You haven't been paying attention to the way Microsoft works, have you? This has been typical for.... ummm.... as far as I can remember. Ship first, patch later and frequently.
Someone marked this as 'Insightful'? Seriously? Look, this is the price at launch. The description here says they're not initially targeting consumers with this. You didn't even have to read TFA to figure that much out.
Sun = Poorly run company with great products Oracle = Masterfully run company with shitty products
I wonder how that DNA is going to come together...
Probably they'll combine the great company with the great products, then spin off a second company that is shitty with the shitty products, call it Yahoo, and hope MS buys it (or that it gets some bailout money).
They are the seeds of the internet. You plant some and sprinkle them with bits. Eventually they grow into a huge series of tubes. How do you think the internet was created? With lots and lots of netbeans.
And then you run it through the digestive tract of some Cat5e and sell it as 'Java,' an over-hyped, over-priced 'solution' to all your problems.
His feud with Dr. Rick Marshall is becoming more widely known, and with the impending documentary detailing how Hawking has been proven so amazingly WRONG, it seems obvious this is merely a stunt to distract the scientific community. Pulling the illness card is a sad attempt at detracting from the release of this informative documentary.
Like any language, that depends on what you're trying to do. If you want to format the output of a date, there's not much built-in, so you have to do it yourself. If you want proper hash support, you're screwed. It can emulate it to a certain extend, but only goes so far.
"Vista today, post-Service Pack 2, which is now in the marketplace, is the safest, most reliable OS we've ever built. It's also the most secure OS on the planet, including Linux and open source and Apple Leopard. It's the safest and most secure OS on the planet today."
See any serious problems with this story?
Do I see any serious problems with this story? Uh, yeah, maybe one or two...
I'm not sure why this is news - MS says this about every OS release they put out...
Web Developer seems to be the best fit. Unless you actually know some principles of user interface design or development, don't put 'UI' in your title. Clint-Side Developer would be good if the person never touches anything like PHP/ASP, etc., and if they do, then 'Front-End Developer' would fit (front-end describes more than the client-side).
Sure. Most people don't seem to realize that 'First Post' is part of the meta data of the file system. That's why it seems like nonsense - it really has nothing to do with anything, and the 'people' posting them seem like morons. Artificial stupidity was achieved years ago!
I dunno about that. I'm pretty sure that if your only tool is a hammer, all of your problems start looking like nails . . . allowing the hammer to be "applied" to every application . ..
I think an SSD would make for a very expensive hammer. Still, think about the low latency of such a hammer! Plus with the wear levelling feature, the useful life of and SSD hammer seems like it would be much more reliable over a spinning disc hammer. And the lower power requirements could pay for itself very quickly if you have an entire server room of carpenters. I don't think they did the math right on this one.
Three wheelers have terrifying cornering problems. Note that you can't buy three wheeled ATVs anymore because too many people drove them like four wheeled cars and killed themselves.
That would depend on the configuration. If you have the two wheels up front, and the rear wheel the one with power, that changes the dynamics considerably.

> shouldn't they patch the version XP shipped with instead?
They did. The patch is called "IE8".
The patch is called 'Firefox'.

Erm...'frequently'?

Windows 8 - To sideways-infinity AND BEYOND!
it might as well be green letters on a black background.
I'm confused. What's wrong with that?
Ohhh, you must be one of those people that prefer _amber_ letters on a black background!
I always thought you guys were a bit strange...(no offense)
Where would he have hosted it? Geocities is dead!
MyMiniCity?
I didn't RTFA yet, but "x-ray laser" screams "soon to be defense contract". I wonder what they will blow up with it?
Dude, the question is, "What WON'T they blow up with it?"
Can it give me super powers if it accidentally hits me?!
Yes. It can make you disappear instantly. But only the one time.

I think we're all seeing the checks, not so much with the balances...

Still, best of luck, Dr. Hawking.
(Oh, and Matt Lauer can *eat it*!)
First, JavaScript is a very nice language indeed.

I'd _much_ rather see a scriptable version of D.
I hate developing using old tools.
I hate developing for old fools.

We learned another important detail about Conficker. Not only does it destroy software, but it feeds on fiber!
Fortunately, an anti-Conficker program has been developed. It's called 'Super Colon-Blow'.
A loss of communication could only mean one thing: Invasion.
Rogerroger!
I don't get it... How would that help Verizon sell you additional services?
You spelled 'servitude' incorrectly...

News at 11!
I think it looks more like a Warthog.
I think a Warthog looks *much* better.

Few sources without a vested interest are equipped with the tracking radars and other equipment needed to verify whether or not the launch failed.
Where are the Lone Gunmen when you need them?
