I think Microsoft and Apple have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Think about it Silverlight sounds so shiny, iTunes only needs to change one letter to become iZunes, and this way Microsoft won't need to program their OS for that pesky extra mouse button.
I'm not high strung. I'm fine. I'M FINE OK...Hay, did you see that...Never mind...Their it is again! I said I'm fine. You know my computer screen is flickering a lot...Why are you looking at me like that? Can you open this can of Coke for me, my hands are shaky...I'll need a straw too, I dropped the last can...Actually I had a shaking fit and crushed it. Spilled Coke all over, people looked at me funny as I was licking it off my desk. Or it could be because they are out to get me. Why dose my desk shake like that? Stop saying that, I said I'M FINE! Hay did you see that?
Accounting Troll: Spreadsheets have not evolved for a lot longer than that. A "Spreadsheet" is just a sheet of paper with lines and columns on it. Just look up paper spreadsheet in Wikipedia. Excel is just a ledger that dose math for me.
Surface reminds me of desks from Enders Game. I can't even start to imagine just how much computer power I would need under that desk to make it work like in the demo.
I always get a chuckle when some one tells me 'Linux isn't that big of a deal,' and then brags about their new G1. Linux might not ever be 'The Desktop' but it has already won the embedded devices market, is a major player in server land, and it IS a major desktop player.
But you don't understand. This will be a back up for my PrincetonTec Eos, PrincetonTec Quad, Photon Light, two Mag flashlights, and my wife's Mag Solitaire and Photon Light. I'll show that Grue who's boss!
Wow, I remember my dad being obsessed with tweaking autoexec.bat and config.sys, until the day came when I heard him shout "I BEAT MEMMAKER!" After that I remember him bragging that he could beat memmaker to his engineering friends and the look on their faces when he did.
Get decoy squirrels for your house. They may be evil super geniuses but are extremely short sighted. A few fake squirrels on your lawn and they will think you are being ransacked by their brothers and ignore you. By the end of this, only redneck humans and old ladys may be left alive.
I have worked in more than a few offices that have no backup plans for when things go wrong; power outs, network outages, supply chain disruptions, and the like would stop work cold. I find it amusing that a band of criminals are running a more flexible and 'professional' operation than many ligament businesses.
Because if I don't like you you must have voted for the other guy. Oh, and you worship the delve, eat puppys and love The New Kids on the Block. Oh, and you wanted the emperor to win in star wars too. By the way, I think Coincidence Theorist would make a very cool sig line.
The original series seemed to have two main points. 1st the crew all gets along despite the fact that they are all ethnically different, so maybe the US could get over the segregation, slavery, and immigration issues. 2nd, the number of worlds that were JUST LIKE THE EARTH with something drastically wrong were meant to show us just how stupid the issues we are facing are. TNG didn't relay deal with the issues of life, maybe if Wesley was brooding and kept trying to steal shuttles, or if the crew hated Worf and he was the victim of hate crimes for the first few seasons. But it was just way to 'clean' to be relevant.
I talked to my dad about this the other day (He childhood was spent watching TOS, mine watching TNG). I complained about the 'kids' running the new ship, so he pulled out some photos of his friends when he was 30ish. They look way more 'grown up' than most of my 30ish friends. His 30ish friends already had houses, kids, and 10+ years on the same job. Many 30ishers from my generation are still in school part time, have changed jobs quite a few times, and have apartments and roommates. Most arn't married, few have children, and owning a house is the punchline of a joke. More of my generation spent their 20's mooching off mom and dad and bumming around Europe. I feel like making a "get off my lawn joke" now, but my dads point was that being young lasts longer than it once did.

SoftAppleGoo sounds like the good stuff left on the plate after the apple pie is gone...yum..pie...Sorry, what are we talking about again?

Ok, Wrath of Kahn was better than The Voyage Home? Some times I wonder about you.

I thought that he was making a Stargate SG1 joke. Black Turtleneck as Goa'uld.

None for me, thanks. I'm driving.

I once read that hard vacuum has about one atom per cubic meter, so if you are traveling at c the shape of your ship would be important.
I always hear the ship, but never see it.
