Yes, a proper terminal and a proper shell are two huge strikes against Windows in my opinion. Adding a package manager is a nice step forward for them, though. Too little, too late for me, but will be handy in those situations when I must use Windows.
I suggest a mixed crew, with a diversity of strengths and weaknesses. Plus for a super long journey (one which they may not return from), companionship from the opposite sex will likely be important for long term mental health.
In Canada, the Tim Hortons donut shop drive-thrus now have two lanes for ordering. These merge into a single lane and a single window for both payment and pickup.
I personally can't see how this speeds things up, since ordering is not the bottleneck in the process - it's the filling of orders that takes the most time. Why not have a single lane and two pickup windows? It's bizarre.
The call to speed up the ice lines is not an intellectual exercise. Unless there's a non-obvious major problem with making this change, this is something that could be done the very next year, and would save people thousands of person-hours waiting in line in the sun.
Nobody ever got fired for doing things the way they've always been done. Maybe it's time to change ice vendors to someone willing to serve it up faster.
I don't know, but I can't help but be impressed by their artificial intelligence research. Seems to me that investment will pay off big as it is already having success.
In addition, I've wasted too much time on crippled versions of apps, like graphics editing programs that don't let you save to disk in the "lite" version. Should be called the "does nothing useful" version.
Google analytics and ads are everywhere so even if you don't directly use their services like Search and GMail, you are still being tracked by them. Also, your browser sends referrer headers which tells whatever site you're visiting where you came from. Your browser + browser plugin profile can be used to narrow down who you are even behind Tor. Browser plugins like Adobe Flash save their own set of cookies separate from regular browser cookies. If you use the Internet, you're being tracked. You may be able to help yourself be tracked _less_ by taking some precautions, but that's about it, I think, for the average person. I used FB for years before finally closing my account down. No doubt that data will stay in their system forever. Like a drug, better to not start at all than to have to quit. Basically it boils down to: law enforcement are going to do what they're going to do. I know I'm being tracked, I try and keep my nose clean, and whatever happens happens. I'm not going to live my life all paranoid.
Yes, exactly! I bought a truck and later got an ad to... buy a truck. I've actually tried searching facebook (before I closed my acct.) for products I'm interested in buying and it didn't turn up anything useful. So, back I went to the individual store websites to look for a bargain. I was frustrated because hey, I know what I want, I just _told_ you what I want and you aren't showing me useful products. Facebook would rather track me covertly over time and suggest things I *might* need than listen to me when I tell it exactly what I need right now. Give me a site that is nothing but ads and let me search them. Forget sprinkling them here, there, and everywhere. I think I have clicked on less than 5 ads in my entire life with serious intention to buy.
I figured as much, just based on my cursory review of the EULA. That's why I haven't even logged in to any of my accounts using the Win10 preview.
I'm not sure why they force people to post on a forum to provide feedback - include a feature right in the preview OS that lets you submit feedback (simple, like how Firefox does it).
Anyway, if I can't even enter any data without being spied on, there's not much I can do in the way of providing real usage scenarios. And since I'm not even being paid to evaluate Win10, then really it's a lose or don't win situation.
Interesting - I was just going to say that the 80s were the heyday of Saturday morning cartoons! I guess it didn't bother me that they were "advertisements" as you say. I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons faithfully every single weekend. As for today, I wish there were good prime time cartoons that were kid friendly.
You may be forgetting the "genetically diverse" part of his statement. Is 100 women (and 100 men) diverse enough? Possible ugly side of this discussion: If someone was bent on ethnic cleansing, limiting who can travel to a new planet would have the same net effect.
A third option: run an extension cord to the neighbour's house and pay them a monthly rate, thereby evening out the connection cost across several neighbours.

AI isn't as scary as biological manipulation: new species, new diseases, ...
"Lum" in Lumia rhymes with "gloom". No hard sounds like "T" or "K". I'm not a naming expert, but I don't care for it.
I put the smiley at the end of my sentence in to indicate that I was making the comment in jest, but thanks for looking out for me.
Hence the saying: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

The CEOs must have gone to the same seminar. It's the only reason I can think of. :)

Tomorrow can mean many things. In a couple billion years, Earth will be a lifeless planet. So your worry about obamacare, etc.. is really moot.
You get to have a crappy experience today and a better experience "tomorrow". Welcome to the bleeding^Wblurry edge of technology.

I've held my arm over my head just for fun when trying to sleep and at the moment you doze off, your arm falls on you.

In my opinion, the only flying cars will hit mainstream is if they are exclusively computer-driven. Average people can't be trusted to fly.

I can see where this is going.. Account deactivated.
Like on a modern mobile device, sandbox your apps so they don't clutter the whole system and when they're erased, they're completely gone.

Forget about sanitizing our spaceships - it proves very little. Spread life around the galaxy! It is our duty.

Same with news outlets - just look at Fox News.
