  1. Prawn biryani can be a safe bet. Depending on what you're betting on getting.

  2. In most of what I've known of Europe, there are two kinds of pizza:
    - Italian restaurant pizza: The one that will be nice if the restaurant is ok and only really good if the restaurant is actually in Italia.
    - Fast food pizza: Domino's, Pizza hut, etc. One interesting thing about fast food pizza is that a lot of people prefer the American brands, with thicker, greasier pizzas. The other interesting thing about fast food pizza is that it bears little resemblance to actual pizza.

    When you've got a dish with three core ingredients: mass, cheese and tomato; and you change all three to a different mass, a different cheese and some kind of red paste, it's a different dish.

    I enjoy both kinds of pizza just as I enjoy true hamburgers and the meat sandwich you can eat at a McDonald's.

    I did put a music CD in my computer, but the OS I use isn't stupid enough to automatically install any software it finds on a CD.

    Joke's on you. That's why you need an emulator.

    Autorunning CD rootkits is a small price to pay for a browser with XBOX controller capabilities!

    And with "only IE11 matters" you mean "I could prove to your client, beyond reasonable doubt, that no person in an entire country will try to connect to their web page with any IE from any previous version."?

    "Microsoft is looking to create a more open dialog between the Internet Explorer team and the Web development community [...] This preview release even offers support of the emerging Gamepad API, allowing you to use your Xbox controller to play games in IE!"

    At least they identified the core issue: The dialog between the IE team and the Web dev community; as proved by every single word after that.

    Support of XBOX controllers? Seriously?

    I'd like to make a poll between the entire human population of web developers.

    The (completely unbiased) question would be: "why does the acronym IE make you gag?" just to see which one replies "Lack of support of XBOX controllers!"

    Seeing does not equate recording and publishing on the internet.

    What do you think would be the result of someone going to a nude beach and record everyone with a gopro? Well, the drone would be the same thing but less reachable.

    They are still at $1000 but once these toys fall below a tenth of that price, some things will have to change.

    It will start with laws to regulate their possession and fines for illicit uses, but it will also promote a business of countermeasures.

    Nude beaches, celebrity mansions, "secret" open air activities or even high end hotels that want to guarantee some degree of privacy to their customers, will want a way to block their use.

    Whoever knows how to make an anti-drone device better patent it quickly and put it on Amazon for hundreds of bucks. Clients will soon come.

    Really? the number of atoms that form an object isn't a positive integer?

    The amount of apparent thought behind that statement is not a positive integer.
