As Isaac Asimov wrote, the most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I've found it!), but "That's funny...".
Seems to me that Microsoft should pony up for a short-range tram, bus, or rail. People don't need to drive their cars everywhere, especially if there are a lot of people in a relatively small area mostly going to the same places.
Keep in mind, when you're being taught to code in University, that self-taught coders tend to write stuff that mostly works but is hell to maintain, because of poor style, lack of comments, poor design, or whatever.
You will be taught things like coding style, how to use comments, object orientation, etc. It sucks to have to start over from scratch, but you will hopefully learn to make maintainable, re-usable code. These skills will make going back to update your code five years later much easier.
Actually, yes. I'll give anyone who's not a complete douchebag at least a modicum of respect because they are fellow human beings. That includes "please" and "thank you" and not treating them like dirt because they have a crappy job.
Let me lecture a bit here. I didn't used to respect other people much, and after being more experienced at life (I'm only 29), I have decided that this was because I didn't respect myself, and I didn't. Now that I have some actual self-respect, that naturally gets reflected on other people as well.
If you routinely don't respect other people, take a good hard look at yourself and ask if you respect yourself.
Not literally filled, and I would expect a pistol's effectiveness at penetrating the case would depend on whether the pistol round is FMJ and what material the case is made of. And there's shotgun slugs.
Exactly. It's fun to get an old computer case (sometimes with the guts still in it), fill it up with Tannerite, and shoot it with a rifle or other firearm.
Velociraptor drives are vertically thicker than laptop 2.5" drives. Apple places a premium on being small, so I'd be surprised if the Mini's drive bays are big enough for a VR.
It was still more difficult than it needed to be to remove disk drives from those towers. The IDE and power cables were just long enough to reach where the needed to go, but that meant that removing them could be a chore, and drive screws could also be difficult to remove and install.
It'd be really cool if it's named Serenity and then one of the crew brings up an unofficial bit of "nose art" that's a copy of Serenity-from-Firefly's.
Not the National Guard. Nominally the Guard is controlled by the state's governor. ISTR that elements of the Army's 101st Airborne Division were called in to settle at least one integration dispute in the South.
Wrong. FAT does not support permissions of any kind. VFAT adds long file names, which is done by using half of a given directory's entries for long filenames and the remainder as the standard 8.3 short names.
If you were talking about FAT attributes (archive, read-only, hidden, system, volume label), those are done with flag bits.
IMO the DS2 controller's configuration is pretty good. My gripe with it is that the thumbsticks are both too sensitive and not sensitive enough, if that makes any sense. Try playing a game like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and aiming your guns with the thumbsticks, and contrast that to aiming in $FPS with a keyboard and mouse.
Maybe it would help if Sony shipped a utility in their consoles to adjust sensitivity and dead zones that overrides anything in the game.

I'm curious about the engineering reasons for using one really big chute instead of a cluster of smaller ones as on the Apollo command module.
He's one of the highest wanking men in all of Wome.
$DEITY help us all.
He doesn't. He uses a batch program to download Web pages that he's interested in, and views them offline (probably in Emacs). Yes, really.

And semi-dirty to dirty politicking if that doesn't convince them. Remember Massachusetts.

Until just recently FreeBSD installs always failed in VirtualBox.
No, that's for child molesters and people who talk in the theater.
Aren't you glad this was caught in testing? Yeah, I am too.
Just wrap it in tinfoil; you'll be fine.
Your sig is an atrocious pun.
It should co-star Bruce Campbell and Nathan Fillion.

So? The car industry drove buggy manufacturers and their suppliers out of business, and we got along just fine without them. Adapt or die.
