The article on disagrees. According to the article on Word, Word for Macintosh was available in 1987 (partial WYSIWYG in 1985), preceding the release of Ami for Windows by a year.
I couldn't tell you from first hand knowledge, as I was still on an Apple//e at the time. What I *do* remember is that in the early to mid 80s (at least), the term 'personal computer' was generic, referring to many machines from many vendors. It wasn't yet used almost solely to refer to an x86 Windows machine.
I think his reaction to a kidney transplant in ST IV: The Search for Greenpeace belies that. Sure, we've got telemedicine and a plethora of MRI's and some other gadgets, but there's still a long way to go. One trick is that medical research generally has to work pretty well to go forward. Certainly moreso than the 'throw shit at the wall' approach to tech that has given us a dozen iterations of tablets (finally getting a working paradigm now?) and atrocities like Google Glass and that Samsung 'smart' watch.
It's kind of silly to worry about who 'owns' the land by historical right, when all of us live on land that was stolen from someone else, and all of us maintain our claim by force.
On a wholly separate topic, Monday is Columbus Day in the US...
Question: all of the regions on that map (even when zooming in) appear to be either average or above-average. What's the average calibrated against if there aren't any below-average data points? Is the rest of London really slightly-below-average enough to counterbalance the mess in the middle?
There is a certain degree of arrogance among passengers that goes along the lines of "if the crew can do this, so should I." Remember, in flight, the aircraft cabin is not a democracy. You take orders from the Captain and the Crew working on his or her behalf. If you do not, you can be forced, using whatever means necessary to attain compliance.
STFU and get on the other side of your locked cabin door, you glorified chauffeur.
And you've identified a big problem with laws: no matter how fair or neutrally they are written, they are interpreted and enacted by humans. Whereas machine code can be consistently and correctly be executed by a multitude of machines, the same cannot be said for laws.

Have you forgotten where you are?
"No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
Oh, no, I NEVER whine on Slashdot...
(shuffles feet uncomfortably, keeps staring at floor, tries to think of a way to change the subject...)
Had any hot grits lately?
"Until talking to yourself without a cell phone to your ear is socially acceptable"
Until? Have you been outside in the past ten years?
Slashdot user posting as AC... Yours was a rhetorical question, wasn't it?
McCoy would be in awe of a modern hospital.

Texas has too many fags.
You're right; staying adjacent to San Francisco should help them avoid the queers. /facepalm
Unfortunately, it's almost certain they'll declare war on secessionist.
Puhleeze, can you show me precedence for something like that?

But the one in Rome is infested with batshit crazy brainwashed doomsday cult members obsessed with sex they do nothing know about.
I thought you were going to explain why it's not like Apple?

No glass walls. No diagonal travel. Fewer buttons than a Wonkavator. Lame.
Obviously they need to write JavaScript in JavaScript.
So I can wait for code to run while I wait for code to run?
The other difference is that only one of them is in my spank bank.
But seriously, attractive women get away with more crap than the uggoes.
Or give them stone tablets. Upper body strength and moral instruction in one inexpensive package.
As I recall, that's what God gave Moses... And we all know how that turned out!!!
According to a documentary I saw, it caused him to drop and break one of the three tablets.
A careful observer would note that the editorial was written by one Bennett Haselton and not by Samzempus, the slashdot editor.
I agree with the second half of your post, however.
Are we sure that one of them isn't a sockpuppet of the other?
We try to be friendly to our colonies.
Just like a good parent to his adolescent child.
You confuse British manners and politeness with being submissive.
And you confuse passive aggression with aggression.

Maybe it's just Lake Woebegone writ large?
I pay less than that for a 10-year mortgage on a 5-bedroom house.
The free banjo playing kid in town must really seal the deal for you.
lol... no, the other quote,
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Anybody want a peanut?

Ditto. When I was 'invited' to the alpha, I mentioned several of the problems that others are mentioning today. It looks like not one shit was given.
I don't remember the exact string of characters, but I think your reply should include in part 'NO CARRIER' :)

The other 3% can't spell illiterate. ;)
Irony?
I filed for a trademark on Hot-Grits 3.
That's fine, I've trademarked the Naked and Petrified expansion pack.
