Well given that the current line up on any channel seems to be based on randomly drawing names out of a hat (wrestling on syfi, "paranormal" BS on history etc) I'd say that CW is an appropriate location for a Joss Whedon production.
VHS video will still be readable too (if necessary you can buy a used VCR from ebay in 2037). It's analog so even if it degrades it will still be watchable..... I know this from personal experience with 25-30 year old tapes.
Buy the VCR and throw it in the box as well.. that way you are guaranteed to have a VCR when the box is open.
25 years is an awful long time for most electronics to remain available. So why not ease the burden and include all the devices which can then be donated to the computer museum after you have had your fun opening the box!
Unless they want to die at 35 of a cancer or something, I wouldn't advise it. One of the reason those kind of things are banned is because they are dangerous
But its for the glory! And quite a few people on here have said that they would take 1 way rides to Mars for the glory of it, no matter what the risk.
There are always going to be people who will prioritize "glory" over anything else. In fact Olympic athletes are already doing that as a 9-5 job is a hell of a lot east to do than olympic training.
Are you tired of Pie in the Sky Apps that are slow to update?
Is waiting around for a file save just plain boring?
Do you constantly yearn for the good old days when the Internet was snappy?
Well here at Microsoft we have listened to your concerns and we can say that they are absolutely a thing of the past!.
In conjunction with AT&T, Verizon (and those other guys) Microsoft is proud to introduce your personal Sky Captain (tm) assistant. For only a few pennies more than a latte a day (*) you'll get priority desk side Check-in and update service that will have you saying "up, up and away to the Cloud" faster than a speeding bullet. Sky Captain (tm) is so speedy that you'll be back to playing Angry Fruit (MS's latest funpacked game that bears no resemblance to any other game that might have a similar name) without having to hit pause. With Sky Captain (tm) you just pay the way for priority internet boarding that will leave everyone else thinking "Who is that self important douche?!?!?".
So don't delay, get Sky Captain (tm) today, and show the world how a great paid priority internet service is the way
(*) And we don't mean no 2 bit el cheapo latte, we mean the full monty barista hand crafted latte with your name written in the foam using the purest cinnamon harvested by virgins, and only under a full moon.
Should a system for example protect the life of the people in a car as opposed to the life of people in a nearby car that they might crash into? Which gets higher priority.
That was part of the angst of Will Smith's character in the I, Robot movie. A robot logically decided to save him rather than attempt (and probably fail) to save a little girl - a choice that deeply conflicted with his (and probably most peoples) morals.
While this was a functional account, I think it does a good job of showing some potential issues with life and death decisions that aren't made by humans.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I was forced to upgrade my iMac to Lion in order to continue doing iOS development (and for which I am only breaking into).. What this move does is increase the Apple Tax for iOS development from $100 per year to $350 a year minimum (say a new mac mini every 3 years at $800 a pop). If you're not making money in the first place then you can't bill your customers more.
Could have learned a lot from the Huffington Post.
Why? She wasn't political at all - no matter how many people seem to think she was in league with the Nazi's.
or Do you mean she could have gotten better publicity out that so people knew she had been cleared of being a Nazi (multiple times over), won innumerable libel suits from people claiming she was, and shown how great her artistic ability was?
I read a great quote this weekend comparing her to Sergei Eisenstein (Battleship Potemkin)
Part of the debate was whether that divide was caused by things like the internet . In particular it centered around social filtering coloring the results returned by google and hence dishing up information that you agreed with and hiding what you didn't agree with. I didn't hear the whole thing so I need to go back and listen to it from the start.
Wake me up once one of those toys can compete with an actual 3D graphics workstation.
By the time these devices can compete with an actual 3D graphics workstation, that target will have already moved on. So you will never be able get closure on "Wake me when X can do Y"
It was Leon Lederman that wanted to call it the "god damned particle". In particular, he wanted to name his lay-science book "the god-damned particle", but the publisher said, "No."
Yeh I probably did mis-hear that part - I was in the middle of some tricky driving.
A Nobel award is given to at most 3 people. But in modern times theoretical research is not something that a single person does in their basement.. so there are 6 people (actually one is deceased - so isn't eligible because of that) who could make a claim for the glory. See higgs-boson-nobel-prize-headache for a better run down on all of this.
Interestingly Higgs wasn't the first to publish on this subject. And I heard yesterday on NPR from a former student of Higgs who suggested he wanted to call it the "God Damned Particle" - but it seems that the name went all PC.
German anesthesiologist Joachim Boldt is believed to hold the dubious distinction of having the most retractions—about 90. Boldt's scientific record also came under fire several years ago by some of the same journal editors questioning Fujii's work.
Is this coincidence or a pattern? I have no idea how the journal publishing is supposed to work, but being the "victim" of the two most prolific forgers leaves me a little suspicious of the quality of the publishing in general.
I know you are talking about Windows, but on the Apple side of things I have taken my $1300 iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion and expect to take it to Mountain Lion. I would have taken my Dell laptop from XP to Windows 7 (or even a hackintosh) but it only has a core duo processor and not a core 2 duo.
I'm not going to get rid of a perfectly good computer when it still does everything that I want it to do.
There's no reason to assume that; one could as easily assume the opposite.
Hey! It's my damned assumption and I'll go which ever way I want with it. And you are entitled to go your own way with your own assumption!
But given the (partially religious based [1]) conformist aspects of US society I can see issues with privacy - especially with things relating to sex and/or naked bodies. Things that are perfectly acceptable by sub-cultures but are frowned upon by the more vocal aspects of US society
[1] I say partially religious based as I have come across many non-religeous people who have conservative points of view regarding nudity. Given that they are not conforming to a theology, I am not going to say that such ideas are confined to religion.
Slashdot Mirror
Does the USA realize that all this "we're running the world" stuff just makes foreign extremists angry?
What I never got was all those outcries along the lines of "We're not the worlds police" .. yet you have things like this happening more and more.
the CW? Really?
Well given that the current line up on any channel seems to be based on randomly drawing names out of a hat (wrestling on syfi, "paranormal" BS on history etc) I'd say that CW is an appropriate location for a Joss Whedon production.
saying it was taken out of context and only applied to using the desktop with a mouse and keyboard,
Mouse and Keyboard??? Isn't that how 95% of the population is going to initially be using windows 8?
would have been nice for mice to be mentioned in the summary since it appears only to apply to them. lucky dogs
Lucky dogs??!?! How would you like your assigned tasks from your boss to consist of:
1. Get infected with contagious disease
2. Try out some cures to see if they work
3. ????
4. Profit! (well - for your boss that is)

Well for starters baseball was a hell of a lot more interesting when they were jacked up enough to blast the ball out of the park...
So just build smaller parks and you'll get the same effect.

You have clients ... charge a little more and absorb the cost of new hardware. What's so hard about that?
Its hard to do so when iOS app success is a "lottery": 60% (or more) of developers don't break even
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I was forced to upgrade my iMac to Lion in order to continue doing iOS development (and for which I am only breaking into)..

Work for Hitler and be called a Nazi

I was listening to NPR last night and heard this debate program (originally from April 2012):
When It Comes To Politics, The Internet Is Closing Our Minds
It causes 100% of divorce, makes children objects to be fought over and causes depression and bankruptcy - just to note a few problems.
It should be banned!
Wake me up once one of those toys can compete with an actual 3D graphics workstation.
By the time these devices can compete with an actual 3D graphics workstation, that target will have already moved on. So you will never be able get closure on "Wake me when X can do Y"
how exactly can you have large bandwidth with no cables?
Sharks! With lasers strapped to their heads, and laser detectors as well!

But not because he dropped out of college, but for doing things like buying Instagram for $1B without consulting his board.
From TFA
German anesthesiologist Joachim Boldt is believed to hold the dubious distinction of having the most retractions—about 90. Boldt's scientific record also came under fire several years ago by some of the same journal editors questioning Fujii's work.
Is this coincidence or a pattern? I have no idea how the journal publishing is supposed to work, but being the "victim" of the two most prolific forgers leaves me a little suspicious of the quality of the publishing in general.
You must work for the Department of Redundancy Department, surely?
Don't call me Surely
The TFA is just a BS article that says nothing.
A better link (and is in the TFA) is Nanoporous Graphene Could Outperform Best Commercial Water Desalination Techniques
However that references Nanoporous graphene could outperform best commercial water desalination techniques
Now we finally we get to the actual link Water Desalination across Nanoporous Graphene (which unfortunately you need to have the right credentials to see - which I don't)
How come I can follow those links and the TFS can't?
I wonder how many bother.
I know you are talking about Windows, but on the Apple side of things I have taken my $1300 iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion and expect to take it to Mountain Lion.

I'm not going to get rid of a perfectly good computer when it still does everything that I want it to do.
I'll go one further and say patent abolition is the only way to stop it.
Sure you can frame the war in terms of being an abolitionist and talk about rights etc, but remember that the other side will only see this as
The war of Northern (Californian) Aggression!
There's no reason to assume that; one could as easily assume the opposite.
Hey! It's my damned assumption and I'll go which ever way I want with it. And you are entitled to go your own way with your own assumption!
But given the (partially religious based [1]) conformist aspects of US society I can see issues with privacy - especially with things relating to sex and/or naked bodies. Things that are perfectly acceptable by sub-cultures but are frowned upon by the more vocal aspects of US society
