Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 21st century? Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky, and in Facebook and Windows 10 File Explorer. But not in dreams, no siree.
Or maybe it's a chicken-egg problem and Microsoft decided to make the first step. Or maybe they're seeing more requests for Windows Server on ARM and they've made projections about future demand and it's going to happen soon according to their numbers.
If you manage a server farm, you have to worry about power consumption: 1. the more power you require, the more heat you generate 2. the more heat you generate, the more cooling you require 3. the more your hardware runs on higher temperatures, the lower its lifespan
Granted, #3 might not be relevant with rapidly changing technologies, but then again there's still companies out there using old servers running COBOL and FORTRAN so you never really know how long your servers will run. Could be a year, could be a decade, could be a quarter of a century.
It may be in the blurb, but whoever wrote it doesn't know that you don't give the definition of an acronym after using it multiple times. It's supposed to follow the first mention in parenthesis, i.e. "As per the latest announcement, Google AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is rolling out..."
Another point of view would be that highways are more than adequate for decades, it's selfish people who don't use mass transit and idiots living one hour away from work that are the problem.

Tim Horton's has the same motto as the police: "To serve and protect".
If it's anything like maple tree tapping, all you need is a spile of appropriate size for your wire.
We're too busy trying to not freeze to death because we all live in igloos.

Big-ass fries? Oh wait...
I think I'll wait for the transistors version.

Linux servers on Raspberry Pi have been happening for years now, and it should worry Microsoft.
We're talking about Windows Vista, right? Poor thing was dead out of the gate.

Rap should be classified as poetry. In the chart, it would go right below Vogon poetry.
I agree that rap is fucking garbage. On the other hand, you also have to agree that western and country music are also fucking garbage.
That's still better than my grampa. He thinks the toaster is an orange.
You know what's funny? I'm working on a popcorn eating robot.
I did, then I calculated that the robots would jump 3.75 times per year.
I think they mean the robots will be able to jump 15x higher. It's probably to reach the higher shelves of the warehouses.
Ever heard of the phrase "An angry man is an enemy, and a satisfied man is an ally"?

Won't neighbourhood roads get destroyed pretty fast if you redirect highway traffic through them?
How about finding ways to push the utilisation rate of those mass transit buses instead?
