Human flight to be restored? I did not know Chinese and Russians had stopped.
Oh, you mean, "USian" human flight capability to be restored? Why? US should learn how to be an ex-imperial society just like the other old empires, here in UK (we still have a massive dose of delusions of grandeur at the political level), France, little Holland, Portugal and Spain...
If one has to summarise a single short paragraph consisting of three short sentences with a TL;DR, I think humanity need to end, now, and need to pass the baton to a more intelligent species.
Yeah, just like their massively successful(!) mobile platform, properly market it like giving the phones away for free, and people still go and buy Android devices.
Disclaimer: I've got a windows phone as well as some Androids & a company-provided iPhone 5. Neither iPhone is worth the hype nor the WIndows shite is worth anything.
Microsoft didn't make the market in Word by making it better than its competitors, it got the market because it made sure that the competitors' software would not run on their OS. That's not competition, that's just bulshitting.
Nothing simpler than a blank, white screen where you can't run anything, you can't do anything. It'll be very elegant though... GNOME is heading that way slowly.
Why do you need to talk to anyone when you -know- you're just right and everyone else is wrong. It looks like the project's being run by a bunch of angst-ridden 16 year olds with no life: "Leave me alone! No one understands me! Middle button is to complicated, clean sheet design!!! And I hate you too, mom!"
It's still the best one, even though not that commonly used. I cannot believe people would like to use the piece of shit called GNOME, day to day. I feel the same with Windows GUIs.
GNOME should have a new marketing slogan: "proudly removing functionality you had since v1.1"
It's incredible that USians let their politicians name laws with such backronyms. "How can you be against the PATRIOT act, aren't you a patriot? Are you a red communist! ANSWER NOW! Bring the plastic foils and the chair, it's time to waterboard this traitor..."
Never ever had such a problem with RedHat. Not saying no one else did either but RedHat's support is not very responsive. As stated, the support agreement is there to keep the beancounters happy. It is still an excellent enterprise distro.
Three tablets is just about right. I hope they don't even think to produce a fourth one out of the line since that will languish in stock. Mr. Watson must have got right: "I think there is a world market for maybe five Microsoft tables" but I think he's over egging it. It is sure it won't sell that much.... Sorry? What? You mean three new MODELS? They must be out of their thick mind!
Why bother? Because once in a while you got to remember why people went and used Linux and OS/2. Even with Slackware and Ygdrassil, using Linux wasn't for everyone those days (but still much fun and a better user experience than Windows, still is, I was screaming at my Windows 7 laptop yesterday because I had to use something I didn't have time to see if it works under wine - how can people use such a pile of crap day to day, I cannot comprehend).
Don't worry, even Sun's larger kit were slow, expensive rubbish. The M series could not compete with anything and the T series is still a joke. The only thing that works with a Sun badge was their intel boxes and they screwed those with Slowaris.
Sun used to be great in early 90s, and their reputation is just a hangover from those days. Even then it was too expensive for what it did. Black box Intel boxes with Pentiums and Linux used to outperform them but you couldn't get Oracle on them until 8i.

You and your countrymen voted for them. You get what you deserve.
You say redundancy, I say pork barrel economics.

So, a failure rate over 50% is a success story? I never knew!
They definitely dominated the competition in the "most kits returned with faults" category, I think they even won an Oscar on that.

Why are you making my hands move more than necessary, are you trying to induce RSI to the rest of the world, just like Apple?
Add two single-digit numbers, larger than 7 and you will get a value nearer to 20 than 10.
I don't think maths need explaining more than this.

The only thing Windows 8.1 will succeed with is not being Windows 8.0.

The answer is: Yes. Next question please?
Ginny Bond would be a brilliant character, no one should diss her that quickly.
You must watch Curse of the Fatal Death to convince yourself. Lumley would have been a great Doctor.
One rule: The Doctor lies.
still not getting one...

True, planes catch fire on Heathrow every other week and rarely it's a 878, it's always an Airbus or Ilyushin... Or not...
