That's true in some cases, but it should always be said that performance often can't be just an afterthought. The same is true for many other desirable software characteristics.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak.
Did they prove that or something? Because, for Portuguese people it sounds pretty stupid too, I can assure you. We don't even have that kind of sound in the beginning of words, so it's certainly not natural nor easy to remember.
Fair enough, but I still think it's not ironic - the guy wants to go to a diverse place where MANY countries have good living conditions, so that he can choose whatever place he likes. And, above Australia there are two european countries, so forget it.
I must say, I find it absolutely HILARIOUS that you're using that list to explain your desire to leave Australia for Europe, when Australia is the #3 most livable country according to that list.
So they decided to use the XP code base and go back to square one and rewrite %60 of the code that was fresh. I knew it would be remade in 6 months! 60%?? Try a year, maybe 18 months? That is just huge.
Did you really believe that when you read it? Poor guy...
As you may have already understood, what they and I mean is that by hard work they mean hard INTELLECTUAL work, which CAUSES you to pound on the keyboard for hours. They're not saying by any means that the act of pounding on the keyboard is hard work.
Knowlege work may be emotionally or otherwise stressful (ever lose 95% of the world's antim*tter with a single keystroke? I have), but that isn't work in the commonly understood context of "hard work" which is commonly (except to the likes of/.) torefer to work requiring strength and endurance.
So, by your definition, a teacher/programmer/lawyer/scientist/secretary/many others can't work hard?
Shift your gaze from the computer screen to the distance. And don't forget to blink!
Does this really happen to people? I think (and really hope) that it never happens for me not to be blinking! Has any of you ever noticed that you haven't blinked for a long time?
Thanks for the link, that seems like a great project! Although, of course, I'd have too many objections to build an electrical device and then connect it to myself...
People can safely live there now so why not the animals?
Animals may not care about half of them dying for strange reasons. People do.
If anything, that supports his argument - you're thinking the opposite way.
It is known (although ignored in strict radiation regulations) that the same dose received in short time is much more harmful than the dose received during longer times.That's nonsense.

Do you know the meaning of "if"?
When we leave, much of the motivation for the majority of terrorist groups in Iraq leaves with us.
Let's hope that it doesn't go back to the U.S. with you too.
Now this means we can't equate Dell with Hell in terms of heat output?
Yeah, but it's still colder than heaven.
Or maybe we're just fucking pigs, or too used to bullshit/humor articles.
Great, I thought I was the only one :)
I somehow doubt they'll be booting suspected pirated movies.
No-one talked about booting (except for you). Autostart is not the same as booting.

The name sounds terrible for portuguese-speaking people.
That's for the people who say that "people from everywhere can say wii naturally" or such non-sense. No Portuguese word starts with that sound.

And I still don't know how to pronouce it...

The only reason to multi-thread is performance
Not true. Often, it's easier to program certain things with two threads than with just one.

He gave other reasons too...
Oh is it??

So what SHOULD Microsoft do? Make Google the default?
By the way, IE7 by default uses whatever the user had set as Autosearch in IE6. You can read about it here.
Problem with C++ and other case sensitive languages would be also how the upper and lower case letters are entered.
Auto-complete + commands for choosing the correct name from the possible ones.

I repeat - which part of it says that it is hard work BECAUSE of pounding on the keyboard?

Seems a response to this troll is necessary, because of idiotic moderations:
What was the part which said that it was hard work due to pounding on the keyboard?
Thanks for the link, that seems like a great project! Although, of course, I'd have too many objections to build an electrical device and then connect it to myself...
And how many albums does the average man download on P2P programs? ;)
In fact, it might be an interesting question since the people using P2P programs are still not so many (relatively speaking, of course).
If anything, that supports his argument - you're thinking the opposite way.
So drug overdoses are nonsense too?
