Don't forget to brush up your resume. You'll need it after the boss fires you for completely disrupting his business just so *you* could satisfy your evangelical urge to change browsers.
You got me to go ahead and at least glance at TFA, which confirmed my guess: it pulls on the iron in your hemoglobin, making your red blood cells line up.
Nope, they mean Midway as in Midway Island. In which you fly your P-38 (a plane that actually never operated from carriers and didn't participate in the Battle of Midway) off a carrier to sink the Japanese air and naval forces single-handed. Of course, the Battle of Midway actually took place in June of 194*2*... Still, a really great arcade game. I own several ports of it for various home consoles. It was originally released in Japan by Capcom, and was very popular there too. Rather odd considering the subject matter, but there you are.
...and if you've done things in a sane manner, nothing happens. Because a) the employee has been trained to know that inserting unchecked, unapproved media into the secure network is grounds for instant dismissal and b) because machines on the secure network have been configured *not to run stuff* on external media. At the very least not automatically; on Linux and Unix it is possible to configure the machine so that you can't execute files on external media even if you manually try. In fact, you can configure it so that files anywhere that can be written to can't be executed.
I don't like NASCAR, football, or any other of the sports they included apps for that are uninstallable and automatically run in the background.
Hum. I have the NASCAR and football apps on my Galaxy. I haven't tried to uninstall them, but they don't run in the background automatically unless the Running Apps utility is lying to me...
Did I think my desktop would be replaced by a notebook even though they had been around by a decade or so back then? Hell, no. Just not powerful enough. Nowhere close. The small business I help a friend administer used to have 7 desktops and 2 notebooks for 7 employees (notebooks were travel computers but not for "real work"). Now it's around 20 notebooks and 1 desktop for around 20 people. Desktop acts only as a server.
Which doesn't change the fact that desktops today are more powerful than notebooks today. Phones will not be more powerful than home consoles, ever. That doesn't mean that phones won't replace home consoles, but that's a different thing.
Not happening. A mobile phone has severe size and power constraints that a home console just doesn't. Any advances that make the phones more powerful also makes the home console more powerful, keeping it always in front, although the size of the lead may vary. Mobile phones may wind up killing home consoles, but if they do, it'll be because people who want to own only one game machine decide they want one they can take with them and use as a phone too, not because phones will be more powerful.
Sarah said she was locked up in the madhouse and we were all a delusion. When they came to lock her up, she said "Oh not this again. Now I'm in five deep."
Sarah is apparently a slow learner. After the third or fourth recursion, I would've figured out to keep my mouth shut.
Empathy is easily explained by the noting (both conscious and subconscious) of the physical emotional cues of the other party. Or, if you're talking about ESP empathy, then you first need to demonstrate that there's something that needs to be explained; despite many attempts, this has not been done yet.
You're not understanding it correctly. Evolution does not proceed in a constant direction towards "better" because "survivability" is a moving target. For example, there's considerable evidence that Neanderthals were considerably better adapted to cold climates than we are. They were more more "evolved" than we were to survive in Ice Age Europe. But when the Ice Age ended, the rules changed, and they were supplanted.
Well, no. That was, after all, the purpose of the Turbo button. You turned off Turbo when you were running something that didn't work right at "Turbo" (like a game with hard-coded timing loops), but otherwise you left it on.

Been hearing this for years. The simple matter is, for writing text, nothing better than the common keyboard has been invented. It's not going anywhere. Tablets are cool, but when you sit down to write a report or a novel, or code a program, you'll do it on a keyboard.
Evolution has no concept of "going forward" or backwards, or whatever. It is simply differences that increases the chances of the genes being passed on. It has no set direction because the differences that accomplish this change as the circumstances change.
"which could kill an accidentally triggered program, along with the Unix Control-C and kill -9 for command line Unix. I'm not sure if anything exists that can do that as quickly at the GUI level. "
Right-click & "force quit" using OSX' dock, or CMD-q
In Unix, you've got xkill; forcibly closes the connection between the server and the client for the window you click on. This generally kills the client as well.
Regardless of whether something is stated on the box, if it's functionality a reasonable person would expect (e.g. a 2011 router having full compatibility with the 2011 Internet), you can return the product for a full refund if it doesn't have it.
"Most people buy a router expecting to be able to use it to access the sites they frequent. Please name a popular internet site that can only be accessed by IPv6." "Uhhh...." "Case dismissed."

Even better:
The site with TFA isn't ready either.

You mean this Tiny Town?

Nope, never have. What the hell is it? If it's a console that's weaker than a mobile phone, I suppose that answers why you don't do that.

Thank God they can't do that with credit cards!

What is this "Sun workstation" of which you speak? There is no such thing. Sun hasn't made or sold desktop SPARC for a couple of years, now.
A megalomaniac consortium of robots is going to give Australia a telescope that plays Jamaican music? I'm confused...

No chance. "Did the vendor, at any time and in any fashion, claim IPv6 capabilities for these routers?" "No, Your Honor." "Case dismissed."
