Um ya... actually the words "Microsoft Investors" in the title imply any integer above 1. The more interesting thing is how much financial and boardroom clout those insurgents might be wielding.
So the passing of an author who is popular amongst nerds and geeks gets mentioned here (all due respect to Clancy) while the obituaries of much more significant pioneers of geeky, nerdy things are routinely dropped from consideration after submission. It happens again and again. It seems like popularity trumps significance. How about an Obituary Section?
Not overzealous. Entitled. U.S. border personnel are judge, jury, and executioner all in one, with no means for victims to appeal nor seek any form of recourse. Thumbs up, thumbs down, that's all she wrote.
Precisely. The amount of personal authority given to border personnel in the U.S.A. is utterly absurd, such that even the slightest notion in the person's mind towards denying entry is sufficient grounds to bar a person for life, all in a matter of seconds, with no oversight, no due process, nor any recourse to appeals nor review. It has become a situation of "little Hitlers" at the U.S. border.
Note that the memo is presented here by Xconomy, which happens to have this guy as a member 'Xconomist'. So, read just the memo if you care, but skip the puffery all around it.
Either the students have built a ship-inspecting robot, or they have built a ship while they were inspecting a robot. Pretty good reason to RTFA, I suppose, or I'll never know.
Ben Rothke nails it: "Loshin doesn't do the wholesale cut and paste like he did from the RFC books, but on the other side, doesn't offer much added information than the reader can get online." So, no particular value-added in Loshin's books. Well said.
Riiiiiighttttt... they're asking all "potential troublemakers" to come on in and get on their big, happy, new list. Just wait, some day the long knives will come out.
Hey, we should set up a system that texts our doctors immediately when it is time to shift to different antibiotics, in order to combat the absolute latest resistant bacteria. Unfortunately we'll have to come up with quadrillions of $ of "support" funds to re-educate most of them from relying on Big Pharma for directions on what they should do (i.e. "Just keep giving out full-spectrum XYZocillin, it's grrrrrrrrrrr-eat!")
Ah yes, good 'ol character assassination is alive and well here. Never mind the accolades Ahonen has received over the years, nor his lectures at Oxford, nor his authoritative books, nor his amazingly accurate record of predictions in the Mobile Phone industry, year after year, nor his personal network of staffers at almost every Mobile Phone company and provider in the world... nor how many times he made other supposed expert analysts look like fools (ZDnet, Howard Forums, etc. etc.)
I'm not sure whom I dislike more, Apple for having the unmitigated audacity to try the Lightning Pin4/Pin8 con job, or Monster Cables, a company that undoubtedly wishes they had thought it up first. I sure hope some independent lab tests will be done soon that show no harm from third party controllers. It would be a real treat to watch consumer legal actions if we knew for certain that the special Apple cables have no technically unique purpose other than to cause consumers to buy them out of FUD.

Having read all of their correspondence beforehand, Gates was always one step ahead of the plotters.
I wasn't the first Godwin-er in this thread. I was only following orders.
I just heard that Walter White is dead at age 52. Everyone who loves chemistry will be mourning the Nobel winner.

...and don't forget the good ol' Bellamy Salute, as American as apple pie.

Take it out on Samsung for doing evil, or at the very least getting caught at it.
I love Slate's take on this. When you read it, substitute "Venezuela", "Uganda", or "Myanmar" for "America".

Goldie, how many times have I told you guys that I don't want no horsin' around...
ooooops, wrong movie.
Tough room, kid. Go work the borscht belt for a few years.
Note to old school eavesdroppers: don't get rid of all your parabolic dish microphones just yet.
So they'll complete Hurd 1.0 just in time for the 2038 bug! That gives them 23 more years to go completely 64-bit by then.
30 years for Hurd 0.5, so 1.0 will be available in 2043?

Rrrrrriiiiiiiiiight. You can claim that Tomi Ahonen is a moron all you like, but it doesn't reflect well upon your discernment.
Yeah, but Tomi Ahonen is a moron.
Ah yes, good 'ol character assassination is alive and well here.

Tomi Ahonen has the formula down perfectly, with explanations:
ELOP EFFECT = RATNER EFFECT + OSBORNE EFFECT

Now we see why big corporations retain batteries of lawyers to write voluminous "I Agree" waivers.
