I disagree: if he tweeted that because he seriously believed it was possible it would indicate he’s batshit insane, and that’s a pretty significant story.
But that ignores the question of whether it’s for the sake of a fuck (singular possessive of a noun), or the sake of many fucks (plural verb).
Consider the similar expression “For God’s sake” or “For heaven’s sake”. In this use the apostrophe denoting the singular possessive is correct, because the context is a language in a monotheistic culture...there’s only one God and one heaven. There’s a second parallel here, since it’s not uncommon for people to yell “oh god!” when they fuck, and as an atheist I’m known to yell “oh fuck!” when people try to God around me. Therefore we can conclude that the words “God” and “Fuck” are often interchangeable (and such is the confusion around these two words that many people who consider themselves gods are actually complete fucks); my view is that in this usage “fuck” should be treated as a noun, with the apostrophe.
If you are wondering WHY they give away their software. I think it is because they are slightly more interested in selling their *hardware* and software to TEAMS of people. "Hey, you like our software. Now check out this sweet $20,000 USD piece of hardware with a gazillion knobs and buttons and our training programs to learn how to use it!" The one-off sales of Davinci/Fusion are piddly little amounts of money compared to the amount you can make in B2B relationships.
You’re sort of right. Resolve has been *the* high end colour grading application for cinema releases for a while (basic editing was only added in v11), but Blackmagic have had a hard time getting their hardware into broadcast facilities, even though it performs as well or better than gear from companies like Grass Valley while being cheaper by a factor of ten (they also make I/O cards, vision switchers and of course the Cinema cameras, which IMO are a bargain and far more reliable than RED). Where it gets odd is Resove is compatible with everyone else’s control surfaces...this makes sense if they’re using the software to get a foot in the door, but it doesn’t translate to immediate sales.
I will however point out that the full featured version of Resolve isn’t free, but it is still incredibly cheap for what it does, especially compared to the steaming turds known as Premiere (“How do you want to crash today?”) and Final Cut Pro X (“Uncluttered UI is fine, but how do I do anything?”).
Most people care as much about the OS as they do about the brand of their stove.
A kitchen isn’t a kitchen unless there’s Smeg on every appliance. I’m not alone in my opinion, we see lots of Gordon Ramsey’s Smeg on TV. And from experience, nothing smells quite like home made bread baked in the Smeg. Seriously, if you don’t think it matters you’ve never had a Smeg.
“Pulse paste” would work better for the catchy alliteration, but unfortunately a “pulse paste sandwich” sounds more like something that happens in the bathrooms at gay bars than something you want in your mouth...
I want to know if they’re also going after peanut butter, which may be something spread on bread but isn’t a substitute for dairy butter in any other application (just in case anyone was thinking of using it to reenact the scene from Last Tango In Paris).
Lithium is ideal for portable devices because of high energy density, but for a building sized battery permanently connected to the grid size and weight is no longer critical...that means a more abundant element (sodium for example) is a practical, cheaper alternative despite lower energy density.
They won’t accept real places either, it wouldn’t allow me to have Plato Crater, Luna. Admittedly this may be proof the “moon” we see really is fake, and the address I wanted, Moonbase Alpha, really has been blasted out of orbit...
Unfortunately it isn’t possible to upgrade directly from 10.6.8 to 10.8+ without first installing 10.7, and that’s not available from Apple unless you bought it already...I suspect that’s actually the problem here, since 10.13 will work on the MacBook 7,1. There are some installers floating around the net, but they fail with a checksum error (even if you use Pacifist to bypass Apple’s installer program).
However, it is possible to clone the drive, format, install a later version, and use Migration Assistant to restore user accounts and files.

Well played!
I have a spy ring from a cereal box, does that make me a coder or an encryption expert? Serious question, I need to pad my CV...

Now God off.
Never let it be said you can’t make money as an educator.

It worked for Stalin...
...go on to record Uptown Girl?
Or in other words, nobody gives a rat’s RSS...

I want to know what an “I Can’t Believe It’s Not” is, and also whether they’re being farmed humanely.

This proves trusting an install wizard is a bad idea.

That’s lenient and mercifully quick. I suggest at least a month of daily irukanji stings first.
Saves both space and time...they could call it the Doctor Who edition.
Indeed, it has since been proven both mathematically and experimentally that it’s physically impossible for Shatner to act, yet here he is doing it.
That’s a feature, not a bug: a fridge that automatically reheats.

I don't understand how people can sleep in those bedrooms with large windows without curtains at least not in summer time.
You can find out easily enough with a telescope...
Dickman by name, dickman by nature I guess.
The Windows Store has a lot of potential.
Yes, I’ve heard people say it’s shocking.
I stand corrected and better informed.
