It seems that the author and/. still believe that hobbyists, pirates and hackers make up a significant fraction of the total number of PC users. Regular people and businesses buy new laptops and PCs all the time, and they will not be getting Windows 10 "for free".
MS knows they will get just as much money, and probably save a bunch by no longer fighting with this comparatively small number of users.
Thanks. Whenever I read all these fantasies about space colonization and long-term space travel, I ask what they'll do about radiation, which never seems to be mentioned.
Anyone who takes that as their thesis doesn't understand the makeup of the workforce. No, the barber, the plumber, and the woman who runs the local diner don't need to learn how to code.
Doug Kaufman has been designing games for years - mainly computer games - and has never written a line of code. He DESIGNS THE GAME, Brian Reynolds and others write the code.
Reading e-books two or three lines at a time on a 3.2-inche screen would turn anyone off of reading
I prefer to read on my phone over any other format. I can hold it and turn pages with one hand, and since only one paragraph fits on a page, I never lose my place even if I am distracted. I read MUCH faster on my phone than when reading from a paper book.
My current phone is bigger, but I read many books on my Iphone 3, with a screen size of only 3.5 inches, so I think the experience would be similar with these small phones.
And I am not alone, e-reader apps have always been among the most popular.
I can buy fluorescents and LEDs to replace 40 and 60 watt bulbs, but there is still no good replacement for the 100 watt bulb. The "100 watt equivalent" fluorescents are nowhere near as bright, and are so large that they don't properly fit in some fixtures.
TFA mentions a fact that I'd read about before, that the black hole's rate of rotation increases as it collapses due to the conservation of momentum. But since no matter can actually mover faster than the speed of light, is the collapse limited by this maximum rotation rate? Would the black hole cease collapsing when the rotation rate neared the speed of light?

I keep a computer with a big ol' CRT display just for playing MOO.

Especially if the game is about the War of 1812 or perhaps cotton gins.
So, real cash?
...and home of the lifetime sentence for nearly every crime. Best of luck to you.

or maybe PASSWORD
I have recently become a heavy user of Songza, and one of the best features is the lack of ad breaks. I expect this to change pretty soon.
Print me up a Scarlett Johansson
Glasnost seems to be dead too.
I'll just have to try some before I make up my mind about it.
They HAD to do it. After all, there is no place in Russia cold enough for it to snow.

Sounds like somebody needs to archive the archive.
Transylvania is in Romania
The end.
JK Rowling should come over to my house for some sexy-time.
She is hot, though.
...and it was everything that I thought it could be.
Sounds like something serious enough to use an air-raid siren instead of a tweet.
