Not in the video. I expected at least a voiceover: "We're hovering over this yard. The homeowner is coming out the back door with his shotgun. Oh, [...]! Game over, man! Game over!"
Although beans might get an astronaut to move faster in zero gravity from the expanding gas, the smell left behind in the cabin will probably get them cast out of an air lock without a space suit.
According to ancient lore, a pair of low-level HP engineers put in a request for a Saturn V rocket and a vice president killed their request. HP would have been a different company if it had to listened to their users.
I'm the guy at work who rips out the Gnome/KDE window managers, installs Blackbox, and automatically runs terminal windows on login. When I use Linux, it's exclusively the command line. My coworkers hate using my laptop in a pinch, as they can't find their Red Hat certified asses without a GUI to guide them.
My sister-in-law had an analog phone with a $10 per month service plan for nearly ten years. One day the phone slipped out of her pocket into the toilet bowl and the toilet automatically flushed when she got up. Bye-bye, analog phone. Hello, digital phone with $50/month service plan. Karma!
Honestly I think the only reason it will be declared as 'so good' is because Windows 8/8.1 were so bad.
I thought the Windows 8/8.1 desktop was no better or no worse than the Windows 7 desktop. Of course, I banished the Metro interface five minutes after installing. Then again, I never bother with the GUI on Linux, as the command line is always excellent.
Nvidia TNT2 for Windows desktop and software-rendered games, and a pair of 3Dfx Voodoo 2 SLI boards for 3Dfx games. Got me through many rounds of Quake and Quake 2. Now get off my lawn!
I turned down a tech support job because a co-worker was still there and making the same amount of money I did when we worked together ten years ago. Because I did contract work for numerous Fortune 500 companies over the last decade, the company offered to rehire me for 80% more money than the coworker. Those 2% raises for staying in one position don't amount to much.
I'm always surprised by how many software engineers know how a computer operates in theory but are clueless when operating a computer outside of the classroom. As you pointed out earlier, operating and programming a computer are different beasts.
When I worked as a video game tester for six years (1998-2004), I had to train the youngsters out of high school who didn't believe that video games existed before they were born. So I introduced them to a tester who tested video games since the 1980's, and another tester who tested pen-and-paper games in the 1970's. They were also shocked to learn that AD&D existed as a board game before video games came along.
My favorite gaming combination back then was a Nvidia TNT2 and a pair of 3Dfx Voodoo 2 SLI video cards. Although I had AMD K5 CPU (not as good as the K6-2 that came later), I was able to smoke my roommates with their more expensive Intel Pentium CPUs and software rendering video cards in Quake 2.

You're right. Real space food is B-L-U-E.
Actually, the sermon was in 1995. The minister's previous job was a used car salesman. Go figure.

OP meant "Die to Code". If Diet Coke doesn't kill him first, his code will eventually kill him.
As my minister once pointed out in a sermon, a Diet Coke doesn't make your Big Mac any healthier to eat.

The same predictable douchey driver argument that rears it's ugly head in every single A/B article that's posted on /.
FTFY - As for red and green, it's not Christmas — and July was last month.

Ben Grimm has a... stoner?!
The pinkies are jail bait. Best to leave them out.
I've spent many happy hours watching people struggle with Windows, while I buzz along on my Linux system.
And I get paid big bucks to fix Windows problems between the keyboard and the chair at my job. Now that's job security.

We're talking about JavaScript, not Windows. :P
Must be a test run of Amazon's new delivery service. I hope that the home service delivers to the door and not drop packages willy-nilly in the yard.

Uwe Boll gave up on video game movies because fans don't appreciate the brilliant genius that he brings to the big screen.
Denver sounds like the perfect drone-free city!
Or 500 feet above sea level.
