...if you didn't know about MS's sordid history, young one, then you've got a lot to learn.
I suggest googling (or bing-ing) "cancer + linux" and "Embrace Extend Extinguish"
also, just for fun, "developers, developers, developers"
It's pretty common to take road tips on holiday say from central Germany, down to Switzerland or over the Alps into Italy etc.
You won't need it day to day, but it's not uncommon.
Also, the train system is good, but it's pretty expensive and you will have to spend a lot of time transferring if you want to leave the main line cities and get to a village (and there are a LOT of villages). You also have to deal with train delays fairly often (not as common as terrible US train service) bad enough that I often book a seat on multiple trains in case I get in too late to make my original transfer. You can get flex tickets, but those usually double the price. With a car, you also have to deal with construction and accidents etc, but you have the power to adjust routes, or stop at a hotel and start again the next day.
“Vic Gundotra.. ruled by fear and never bothered to talk with Knutson, whose desk was "directly next to Vic's glass-walled office”
Sounds like one of my former managers who used send me directives by email even though he was sitting right next to me.
A lot of people like a paper trail. I would always ask for something in person, then send a short email right after.
He should know this, but I also see your point.
It's a real "got you" question. I'm sure the CEO knows exactly what encryption is, and roughly how it works, but may not know exactly what the difference between "encryption" and "encryption at rest" is, and didn't want to say something under oath that turned out to be wrong.
If other sites start doing this, it will help in some ways.
Sure, we'll see some shitty ads, but instead of today where you use an adblocker that intercepts scripts and hides images that are loaded into the DOM after page load, all on the front end... the ads will load on the server-side and be a lot faster.
Poorly implemented ads are the main reason pages take so long to load, even ad blocker can't actually stop many of them from loading, so we'll get faster sites.
Sucks to have to look at ads though.

I have seen Rugby. I went to the University of Stellenbosch for a semester. The US Maties won the national Championship in South Africa.
I also went to Texas Tech University in Lubbock Texas. The TTU RedRaiders never were good enough to win the national title, but they were good at the time.
Not a SINGLE rugby player on the Maties could have made the squad at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders had a tight end that was 260 pounds that was faster than ANYONE (even the speedy wings) on the rugby team.
The physical talent in terms of speed & strength is a million times better in American football, obviously not in endurance though.
a toy.
I have an N9 and love it, the Lumia 800 took the same body and put a garbage OS on it.
It's like dating a genius swimsuit model, then trying to date a dumb blonde. It doesn't work and you're only dissapointed at what was lost.

...and loser. Sounds about right
I've shifted to YouTube and would cancel Netflix if my wife would let me.

Payback's a bitch

This is good, and very important. But exciting?

She's like Lance Armstrong. Except that he was already a superstar athlete before he started building his doping empire. She was just a college kid.
I'm impressed Philip K Dick knew the question then.

you probably can't get in on it if you destroyed the phone in anger. sigh.
...and to those who say "i hate sites that ask me to turn off ad-blocker" ...facebook wont be doing that. Ad blocker won't even know the Ads are there.

some things never change
I wish I had mods points right now
It isn't going to be pretty

Just mediocre
Don't turn a tragedy into a snarky chain of know-it-all comments, Innocent people died. This isn't a place to prove your intelligence.

I have an N9 and it's awesome too! (I also have an n900) I ache when I realize how close Nokia was to making linux/meego/maemo their top OS.
Well, historically, tea companies have been pretty well know to be aggressive in the transportation field.
Mod this up!
They should call this Spock
I was in South Africa in 2010 when one of their main cables got cut by a ship. It sucked. Internet got SLOOOOOWWWW
