The comments weren't directed at me, but I could tell they weren't impressed, for they know not what I do (code Java).

My dad is a building inspector, and he gets zoning complaints about illegal dwelling modifications. Some are for bedrooms, and some are for offices. Our city will look into things without a formal written complaint. Any drunk idiot can call in complaints to the city.

Most of the complaints are generated by estranged family members or the "Ex." So if you're going to break zoning law, make sure you're on good terms with all of your friends and family, or just don't invite them over during business hours.

...a technology that upgrades live-action 35mm films into the Imax experience.

I don't know if I could call it an upgrade when you have to use Pan & Scan. Sure it's bigger, and more exciting, but you're missing pieces.

If it's anything like "
