Lol, if by "essentially" you mean "they both have square boxes". Otherwise it's nothing like the X1. You're a fool if you don't think Microsoft has a Google ridiculously high paid Ph.D experts in UI design. Neckbeard dweebs like you who hate Microsoft will of course not like anything they do, and Microsoft fanboys will like everything they do. People in between are the people Microsoft tries to design for.
I'm not a denier, but you're not really countering his point. If 500 scientists make 500 predictions, and one is right but 499 are wrong you can't really point to that one (possibly lucky) guy and say "see, we knew it!".
What if I come up with some new crackpot theory tying the price of tea in china to the average incidence of Herpes amongst 19-22 year olds and then predict the price in 5 years based on that theory. I then get lucky, and the price matches my prediction. Have I totally kicked ass with my new theory of Herpes-driven tea prices?
Like I said, I do believe in man-made GW, but the "other side" can easily find one loon who happened to be right and point to him as proving their point. We need broader theory and broader, more often repeatable tests.
Wow, I'm glad you thought of that disaster! You should totally work for Sandia NL, I mean with brilliant insights I'm _sure_ they didn't think of, you would be a great fucking asset.
Seriously, what kind of facile bullshit are you babbling about? As if they wouldn't include such occurrences in their planning?
Well fuck, Darryl, turns out we should have thought about the plane crashing as the massive amounts of radioactive materials we put on that drone just killed 50k people!
What's even more amazing is how many people will crawl out of the woodwork to point their fingers all around to call everyone "racist".
What you said: You're just abusing him because he's black.
What I heard: Hey, everyone, I'm all post racial and shit! Look at me! Hey, look over here at me, I'm a sensitive post racial soul and anyone who disagrees with Obama is one of those backwards racists! But forget all that, hey look at me I'm post-racial!
Kind of a sad form of ego gratification, isn't it?
Totally agreed. And if the US government thinks it's in our best interests to use less oil, they should tax it more or they should stop fighting wars in the middle east and let the price go up naturally, which it should as a limited commodity.
You know an even _better_ way to get people to use electrons produced in the US? Stop fighting foreign wars and artificially keeping the price of oil low. Let OPEC hike the shit out of it, let the middle east fend for itself. When gas is $10 a gallon there will be pressure to bring alternative power and alternatively powered cars to the US.
Your postings have made me stupider. Thanks for that. Seriously, what the fuck are you all on about? Gas is...gas. Just because some asshole thinks his pet definitions are the correct ones doesn't mean the rest of us are going to start following his kooky advice.
Gas does have specific meanings in English, and very high among them is that gas is short for gasoline.
Ah yes, the hippie mentality, children are your buddies and it's pretty cool when they're 15 so they can drink and do pot with their cool parents.
Children are the wards of their adult parents. It's a lot of responsibility and work and you know what? You're right, fuck that let's just let those little bastards run wild! Why would I give a shit where my kid is, fuck it - let him go to some condemned hotel and smoke crack!
What balderdash. Windows managers in UNIX are a "utility" or "add on" too. Should I mock X because if you just run X you get an ugly black and white background with literally nothing on it? And multiple desktops are something a small number of people care about one way or the other.
They're betting the farm on the fact that the only device 70% of users might need in 1 year is their phone. Seriously, think about that.
They want a compute continuum. You can just use your phone and plug a keyboard, mouse, monitor into it and it's a pretty fast Atom chip with SSD storage, 2 gigs of ram, and whatever monitor you want. Then you unplug it and it's a phone, same computer though. Maybe they sell a "laptop" with nothing but a keyboard and monitor and you slide the phone into it - instant portable laptop. Dumb Touchscreen device you connect wirelessly to your phone - instant tablet.
All on the same fucking device. That's god damn hot, I don't care what you say. Some people will need a full blown computer, but a lot of people just need web browsing, videos, and a few x86 apps here and there. You can easily do that on a ca. 2013 Atom phone with 2G of memory.
Uhh, huh? Of course it supports domains. I don't even understand why you'd ask, and yes on ARM too.
I think Microsoft is on the right track - one OS to rule them all. Same experience on your phone, your tablet, and your desktop. I'm old school so I'll use the Aero style interface, but for most it will be very natural.
Same here, though I went to the T-mobile $30 5gigs plan and didn't pay an ETF. Fuck Sprint. First they add that nonsense $10 charge on. Then they changed the employee discount program to be more expensive with multiple lines. They also seem to just give the customer a huge "F U" and tack like $6 or more of random fees and shit on your bill.
My $30 is (almost) $30. No fees. No overages. I theoretically pay a few bucks sales tax, but I found a place to get the T-mobile cards for like $29 for a $30 card with no tax.
I'm personally trying to end the bullshit subsidized model the US has. Sure, I paid $620 for a nice-ass Galaxy Nexus, but over 2 years I'm paying less and over 3 years if I keep the same phone I'll save like $500.
I detest Apple so the icing on the cake is Apple would be in a world of hurt with an unsubsidized model. I hope Sprint goes under, they have made some very stupid decisions and betting all their money on the iPhone is the biggest one.
Of course I'm Libertarian leaning. You're just an impractical, idealistic douchebag, that's all. I grew out of that shit sometime after college, I thought most other people did too.
Stop lying. The NHS delivers a better _average_ healthcare outcome, it doesn't deliver better healthcare outcomes to everybody.
Under the NHS, the bum down the street gets much better care, and I get somewhat less care than I get here. Good for a nation as a whole, really good for others, not good for many.
Don't get me wrong, I've changed my mind in the last year and am mostly for a single payer type system with a sliding deductible ($0 for the truly poor, up to maybe $10k for the wealthy). But that doesn't mean our current system is broken for most of us or that we don't have the best medical technology in the world available.
I'm moderately Libertarian leaning too, and find most of the EuroSocialist vermin around here to be pretty annoying, but...no. We won't go solicit private funding and we will force you to pay taxes, go to prison, or get shot in the head - pick one.
Fundamental energy research is a massive public good, it's critical to both the security and well being of the nation. I don't want a world where China discovers efficient fusion power first and uses it to establish utter world domination.
Your comment is silly. I get where it's coming from and sympathize with your motivations, but they're misguided in this case.
I don't need to backflip, I don't care if the USA is number 1 or not. The only thing lamer than over-patriotism is smug European douchebags ranting about the US.
I just wanted to point out that guns aren't why we have crime. I live in a place that's safe as shit, I don't care about arbitrary US-wide statistics.
Depends on where you live. Picking "the US" as some sort of monolith is a bit childish, why not say North America? There are lots of places in the US with far better crime statistics than Holland, and lots of other places with far worse.
"Huge population", btw, implies "huge proportion" in this context.
You really are a stupid cunt. Let me break this down for you.
My point was that the US is a big country with a larger percentage of poor people, this is why there's more crime not because of gun rights.
We have many different cultures, a huge border with a third world country, and a history of slavery that created an institutionally poor segment of the population. Holland is tiny, far more homogenous than the US, and has a far different divide of cultures.
Here's an idea, cunt. How about we compare the burglaries per 100k people in South Dakota (324)? I mean per 100k is per 100k, right? How about Danbury CT?

Huh? The data is already on your computer. So something that analyzed it doesn't really present much of an additional risk.
Interesting. Tell me more....
