...I'm building my own internet. Yeah. Using whatever I can find, spare copper, terminals, old POS systems, switches, whatever. I don't care that there already is one, and that it will be years behind in technology, I'm just going to do it.
That brings up another point; I noticed that one of the applications they're pinning on this technology is for orbital launches. Being still a jet this engine requires air, so I'm pretty safe in assuming the application is for an assisted orbital target or as some kind of launch platform, right?
Then your testing must be extremely simple. The testing I do usually requires some measure of user input, i/o and file processing, regular expressions, and as such batch is not up to that task. I often just install cygwin and I'm done; all the tools I need. If I see a lot of engineers who are chasing their tails I usually think A) wrong engineers, or B) Maybe their employer doesn't know what he/she wants and is giving bad direction.
I've been surprised more than once by the "richness" of DOS commands and options and what not, but it still blow chunks for not treating stdio and that ilk like as a file ala Unix and family, and getting user input for those interactive moments is impossible without resorting to tricks or a com objects or a simple cmd line app. Simply installing a perl interpreter takes care of all this and more. You could even install cygwin and have some measure of sanity in your testing.

Steve Jobs: "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances."
"So is the problem that Microsoft wants to hold on to backwards compatibility too much?"
Yes. The legacy of Office haunts them to this day. That is their bread and butter, and remaining compatible to that old productivity stack is the Prime Directive. And their ball and chain.
"You need to use the vocative case there, not the nominative."
ie; "Brute." (pronounced "Brut-AY" Getting back to the main story, let me add "Doh!" That's a major back door. And Microsoft, wanting to be our gatekeepers in so many ways and even with this big security initiative they've been trying to get everyone to believe they are on, is just sort of sluffing it off with their usual sheepish "Well, its not likely to actually happen." nonsense.
"By leaving a single dollar, I believe I sent her a message."
Yes, the message is 'I'm a boob.' Proper tip etiquette is to leave nothing if the service was poor. Period. Not leaving a tip is touristy? Since when??? If you get poor restaurant service leave nothing, that's message enough.

"Yes, "liberals and conservatives are all the same" is a popular lie put out by conservatives."
You're so silly. I'm sick of both parties. And I'm certainly not drinking this kool-aid that democrats walk on water and everyone else is Satan. Typical nonsense. If liberalism was so great why has China completely turned its back on true communism?
"It's only invasion of privacy if it's done by an evil "corporation" or other capitalist running dog."
And its only a liberal loony who would think that any good can come of this type of activity at all. Only a liberal loony believes that any governing agency is only looking after the good of its people. Even a university. Gattica was an interesting story, rent it.
Liberals tend to think for themselves, so I imagine we will see many different viewpoints emerge, rather than some lock-step, campus wide consensus.
Don't make me laugh. Liberals & conservatives both follow the party line. With this absolutely horrible Political Correctness agenda, policies that reward poverty and step on self-employment and small business; thinking for ones self appears to be the last thing on the Liberal Agenda.
This distro does exactly what its designed to do. Some users may appreciate it. Since more gear-heads than naught use Linux then I guess it makes sense that most of you (sic) poo poo it. But come on, its a cloud-apps based distro. No one is forcing you to use it. I won't use it. But there is a user base for this stuff.
I too have embraced all those reasons, and yet the personal grooming habits of my friends and more distant family have never come up. Not once. And I still fail to see how my comfort level with my sexuality has anything to do with if my best friend SHAVES HIS PUBES!
"Every other blog / "News" site is parroting their report."
Big deal, the supposed "real" news outlets parrot what others say all the time whether its accurate or or not. Just look at how they regurgitate the made up figures regarding pirating of digital media the big labels trot out for them. Still, if true, this is huge news for the Linux community. It would be so great for Valve to do this. I'm a fan of Steam, I really like the service. Having it run on Linux would remove the last reason I have any Windows running on any of my rigs at all.

This might have been funny. I kept waiting for a punch line that never came. Lose.
Or at least stop trying to crowbar Windows in a mobile platform? If I were Ballmer I think I would have bought Palm.

In general, and for me, Canonical has released the best version yet. Hopefully it will continue to just get better.
Screens too small. But too large to be a cell phone. LOSE.

Actually I'm Irish so I don't give a fig. Do what you want with Britain.
"You're confusing communism and totalitarianism."
And you seem to be confusing communism with something anyone else but you wants.

What, pray, was the active force in play during the Cambodian Genocide? Those running dog imperialists are everywhere!

"MS bludgeons XPSP2 to death like a small defenseless kitten."
If you mean "...a small defenseless ZOMBIE kitten that refuses to finally die." I would tend to agree.
