I like the move, but it will be difficult or impossible to run older (poorly written) applications that need a GUI to run.
This is a critical point, when the lack of GUI actually comes to pass. The main barrier for people switching from Windows is older/legacy software. If that legacy stuff stops working completely, I think people will have a different answer to "Do I want to learn the expensive OS CLI or the free beer OS CLI?"
At a auto racing school I attended, the "If you know you're going to crash" advice was to cross your arms on your chest and go limp. A death grip on the steering wheel is a sure way to break your elbows.
Even if he lied about going the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. Not wearing a seatbelt is stupid, true, but most people go at least 70 in a 65. 75 is quite common.
Yeah, I totally hate it when people try to hold public officials to higher standards.
That's not BS, the car was going 108 as it slid off the roadway.
Here's the BS:
Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray was driving 100 miles per hour, without a seat belt... The investigation showed Murray was driving 75 miles per hour in the seconds leading up to the crash...
The posted speed limit in the area is 65 miles per hour, and the lieutenant governor had previously said that he had not been speeding and that he had been wearing a seat belt.
So he was speeding 10 mph over and he wasn't wearing a seat belt. That's exactly like "wearing a seat belt" if by "wearing" you mean "not at all wearing".
"The X-37B is in a much lower inclination which means it can only see a very narrow band of latitudes, and the only thing that's of real interest in that band is the Middle East and Afghanistan.
There's nothing the US would want to look at in the Middle East, right? If it catches side glances at a Chinese space station, that's just gravy.
The article does end on a winner:
Wilder theories have also reared their heads, such as that both Tiangong-1 and the second X-37B spotted "something else" in space and went to have a look at it - but that seems a little bit like wishful thinking from ET-loving dreamers.
Yup, that's totally it. I can see Michael Bay's next screenplay forming...
Nokia's business has, and always has been, to advance mobile phone technologies through hardware innovation. Selling their smart phone business would be bit like selling your left arm.
HP has proved that businesses will do stupid things, like selling (or giving away) their left arms.
But probably not mute, because there's a whole big thread of noise on it right here. And if you think a thread of text is quiet, think of all the spit-takes, laughing and angry words had when reading and writing replies.
Or maybe I'm the only one that talks to my monitor.
Who cares about some (presumably) small company called Volkwasgen?
They're probably some domain/INC/GMBH squatters with only a PO box and two part-time monkeys making sure the domains are renewed and ads are working. Who cares if they don't get email after-hours?
Wouldn't it be better if their servers would accept incoming mail, but wait with delivering it to the mailboxes until working hours? That cannot be so difficult to set up.
Most well-behaved email servers will retry sending for a number of days, so I don't think this will cause much disruption at all.
It might even cut down on spam/bot-email senders that don't retry.
China doesn't really need carriers. They aren't offensive country like the U.S., they mostly need defensive forces. And carriers don't do much in that.
China doesn't need big, expensive carriers because they'd be fighting big, expensive carriers of the US. They want submarines for that.

So two wrongs make a right?
Or lack of rights, as the case seems to be...
No, they call it Windows Power Shell. Now with extra power!
* extra power only available in Windows Super Duper Power Edition

In other news, it is probably made of silicon, and in some sort of density-optimized epoxy package!
But will it have rounded corners? And shiny? Will it be shiny?!?
The frame isn't seamless, the tubing that makes up the frame is seamless. The tubes join in distinct seams.
After reading about and looking at it, it just looks like bike with fat tires.

I tried this, but it is asking for my FileVault password. Now what?
Exactly. TFA puts it thusly:
"The X-37B is in a much lower inclination which means it can only see a very narrow band of latitudes, and the only thing that's of real interest in that band is the Middle East and Afghanistan.

So what is it with kids these days? What happened to, you know, working for for a living?
And why are they all named "Anonymous Coward"?
Nokia's business has, and always has been, to advance mobile phone technologies through hardware innovation. Selling their smart phone business would be bit like selling your left arm.

Why not just go all out and disallow first-time parents?
I'd prefer to not allow procreation on Slashdot at all, first-time or otherwise.
And this is why we can't allow first-time accepted submitters.
Your country? Which one is it?
The UN declared it a human right.
It must be Kosovo, Taiwan or Vatican City-- the only three that aren't part of the UN.
Do only people outside the EU understand it is a epic disaster?
Do only people outside the US understand it is a epic disaster?
Do only people outside Iran understand it is a epic disaster?
I wonder what percentage of the earth's population is actually happy with their own government?
...with a penchant for kitties...
That's his problem right there.
i guess the whole discussion becomes mute
Or moot even.

This is indeed the important thing!

GOG.com is the place for that too. Cheap prices. DRM free.
Oh, man, I'm about to drop a ton of money there. Thanks for the link!
Time to get the youngsters brushed up on their (video game) history.
No wonder that set-top boxes don't sell.
Does it really matter? Are we expecting WW3 anytime soon?
You can't rattle your saber if you don't have a saber!
And nuclear powered mobile military bases are great for rattling

The US uses steam catapults, which are even better but are more expensive and are fairly involved to design.
Ford class carriers (2 currently under construction) will use magnetic launch rather than steam launch.
Awesome! We'll soon have the most steam-punk carrier catapults in the world!
I mean, steam is pretty good, but magnetic is just bad-ass!
