The milk was past its use-by date and was very much at risk. Cortana correctly realized that it would be bad for meat creatures to try to consume it and was trying to direct him to get a fresh one.
I'm sure we didn't overstate the danger at all to rally support for the war. No matter how close they were, Hitler was a giant asshole and we needed to be in that war so we could fuck him.
Interestingly, it seems there are a lot of misconceptions about that what was going on over there. One might draw parallels to what's going on over there today in Syria, but it seems that we're not in the business of fucking assholes so much anymore. No one has the energy to fuck those assholes anymore.
Java was supposed to protect you from shitty coding. "Oh, use Java," they said, "and you'll never have to worry about memory management or buffer overflows again!" It's true. They said that. They said you could write your program once and run it everywhere. They said you could use Java and hire chimpanzees to do you programming for you.
All those promises only turned out to be true-ish. The chimpanzee quota for most teams actually remained fairly consistent. Turns out a lot of companies were hiring chimpanzees before Java came along. Some of the chimpanzees tried to use Java for system-level programming, and it turned out to not be very good at that. While it was technically true that you didn't have to worry about memory management anymore, if you didn't, you mostly handled your server running out of memory and crashing every few days by rebooting it every couple of days. Logs became a morass of unhandled and permanently ignored exceptions. I often start a new job, look in their logs directory and find gigabytes of exceptions that no one ever looked at.
But you know, it's still better! Because now instead of most programs being giant masses of functions that reimplement system API commands and never take responsibility for any action, they're now giant masses of objects that reimplement system API commands and never take responsibility for any action. Some of them just pass messages around from service to service, none of which anyone truly understands since the system designer was laid off years earlier.
Arguably yeah, implementation language doesn't make a difference. All those teams could have written shitty code and poorly designed systems no matter what language they were using. The implementation language just makes it easier to operate without any discipline and maintain the illusion that they're competent at what they're doing.
Yeah, they're constantly advertising around here. Them and Level 3 and Echostar. These companies' reputations precede them. When you hear them whining about not being able to find qualified people, it's because they're shitty places to work and their salaries are always below market, and everyone in the business around here knows it.
I'm surprised no one's who's had a take-down that wasn't legit hasn't made a case that the takedown was in itself copyright infringement (Claiming a copyright you didn't own) and theft of service. I'd probably try to add libel to the list, too, seeing as how being dinged for copyright infringements can seriously impact your ability to make a living, if that living is from video service ad revenue.
Hmm. I've been in two since I started driving in 1986. One, lady parked on the side of the road opened her door into my side as I was going by. Her looking in her rearview before getting out would have prevented that one. Also, her having car insurance would have helped, too.
Second one I hit a patch of ice coming around a corner and slid into a curb. Traction control/ABS might have helped there. That was before they were standard on most cars.
I've also prevented my now-elderly father from being in a few. He'll occasionally not notice that traffic has stopped, and I've pointed out that everything's stopped ahead. He would very definitely benefits from having emergency braking on his car. It might even save his life at some point in the future. Oddly, it's not because of his age. He's always been like that. I warn him well in advance now, when I'm in the car and he's driving. I think he watches the guy directly in front of him, while I'm watching the entire line of cars for as far as I can see. Brakes come on 6 cars forward, I tell him they're all getting ready to stop.
If they have a decent github portfolio, I'd probably hire them. But then, I'd hire a high school dropout if they had a decent github portfolio. I value participation in open source projects much more than a piece of paper from some university. I've seen the kinds of programmers they produce.
I've done that a couple of times with kdenlive for some amateur skydiving videos. It probably wouldn't work so well for production quality stuff, but it works fine for what I'm doing. Most of my videos are less than 10 minutes, though.
I remember that phone! That was supposed to be the Jesus phone! According to the hype, it was supposed to give you a spontaneous orgasm when you opened the packaging! And it would free us all forever and ever from the evil Google hegemony! Somehow I never got around to ordering one and lost track of it after it was released. So... how's that working out for them?... Oh... wow that went down in flames quickly, didn't it? Let me guess, didn't deliver on the orgasm thing?
I use cygwin for that. You can install an ssh server as well, which is handy if you need to copy files to/from the machine and don't want to dick around with setting up samba. Cygwin actually makes for a pretty decent working environment. I set it up with Emacs, X.org and a bunch of network utilities that Windows doesn't come with.
Mostly just more skydiving and less working for douschebags. Having to work 40 hours a week to support my hobby, I've got several more years flying a wingsuit and jumping from a plane before I feel comfortable getting into BASE. And most of the good BASE jumping is Europe. Barring accidents, I think I could easily spend a couple of decades at this hobby, even if that was all I was doing.
Wouldn't be any accidents with all automated cars. For that matter, if a light's out, it won't matter to an automated car. Once they're all automated, lights would just be a visual indicator to the car's passengers that they're stopping. And central traffic control should have to stop cars a lot less than cars currently have to stop.
Could be overridden from a central location and commanded to drive to the nearest police station, far less risky to the public and police officers in the field than pulling them over in some random location. Once it's at the local police station it could be directed to the high security suspect holding spot / car crusher out back, where the occupants could be safely extracted before or after being crushed with their car.
Did you see that 4 mile high glowing pyramid? That's precursor technology right there! We need to mount an expedition to it so we can be the bait in a real-life "Alien vs Predator" scenario! Because that's ALWAYS what happens when you mount an expedition to a 4 mile high glowing pyramid on Ceres!
Or possibly just at home. The kind of people who tend to go on about "WIFI radiation" are usually the same ones who use "organic" cleaning agents that don't really kill any bacteria and don't vaccinate their children. For all we know, he could be an unvaccinated child who's been living in a moldy, dirty-ass environment until they sent him off. The second he went off to school, all the diseases that everyone else is immune to all could have combined in his system to make turbo-ebola. I predict all their faces be melting off shortly.
I was working IBM's OS/2 support at the time. I liked to demo formatting a floppy and doing something else at the same time on OS/2. I forget what the other thing was, though, I think it varied. I think occasionally it was printing or something. You had to be very careful how you went about it, though. Although OS/2 was preemptively multitasking, the GUI still only had a single input queue. So you could easily grind the system to a halt with poorly behaved GUI apps. Which were all the GUI apps. So you had to kick off your format command from the command line.
Even though IBM boasted about having threads in OS/2, even IBM never actually used them. Ironically a lot of windows versions of IBM apps, like the documentation reader that came with the OS/2 development kit, worked a lot better in OS/2 than their native apps did. You could actually run windows apps in separate memory space, so one crashing didn't bring them all (or the OS) down. And if one of those windows apps stopped processing for a while, you could still get stuff done on your computer.
When the 95 COMDEX rolled around in Atlanta, I volunteered to go on my own time and provide tech support for Team OS/2. They gave us all pink Team OS/2 polo shirts and a bunch of install packages. My favorite bit about the show was setting the OS up on a quad processor Compaq system with a MASSIVE 16 MB of RAM on it. We made a ram disk, pulled the demo videos off the OS/2 install media and set up 4 media players to play the videos in separate windows -- an amazing feat at the time. Hell, playing video at all was not a common thing at the time. Most people were lucky if they could dial up a BBS and download some 8 bit porn.
I'd already started switching to Slakware when IBM announced they were killing OS/2, and that was pretty much the end of all that.
Trump's already proven with his campaign of misogyny and racism that he is the One True Voice of the Republican party.The rest of you never had a chance in the face of his glorious Trump hole. He doesn't even listen to himself, he just opens it and some new Trumpism comes forth, like a unicorn crapping a rainbow. And when that unicorn craps that rainbow, he goes up in the polls another 5 points. Jeb, you and the other also-rans are already completely irrelevant, so please stop trying to out-crazy the guy.

They were working on a particle accelerator, but were interrupted.
Aand... make a video of you fucking youtube, which you could then post to youtube? I bet the ad revenue from that would be insane!
It's actually pretty funny.
