If there had been programmer unions in the Win95 era, we never would have got rid of IE6 to protect all the people with certifications in IE6-specific programming. Spare us, please.
I heard her speak at a Heathkit Users Group conference in Washington DC, 1986. What an inspiration! Three quotes stand out: "I do not accept 'because we've always done it that way' as an excuse." "It is always easier to ask forgiveness than permission." And: "Computers are getting better at answering questions, but will a computer ever ask an interesting question?" The Admiral is a life-long inspiration. (I still have a nanosecond.)
They were every bit as full-featured as component systems. I'm thinking the Intertec Superbrain or my personal favorite, the Heathkit H89. Writing Heathkit software put me through college in the 1980s.
you meant, "a piece of software" -- there is no such thing as "a software" or for that matter "a hardware, a clothing, an information" -- you have a piece of hardware, a piece of clothing, a piece of information. Thank you.
Why would anyone pay money to buy an account that lets you tell people what color your belly-button lint is today?
In order to get anyone to read a feed off twitter.com, you have to get them to subscribe to it -- if you go to twitter.com all you get is a sign-up form, you can't even browse or search to see what the site is about. You certainly can't find some randomly created account -- this scam seems pointless.
Of what possible use is one of these auto-generated accounts? The article does not explain.
Please explain why you are sure that the cessation of the ice age, with an accompanying moderation in temperature, is not what permitted human agriculture -- and not the reverse. Please describe an experiment to falsify your premise.
Perhaps "entering, then later leaving" -- as in: "We have powered devices for many years [starting with in the days of the Altair and the TRS-80] through Windows PCs and Xbox [which are now equally obsolete]"...?
Or: "Just a moment, please." Put them on hold, dial the actual hotel, and tell the operator, "I'm going to put my mother on the line, but she is very hard of hearing so you will have to speak very slowly. OK?" and then transfer the call.
Spreadsheets lead the inexperienced, down the garden path of "Oh, this looks easy..."
At some point you think, Oh, let me just sort this column. And you fail to realize some formula on sheet 27 presumes a linkage between column C on sheet 5 and column F on sheet 13. So now your entire model is garbage.
In all these decades, hasn't anyone resuscitated Javelin with its time-oriented models, where what looked like a spreadsheet was just a view of the underlying model? "Javelin understands the arrow of time" -- 1985 slogan
TFA has it exactly backwards -- The rise in tree deaths is clearly directly related to the rise in obesity in the study area, which has led to an increase in the average weight of persons newly buried in local cemeteries, which results in higher outgassing of carbon and other greenhouse gases from tombs and mausoleums. Humans are the cause of everything horrible on this planet, didn't you get the memo? Especially the SUV drivers, they're overplusdouble evil.

No mean feat, considering the (omni-)bus had not yet been invented.

Control-Z as in "suspend job" (UNIX) or as in "end-of-file" (CP/M)? You want to suspend the internet or end it? [[ confused ]]
TPS: Take Prozac Soon. (and you thought it was Team Project Status or was it... umm.... has anyone seen my red stapler?)
I am fairly certain we are all living in Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" these days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery

Again, the only problem here is with those who perceive "followers" to have any value whatsoever.
That sounds like an error at the record company, not at Twitter.

Real Slashdot users don't have girlfriends (or boyfriends for that matter).
Visit Montreal or Toronto if you need to reset your Canadian rhythms. Vancouver, even.
Old tech! I used FOCAL on a PDP-11 in the late 70s!

Greg Bear postulated that speciation might occur by more than just random mutations -- Darwin's Radio (1999) might be worth a read.
If you have heard them scream and shout and stomp their feet when we talk about GIMP here, wait until you see the reaction to .invalid

Exascale... is that bigger than MongoDB? MongoDB is webscale...
I plan to build my next structure with Roman Concrete and Rearden Steel...
If your LEGO collection gives you hadrons, you got a serious problem, mister.

The cooling is the warning, obviously. Cooling is warming, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, Comrade!
