And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Rev 13:17
No he has many more options than that. He did not need to respond at all, he does not need answer to anyone or is liable for anything, read the licence. If it was me and I was inclined to comment at all, I would just say: "Well shit, fuck me for trying. If you think you can do better - please do."
Success is always attributed to the extraordinary skill and foresight of the winner: http://psychology.about.com/od.... Queue the endless blogs and Forbes' deep analysis heaping accolades on Jan and his demonstrable $16B greatness. Good on Jan for striking it lucky, spare a thought for the thousands, just as worthy, that the dice did not favor, nothing more nothing less.
That rebound was just a hop of the ball rolling down the hill. Once the permafrost is 30% gone the climate hysteresis curve flips to the hot side. No gradual slide, no slow "glacial change", rapid, furious, chaotic and violent ringing around the new norm.
I don't get it. If it so old it should be an ember by now, or does it still radiate ? If its only 6k ly from here then it still radiates right ? Also, if it is so old it should have 'expanded' away enormously.... or not.
Its like finding a live dinosaur in your back yard.
You know I don't really care about the number of humans the impeding environmental crisis will kill off, the more the better, as long as its not me of course, and it will take at least 50 years, by which time I will be dragged to my grave by my fat ass. In all probability it will be some brown nobody that cooks his food over a dung fire in Asstonia, and who gives a fuck about that ?
What concerns me more is the sterile wasteland the survivors will create. I mean its nice to "conserve" some splatter of greenery somewhere out of town siting in front of your TV in your underpants, drinking craft beer, but I'll wager not much will stop you bulldozing that shit down to feed your starving kids.
I can't help to feel a bit of both schadenfreude and melancholy. Being a westerner myself, I wonder if Neil Stephenson were more of a prophet than a futurist.
Why anyone, today, would chose Windows for "embedded" products, is completely beyond me. WTAF ?
I would really like to see and try to understand the decision tree that lead to this outcome. If only to guard agains it in my own organisation.
So what if you have many dup's ? Keep all on disk and know that you will have it on hand in the very unlikely event that you'll need something from five years ago.
Spend $300 on a few more disks and get on with your life. Perfection is the enemy of the good.
is doing so much good in the world while our fine leaders frolic in filth and foolish dumbfuckery... the hell is the world coming too ? Is nothing sacred ?
Oh wait, metro,.... balance restored.
Revelation 13:17
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark - "If any," observes Bishop Newton, "dissent from the stated and authorized forms; they are condemned and excommunicated as heretics; and in consequence of that they are no longer suffered to buy or sell; they are interdicted from traffic and commerce, and all the benefits of civil society. So Roger Hoveden relates of William the Conqueror, that he was so dutiful to the pope that he would not permit any one in his power to buy or sell any thing whom he found disobedient to the apostolic see. So the canon of the council of Lateran, under Pope Alexander III., made against the Waldenses and Albigenses, enjoins, upon pain of anathema, that no man presume to entertain or cherish them in his house or land, or exercise traffic with them. The synod of Tours, in France, under the same pope, orders, under the like intermination, that no man should presume to receive or assist them, no, not so much as hold any communion with them, in selling or buying; that, being deprived of the comfort of humanity they may be compelled to repent of the error of their way." In the tenth and eleventh centuries the severity against the excommunicated was carried to so high a pitch, that nobody might come near them, not even their own wives, children, or servants; they forfeited all their natural legal rights and privileges, and were excluded from all kinds of offices. The form of excommunication in the Romish Church is to take lighted torches, throw them upon the ground with curses and anathemas, and trample them out under foot to the ringing of the bells. It is in this and similar ways that the false prophet has terrified the Latin world, and kept it in subjection to the secular and spiritual powers. Those interdicted by the two-horned beast from all offices of civil life are also such as have no

I'm sure the project will appreciate your patches.

He has no reason to. He gave it a best effort shot given the resources. If you can do better, fucking do it.

And why not, she can eat whatever she wants, its her right, right ? I mean its not like you need a vagina to eat shrooms and die.
eaters. But there are no old, bold mushroom eaters.
Not construction. A manager that insists to manage a R&D project as a construction project is going to have a bad time.

Not all violence is committed against humans.

I really do.

Yes, so did I, a bit. But then I watched this one and all is good again... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShbP3OpASA

The MBA classes do teach that the higher you pay a person the harder they will work (not the opposite)
You were taught wrong

This. Your offence is your problem. I don't control the way you react, you do. If you don't like that, fuck off.
It pains me to say it, but he's no idiot...
