...and when the Rover's done cleaning that rock it was can go clean the toilets... Pretty soon we'll have Mars all polished up and ready for inspection.
No kidding. I bought a college textbook, it was "5th edition" and just released prior to my semester starting. After the semester I tried to sell it only to be told by the college bookstore that it had been replaced. I looked and the book that replaced it was "5th edition" then the bookstore clerk said it was "5th edition, 2nd revision". My response probably made me sound like a cross between Joe Pesci and Yosemite Sam. Stupid book publishers...
They should at least change it to USB 3.1 or something, like what they did with HDMI versioning.
I agree, Windows 8 took a good Windows 7 and tweaked some things to make them better but then added the horrific Metro UI and f'd if all up. If MS reintroduced a start menu and "classic mode" to make it more like W7 it'd be fantastic.
I heard tiger penis and bear gall bladder are good for stuff too but aren't there better things out there or can't we synthesize whatever's in those items?
Can't you say that about the iPad? I think the Surface Pro seems interesting and I'm an Amiga user who converted to Mac in 2000 so I shouldn't be classified as a MS Fanboi. Apple perfected the tablet and others have copied it; the copies have been decent. Since the Surface Pro should run desktop apps it'll be a nice light alternative to a laptop. Get yourself a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it should be great.
If you're scared to say something for fear of upsetting "the religion of peace" then you are their bitch from this point on. It's the radical assholes who need to STFU and be reasonable. STOP APPEASING THEM.
The media and public need to be upset because of the maniacal response to a video. Instead of outrage, we extend an olive branch and appease them. All this while they slowly push a gigantic laser behind our heads like the aliens did to that old lady in When Mars Attacks. Our fear of being labelled xenophobes or intolerant are being used against us. America was founded on the the principle of freedom of religion but it seems now that's been changed to freedom of religion so long as it's not christianity. Like Animal Farm, "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others."
Since China owns so much of the USA you could argue the R&D the American companies the Chinese own should be added to the Chinese total R&D. BTW, I'd like to buy some punctuation Pat.
I'm curious to know who named this article, "NSA Targeting Domestic Computer Systems". Could have made it more dramatic and attention-getting by naming it, "NSA Targets Racist White Babies with Assault Rifles Because of G. W. Bush's Fault", or something to that effect (I know it's nonsensical but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg)
As long as you have room to kiss your ass goodbye in the event of a suit failure they can't complain. Is anyone worried about that big-honking fishbowl the astronaut's head is in and the possibility of something that rigid breaking? Picture the scene from Total Recall (the original w/ Arnold) where his face shield broke falling down the ledge on Mars.
But the contractors cannot commit the government to do, not do, or pay for anything. They perform work, manage other contractors, etc. The government civilians and military personal make all the decisions. Should be no threat of contractors deciding what to do with WMDs other than in an advisory role.
I doubt there's any productivity gain by the people who write in a particular style but I think corporations want things done a specific way so other people can work on code someone else developed. When standards get too restrictive they can create problems. A few decades ago when I moved from Pascal to C I wrote a program to reformat my code into a standardized format...wasn't too difficult and it allowed me to focus on the algorithms, content, and GUI rather than the style of the code itself. Seems like it'd be a good thing for corporations to have...a tool that auto reformats into a standard corporation-approved format.

I'm sure this service will cost $100 or so to make use of. Good thing Facebook fully thought through their business model prior to going public.
I too thought Cinnamon was in the beta...I use it in Mint and it's fantastic.
If they used cricket bats it could take days to finish the beatdowns...and it would be boring to watch.
Are you in any way affiliated with a union? I think unions have some merit but generally are a bad thing. Please disclose the source of your bias.
Do carrion flies have any relation to carrion luggage? I always get funny looks when I bring it onto the plane...

Waddya talking about? This is a US Government organization doing this. There's nothing to fear here...perfect results and under budget {/sarcasm}
Of course, pandas are far too cute to kill for their blood, but some Asian cultures harvest bear and tigers for their parts.

The Surface Pro will have an Intel i5 w/ HD4000. If it's priced competitively, it'll be pretty hard to resist.

You probably had trouble coding back in the day due to all the pterodactyl attacks.

Yup..."3D" is a superfluous feature used for the hype.

Yet another reason I will not join Facebook. Seems they really thought out their revenue model before going public...
