But the Twin has always been an amp that real men used to keep warm in winter. It's dual use means that it's really the world's best sounding space heater. I think the reverb coils are used as auxiliary heating elements.
Who the fuck would want to? Anyhow, all we're doing is talking about them. If they're too stupid to see the difference, well, that seems to go with that territory, don' it?
Amen. That site nails the reason why, too - designers who value visual aesthetics over legibility.
I understand why it happens - a contrasting font draws one's eye to the text, allowing the content, rather than the visual design to be the dominant feature on the page - and I'd imagine that's pretty hardwired into our visual perception. So the designer, knowing that he will win no design awards if the judges are distracted from the design by all of that contrasting text, chooses crappy, low-contrast designs. This is another reason why designers (UX and otherwise), in general, are a menace. They are the reason the "UX" across so many sites is sooooo wonderful.
What relevancy does the "rest of the airline experience" have? Other than setting the service floor at the "not exactly amazing" level? You aren't going to get on a flight just because your internet connection experience is sooooo wonderful, are you?
The fact that you don't see describing your mode as brutal as a problem shows you're a bit of a jerk... Sorry, we need to be brutal here, as it's the mode you prefer.
Subtle trolling takes too much thought - we hire out to foreigners who speak the language well enough to recognize patterns and send out the appropriate canned troll/astroturf message.
What's kind of funny is the web is slowly slouching towards a dubious re-inventing of the past 50 years of computing without bothering to learn anything about the old mistakes.
And this has been true of every technology change - from hardwired to microcoded computers to IC-based machines to microcomputes to SoCs, from mainframes to minis to workstations to PC's to phones and tablets, from Lisp to Scheme to Clojure, from Algol to Simula to Java, from standalone programs to client-server to web to Web x.y. The only surprising thing is that we continue to be surprised by this. The barbarians are always at the gate waiting for the next technological advances to release their supposed ignorance. But who's the bigger fool? The barbarian, or the one who doesn't acquiesce? We can see where the future lies. Make your bed for you must lie in it.
"No" and "Who gives a shit" respectively. Show us that the conversions needed to do this provide enough financial benefit to make any sort of sense. I don't think it will pencil out.
You bet! That's why the thermostats at our offices are set at a balmy 43F. Any employee that slacks off after lunch loses an article of clothing, too. Perks the pace right up!
I'm glad you found the truth - that being more careful with pointer math and biasing array memory structures more is truly a blessing. May you also discover the higher truth that coding in languages that need no such nonsense (as their automated memory allocation and deallocation routines have been far better debugged than yours) is even more blessed and may lead you more quickly to the communion with defect-free code you desire.
A key question for communities that have migrated to G+ is where they're going to move to. If Google's other de-emphasized products are any indication, G+'s days may be numbered.
How about people are more aware of it and reporting it more? That seems at least as likely as your misdiagnosis/expansion theory. And, by the way, just because there's expansion of a category doesn't mean it's wrong to do so. It may be that experts recognize a linkage they might not have seen before, figured out that people who were previously seen as "close" to diagnostic boundaries are actually seen to suffer as much as those seen to be well within the initial boundary, a cure becomes available for something, etc.
You seem to come from the point of view that expansions of care indicate nefarious intent on someone's part. You fail to see that the world, and thus, the boundaries we draw upon our realities, change. Your paranoia in the face of it is unbecoming.
For folks who pride themselves on rationality, you idiots are vastly underestimating the complexity of biological systems. It's almost like you have a model that biological entities were simple clockwork mechanism designed by a higher power or something.
Give up the irrationality and paranoia - sometimes cures are just far away. You want cures? Commit to the hard work they take to find.
They had new security features in their CPU's already. They needed partners in the security industry to integrate same.
McAfee was an early partner. Intel thought they did a reasonably good job at integrating the new features (prototypes of DeepCommand, etc.). At the time, Intel's hardware lines were saturating (except in mobile where they were still scrambling to catch up), they thought they'd done OK with the Wind River acquisition, so why not buy an evergreen cash generator of a software company? So they did.
Of course, it sort of borked their relationship with the rest of the security industry. And neither McAfee nor Intel really zoomed from the "synergy", but it's generated revenue for Intel so it wasn't an awful acquisition - just one Intel thought would do a lot more than it actually did.
Intel (Renee James included), never really got software. At their heart, they're a hardware manufacturing company. And that leaks all over the rest of the organization - hardware and software. The impedance mismatch between the manufacturing-oriented management and the software organizations are really too great to be overcome - software is a stretch too far (let alone their abortive attempts at consumer products, about which I shall make no further comment).
Intel should continue to acquire strategic software organizations, but leave them as independent operating entities. Because, as it is right now, Intel is simply the Roach Motel of software acquisitions.

Did I just share a company secret?
No, but it is a lovely thought...
Assuming we kept the current economic models, we'd be driving millions of people into poverty and creating a super stratified ultra-rich class.
Ah, so you're talking about business as usual...
And, if you don't like it, you're free to try to leave again. This time, we Yankees probably wouldn't stop you.
they are talking about injectable venom, like a snake.
So they are talking about Bezos, right?

Stop writing so many of them?

When you let the Masters of the Universe (TM) take over, you get chaos, destruction, and fear. Better to simply say no.
At least as simple as computers.

There's far too much software out there that depends on having clocks close to in sync.

Because they just don't seem to have any good long term plans.
And we do?
