The original cast from Star Trek went on to have fairly successful careers after the show ended. Is there any role or carrier choice that one of your former cast members had that you would have also liked to have done? If so, which one of your post Trek jobs would you trade.
While I doubt it really matters, American Airlines tells everyone to shut them completely off for takeoffs and landings. Otherwise, they are allowed to be on, but with the airplane mode enabled. So if you are one of those people that always obeys the instructions you are given by airlines, you'd be turning it off and on twice for every flight.
I'd like to offer the obligatory MS comparison. You can't argue that Microsoft didn't make many wrong decisions (Zune, Windows Mobile, etc over the past ten years. Yet there is Balmer still in charge making more money than I am. Microsoft still makes heaps money. You don't need to make more money than people to recognize bad decisions. That would logically require us to make all elections a wealth measurement exercise.
There was quite a bit of collaboration with the Chaps brothers of home star fame. They seem to have taken a break from the website... Any chance this is because they're collaborating on project with you? If not, any plans to in the future? It seemed like a perfect marriage to me.
So he writes posts about technology and other news for.. well lets just call them socially awkward math wizards. And he has people commenting and discussing the stories... That sounds like this other website he used to have... What was it called "slanty line -period" or something... Can't remember off the top of my head.
It isn't a good thing. I don't know what moblin was like, but Mameo was pretty much a fully complete, working operating system that shipped on actual devices the merger with Moblin set them back a couple years. Nokia would have been better off to decline the invitation to merge with Moblin.
. I thought they had a marginal idea, at best, when I first hear their business model, but I'm just a nobody who said people should be buying Ford stock with every dollar they can lay their hands on, when it was at 89 cents a share in early 2009 (even at today's price of ~$10 a share that's a pretty nifty return.)
Yeah, I was just a nobody then too. I, however, was recommending GM back in 2008. Luckily no one trusted me to give financial information, including my wife.
Its microsoft, of course they have had internal discussions about this. A simple discovery phase would turn up loads of info. They always have in the past. The point I was raising, was that all of this could be avoided with a modicum of foresight by microsof.
Most people do not care about 0-60 times, or horsepower. Concentration on these stats over more useful stats such as quality of manufacture, and MPG are what led to the decline of the American Auto Industry. Your bosses are right: most people are not car people, they're just people who happen to drive cars.
How would it look on Slashdot or on the front page of the New York Times?
Microsoft considers Slashdot to be on the same level as the New York Times! The Ironic thing is the original tweet did not make slashdot. The reaction from Microsoft did.
You realize you are using a machine that was built by a society of people working together for hundreds of years to connect with other intelligent people to discuss abstract thoughts about the functioning of society, right? Absolutely none of that would be possible without... society: ie individuals working together for the common benefit of all. You may disagree about how that society should be organised and governed, but denying it any role in your life is absurdly hypocritical.
The government which provides services in aggregate that individuals and smaller entities are unable to provide at the same efficiency. Failing to help provide for those services, while enjoying the benefits of those services is cheating. The last thing people of considerable means should be complaining about is a lack of access to elected officials.

Well, sometimes different software can use the same hardware in different ways to accomplish the same task. You can blame the driver if you want for using the broken or bug ridden part of the hardware, but sometimes it is the hardware that is at fault.

About the same as a wee smoot.
Product development costing billions of dollars are not strategic decisions?

Don't worry, the First National Bank of Amazon will be opening soon. They'll happily let Silk go through.

Yeah, but you'd think a database company with SQL in its name would be aware of common intrusion attempts using SQL.

Locking out all future competition by default is not an acceptable solution to anti trust issues.
Er... I mean a gyros to my groin. Sigh... * shakes head of lettuce in knockwurst * my I still have much to yearn from hymns.
Oh, wow, that guy is like hero to my overbite!
Exactly! ....In the same way that a meatball is a golf ball for those playing the game of spaghetti.
If The majority of OEM's do not allow for a disabling of secure boot we will do two things:
1) Launch a class action lawsuit against the OEMs and Microsoft.
2) Ask the EU and the US Justice Department to reopen the anitrust lawsuits.
The only way for Microsoft to avoid these is to require OEM's to allow users to disable secure boot.
For those too impatient for the rollercoaster to be built ....

Taxing isn't stealing. Using criminal terms to refer to an opposing viewpoint is the last resort of the intellectually bankrupt.
