Don't be an asshole. One of my friends is an iron-ring-wearing, B.Eng. holding, stamp-owning, Professional Software Engineer registered with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia.
So they do exist, and a lot of universities offer majors in Software Engineering.
Casual gamers are playing games on their phones. NIntendo fucked themselves over by not bothering to put out any titles at all for the Wii during its entire run.
Oh sure, you had a couple of Mario games, one Zelda, and... No More Heroes? I think that was about it. The rest were junk, they never released a "greatest hits" $20 version of any titles until early in 2012, and there's nothing compelling in the library.
Jerk off over the hardware all you want. No games -- no sales.
And again, people who want to play a game casually for five minutes at a time are going to whip out their phone and play a $1 game.
I'd rather just use booze. At least when you lose data, don't answer your phone, can't perform simple tasks, and have a general bungling ineptitude there's a socially acceptable excuse. You don't get that with WP.
You do still get the splitting headache in the morning.
You want a walled garden? That's iOS and Apple. They win. Look what MS did to Apple in the 90s. That's who and where you are now, bottom bunk in a Turkish prison.
You want the ability to do anything you want? That's Android. I can transfer any of the files I... rented... to my HTC, watch em when I want, listen to the music I like, and it works with any computer on the planet as long as it's got either a USB port or Bluetooth. Would a Windows 7/8 phone be able to sync with my dad's four-year-old phone and drag off the photos? No. I can link my freakin' WATCH to my Android.
MS wants a proprietary system, specialized software, and total lockdown. I can't transfer files via Bluetooth, or USB, or anything else. Just your software, your walls, your garden. Sure, it's pretty, but I can throw that skin onto my Android.
I've used VS before. Nothing like being unable to run a program you've written because it's unsigned. True, I could be admin all the time but you never can be on a phone, since they're usually feature-locked by the Telco.
I thought the same thing with Dr. Octopus. "Never mind his fusion flameball thing or whatever the fuck it is, he could get billions off the patents in the manipulator arms and the power source that he's running THOSE with. Hell, each of those is Nobel material on its own."
But they leave off the ones that have actually been realized. Communicators the size of a lapel pin were wild conjecture at the time of the original series.
And these actually exist in real life. One of the hospitals in my home city uses a Voceracommunication system. You press your lapel button, say the name of the person you want to talk to, and it opens a fucking communication channel between the two of you.
People overlook the simple things. I thought the most impressive part of Iron Man was the AI. "Holy fuck, his computer is telling a joke when it's not helping him design a suborbital flight suit." "Now it's bringing up the files on everyone he's flying past?"
True, but I haven't ever seen a man I've found attractive that way. The inverse has occasionally been true, and it's been pretty cool to hear, but it's just not my preference.
Professionals use professional equipment like MATLAB or Solidworks. I know, it's not 1851 Moby Dick, we use computers for this shit now. But you have to know HOW to use it, and when.
Best practices in Engineering are to use two computers and two different programs (if possible, using two different architectures and OSes). You then check to see if your first-order approximation was about the same.
So your hand calculations give you a rough idea, then the computers will give you the precision. You then round up to the next size. Otherwise you get things like Cave-On-Foods. Computers give you the exact answer to the question you asked, which isn't always the question you MEANT to ask.
That's explained in the last half of your last year.

No, because once everyone is wearing these, the goggles will just photoshop out the goggles everyone else is wearing.
Yep, that's why it's an MCSP in Canada.
They give away phones here in Canada when you sign up for plans.
The plans are hilariously expensive, but you get the hardware for free.
Slow day at work.
I was getting a little worried about where it was heading. "Is the IT department going to flag this?"
Okay, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw that. Seemed like the story author has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

Aw, you feeling blue?
I see you had trouble filling out the list too. ;)
Doesn't really matter, my ex took the Wii when she moved out and I bought an XBox instead.
No.

No. You're FUCKED without compatibility.

What's the advantage to getting a Windows phone?
There isn't one.
[slow clap]
Eh, the documentation is even shittier than Linux's, if you can believe it.
Plus, every five lines there's a TODO comment.
I would guess they keep the ship above the away team.
You never hear them say "align the ships" but two space ships encountering each other are always on the same plane.
I work next door to the YMCA. When it's nice, it's very very nice.
I teach classes there too, I get a free membership.

I know, shh, they're comic books.
Actually, I could probably whip up something that would let you do that with a small add-on. I've built satellite communicators before.
Skin tight leotards as a women's businesswear.
On the west coast, yoga pants are considered business casual. There's probably a reason for that, but I don't care because... because yoga pants.

Maybe, all my favorite positions involve the phrase "woman on top".
Heh.

The correct punchline is "all of them".
Try to get references. ;)
People will decide whether to be your friend or not based on the first impression you give. We're all superficial morons.
I'm 35, you chronologically-insensitive clod. And I am recently separated, but she wasn't a beard.
