i'm surprised they didn't threaten another challenger disaster or an apollo 1 fire or some other fearmongering nonsense, especially since the white house is leading the way with that tactic
at the moment, nobody really gives a fuck about nasa or space since they're trying to focus on figuring out how to pay their bills, and rightly so... i know nasa bureaucrats are thinking of themselves too, but if you like begging for handouts there are other ways/places to do it
how else would they get a decent performance improvement? not to mention a whole new architecture... without plagiarism it would imply that Microsoft is somehow innovating... pffft yeah right
Those "limited conditions" happen to be all of reality
you must be the smartest person on earth if you can qualify that
either that or you're a religious sheep and you really have no idea what goes on inside a black hole or the other side of the universe or whether string theory is correct or whether assumed conditions will remain the same forever or that there couldn't ever possibly be any exceptions
if it weren't for baikonur (or however it's spelt) and the russians, there would be much less (not to mention there would be no space stations to visit either)
the russians basically ARE the global space industry, with only a few minor exceptions
as far as laptops, i personally reckon asus would probably only be second best to toshiba; i prefer their quality as opposed to the garbage offered by hp, acer and dell (i made the mistake of giving a hp desktop machine a first birthday and sound drivers supplied by hp for the specific model and windows version didn't install).
maybe microsoft's "surface" disaster might help some of the oem's shed some of their risk in this area by at least offering the option of preinstalled ubuntu etc. after all, at the end of the day its not microsoft that they have to answer to; it's their shareholders, and shareholders don't like risk.
if i need help with php, i don't google... i just type php.net in the address bar
stack overflow is good sometimes, but there are a few sites that are good sometimes (depends on the problem). i've also found some gems on site point if you're googling, also depends a bit on the little summary under the search result link. they will probably differ a bit even if they are about the same issue. if one reads a little more intelligently than the other, and it is somewhere other than stack overflow, i'll click on it there are plenty of stupid questions and stupid answers on stack overflow, same as any forum site
i guess companies have to cull resumes somehow, and such a question might seem ok for a survey question for applicants before they get to the interview process, but if you're spending time (and money) interviewing someone and you make your decision based on whether they use stack overflow or not, i would assume your staff base may be suffering from a tunnel vision if they all use stack overflow any time they need help.
These are the same people that think that GIMP is comparable to Photoshop or even Paint.NET.
gimp isn't even in the same class as photoshop... it's a class above
gimp: developed by pros, for pros... noobs that aren't interested in getting their hands dirty should try ps instead
i'm yet to see anyone list all the reasons why gimp is deficient... more often than not ps users complain when they try gimp merely because its not exactly like ps and they don't know how to do it in gimp... similar to "linux sux because it's not like windows" morons

i agree... as long as i get to wear the red pyjamas

Can I program your "orbiting platform"
you are obviously not a chinese hacker
can you imagine a space station stuck full of nerds for 6 months
i would rather face off with ripley's alien
why don't they just ask the new pope what caused it... all this scientific crap doesn't mean anything anyway... praise jebus
... they both get excited about a probe to uranus

I wouldn't be surprised if win8 runs on a closed & butchered version of the linux kernel and suse

there was plenty of good shit smoked by all... judging by what came out the chimney
not to mention the fun they had with the whores they keep locked away in their dungeon... erm... i mean "archives"

there must be some good shit in that kool aid
the texan patent lawyers will be all over that

you forgot: shooting their guns till Old Age
do you think chuck norris should learn some humility too?
*punches you*
This drive is a scam and violates laws of physics.
the laws of physics don't "govern" anything... they are merely generalized observations
i'm not saying that they aren't useful; they can predict behavior under the limited conditions for which the laws were based
you're just one of those sheeple who think because you read something in a physics book then it must be true
there are probably more sheeple that think jesus walked on water and was the son of god because they read it in a book
keep drinking the religious kool aid... fool
there's big oil, patent lawsuits and guns... what else could texans possibly want?

the light one was one the i was thinking of. thanks for the link
then minesweeper would start looking mighty tempting
yeah good point, but at least we have the iinet case as a precedent for the type of garbage in TFA
