Rather than sacrifice the income... why couldn't they just use the money for desalinators... and then sell bottled water to pay for scuba gear, underwater human habitats, and contractors from the UAE to make more islands for them?
Or even better... if flash is so damn important, why doesn't Adobe, or someone, make a Flash machine? i.e., a computer or tablet, that ONLY does flash... no JavaScript, no H.264, no HTML, or Ajax, no C# or DoTNET, no ObjC, and no text... jut a flash interface, connects directly over the Internet to all the flash you can eat. Why not? I really wish someone would release some such thing... then Adobe could pull Apple or Microsoft's game and only let flash be accessed through said device... and then the rest of us could have back that part of our brain dedicated to ignoring and avoiding all things flash, because as much as flash consumers insist that they want or need it, we HATE it ten times as much! Boo flash! Yea just about every other technology (yes, even Java is more tolerable than flash).
Interestingly, bits of Xenix made it into OPENSTEP, and eventually, Mac OS X, and possibly iOS. I don't remember which bits. Microsoft still has Singularity, but I can't really tell what stage of development it's in; in my wildest dreams it will become Windows 8, and NT kernel will retire entirely.
I don't know if it'll lose him his job but yeah, this isn't even within the realms of MS's PR strategy, this is just some exec talking like an idiot.

Not necessarily. Latin American Microsoft is much more colorful, musical, and... what's the word... not 'wacky,' exactly, not 'goofier,'... but... something. Frilly? yes... but that's not th precise word I mean either. Damn this adjective aphasia! Idiotic? Now I forgot what I was talking about... I may have been distracted by a large, heaving, tan and sparkling bust:-/
In other news, Target has been granted the coveted pi patent. Circle K, Lucent, and Bayer are contesting with prior art, though. And Microsoft isn't even stirring a word about their long held patents on 1's and 0's. They're up to something, I just know it.
He might be a clumsy ninja, but if I were Japan, I'd be pretty worried about pissing off someone as connected as Steve Jobs... he's probably negotiating to sell plutonium to whales right now. And once whales get the bomb, Truman will look like a kitten.
A Terminator is NOT a cyborg. A cyborg is an ORGANISM which has been ENHANCED or even REPLACED by cybernetic machinery. The key is that the original entity was a living biologically based organism..
So... if you wear a wristwatch, and prescription lenses, or contacts... or even sunglasses, and... carry a cell phone, or wear a belt to hold up your trousers, or have a pin in the ankle you damaged as an adolescent, or are an amputee with a prosthetic, or any combination of these or similar enhancements, you are no longer merely human. You, sir, are a cyborg. Halo save us all.
Imagine not having that fucking glut of saccharine Archie
I suppose you read Playboy for the articles? I am still desperately seeking Veronica. She's the one from my dreams, my Jungian archetypal woman. I don't care what she did, or how old she is, or what a stuck up bitch she is, I still want to do things to her that ought not to be legal. I'm a bad man, and she's a dirty, dirty girl.
Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those
who shout her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica!
Veronica!
um... this is BS... the version I saw included that scene, I swear it was in the theatrical release... except that it was shorter, started with a closeup of Luke's hands crafting the saber, and ends before the shot of C3P0
My thoughts exactly. Murdoch seems to be hell-bent on capturing some revenue per reader on a subscription model
He does seem rather obsessed with that... and it doesn't make any sense. Subscriptions were NEVER the main revenue stream for any newspaper or any periodical (other than things like the Harvard Business Review, and other periodicals that cost a fortune to subscribe to). Murdoch's fortune came from advertising... and he acts like he's never heard of it. Sure, there might be some revenue in subscriptions, but it is dwarfed by ad revenue. Murdoch is just a greedy, money obsessed a-hole.
ah... the point was, or rather, the insult was intended to point out that Microsoft has never done anything they didn't steal from somewhere else, usually at the extreme detriment of users and the original developers. Active-Directory is an example of something they cloned that is actually decent... I guess. But usually, what Microsoft does is copy others ingenuity badly, and flood the original out of existence.
Is it possible to change its orbit so it's constantly in the umbra of something? The earth, the moon, IIS, anything?
Rocket scientists are so stupid sometimes... why would they have opted to launch heavy and nonreplentishable coolant into space rather than it's own light-weight unfoldable heat resistant umbrella umbra, that would forever give it a tiny eclipse of the Sun to remain cool in?
My understanding, though I've not read about the case in depth, is that he was accused, he admitted to it, and the accuser had already worked out a resolution, then the crap hit the fan, so to speak.
huh... I heard the accusations were baseless... but that a PR fuck thought that a scandal (aka, an investigation) would hurt the company image

I suppose you think casting networks that can keep connections even though there there might be lots of bullets flying through them, or keeping signals propagating through hostile political environments is easy or cheap? Think again. These are hardened networks that can blow right through military hardened faraday cages. Let's just say if you stood between a laptop and a web page there, you wouldn't be having any more children.
poorly executed joke, sry... (I didn't realize, or forgot, TNG introduced the PADD... thought they were on TOS too... now I remember... all they had were 'tapes' --- rectangular coasters
Which is actually the iPad's real strong suit. It's a great VNC client, but not suited to the sort of everyday work you'd do on a normal PC or Mac.
It's an ideal vnc, rdp, nx, x window, or remote desktop client, for the user that nearly never uses the keyboard, and does everything with a pointing device (mouse/pen). But for the retro-power user, keyboard macros are sorely missed... and every task becomes tedium. Indeed, I was unaware of my own macro-1337n355 until I started using iPad and was immediately reminded of the first time I had used a Mac (cautiously, in hindsight, soupern00b). A Bluetooth keyboard helps mitigate this, but not all vnc clients have completely integrated the modifier keys (actually, none that I am aware of)
it's in this, I think. If not, I must have read this in a book about the making of the show, out of print I believe (no one cares about the production, but the fantasy is very popular).

...because they failed so amazingly hard at website design.
Great websites aren't designed. They are incepted.
truly nice post, btw

Nope. CIA cover, along the lines of Howard Hughs and the Glomar Explorer.

It is 1 in binary.

Or perhaps convert it to ASCII to see if pi actually represents a story of some kind that is being told to us by the aliens.
You know that's the revelation at the end of a sci-fi novel by a certain revered astronomer, right?
Say 'gain?

Sun has had this tutorial out for a couple years now.
in 5 years, 1 unspayed mouse will have 60,466,176 offspring.
WTF- who spays mice?? LOL

Yes, yes, we get it. You're salty because Microsoft copied and flooded the market with a technology that...
Fixed.
