I think the plaintiffs should have to present some evidence why they believe it is likely the President would abuse this forum to broadcast "arbitrary, biased, irrational" messages.
I received the following alert this morning, just before noon PST.

Yeah, they should follow SANE numbering schemes.... like lots of open-source projects do.

Even if you limit yourself to Windows, these are not the best devices.
We've got a number of users in our department who have purchased Microsoft devices - Surfaces, Surface Books, etc. The recent ones do look sleek, I'll give them that - but they seem to frequently run into lots of nagging problems.
Just rewatch the scene from Minority Report where Tom Cruise tries to stay anonymous while walking by some advertisements. Then watch it again, and again.
It’s getting back to the point where the *only* way to find many movies and shows you want to watch is by finding the torrent.
Netflix likes to pretend they’ve got a huge audience for their self-produced stuff - just like they tried to pretend everyone was rating it five stars. I know there are some folks who like that stuff, but in my experience it’s a pretty limited group.
Back when my wife and I first got married, there was this semi-feral cat that used to hang out in my father-in-law’s shop. That thing would lay down on the top of a lit cast-iron wood stove.
Quantum physics is ultimately very unsatisfying, no matter how well it works. You always have the feeling that it's a working kludge,...
I agree with the first part of this. But, when I was studying quantum mechanics, I can’t say I felt it was a “kludge”. I felt like it was this completely non-intuitive, abstract mathematical model which had no reason to work... but somehow did, every freaking time it was tested against something as-yet unknown.
It was a real problem for me since I tend to be an intuitive learner. I learned the equations, but never really could wrap my mind around the science as a whole.
It's funny... I have a relatively big monitor, full-size keyboard, and ethernet adapter (plus a Magic Trackpad) on my desk at work. But, when I sit down at my desk and open up my MacBook Pro, 90% of the time I just work using its own keyboard and 13" monitor. At least half the time I don't bother plugging in the ethernet adapter, unless I'm going to be doing some sort of heavy-duty file transfer activity - our wifi is pretty good, and and I'm generally using ssh anyway (plus we have a VPN available).
I still use the Magic Trackpad, most of the time. I like its size, and I like that it's not under my wrists when I'm typing and "mousing".
Took a few days to adjust to it, but for most tasks I strongly prefer it to a mouse.
Now the second-generation Magic Mouse, on the other hand... what idiot creates a mouse with a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery but puts the charging port on the underside so you can't charge it and use it at the same time?! Seems typical of Ive's recent work - all about looks, practical considerations aren't even an afterthought.
The Pacific Northwest flu season tends to have a later onset, for whatever reason. So that, combined with my mad procrastination skillz, means I often don’t get around to getting the shot until November or even early December.
It’s only the source for the two ancient versions mentioned - 1.25 and 2.0. It’s been a while (obviously), but I don’t think MS-DOS got interesting until 3.x... and the final release was 8.0.
Don’t think this will replace your FreeDOS, in other words.
There is no question that Hans Reiser wrote good code, but he was also extremely abusive to the kernel team, and thus made it very difficult for anyone to work with him.
Well, given that he ended up murdering someone - perhaps the kernel team should consider themselves relatively lucky.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh! Holy Wars. Maybe this one will be better than the Vi-Emacs one.
Nah. Either way, all the combatants do is type vicious comments on their devices.
I can understand... these startups can’t afford the license fees Red Hat charges.

Seriously, I expect that trump will push major changes in the west over this.
He’s already tweeted that affected companies should pick up and move their manufacturing to Russia.

It was as if his fur were made of asbestos.
Except one Iraqi dude had a +5 mace.
I'm sure the UK would throw a national security exception on publishing that patent. Maybe they did, and it's in use in their military.
The Untold Story - How the British really won the Second Falklands War.
Perhaps this is related to that new security feature which disables access to iOS devices after an hour.

The only logical choice for Chairman would be Takeshi Kaga.

On a related note - thank you for FreeDOS!
A joint isn't a crime, man. It is just a plant.
And it’s not even mine!

That hasn’t been Apple’s “main programming language” for some time now.
Editing is important.
You must be new here!
(Seriously, that has to be one of the worst summaries I’ve read in quite a while)
