For the clueless, certain global cell format changes force Excel to instantiate all the virtual cells way off to the ends of the Earth, resulting in hundred+ MB saves.
Excel editing! This is impressive -- I created a spreadsheet in Excel of my shopping list (hot dogs, buns, tp) yesterday and when I saved it it was over 2 gigabytes. If Chrome can handle that, wow!
Strap that JATO unit to your pack as you fall off a cliff, Microsoft. Already my next home machine may very well be an Android tablet. I sure as hell won't be buying a computer (or any games for that matter) that require this. Not supplying it for my Windows 7 machine will just help learn to live without it even faster.
Some of those are nasty. Others are just normal, expected behavior. Governments represent their citizens' interests especially when it is in line with what the country is already doing. This is not sinister behavior.
He refused to release it. Therefore he must have had something to hide. The political costs of not releasing were obvious. Therefore he decided releasing it would be even worse.
If Obama's massive spending and borrowing scared the shit out of investors, dragging out the recovery, then Obama was literally about 50,000 times worse than Romney, assuming you wanted to assign all Bain blame to Romney.
For this not to be true, you have to hope and pray investors are not signicantly scared and skittish when politicians spend out of control and scream the only way out is increasing taxes on them.
NO. I'm sure I'm wrong. Go on about your business.
How many outraged would have cheered this legislation as originally applied to the Big 3?
(Some hot air about competition to the cheers of useful idiots) and therefore they can't (and politicians' pockets get lined by a different faction.)
How many yelping now about "this is not what America is about!!!" will forget that the next issue that comes around when some politician (blows hot seductive air to useful idiots who cheer wildly) and does the un-American, un-Freedom economic thing (and gets his pockets lined?)
Probably the biggest problem humanity faces os that your political narrative still carries weight. Actual measured results dictate otherwisr, that your concerns are not just unfounded, but that political activity based on them is counterproductive.
All measurements show quality and length of life increasing as this process occurs. It is bumpy with minimum granularity of 10 years, but it is inexorable and demonstrated, predictively, over and over again.
He needs to be jailed for not getting licensing to buy those machines!
He needs to be jailed for not getting licensing to run tests on humans!
He needs to be jailed for not getting permission for this particular human experiment!
He needs to be jailed for not asking if it was ok to simply waste his money on machines without getting permission, because medicine is so expensive we need government control even of private entities buying things. Oops, strike that. That's just Canada. For now.

The average slashdotter has been visualizing orgasming successfully inside beautiful Hollywood starlets for over 15 years now. How's that mapping to real-world dating success, I wonder, like leaving the basement.
Yes, the article mentions 90,000 kph of the ions. Compare vs. what, maybe a few kph for chemical rocket exhause? The obvious difference in reaction mass speed shows tremendous relative efficiency.
The real gem will be in a future accelerator that can do a noticeable fraction of the speed of light.
This is why I'm for strengthening, not weakening, the takings clause.
If The People, in their infinite wisdom, think something is So Damned Important, they they should pay for it. Just like Police or Fire departments.
Same goes for environmemtal study burdens. Seriously. It ends the fraud of grinding things to a halt becaise someone can't afford the studies and lawyers.
If it's so damned important to The People, The People should pay for it. Remember, we've merely ended the unofficial reason for these laws, stopping hings by fiinancial burden. Which every citizen should be disgusted by.
This is the final barrier to switching to it as a desktop, or laptop on the sofa. Major games. Which requires mainline hardware adoption.
When fps and mmos with big iron 3D run on this (sorry Pocket Legends, you're cool but it's the pockets bit that doesn't cut it long term!) then it's time to buy the moving van from Windows, as I did from Mac long ago. The trifecta will be on Android -- surfing, office apps, and big games. Then only price remains...and the Big Mo of cachet.
It occurs to me the Quicklaunch Bar is kind of like a tiny tile area -- I have about 2 dozen programs and reference documents there, move mouse down to hidden task bar, it pops up, boom.
The problem with tiles is the combination of tiny screens and relatively giant icons aka tiles to press with not a mouse but giant fumble fingers adds a multiplicative effect to ugliness. You are boosting clickee size while shrinking room for arrays of clickies.
According to the song, something else is completely over his head, too.
I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees I looked at her and she at me And that's the way that I want it to be I always want to be that way for my Lola Lo lo lo lo lo lo Lola
Ya this was vector design, which was a massive pipeline thing, akin to an assembly line with stages. The ends, and overhead were no great shakes, but once it churned on a long batch of numbers, boom!
The question is valid though. IIRC, in the late 90s, high-end PCs were about equal to the first Cray.
"the next task is to stop it from being a platform for massive surveillance, and make it work in a way that respects human rights, including privacy"
Good. Is everybody now aware of the difference between warrantless, untracked government surveillance, and Amazon putting you into a list of potential Depends buyers?
I read a book from the 1960s once that discussed this in the context of the English Parliament.
The inability to permanently give up your freedom (as in the old question as to whether you can sell yourself into slavery) should not be interpreted as a paternalistic rule, but rather as the essence of inalienability. You simply cannot give up a right and expect government enfforcement of stripping that right.
You could contract to a slavelike relationship, but if you violated it, it would be a civil contractual violation. Government would have no authority to gather you up and send you back.
The Constitution grants the government powers, not rights. Only people have rights. Governments are created by people who grant the government certain limited, well-defined powers over those rights, powers specifically listed, and no others.
The battle over the Bill of Rights was between two factions, one of whom feared the very act of listing some would make future politicians claim those were the only rights. The other faction feared that without it, future politicians would claim those rights, so transparently obvious to the Founding Fathers, did not actually exist.
Sadly, both factions were correct. Modern politicians on both sides claim the right exists if it supports their goals, and claim it doesn't if it gets in the way of their power grabs or pandering.

Beat me to it. This is what governments do -- spend shitloads of money for questionable value, paying way more than they should.
