Yes, but the problem is that "it" is the only noun (okay, pronoun) where the apostrophe s ('s) won't make it possesive. Dell is the noun. The sentence could also be written (very awkwardly) as "Dell's Customization Roots Are Abandoned By Itself".
I'm calling BS unless you provide a URL to these kit computers you claim Dell sells. I bought just over seven figures worth of hardware from Dell last year and have bought from dell for over 15 years, and I have never seen a Dell kit computer. They sell complete computers. They don't sell parts kits like you claim. You're full of crap. Wow. The GP said the equivalent of "I'm a fan of Dell gear" and you just wasted your time demonstrating that Dell doesn't actually sell gears, nor cogs for that matter.
... this would be the first time I've heard of porn making clothes dry... This is typically the lead-in required for someone to claim: "I take it you haven't met my ex!"
What I'm personally waiting for from EC2 is European datacentres, as I have an application that's latency sensitive.:( You can use Amazon's S3 Europe for serving static files from their European datacentre.
If you're using Amazon for hosting, you can't switch hosting services; their system is too nonstandard. Do you want to be in a position where they can raise prices or cut off your air supply? EC2 allows you to setup your own servers on their infrastructure. Ultimately, this is as standard as getting a virtual or dedicated server at any one of thousands of other hosting providers. Switching is as easy as replicating the environment you've created for yourself (which is likely a standard LAMP stack anyways) and then doing a DNS change.
... I feel like it happens quite late, quite slowly, costs too much and still is underfunded. So what you're saying is you'd like early, quick, cheap, and well funded bad moods?
Excellent news, my friend. Your advertisement of the power of summation are awe-inspiring! If I may be so bold as to continue your brazen line of reasoning, were you to find an additional 20W of power savings on top of your claimed 40W savings, you will have saved a grand total of 60W. Furthermore, though this is a difficult concept for the layman, if you introduce an additional 10W of savings, your total will now have reached 70W.
No kidding indeed. I often leave my wallet on my desk all day (open environment, no cubes) and I'm not even concerned that someone might look at it funny. My guess is that the submitter works in a high school or a prison.
Regarding your sig, isn't every species essentially a different evolutionary tract in a varying stage? If not, what would qualify for your criteria of being different? Silicon-based lifeforms?
I've heard many times of the extraordinary odds against life even existing in the universe. Yet, here we are and some still try to prove that it's impossible for themselves to exist. It's unfortunate that life is likely so prevalent in the universe but really really difficult to bridge the gap and make contact, even at the speed of light.
saddly some banks (USAA's banking) allows you to scan in your check and upload the image and have it work as a deposit.. so you never need to leave you desk Must be a popular banking site for Photoshop enthusiasts.
It's not a disorder until someone's been on Jerry Springer and gotten into a fight over it! Well, Ballmer does appear to be experienced with chair throwing...
A company uses your smtpx protocol and promptly sees their rating drop due to the dozen fifty year old ladies in accounting forwarding on every piece of cute spam and donate-to-save-the-children mail they get. So you're saying the system would work as intended?
Sorry, you're mistaken if you think that a relatively uncited Wikipedia article constitutes authoritative and infallible proof of anything. An interesting position given that you've cited nothing to back your claims.
I assume you have a similar objection to the USDA? I get your point, but I suppose I just have a soft spot for whales so you'll excuse me if I don't take an all-or-nothing approach.
Some day, the International Whaling Committee which discusses hunting and killing of whales will be about as ethically acceptable as an International Slavery Committee that discusses acceptable ways to enslave people.
I took a sharp serrated steak knife to it and tried to scratch it but no matter how hard I pressed... Wow, that sounds like a good way to lose a finger. That's how the Yakuza used to initiate new members:
Yakuza: "Ah, recruit-san, to join us you must scratch the surface of this watch using that knife." Recruit: "Hai!" [A heroic effort ensues, but recruit only manages to cut off their own finger] Yakuza: "By going all the way, you've passed our test of inner strength... welcome to the Yakuza."
Beta: Beta level software generally includes all features, but may also include known issues and bugs of a less serious variety. Release Candidate: The term release candidate refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to release unless fatal bugs emerge.
You can do that now with sapphire-coated surfaces. A former boss of mine had a watch with a sapphire coating and he boasted that it couldn't be scratched. I asked him if I could try and he said "do your best". So I took a sharp serrated steak knife to it and tried to scratch it but no matter how hard I pressed it would just effortlessly slide across the surface causing no damage at all.
Perhaps that's not an example of inexpensive scratch-proof coatings -- and I'm not sure if it can easily be done on any surface via chemical vapor deposition -- but for some price it can be had today.
I don't know about anyone else, but when I were but a young'un, I remember being told by various techie fortune tellers that when I grew up GAMES would be completely virtual reality based complete with headsets/central-nervous-system connections... Well that's the problem right there. You simply haven't grown up, and now all of gaming technology has been held back by it. Thanks a lot.

Compared to the insanity of last year, having an all-normal day would be one hell of an April Fool's.

It's to most intensive purposes "turned off". How about for purposes which are a bit less intensive?
No, but thanks for trying.
And of course I check afterwards and discover you made no claims either way.

Now, they just skip the watch.
