Gay rights activists go too far. It's one thing to demand a right to do what seams right to you, its another thing to lash out against those who express any kind of disapproval..
Let's take away your ability to marry, and then see if you might be so inclined to lash out in any way. Perhaps when your loved one is dying in the hospital, and you are not allowed to go see her. Would you sit quietly by? I doubt it.
Hyperion also provides AmigaOS SDKs for developers
If it contains anything like their Hyperion Intelligence Designer (IDE-wise), I'll pass. The API leaves much to be desired. If it's just a barebones toolchain, might not be so bad.
You're more productive with tools you're familiar with and used to working with.
I will second this. It is a (potentially disturbing) fact that a huge slice of the workforce is using Outlook, Excel, M$Word, Sharepoint, Exchange, IE, etc, to be productive. They are accustomed to using the products, and spend 5 days a week immersed in that world. I lose sight of this fact during much of each workday (on linux 98% of the time), that is until another email comes in from marketing, or purchasing, and it's got another Excel spreadsheet and a Word document attached. A sobering truth, but a truth nonetheless. The moment I step one inch out of my pleasant Linux bubble, it's an ocean of M$
It has already been stated everywhere in this discussion that the real way to program is by using cables and switches.
Be that as it may, you still receive the same amount of masochism points for not numbering the punch cards, and then dropping them in the hallway later on.
Microsoft threatens Linux with hundreds of imaginary patent violations, but we're going to welcome a bunch of actual MS-patented tech into Linux on purpose and under MS' watchful eye? If you're going to tell me that isn't insanely stupid, you better at least be willing to be an apologist for Microsoft.
Agreed. It's not *quite* putting the fox in charge of the henhouse, but it's at least letting the fox in.
This is an excellent opportunity to honor Monty Python by honoring the group's mastery of shock and irreverence and stop quoting, word for word skits and films! The irony is killing me slowly.

Please do...prevent me from making yet another stupid mistake next time I visit Vegas!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Couldn't you have left the marriage there? :P

I for one am appalled that anyone even drinks that brown water that McDonalds claims is 'coffee'.
Not sure why someone thinks I am trolling here. It's really not a provocative type of paragraph. It accurately describes my current work environment.

Now I wonder what the NC DMV is getting from the Feds in return..
Easy answer. New toys.
I am in NC and I'm writing everyone I can find right now.
Same here.

How much of the centerfold is taken up by the beehive?
A significant overnight spike in traffic is a sure sign that I don't have to go in to the office the next day.

Bring me a new interview with Alan Turing and maybe that would peak my interest
Now that could be quite the challenge. I hear he's not granting many interviews lately.
I am most impressed with his fine work writing the first known 'Hello, world!' program.

Can we have your liver then?
There's an app for that.
This is nothing new. There is a quiet tradition of Reddit users finding the weak points of the site, like this for example.
Putting javascript:$(".up").click()() in the address bar upvotes everything on the page.
WTF is reddit anyway?
Interestingly enough, the stories that end up on /. are not infrequently posted several days earlier on Reddit.
They rolled out a new portal the other day, did anyone notice? No.
I'll have to go take a look. I heard nothing about it.
Because on Vista, IE8 runs sandboxed.
Well, it ought to, since IE8 itself is considered a security patch. :p
I've performed similar procedures. The last time I mortal kombatted my computer, it became several pieces on my floor.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

The internet. Al Gore invented that.
Is there a reason why advertising doesn't pay for the content? What am I missing here?
