This is why I appreciate sites like imdb.com (films reviews), where you have to provide your cell phone number to which IMDB sends a SMS containing a code that you use to activate your reviewer and rater status.
When the wise man points at the moon, the naive looks at the stars behind. Go to the Moon, extract water, create an atmosphere, grow plants. Nobody says it's easy. But the whole is likely to take less time than to go to a "near" star and find a "livable" planet...
- But are there real tangible performance differences compared to Windows 7? - TechSpot has grabbed the RTM version of Windows 8, measuring and testing the performance of various aspects of the operating system
Expected a "... and" followed by the TechSpot answer!
What the point of TFS if one has to read up to TFA?/. writes interesting summaries based on interesting stories.
So we gonna have at the same level an annoying warning from sites that just need a session cookie to ease our users lives, and on the other hand the same warning from Facebook-like sites that require a once warning/cookie to track you the hard way through tons of other unsuspected sites having the Facebook "Like" button. Ridiculous.
Similar to some devices here on Earth, the rover should have an automatic revert solution. For instance, a non-updatable software running on a separate processor detects specific conditions (like no signal from Earth for a while) and flashes back the updatable software to its original version when that condition occurs.
Many managers don't understand that paying 1.5 times a good programmer (compared to a "regular" one) is not only immediately profitable (codes 1.5+ times faster), but in the longer term, the good programmer writes code that requires little adjustment or maintenance and more importantly - this one is even harder for managers to get - writes optimized code based on strong and efficient algorithms.
This being said, I had the chance to participe to some Topcoder SRM with Petr (even in the same "room"), and based on chats and comments, Petr is not only a top programmer, he is also humble, nice and generous in explaining / helping others. I'm glad he joined the Google team as this is probably the best that could happen to him.
On the opposite, the new Unity interface having a kind of "start" button (the top-left one), a control center and customizable startable icons make probably the interface pretty similar to what Windows offers. I has some hard time to get used to Unity (from Gnome 2-3), but it's workable (after the bug fixes).
When asked repeatedly a Microsoft spokesperson refused to confirm or deny that Skype conversations [could be monitored]
Skype was just purchased by Microsoft. This is a wild guess, but the software may not be well written, and MS may still have some hard time to figure out what it does exactly, and where. The MS guy may just have answered out of incompetence.
Agreed. The current trendy html5 doctype is to replace the ridiculously long previous v4- versions - we should soon be offered something like

I owe everything to Windows.

why the NASA engineers want to take such a risk

And you don't know Google search either. What kind of web sites do you build?

After the dinosaur gets a good taste of what is 2012 A.D. compared to 10^8 B.C. he wishes only one thing: to be extinct again.

how about an article on every windows- or android-based trojan
Mac OS Trojans are still pretty exceptional.
The address seems to be located in the UK. Try to arrange a chat at this address, and you get yourself a way to learn the 9 yo UK English :-)
Nope. The hosts file is used to resolve a host name locally (e.g. not via a DNS server).
TFS is about phones - iPhone. Clearly, the competition is currently more on the Android/Samsung side than on Microsoft/Nokia.
...for the Greenlanders.
Listen to the Japanese: no big earthquake? no big tsunami? It's safe.

Take one of the biggest, most popular sites in the world and start driving people away from it
...and Google+ people along with them
Hmm "Die Hard 3" ?
Probably the same kind of attention the serial shooters need
They should use FTL neutrinos to improve ping time.

Maybe the same algorithm should be applied to AC comments on /. ...
"Balmer" and "genius" in the same sentence? Really?
It's sexist in that if a very talented woman programmer was going around hacking in the kernel and found it, it might make her feel uncomfortable.
So unlikely. Thus, there is no sexism at all.
