Seriously, they keep changing this since I was in high school and I'm only freaking 25. Last I heard, protons and neutrons were each made up of 3 quarks, not were quarks themselves. What gives?
"The strategy of flooding the educational market was quite successful for Apple."
Ummm it was a disaster that put Windows in charge of all home markets in the 90's actually.
Bitcoins are literally spontaneously created out of nowhere at a rate of 25 per 10 minutes. If you're mining them, you're not getting paid by anyone. How can they tax something like that? That's ridiculous. With capital gains, you're getting the money from someone or something. Money randomly appearing is a different story. I could see the pool system being seen as compensation for work done but if you're solo mining, I still think it's not taxable under any current tax code.
I found it to be too much social activity. I don't want or need to know that much about anyone I know. By the way, I've never been on Facebook ever, I'm just speaking of minutes at a time of stupidity on my brother's Facebook activity feed thingy while fixing his computer. I kept thinking "wow, if I had to read all this stupid crap from my friends, I'd be really sick of it really fast."
What even are cable cards? I plugged my Windows 7 PC into the coax jack and tada, all my Time Warner cable channels come in except digital encrypted ones that they're illegally encrypting against FCC regulations (and then pretending it's okay by offering everyone a free decrypter box for free for the next 2 years)
Work at my place then, lol. The bosses are basically the IT manager instead of me. If they like a shiny software suite, they buy it as long as I verify that it literally runs. We're also 85% behind on deploying Windows 7 machines to replace our 80% XP ones. That's right, 1/20th of the amount we needed to replace on my schedule haven't been replaced for budget reasons. So basically they don't approve any expense that we really need unless they personally like it or came up with the idea. That's pretty much every business' IT dept from what I've seen.
This just in: MythTV boxes still 10x larger capacity, more flexible with more features, more upgradeable, custom chassis, you can also game on it, and the OS is free.
As head IT manager, I can definitely explain this. The company approves a software suite that's seemingly "perfect" for 150% the anticipated budget. They really couldn't afford it in the first place so they already cut the support and upgrade path subscription. Then they never approve the absurdly high renewal/upgrade cost the next year and the next year and the next year and tada, you've got an outdated, insecure piece of crap.
When you buy a software suite, make sure you have the money to support it in the long term! It's all about the TCO!
This is THE stupidest idea there has ever been. Unless they assign a modem 2 IPs (oh that's right, we're almost out of those things) then anyone can make you look like you downloaded illegal stuff. Or they can jam up the router's memory by DDOSing it or accidentally by running too many torrents at once. They put pathetic amounts of buffer memory in those. Then someone could hack the router in theory and mess with your side of it. I mean seriously, this is the worst tech idea there has ever been.
Hmmm, I wonder how custom PC builders will react to this release? Ohhhhh that's right, I am one. Let's see, 120GB Extreme 2 = $129.99 on newegg. A Vertex 4 is $119 on newegg. And oh look, a Samsung 840 non-pro is $99 and has similar read performance and acceptable write performance and weighs less and has higher reviews. So that's the end of that. Honestly, from 2011 - late 2012 I paid $80 for any given 120-128GB SSD that was top quality. Now at $130, none of my customers are approving the build cost so they're dreaming at $129 with that nothing-special controller in it.
The Vertex 4's are cheaper, faster, and run an internal TRIM command via the firmware if your OS or board doesn't support TRIM plus they have secure wiping software so you can use them in the medical field for example (the wear leveling rearrangement makes Killdisk and DBAN not erase 100% of the bits). Definitely superior.
They think $5000 is bad? Just wait until the ancient aboriginal ghosts show up and start poltergeisting the shit out of the place. The damage done by their dishes flying all over and mirrors smashing plus professional exorcists will definitely exceed $5000.
11 people were killed by toddlers accidentally firing guns in 2013 and 4 by terrorists on US soil.
Another fun fact, terrorists don't tend to post giant posts on public areas like Facebook, Twitter, or Verizon text message with giant keywords like "nuclear bomb" and "terrorist attack" nor do they do it on the internet or a blog.
Exactly. How about they automatically find out who's behind the website and arrest them in their home country or shut down the hosting company hosting it?
I think chimps should be able to research any field of science they want. Just because some congressman went and saw Planet of the Apes doesn't mean that we should restrict them in such a way.
So every single road needs power lines along it on both sides so tall trucks an cranes can't make a left or right turn anywhere ever. Then when the power goes out, you can't drive anywhere. Then it's one unbelievably large target for hacking and terrorism so no home electricity OR transportation. This is quite possibly the stupidest idea since flying cars.
Without a clear ESN, nobody can activate a phone anyway. So the owner would just mark the phone as not having a clear ESN manually or simply don't pay their bills and tada, it's useless. At least CDMA works that way. The vastly inferior GSM system is a theft waiting to happen.
By the way, what's going to stop people from stealing the screen glass, screen, and battery from a smartphone and ebaying it? Do they have a killswitch for that?
"Other reports suggest Twitter refused to participate, though there's been no official conformation."
What terrorist organization communicate on twitter? Or Yahoo mail? Or Facebook? This is obviously just plain spying for political opinions, hate speech, statistics, etc.
You can barely type on most tablets. Why make a typing program (Word)? Then you can't use it unless you're a 365 subscriber, which only people who can't do math are. Then you can't even do basic formatting that an RTF editor would let you do. Wow. Maybe this is MS secretly trying to convince people tablets are actually NOT computer replacements and Windows 9 won't be touch-friendly or ridiculously laid out. Well, I can dream at least.

Darn, I wanted them to go with my idea of upgrading the town's name to Ipv6swich

There's a quad one that works flawless in Windows. Actually like 15 of them, lol.
If they suddenly give a crap about video, maybe they should fix that joke of a flash plugin so people can actually surf the web
I'm not on Facebook. Woo, I win.

Wow, I can see thieves and trespassers but for brigands you typically need to make a perception or arcane check roll to identify them.

I don't get it it...they don't even make Mario games. Why a speak all italian and stuff, eh?
Exactly. How about they automatically find out who's behind the website and arrest them in their home country or shut down the hosting company hosting it?
Is anyone going to buy the Xbox One?
No.
All the rest of the questions and answers seem pretty stupid after that since that sort of undermines them all.
