You'd trade a little bit of safety (ignoring all the potential safety mechanisms) for all the freedom, efficiency and sheer joy that a flying vehicle could bring to the masses. How depressing that there are people who still think like that, and that would have us all rot in the 21st century forever.
When they say "glue itself down to a deck of a ship", I think they mean it doesn't require a runway. And when they say 'silent', they mean relatively speaking.
As far as I know, I thought C# was a very open language, and that only Microsoft's implementation was protected. It would be easy for Google to write their own implementation.
On a side issue, I get tired of the way almost every native program downloaded (for windows at least) needs to have a front end installer. It should be self-contained and the exe should work right off the bat. Browser 'apps' don't have that issue.
Or alternatively, not have a virus checker at all as it slows down PCs, and misdiagnoses all the time (I don't need it deleting files which I know are NOT a problem).
Just be careful what sites you visit, do backups (using SyncBack of course) and a system restore will usually solve minor problems.
As this story shows, the idea of unifying architectures and OSs is so strong that it's already happening in browser land. But for desktop land (where apps/programs will ultimately be as obviously it's faster and more versatile) there's just too much innovation in Linux, Windows and Mac land for everything to be unified at this point in time..NET is a good step in that direction, but even then, the framework requires a rewrite for each OS, so bugs can appear. Perhaps wait a couple more decades, and we'll have a universal GUI (well for 99.9% of users at least), preferably open source and free of course! That will go with a unified CPU/GPU/APU architecture with unified memory, data and power ports. Yum.
Are you saying we'll have to keep switching in and out of kernels to get a long task done? Obviously that makes coding a lot more bloated and unnecessarily painful.
As much as many people dislike Paypal (myself included to a degree), this brings us closer to a more unified monetary system, where anyone can pay anyone else, anywhere at any time.
It's one step closer to the (eventually inevitable) single world currency which will again bump up the efficiency of general cash exchange by another order of magnitude. I live in the UK, but can at least the first-world countries all just use dollars and be done with? (and let's metricize the US at the same time).
Now that you mention it, Visual Studio uses rollovers to show say the form properties or find/replace window, and every time it gets in my face (the main scroll bar is perilously close to it). Yes, I hate it too. Well said.
Neah you don't get 'bad' or 'good' changes, only *different* changes. Any perceived improvement or deterioration is purely a figment of your imagination. Change for the sake of change is good, and you'll get used to it. At least in a few decades time.
Trolling against who? I thought it was obvious that these languages were slower than say C#, C++ or Java. They make up for it in terms of flexibility (dynamic code generation) and ease of use, but I thought that was also taken foregranted.
Why don't the blades have a deeper pitch/depth to them. From what I've heard, this increases the efficiency of the wind sucked underneath.
It's the same with cooling fans. Manufacturers (apart from the previous few) always make the blades super thin. It's really dumb, and it causes them to be much louder and waste more energy. Compare:
Slashdot Mirror
Well just have more powerful magnets then.
Strange, I didn't see the irony tag in your post.
They should deliberately use the idea and if Apple sue them, take it up with the supreme courts. That's one battle I'd like to see.

Yeah, it's the one thing that's putting me off Android. If they'd have gone for C# on the other hand....
They would have been safer going with C# rather than Java. And it's better.
Safety belts don't choke you to death though, and airbags aren't made of lead.

Good, I'm glad to hear than the 5+ senses we each possess are not degrading!
Does this Fusion APU multitask so that it can run 2 or more kernels at once (with no worries of the watchdog kicking in and stopping >5 sec kernels) ?
There is a decay rate you speak of, whatever it is - you can bet on it.
True science in action showing how important repeatability is. Kudos to both teams.

Would the thickness of the Earth serve as a shield for life on the 'lucky' half of the earth?
Indeed, any sun animations I've seen in the past tend to be juddery low resolution messes at 2-5 crappy frames per second.
This latest one is MUCH more impressive. They've upped their game I think :)
Must eat up a ton of video to have to record so frequently.
If it wasn't for the dye, would more strongly orange-coloured oranges taste better on the average?
