It is going to remain a solid chunk of gas for a hefty distance if it travels fast enough. If it expands at 5m/s but travels at 5 km/s, it's still going to impact pretty heavily after traveling 1 km, possibly doing a lot more damage than if it were to remain a rock.
Citation needed. Or at least be kind and specify what sort of content are you generating on a tablet and works better than on a computer. I can't think of any, so please, by all means, enlighten me. And I'm serious. Not sarcastic or anything. I consider buying a tablet but so far I steered away from it, because I don't think it would add value to my life. I have a laptop, I have a smartphone, how would a tablet be enhancing my life?
Are you too think to understand? I didn't say "it doesn't work", I said "can't integrate at all with Metro". I even gave examples. When I install Yahoo Messenger I want it to act just like the Windows Live Messenger, which shows as a nice tile and allows you to do stuff without dropping to Desktop mode all the time. It's sad, really, that I have to explain it again and again, with different words, so that the less intelligent can get the idea.
Same here. We have a contract with a company which "destroys" our old machines after we get rid of them. By that I mean that actually they say they destroyed the machines, whereas in fact they probably resell them (or disassemble and resell the parts). Our company sees no dime.
Aww, you're fighting the Windows haters with an insightful post. Heroic, but ultimately not effective. It's like saying "milk is good" to the notmilk.com crowd.
The problem is that it spreads too quickly, so when you clear a PC and move on to the next, it re-infects the first one. Silly old Microsoft.
This is arguably in the top 10 dumbest remarks of the month. And it's the end of the month, so pretty impressive achievement, my young Padawan. If you're IT staff and that's what's happening to you when you clean up Conficker, you should just go plant a garden and let someone else get your job. You know, retire honorably before you get covered in ridicule.
all of your old apps from XP/Vista/7 will run on Windows 8.
Are you sure? Yeah, many do run, but at what cost. There's a plethora of software which can't integrate at all with the Metro (or whatever it's called) functionality. Amazingly, in the tiled UI you can't even read what time it is, only the date. If you want to use Yahoo Messenger, you have to drop to Desktop mode. Daemon Tools? Desktop mode. Avast antivirus? Yeah, Desktop mode. Chrome, Firefox, Opera? Ever-the-fucking-desktop-mode! This is valid for a vast majority of existing (and popular!) Windows applications. And it's been what, 6+ months since Windows 8 got live and most popular application makers have no plans to create tiled apps for Windows 8. So much for 100% compatibility.
Just as I hate having to use terminal on a Desktop Linux OS, I also hate having to drop to Desktop mode 10 times an hour to do the stuff I usually do. That makes the tiled side of Windows, no matter how colorful, useless and annoying. You switch to Desktop mode to use your browser, then back to Tiled mode to look for a setting, then back to Desktop mode to do this, then back to Tiled mode to check weather, then back... for fuck's sake. It's an OS with two GUIs. RE-TAR-DED.
It is just an evolution of the Windows product line, not a radical departure from it.
It is a half-baked piece of shit, and that comes from someone who used Windows since... well, 3.1 and tried hard to use Windows 8.
To THAT I agree. I have installed Windows 8 last night on a laptop for testing purposes. W8 installation was OK, then I updated drivers, installed Office 2013, ran Windows Update and it restarted to finish installing updated. Boom, blinking screen upon login. I searched Google and found over 13 million results for "Windows 8 Blinking Screen". Good job, Microsoft!
Windows 8 sucks big fat black cock. (to some it might sound appealing, no judgment though)
Oh no, I totally agree, but I'm thinking... given the extra steps a foreign scientist needs to take to reach research ownership in a different country, compared to "local" scientists, maybe this indirectly tells something, as in "local scientists are being surpassed by foreign scientists in terms of knowledge and dedication".
HUH, I'm a noob, I skimmed over the name and have read "Boston":) Fair enough, but my question then broadens to cover UK as well, because even there I have seen the same trend.
Troll. There was a spaceship game a few years back (the name escapes me) where the cracked version had some "hidden" issues, e.g. your Galaxy view kept shaking all the time and your warp drive range was a wee bit smaller than needed to progress after about 2h of gameplay (you simply couldn't reach a star which was required for the main quest). The game was still playable but nagging and confined to a small subset of what it could have offered.
That's why it was not immediately obvious that this change would make you lose. Maybe it just made it harder to win.
"The research, led by Dr Anne Roudaut and Professor Sriram Subramanian, from the University of Bristol's Department of Computer Science" Now, we have a French name and an Indian name. It's a continuation of a trend I've been seeing for the last 10 years, with US-based researches being lead by (arguably) non-US citizens (as in: people not born in the US or born of immigrants).
So I have to ask: where are all the US-based great minds? Working for these researchers? Just wondering.
Frankly I couldn't care less about extras. They mean nothing to me. Of course, we're entitled to have different opinions, but all I need is the game itself. But to your point, Steam version is like that:
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition takes all of the acclaimed gameplay that garnered the original game more than 90 awards, and perfects it with a number of gameplay and technical improvements.
Superior dialogue and cutscenes - The developers have re-recorded and rewritten more than 5000 lines of dialogue in English and redone the entire German edition to create more a more consistent experience, while adding more than 200 gesture animations to make characters behave more believably in dialogue and cutscenes. Enhanced inventory - The new inventory system makes item use and organization less complicated by introducing a separate sack for any alchemical ingredients, as well as a simple sort-and-stack function. Spend less time managing your inventory and more time playing the game. Technical improvements - The enhancements made to the technical side of the game are too numerous to list, but a few of the highlights include greatly reduced loading times, greater stability, improved combat responsiveness, faster inventory loading, the option to turn autosave on or off, and more. Character differentiation system - To add more variety to NPC and monster appearances, we've added a new character differentiation system that randomizes the appearance and colors of dozens of in-game models. The Package - The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is more than just a better version of last year's RPG of the Year. The premium packaging would usually infer some sort of Collector's Edition... but at the price of a regular game, it's simply a great value. In your download you'll also get: Multilingual game disc, D'jinni Adventure Editor, Two new adventures offering 5+ hours of gameplay, Official Soundtrack, Music Inspired by The Witcher album, Making-of videos, Official game guide, Map of The Witcher's world
So I would say that yes, Steam offers the same deal.
The only place in your post where you simply prove the wrong example is those... websites, if I might even call them that. Your first link mentiones Insulin as not being discovered because animal testing, whereas in fact it definitely was. Your second link contains exactly zero references (peer-verified, URL-linked to any scientific repository). I haven't even visited the third link because "medicinemilksmillions" is driving me away fast. Even the site name is biased as hell. It's the "notmilk.com" of the medicine area. Please...
Such websites are the tabloids of the Internet: they present fake information as true by misquoting, misleading and generally being full of bullshit. It's the white papers of the other side and I think they're both equally retarded. Just... don't fall prey to them.
Are you thick or just pretending? Those products were tested on people instead of animals. Law still requires lab testing. Hence my initial post saying do you care enough to offer yourself as test subject"?
Says the law, unfortunately. We're on the same page, I don't agree with that either, but the law says you can't sell that shit otherwise. As a matter of fact, me and my family actively refrain from buying anything that was ever animal-tested. But then again, I don't agree with extremist behavior, nor will I ever. It's simply not helping anyone.

Laptops are bulky and heavy.
Um, I weigh 143 pounds and even I can carry a laptop around all day long without panting. I mean, come on!

The fact that you will LOSE because of that is not obvious from TFS. TFA is /.ed anyway.
LastPass used to scream at me when I was doing that, so I disabled that functionality.
A prezidential sex scandal?
I wonder how HUGE microorganisms look like.

we always knew hell was down there
Yeah well most of Witcher games were bought on... guess. Steam, yeah, that's right. Still a form of DRM. Go figure...
