The Constitution guarantees the right for citizens to keep and bear arms for the purposes of having a militia. You're an idiot and you need to go fuck yourself.
I'll see your anecdote and raise it by my anecdote that Windows 8 runs fucking great on my machine. It's exactly like Windows 7, only better _because_ of improvements like removing the useless start button & replacing the start menu with a superior alternative. Of course they've fucked that up with 8.1, by back pedaling instead of doing the education that they should have in the first place, but it's my anecdote so I'll cherry pick whichever parts I want.
Which versions of Firefox had upside tabs? I must have skipped more versions of Firefox than I thought, because I remember when they were under the address bar, but never upside down.
"For users on small screens, that might be an advantage, though I'm slightly wondering how many people use the default versions of things like tabs rather than a plug-in anyway."

Can you actually download a copy from Flixter, or just stream it? I've only used UV on my Roku box, so maybe you can actually download elsewhere, but I thought that it was streaming only.
Since you're a big HaxeFlixel guy, can you point me in the right direction to actually getting a working dev environment going on Windows? I tried a couple of times, but gave up because even the example projects would throw incomprehensible error messages when I test compiled. Only information I've been able to find on the errors was other people having the same problem, but no actual solutions.
If I'm not mistaken Haxe "compiles to C++" by interpreting the code into actual C++ source, which then gets compiled into a native binary with a standard C++ compiler.
It's an anomaly that everyone uses email. In the past they'd go to all these different markets to find their communities, but now they just email each other.
Where's my check for writing a stupid article, the Verge?
Being exclusive to schools clearly had two strong effects on its early dominance: ability to build up critical mass within a smaller user pool and increase desirability because of that exclusivity.
However, and this might not so much explain "why Facebook" as it does "why not MySpace," I think the biggest reason Facebook became dominant instead of MySpace is that its user interface wasn't a hideous nightmare and its user pages didn't all look like some wrist-slitting kid's Geocities site gotten eaten by a dog and barfed up.
And the nature of Facebook already does the splitting up. If you went on Facebook and your timeline or whatever was filled up with everyone's posts on Facebook the author and GP might have a point, but since that isn't what happens I'm inclined to think that they're just idiots.
I didn't read the article either (who has time when the topic is so stupid?), but it seems like she's making a huge mistake by thinking that Facebook is a single location just because it has one address and one name. Facebook is much less like a singular marketplace like the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market and more like a serious of (millions?) of magic Tesla dealerships that allow you to show up at any location but when you walk inside you're at the same dealership as all of your friends. The non-physical nature of the Internet just allows everyone to just go straight to one address instead of needing the magic.
I have this conversation fairly regularly with people born after 1990. Like those born before 1965, kids these days don't need to know anything about computers so they don't. The main difference is that the old timers at least have the excuse of not using a computer of some sort for nearly every waking hour of their lives.
It's unAmerican that we let Frenchmen work fewer hours, make more money, and live longer than us. Clearly our tactic of making fun of their laziness and pungent odors has failed. It's time for a race to the bottom of the time clock.
Fuck Pierre and his 80%, I'll see you guys back at the office in June! Just in time to get things in order for my summer vacation.
Didn't you get the memo? With the announcement of SteamOS, the "Year of the Linux Desktop" has been moved to 2015 (Valve Time, so maybe 2016 or 2017). Of course the "desktop" has also been moved to the livingroom, so plan accordingly.
K-Cup compatible brewers and cups have been on the market for a while now. This is precisely the reason that Keurig are adding these DRM-like controls to their new machines. I guess that was easier than coming up with a new invention as innovative as the K-Cup, or simply competing based on quality and price.
Any computer programmer should also be able to tell you that programming computers requires at least one full pot of coffee, making a Keurig the worst possible solution ever.
Everyone always says that, but it never seems to be true when I call. I've never had more pleasant or helpful Comcast CSRs than when I've called to cancel my account.

You can bring your own phone on all T-Mobile plans. Where have you been for the past year?

Mine doesn't look anything like that.

That answer would be "nearly all of them."
Nothing?

"The single biggest differentiator between iPhone and its predecessors was the capacitative screen."
I can't see how that wasn't what you were saying there, but okay.
First with capacitive touchscreen you say? That's interesting...

It's the ugliest building in Seattle. Next question!

I don't believe you! That doesn't sound like a computer programmer at all.
