Not if you know what the fuck you're doing... You neckbeards crack me up. In what way would you debate.NET as the king of traditional enterprise apps? What are you going to use to develop n-tier apps with high availability requirements, Python and PHP lolzers?
Microsoft has had some rough times both because they missed the boat on the Mobile Revolution and because they _royally_ fucked up by trying to turn the desktop into Metro. Their heart was in the right place by trying to make one unified interface to help them in the mobile business, but it's just an epic fail. It would have been so easy to do it right, too - make Metro the default on touch-enabled interfaces, but make it easy to disable it and make the desktop the default on non touch devices.
But I think they will ultimately be successful because they're the best software development company in the world. That's controversial (though it shouldn't be) but they are. They have the money, the culture, and the people to write very good software when they don't make otherwise bad decisions (like Metro Everywhere). That's why I bought an Xbox One instead of a PS4, not because I hate Sony but because Microsoft is fundamentally a better software company and I expect more and better features from them.
Same thing in the mobile market - Windows Phone is very nice technically and their development tools are leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else's. This doesn't assure them success but it's something only a fool would dismiss.
They are classified as at risk. And why _exactly_ do you think they _aren't_ endangered? It's not because we declared a free for all on dolphin fishing.
Yeah, no. I'm a carnivore but there should be a line somewhere in terms of intelligence. All signs point to Dolphins certainly being beyond that point. Furthermore, last time I checked pigs and chickens aren't at any risk of being endangered or extinct.
What next, are you going to go out and shoot/eat a bald Eagle because your neighbor has some chickens? "Turr, same thing, durrr!" - use that line on them when the feds come for you.
I don't know, but you'd think D-Wave could maybe suggest, even vaguely, a single problem which it can solve faster than a conventional computer costing a fraction as much, no? I mean just _one_ problem where it really shines.
Call us when there is a _single_ problem that D-Wave can solve faster than a computer costing 1/2 as much. In fact, 1/5th as much. Until then it's just sci-fi.
I'm marginally for the death penalty, but I think it should be an incredible burden of proof on the state. Maybe one jury to convict with life sentence and recommendation for death. Then a panel of 3 judges (maybe even one each of Federal, State, and Local) should affirm death, and finally a third "death sentence" jury. It should go beyond the usual burden of proof.
First, he didn't suffer. He was out. So this is much ado about nothing, or about the discomfort of those witnessing it.
Second, if they want painless the guillotine (modified, to bisect the brain and not sever the head) or a high pressure hydraulic hammer smashing the head within 20 milliseconds would do the job. No pain possible.
Whiny left wing bitches who would walk up to a group of toughs on a dark street and announce how much they empathize with them as they're being beaten and mugged.

The truth, meaning that it's a pretty damn nice product especially the Pro? Or perhaps you have specific criticisms?
I know, I didn't throw in enough mindless "Micro$hafts" or invoke Clippy enough. I'll try harder next time.
I'm a .NET developer so I'm a Fanboy because nothing else comes close for enterprise development.
Get smaller tweezers.

What's wrong with you greedy fucks? $33.5k is chump change to you? You must all be 1%ers.
God, shut the fuck up. Next time you go on a meandering, bewildering rant like that try to at least make some sort of valid point, you idiot.
Lolzers, you go girl! I think you should get a cookie for your brave stance against racism.
An "extinction" event
wouldn't wipe out all human life here
Orly? Dictionary says otherwise.

Laughable bullshit, trite and untrue. You don't think people campaign to protect endangered sharks or snakes?
Yeah, no. I'm a carnivore but there should be a line somewhere in terms of intelligence. All signs point to Dolphins certainly being beyond that point. Furthermore, last time I checked pigs and chickens aren't at any risk of being endangered or extinct.

Proof? Lol, what more proof do you need than the facts on the ground. How many women are in CS, again?
Seriously, you people are nuts. Bitcoin was bad enough, now any half-wit with a web browser can go create "currencies".
It's going to be hilarious seeing the inevitable fall and a bunch of dumbfounded dipshits standing around saying "whu happened?!"
And yes, I know some people have made real money. I hear pyramid schemes often start out that way.
With your go-getter attitude and winning personality I'm _amazed_ you can't find work!
You need some vocabulary help...

Lol, you seem to imagine lines backed up with tens of thousands of Americans lining up with popcorn. Risible.

The Europeans feel they have the right to impose their death penalty views on us by refusing to sell us these drugs if used for executions.
And they certainly do - but seems we have the same rights not to ship them weapons, our own drugs, etc...
Massively less pleasant. He was not conscious. This article and the hubbub are all nonsense.
Whiny left wing bitches who would walk up to a group of toughs on a dark street and announce how much they empathize with them as they're being beaten and mugged.
Emotion? You mean like crying over a passed out/unconscious man grunting and snorting as he dies? That kind of emotion? Fucking please.
