Heh. I remember interviews with Alex St. John, where he outlined the history of DirectX, gradually rewriting all of DOS hardware access into the API. It was like virtualization, before virtualization.
This short-hand history does little to explain anything. The XBox did not spring forth from Microsoft, like Athena from the head of Zeus, "because they saw the handwriting on the wall".
Xbox was an extrapolation of work begun, at least, wit the introduction of DirectX in 1995. Equally, the history of MS Flight Simulator must be considered. This was rooted in a time when consoles were just a scroll and jump away from Pong.

Well, it makes Los Angeles the arse. San Diego is the perineum, always smeared with the fecal detrius of it's neighbor.
San Francisco is the sensitive small-of-the-back...
I suggest that they rename TSA to STASI or maybe NKVD.

Mint is wonderful. I have been very pleased, with 10 and 11.
The "Husse" fortunes, are a reason to switch, all on their own. ;-)
If they keep the network proxy controls from Gnome2 on Gnome 3, I will then be a happy man with 12.
Different strokes for different folks...
I get first dibs on trying to make some time with evil Uhura, when she shows up!
If shes' evil, why is her name still "Freedom"?
Don't worry. What will they pay for it with?
Euros?
Har! It's to larf, really!
God.
Windows will ALWAYS suck. It's a universal constant.
Get that NOW.
Look at the "Metro" phone 7. WHAT THE FUCK is that ENORMOUS black bar eating 20% of available screen real estate!!???!
Seriously. I need a fucking, moron GUI control with a tiny arrow on it to know I can swipe sideways?
Hey, Ballmer, YOU WILL NEVER GET A FUCKING CLUE! YOU WILL ALWAYS SUCK! You can't even chase Apple with half the incompetence of Google!
Metro is a turd, and there's no polishing it.
Invertebrate, is the word that comes to my mind.
Bitch is evil.

What "architecture"?
I can't believe you guys will listen to Ali G and Borat on neurology or genetics.
The RACE to PALLADIUM!
Who'll get there first? Apple? Intel/McAfee?

From my cold, dead hands...
Back when I proposed that OWS topple statues of Ronald Reagan, I wasn't actually sure if any had been established.
But now, we have the object for our contempt: Nine foot statues of the Patron Saint of Corporate Fascism.
Read this closely, and I think we can discover from where Cain derived his '9, 9, 9".
If you crack the head open, is there a miniature, bronze GHW Bush, spinning knobs and pulling puppet-levers?
I AM OZYMANDIAS! KING of MOTHERFUCKING KINGS! LOOK UPON MY WORKS, OH YE MIGHTY MOTHERFUCKERS, AND DESPAIR!
Hah Hah! You dumped the English King for some Zionist Death Cult!
And the horse they rode in on.
On the WELL_HUNG loss.
Snark has its place, but first, have some simple regard for a man who's lost his Father.

What you say makes sense if you aren't publicly traded, I guess.
Business is the land of Arse Coverage. Unless you are Google, or a startup, you buy the support.
Otherwise? You are the accountable party - were you responsible for a perceived incident, or not.

For god sake! Nothing against CentOS - but it's three guys with Rsync and a listserv. One of them went missing at a key moment, a couple years back!
