Not that I planned to buy one myself, but as a consumer, wouldn't you then wait for the Surface 2 that's going to be released any day after the yet-to-be-released Surface 1?
"Any pro photographer will tell you that 95% of what you shoot is crap."
That depends ENTIRELY on the kind of photography. For example, if it's portraiture like yearbook photos, or wedding photos, or many other such things, the customer decides what's good and what they want to keep, and they typically have the option of coming back and buying more prints later.
In cases like that, you can't prune. You have to keep it all.
No, you ship it to he customer and you prune once you did.
The problem is the people who let it happen when the fathers of the constitution warned you all about it years ago.
Our founding thinkers from Ancient Greece got almost everything right. They invented tons of shit, including democracy, the steam engine, the vending machine, and the astrological clock. And they circumnavigated Africa two millennia before the Portuguese. Yet, to these mighty thinkers, the social rank of women was right between slaves and animals. And slaves were happy to have it up their's by philosophers and citizens, for the prestige. Seems silly today? It didn't back then. They were living within the spectrum of the ideas of their time. Are we worshiping them now? No.
The US founding fathers had their own set of quirks. They were racist bigots, and more generally living within the spectrum of the ideas of their time. They hated bankers because of how those in London ganged up with the BoE to clobber colonial scrip six feet under prior to the war of independence, which led the US colonies into an economic depression (and, likely, to the war itself); not because of some keen insight on economics that was somehow lost since über-obsolete Adam Smith. These racist thinkers deserve no more worship than their misoginistic Greek counterparts.
The world and mainstream ideas have evolved since the US revolution. Keep the good, drop the bad; and please... let go of your founding fathers and move on. Else you'll turn Amish before you know it.
I noticed that the Wikipedia entries on Bernanke and Goldman both curiously (one might even say "conspicuously") fail to make any mention of his acting as their CEO prior to handing them a juicy government bailout.
I assume you're confusing Paulson and Bernanke. The former (then at the Treasury) was a former GS CEO; the latter was, to the best of my knowledge anyway, a carrier academic. (Who, it might be suggested, doesn't have the slightest clue of how a real business operates as a result.)
The question ought to have been asked 60 years ago; not today.
The half life of some of the waste is hundreds of thousands or millions of years. We're stuck with it for that long -- complete with storage facilities and, if necessary, security.
The real question is who pays. The nuclear plant operator (talk about a liability...) or the public (that's quite a liability too, and not one you can readily default on)?
I really don't get most of the crap and indifference here.
The project has been a work in progress for years and this might very well be Allan's way of saying "I'm burnt out guys, here's the code, please make it live because I no longer can."
It got copied over and over since the initial release but at the time it was tremendously more extensible and customizable through bundles. If you didn't like the formatting rules, code snippets, etc., for a given language (or be that wasn't built-in) you could customize the bundle to fit your needs.
Its weak points are search and large files. You can't search in a directory, which is an occasional annoyance. Search can also be slow on larger projects. Large files (>= 500kb) can also be slow to open.
Clunky and slow certainly apply for GIMP on OS X. It's fine software on Windows and Linux, or was last I tried it on either anyway. But (assuming it hasn't changed in the past three years) how they came up with the idea that they should stick to Ctrl+[key] instead of Cmd+[key] on a Mac is still beyond me...
When I bought v1 I never had v2 in mind. Over the years I've always wondered what the fuss was about. Search is a bit tedious/slow, but it remains a great editor. I'd be very happy if Xcode was half as good in some respects.
1 Mbps used to be considered very fast, back when the US was mostly on modems. Since when is 1 Mbps considered slow? Might anyone know the proportion of modem users nowadays?

"credit people" with a typo.
If Brazil is part of the western world, so are Gabon, Botswana, Dominica, and Iran. Can't be right...

Even more amazing is how they can get into such a state of denial. This looks like RIM 2.0.
I'm waiting for the Jackass team to pick this up, toy car up the bum style.

The next step is that it starts eating people directly, seizing their assets and imprisoning/shooting their bodies.
You mean like during the subprime crisis and thereafter, when heaps of Americans lost everything, or as in private-sector prison profiteering?
And it's not just the US government either.
Actually... I nearly only is.

can't we just pump it into the air. its probably not half as bad as the stuff that a coal plant releases.
Are you sure about that?

Meh, this is slashdot! It would be a dead site if not for Apple/Google flame warriors.
The thought of Google paying Apple to make it stop bullying it gave me a good laugh.

How did this troll get modded insightful?
The majority of people in the world don't code for a living...
FTFY...
How does a near-perpetual state of affairs (the US being at war) qualify as emergency spending?

If by the world, you mean major cities in developed countries, you might have a point. Or then we must be traveling in extremely different areas.
Since when is Mbps != Mbits/s? Did I miss a boat, or was I misinformed all along?
1 Mbps used to be considered very fast, back when the US was mostly on modems. Since when is 1 Mbps considered slow? Might anyone know the proportion of modem users nowadays?
That's very theoretical. I've never seen any piece of software that ticks all of those boxes. Or a few of them, for that matter.
Non-trivial software tends to quickly turn into a big ball of mud. Because it works.
Good riddance
Maybe not quite yet... Someone could buy the portfolio, no?
