Take a look at a platypus sometime. I mean, the damn things are basically beavers with webbed feed and a duck's bill. And they lay eggs. It's like he took all the left over bits from other creations and just tossed them together in a salad bowl.
Or, as Robin Williams postulated, the platypus is proof that God smokes pot.
Spoken like someone who has never, ever written an OS or even bits of systems level code. Writing a solid OS is orders of magnitude harder than writing an application.
You don't need an OS for that. What would be needed would be an application suite that handles everything on his wish list seamlessly. It could run on any OS.
Wrong. The judge is supposed to be an unbiased advocate of the law. His or her job is to conduct the trial and ensure that the rights of both the defendant and the People are protected. In practice of course few judges are totally unbiased, but that's how it is supposed to work. The presumption of innocence is just what it sounds like. It has nothing to do with the judge having a bias, and a judge is certainly not an advocate for the defendant.
Stealing Bitcoins and pushing spam. Bah, what is Google about ? Stealing data and pushing their spam on first position.
Google doesn't 'steal' anything. They make it perfectly clear what their privacy policy is. They also don't push spam. They're an advertising company. They give people free services. Those people who choose to use those services are agreeing to their terms.
No, it's not size. It's being publicly traded. There are laws and rules that require publicly traded companies to maximize stockholder profit. Google went public, and thus now they can't have the same culture they once did. It's pretty simple.
It makes perfect sense. Both activities involve the same types of selective process that guides evolution in general, be it biological evolution or financial.
On what planet have you ever seen HR give someone a performance review? Certainly, HR departments have a great deal of power, but in every organization I've worked in they had zero input with regards to performance reviews. Those are done by management.
Obvious troll (or shill) is obvious. I'm not sure why anyone who seriously wondered about this would be the type of person who frequents/.
I have an 80+ connection via FIOS and I sometimes consider upgrading it to an even higher speed. I download ISO's frequently as well as other large software packages, mostly for work. People also share connections at home. My wife can be streaming Netflix while I download a Linux distro or some other large package and we both have the service we need.
Seriously. Starbucks is about the best example of the 'Emperor's Clothes' syndrome in the fast food market. Their burnt, overroasted coffee is atrocious!
To be fair, you can really only say that if you've never been to SBP in SF or, say, RBK in Berkeley...
SBP isn't as overpriced like a lot of more pretentious places but it isn't all that. I was totally unimpressed at Revival Bar+Kitchen. It was ok but the service was mediocre.
Maybe Snowden should go to China. Now, if the US places sanctions on China, that would be funny.
It would actually hurt China quite a bit. The US is their #1 customer. I'm not saying it wouldn't hurt the US too but it certainly wouldn't be trivial to China.
In very rare cases does someone need to take any supplements at all. If one pays attention to having a proper diet one can get all the vitamins needed naturally. Part of the whole vitamin craze is how lazy people are. It can take some thought and effort to eat a healthy diet containing all the nutrients a body needs to thrive. It's quite worth doing so though.
You have no clue about my life or who I know. Most of my friends and acquaintances are not IT people. Some of us have lives outside of IT. If you don't I'm sorry, but that doesn't apply to me. Your retort was WORSE than USELESS.
The thing is windows is horrible at printing. It is completely backwards hard to implement, etc. we have plug and play hard drives the ability to resize displays on the fly yet printers require complicated set ups huge drivers loaded with crap and you still have a chance to get two different outputs from the same file.
Publishers avoid printing from windows instead send PDFS directly to the machines.
None of the bloat issues are the fault of Windows' printing model. They are the fault of manufacturers who feel they need to bundle tons of software with their printers.

>> point me to the right meme I'm supposed to employ against evil scientists
Try this: Those dumb scientists are blaming climate change for everything, including killing the Mammoths.
It was obviously all the SUV's that Cro Magnons were driving.

It's most likely going to hit a backbone that the US has control over at some point.

There are no nuclear weapons in orbit. It's been forbidden for decades under treaty.
Yes, this is rather silly. I use my PS3, Tivo, and my Asus Transformer. They all work just fine with Netflix.
No, it's not size. It's being publicly traded. There are laws and rules that require publicly traded companies to maximize stockholder profit. Google went public, and thus now they can't have the same culture they once did. It's pretty simple.
There's less of a chance they'll have access, though.
Not really. They will have just about as much access everywhere as they have in US based service providers.
Cutler and crew worked for Microsoft when they wrote it. Your comment was rather stupid :)
Patently false. Microsoft wrote the original NT kernel, although to be fair a lot of it was based on joint development they did with IBM on OS/2.

If it hasn't been launched and tested how can they say it 'will be' the 10th deepest diving sub ever?

The canal has been under the control of the Panamanian government since 1999.
There is no such thing as a safe website. These days any site can wind up hosting malware via banner ads that inject code.
AVG is relatively lightweight but I would suggest you test it and others on some of your target hardware.
