If some men like to kill and dismember women then at least some women must like being killed and dismembered, otherwise there is something fundamentally wrong with the human species.
This is the most nonsensical and insipid comparison I think I have ever seen. Please go back under your rock.
Whom is to determine the genius status of any particular individual. Genius is based on a system of values as perceived by ones peers. If i were to believe math or rocket science were an important trait, I would judge someone with impeccable skills in this area as genius. But someone that would value the arts or athletic skills at a greater lever may not see this person in the same light. Many times there has been someone given the genius label and I find it difficult to see the noted person in this classification because of my value system. so it goes that I cannot believe there is one common scale that genius can be measured.
...all of the lip stick and polish in the world will not change the fact that patent trolls are scum. (Unfortunately, the fault really lies with the patent system though.)
The company I was working for in 1979 put an order in for a VAX/11-780 which we received in 1980. It was VAX serial number 21. The tech guy installing it said that the first 18 were for internal DEC use. It came with two RM80 (80Mb disks), 256K Mem, an expansion cabnet and a vacuum column 9 track tape drive... All for about $320K USD.
The back plane was all wire-wrap and the CPU was contained on four of the cards that plugged into the back-plane. The micro code wad uploaded from an 8" floppy loaded in a PDP-11/03 which resided in the lower portion of the main cabnet.
To make a long story short, this was one of the best systems I ever administered. The DEC people were professional and tech support was excelent.

... it's uglier than sin, but i guess at my age change becomes more difficult to accept.

... you still have to go through a blood sucking dealer. You won't be buying a car _through_ Amazon until they deliver it to your front door in a box.
Is there a way that a series of QR codes can be quickly displayed on the screen that a smart phone can read and decode into a data file of some type?
The comment was intended as a humorous stab at Apple.... here have this clue, I have a few of extras.
...... I wonder if the US based creators of this film can be charged with negligent homicide. I sure hope so.
Charged for offending someone... you're an insipid idiot!
Life in general has a cost... people need to get used to that.

Feeling a little bitter there, huh?....... just one little request.
Please spend less time writing lengthy diatribes and get back to work supporting my entitlements... 'nuff said.
Don't use Facebook with prejudice.
Avoid it like you would the black plague.
Purge it from your mind... face-wut?
It can only make you stupid.

... and we become more isolated as the number of accounts increase.
As a hammer, I take exception to that.
Me too!

They already kissed and made up over Dave Cutler making NT a little too similar to VMS. See conclusion at and of article. http://everything2.com/title/The+similarities+between+VMS+and+Windows+NT
Dont forget Goldman, Citi, Fanny, Freddy, BofA, CountryWide, etc....
They all new what they were doing.
Probably just a "race" condition.
Easy. He saw the article on Reddit yesterday like I did and posted on Slashdot today.
How many shitloads are in a fucktonne?
Wolfram Alpha knows ;-)

It was a sad day to see DEC go...
If Kerry had won, would the voting machines still be buggy?
Just a thought.
