'Converse' is a different word than 'conversely'. They mean different things. Since you're advocating learning words, I'd advise you to learn what 'condescending' and 'douchebag' mean but you probably already know those ones, they're easy.
It's kind of funny how many people assume the Pro has an ARM and it's an overpriced premium iPad competitor. I'd love to get one, or something similar, but can't justify the price. =) Of any of them.
It's a term that's come into use to describe an effect. If you go by the dictionary term of pollution, no, you are correct, taken literally 'light pollution' does not exist. But the phenomena the term is associated with does. So call it whatever you like, if it makes you feel better about the dictionary's feelings.
As simplistic as that is, it's almost right. I'm still on Windows due to one thing only: I'm a hopeless World of Tanks addict who has to suffer ATI Linux drivers. If that shit was cleared up, done and done I'd have a KDE Linux as my only OS.
Quite apart from all this wonderful science being thrown around, which is quite beyond poor old me, would there even be enough waste water being left by the rockets to account for these vasty high clouds? They're very small things, comparatively. And as slew mentions, if it were airplane contrails, there's a lot more air traffic than surface-to-space.
Metro alone makes it a disaster? I haven't added any Start Menu mods or done anything to enhance my perceived usability of Win8 yet somehow I only ever manage to see Metro once during a session, on startup. Does half a second of visible Metro ruin peoples' days that much that it swings it from 'Win7 with improvements' right to full-blown 'disaster'?
I would think it's because XP doesn't require nearly as much horsepower for a VM as the latest Linux Mint, especially when all you want to do is surf the web.
I've tried these. It's very hard to play on a phone. I thought 'Hey, cool, I can play DCSS... on my PHONE!'
It's not the same. It's a lot worse, in fact. Much squinting and cursing my sausage fingers -- yeah, I could use a stylus and still have a squinty-sized screen, or I could whip out my laptop.
Lots of enjoyable, cheap, pre-existing games that suddenly have to be used with game controllers. Or, hell, use your iThing as a controller but then why don't you just play the damn game on that.
I wouldn't want to put my name on code by someone who had to put his name on my code in the first place because he was so crappy. That's like someone putting his name on my masterpiece work of art, and in retaliation I put my name on his stick-figure drawing.
MS is still relevant because of lock-in and OS inertia. I still use XP on my work network and we may... may see an upgrade to Win7 late this year or early next year. Maybe. A big, nationwide installation can't change direction on a dime. But I didn't need to point that out, did I?

How many eagle deaths power America? C'mon, you gotta phrase it like that, really put the boot to the feels. It's like you're not even trying.

Your idea of what is truly usable must be astonishingly preschool.
But let's not allow that to get in the way of a good old circle jerk of Microsoft hate.
Can you install Yellow Dog on your latest Mac Pro?
Why did you even consider this? What did you expect from a consumer-grade cellular phone? Honestly?

I finally got to see this late last year and it was worth the wait, excellent documentary.

Or it could be, yknow, people just don't want to shell out for a night at the movies anymore.
This is how things like Skynet get started.
Well, you know, it's like Rasputin. Poisoned, shot, beaten and drowned. Gotta make sure it stays dead.
Calling Android users 'switching to Linux' is like calling casual Angry Birds and Candy Crush players 'gamers'.

Are you a fan of rusty chainsaws?

Because Angry Birds is Serious Gaming(tm).

Same. I can't get World of Tanks going nicely on Linux (I blame ATI drivers) and I'm not into rebooting every time I want to game.

More like 'Things aren't/won't be changing as dramatically as some people think'.
