Thereby locking in the Microsoft experience and making it easier for customers to use the computers rather than considering putting Mint on them because Microsoft products are too much hassle.
At worst, this would be Microsoft being seeing as exploiting a market rather than beating up somebody who is trying to make their OS available to everyone.
I think it's fair to say that more has gone on in terms of civilizations than what we understand today.
There are many ancient architectural and scientific mysteries that suggest greater levels of sophistication than we believe their creators could have had.
Along with that, nature is a lot more destructive than we can imagine - I remember the first time I saw an actual Ulfbrerht sword/made from the finest steel, but reduced to basically flakes in a thousand years which suggests that time will eliminate traces of technology.

The most likely answer is that there hasn't been anything before our civilization, otherwise I would think we'd find definite proof of it.
That's great that the stickers are unlawful (as they should be) but what about things like fingerprint scanners on cell phones?
IIRC, there was an issue with Apple where the iPhone fingerprint lock wouldn't work if it was removed/replaced by a third party. This seems like a reasonable restriction from the customer's perspective.
Launch insurance is common - payload insurance (especially for classified payloads where insurance companies can't see the payload), not so much.
I would expect that the original technology used for the first Zuma will be superseded by newer, better components which means that there will be a substantial redesign which will cost at least $3.5B.
When you've been selling to the US Government since before WWII, you know how things work in your favour.
I suspect that it doesn't matter how much SpaceX complains, it's going to be very difficult beating a Beltway pro like Northrop-Grumman in who gets the ultimate blame in Washington.
If I could bet on things, Northrop-Grumman would get another $3.5B to replicate Zuma and SpaceX will have to undergo an extensive Air Force review of the Falcon 9, the fairing, their launch procedures and aspects of their design.
If you took Psych 101, you'd know that the horror movie would get the adrenalin flowing in your date and that would be associated with you - you're perceived as an exciting guy and all it took was $13.50, a coke and popcorn.
Erroneously reporting the death of a famous person in various forms of media has been going on a lot longer than Facebook has been around.
Bill Shatner should be pleased that people actually care whether or not he's alive - there are a lot of octogenarian TV & movie stars that when somebody hears their name reply with "I thought they were dead."
I, along with a number of people in my class, did six co-op terms at IBM and was hired by the company. One of my classmates asked me what I was making and I told her - it turned out to be $25/month more than she was.
She complained to her manager and almost ended up getting fired.
I'm sure if you go back to the 1960s, 1940s, 1920s, etc. you would see the same complaint; "These days the journalist do not fully research the topic."
I had a discussion on another flying car on the AvWeek website a year or so ago where a company is testing their design in Southern California where there's no wild temperature swings/rain/snow/fog and they were hoping to get it certified but really didn't think about the weather elsewhere on the planet (or even the United States where the North East is getting it's third Blizzard in two weeks).
I thought the weather in New Zealand was fairly benign, which I would think is a good starting point, but doesn't really help with certifying the aircraft for the rest of the world.
While it's always interesting to see what is going in and out of GitHub, I don't feel like it's going to be a good predictor of what you should be focusing on to be highly desirable in the market six months to a year in a future (when you've mastered programming in the language).
If I was coaching somebody looking at what to look at towards the future, I would be recommending (in order of priority) Go, WebAssembly (built from C source) and then Swift will probably be in high demand towards the end of 2018 with few coders skilled in them and there being a need for apps on the Google, Mac and web platforms.
My phone is primarily for calls, texting, taking photos/videos and putting on social media and a limited number of emails (mostly in the cases of business emergencies). I'm not a big app guy.
My iPhone 5 (no letter extension) works perfectly for this and I am still getting decent battery life - except for the case where it gets dropped in a blender, why would I consider anything else?
Any comments on whether or not this technique can be used for testing apps (or even unit testing methods) as well as security testing?
I realize that this approach requires mondo cycles and a fair amount of time, but if the end result was insight into algorithm (and maybe compiler) flaws as well as new security exploits, it would be worth the investment.
You believe a cab driver when he tells you that he's actually a doctor (or engineer, or whatever)?
Man, are you gullible.
I have known a number of doctors and engineers (have helped the engineers get accreditation in Canada) and, while the process can be difficult and a bit scary, if they're legitimate professionals, they will go through the process.
Amazingly enough, there are a ton of cardiologists driving cabs in Toronto that find the process of getting accredited too difficult which is a good thing if they can't navigate the Ontario Medical Association, I don't think they should be anywhere near a heart.
The only reason why I can think that this isn't an issue with cabs is that most cab drivers look like they are much more likely to cause a serious accident than help out with one.

What's the difference between an "inexplicably large and pure concentration" and a vein of ore?
Google has been working on the Chrome UI since last year and all they've come up with is a square/rounded shape to tabs rather than a trapezoidal one?
Any company that's this worried and putting in this much effort into such minutia is clearly going to be missing the big issues.

Are any of the comics still available for sale?
I expect this to be the response from most people.

2001 is not a film/story that you can just watch once and walk away.
I see an AC claiming that it doesn't have a beginning, middle and end (it most definitely does).
Arthur C. Clarke wrote quite a bit about the concepts behind the story, the film, the process of writing and filming it as well as people's reactions.
Watch it, read about it, talk to other people about it. You'll be amazed at what you discover.
Didn't you ever go to Psych 101 in which they TOLD you that if you wanted your date to find you exciting, take her to a horror movie?
Where I can read a book, made of paper, in peace.
C'mon folks, nobody needs to be so connected that every room and every device within them are waiting for your beck and call to Google.

Aren't you talking about /. Karma?
In any case, my comment was reacting to the idea of charging people for commenting - make it worth their while to put in an intelligent comment.
I'm sure if you go back to the 1960s, 1940s, 1920s, etc. you would see the same complaint; "These days the journalist do not fully research the topic."
I don't think this is a new issue.
How about positively reinforcing insightful/interesting/informative/funny comments?

Unfortunately, Visual Studio is still something that colleges and universities rely upon when teaching students.
That means that VC++, C#, .NET are the tools students are entering the job market with.
