It's one of the big errors that scifi movies have with lasers in space combat (the other error being that laser pulses move slow enough to be seen).
Hence why I tend to think of them as plasma bolts. It's just that 'laser' sounds cooler than 'plasma bolt'. That, and people are more familiar with lasers.
The Scottish royal line's senior in every sense of the word.
Not for some time I'm afraid - the current monarchy family is the House of Windsor, which was originally part of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. So the current royals are in fact German in lineage:)
Obviously:P Didn't know XNA (which can be used by any.NET language, not just C#) had been deprecated, but I think it'll be like Silverlight - nothing new, but alive nonetheless.
That and most customers have no idea what Linux is. For that matter, they don't even know what Windows is, except for 'that thing shown when you turn the computer on'.
Except that Apple doesn't have proprietary connectors.
Name any smartphone that uses an iPhone connector, but isn't an iPhone. I won't wait though - still got another 50+ years on this planet, and I aim to use all of them.

Care to volunteer? :P
Kill-switches guarantee a kill, the close button doesn't. So it's not a kill-switch.
There's a fair few third-party replacement Windows shells out there too.
I bet you are the type of idiot who designs software without dead-man switches and other such fail safe mechanisms.
So, where's the dead-man's switch in Firefox?

I thought the big argument was who shot first, Han or Greedo?

Microsoft confirmed that it allows only publishers of disc games to offer download games.
On Xbox One. That limitation doesn't apply to Xbox 360.

And what would that "convenience" be, exactly ?
The convenience of being able to yodel the Copacabana, obviously.
Why do the different Linux distributions need to get MS to accept those shims again ?
They don't, but you can't put a price on convenience.
99.999% of real conversations in PC World:
GM/JP: Can I check my e-mail on it?
Salesman : Yes.
GM/JP: Can I watch cat videos on it?
Salesman : Yes.
GM/JP: Shut up and take my money!
Yeah, it was a bit silly. And I think we've deviated too far from the original discussion.
You're so right! How dare MS try to make a profit?
You do realise Spy Handler said nothing about what Apple does? Instead he said MS was copying Apple.
I would, but I figured I'd leave it to professionals.
Oh, how silly of me. I mean, it's not like all other phone makers have standardised on Micro USB.
Oh, wait, they did.
It's the best selling after the iPad, so I doubt Amazon are too worried about it.
When you're sitting on a pile of cash bigger than Kilimanjaro, then you can afford it.
Hopefully not like 1983.
Unfortunately the Ouya doesn't use the Play store
Hasn't hurt the Kindle Fire.
If iPhone used USB, then you wouldn't need one of these.
Except that Apple doesn't have proprietary connectors.

Yes, a plastic film, or a clear plastic cover will often foil the plate readers.
No, they won't. They barely have an effect at all.
