Have you seen the latest "Woah! Bing won!" ad campaign? Remember Mojave? Microsoft has a long history of blaming their customers because they "just don't get it" how awesome the (fill in the blank) Microsoft product is.
No shit. Fact is, Nvidia, with their closed-source binary-blob driver, STILL supports Linux better than ATI/AMD did/does. "Purity" is overrated, and variable, depending on who's doing defining it.
True dat. Spoken like a true capitalist. And of course, I don't use weather or communication or TV satellites, either, so I don't need to worry about it.
"Our understanding of the growing space debris problem can be compared with our understanding of the need to address Earthâ(TM)s changing climate some 20 years ago,"
We're still denying there's a problem. There must be something wrong with your data.
From the headline, I thought we were going to get a story about a car that instantaneously tunneled through walls, or could park in more than one garage at the same time, depending on how many garage doors you had open.
Really good call, although some of Gamow's stuff is a little outdated. Not really sure why everybody else here is concentrating on fiction; I'd add The Tao of Physics, The Lives of a Cell, and The Blind Watchmaker. If you want fiction, The Diamond Age or Lord of Light.
Let's talk about all the cargo-cult Flash "programmers" who just have to check if you're using the very latest version of Flash before you can look at their content - even though it doesn't use any new features...

I didn't say you were paranoid, you must have imagined that.

Good choice on buying the extended warranty on the Nexus 7. The glass is pretty much known to crack on its own, without any outside stresses.
Exactly what I meant. Everybody has their own definition of "purity".
Perl bashing is never gratuitous.
Yup. I'll take a huge diaperfull of steamy pungent poo over server-side Perl every time.

OpenLART?
His sig is only correct for very small values of i.
I've got wood. Anybody else?
OMG that dramatic reading (bit of adjustment) is a hoot!

Yah. We need to stop the flow of illegal STEM graduates from Mexico.
So is Conway's Game of Life, that doesn't mean amateurs should be writing code that runs on client's machines with it.
He said "PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE".
I don't recall any of them having an orgy.
You're probably the kind of person who doesn't get sarcasm. Moron.

Having Na'vi make your noodles is just as bad as having robots do it.
(same AC you responded to).
"Nation building"??? "Nation building"???????
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
If by that you mean "giving shittons of money to Haliburton and Blackwater and the like", then yah. Otherwise, no, not so much.
Wasn't Gene Amdahl trying to do this back in the late 70's? Yeah, thought so.
I recall people making exactly the same argument when the Doctor Who reboot was announced.
OK, bad example. I'll still take Tom Baker or Peter Davison over Matt Smith or David Tenant any day of the week.
