And I agree with you 100%. My daughter has to pay an extra $40 a semester for an account where her chemistry prof posts her assignments on-line once per week. He could open a blog account for free and post them there or just hand them out on a piece of paper like every other professor does, but no, every student has to pay $40 a semester for access to a "educational resource system" just to see their weekly assignment.
In answer to your questions, no. It only searches the name of the icon of the app or application in the most brain-dead way.
I have found nothing similar to windows 7's or gnome 3's "search it all" functionality, but maybe it is hiding somewhere. I'm done writing my résumé now, so I don't expect to be using windows 8 again until my résumé needs updating.
I thought that at first too. In fact, I had to google how to turn off!
But then I thought, "The computer is currently in the 'on' state and now I'm setting it to the 'off' state. I guess it is a setting."
But then I thought, "How come I can't turn it back on using 'settings'. I'm turning it from the 'off' state to the 'on' state. That should be a setting, too!" So here's a question: How to I turn off the mail app? And how do I arrange things so I can see an email and an associated document at the same time? Why does the desktop feel like it's just an "app" on the same level as "mail" and "calendar". Why call it "Windows" if none of the new, modern apps are going to allow Windowing?
And then I realized that now that I'm done writing my resumé so I can put away my Windows 8 netbook until my resumé needs updating and go back to fighting with gnome 3!
"Remember most brands don't have social media departments. They rely on common sense. If someone likes your brand, it seems like common sense to me that you can expect your posts to reach 100% of those that like your brand. Doesn't it to you?"
I guess if I had spent money on Facebook advertising to get likes only to discover that I can't market to those people without spending even more money, I would feel a bit ripped off. Why did I spend the upfront money getting the likes again?
That's not how relativity works. Everyone else's clock appears to be slow to you while your clock appears slow to everyone else's.
Actually, it's more complicated than that, because your clock appears to run fast to an observer watching you approach and then extra slow as you pass and retreat from the observer. It's not clear to me whether the "signal delay" due to the finite speed of light is taken into account in the simulation because their appears to be no animation on anything in the arena. They should have made the "orbs" clocks so you could see the time dilation effect.
can only lead to lower wages, lower employment, and a lower standard of living.
I don't know how he can say that lower wages, etc are the ONLY possible outcome. It might be the PROBABLE outcome, but is it not possible that one or more of those H1Bs goes on to start one or more new companies in the US or contribute meaninfully to the start of one or more new companies thus creating lots and lots of jobs and more than making up for the ones taken by H1Bs?
Except for that damn animated dog! And when you told the dumb thing you didn't want the animation, there was an animation showing the dog walking off! I just told you I didn't want that!

After which he made way over $250K per year with public speaking engagements and television advertisements. Now who's lol-ing?

Who could have seen that coming?
This article is a poor, sensationalistic rewrite of a much more thoughtful one:

A sad day for the BBC.
Which is why I always write the word "duress" in tiny letters just above my signature.
Actually, their original vision statement was, "A computer on every desk." They had to revamp the vision to justify the XBox.
I remember when an engine fell off a DC-10 departing from O'Hare and the aircraft crashed killing everyone aboard.. Does that count as worse?
So... "hard" science == 100% solved?
Tree rings. I once counted the rings on a willow tree that had been cut down approximately 30 years after it was planted. It had between 110 rings.
Yeah! I haven't had to deal with a BSOD since... let me think... Oh yeah, it was yesterday.
On a Windows 7 laptop.
Due to a registry problem.
Just like it always is.
Since Windows 95.
Have you taken a look at scientific linux?

It's like CentOS, but is supported with a budget by big-name laboratories.
The windows button finally has purpose. You can hit that button, start typing an app name and then space/enter to launch
So... It's just like DOS except you have to hit the windows key before you type the name of the program you want to launch.
The more things change, the more they stay the same...

The only workflow I have found to work for me in Windows 8 is to hit the Windows key and type the name of the program I want to run and press enter.
It's almost as good as DOS was, except with DOS I didn't have to hit the Windows key!

Hilarious. This reads just like a Linux desktop post from a few years back.
Why do you hate Linux? All you have to do to get your stuff working is...
And then everything will work except... and ....
Mr. Cuban is quoted as saying:
I guess if I had spent money on Facebook advertising to get likes only to discover that I can't market to those people without spending even more money, I would feel a bit ripped off. Why did I spend the upfront money getting the likes again?
I don't.
I do. But like any slashdotter worth his slashdot id, it's on my own email server.
Its an activity, no different to any sport.
To be fair, there are actually quite a few sports that don't risk impregnating women.
That would be a good way to make them into clocks, but any constant (w.r.t the orb) periodic animation would work.
It's not clear it would be affected. The ratio of their walking speed w.r.t the speed of light would increase by the same amount as the players.
That's not how relativity works. Everyone else's clock appears to be slow to you while your clock appears slow to everyone else's.
Actually, it's more complicated than that, because your clock appears to run fast to an observer watching you approach and then extra slow as you pass and retreat from the observer.

XP search was sweet.

It isn't today, but it will be going forward. Samsung can't have their equivalent product claiming when 2160 lines when LG is claiming 3840!
