There are only two things I miss from Windows 7. This is one of them.
To turn the computer off in Windows 7: Windows Key, Right Arrow, Enter. To turn the computer off in Windows 8: Windows Key +i, grab mouse, wander over to power icon, click on icon. or Play a quick game of "where is the mouse focus" trying to get the right-hand slide out to work.
(The other peeve: forcing me to have an email address tied to the Windows 8 install)
Nope. According TFA, it was Grimm, not "the cop" who made the Giffords analogy. There is a considerable difference between property damage and getting shot in the face.
It is, in part, about establishing a false equivalence. A Democratic Representative being shot in the face is just the same as a Republican Representative loosing a couple hours of computer uptime.
Not everyone is talking about the visible spectrum you insensitive clod.
Irrespective of where the sunshine is falling, not being able to maintain direct radio contact seems like a considerable detriment to me. I.e. radio-dark.
If you take irregular steps or move your cup around in a random motion you can overcome this.
If you walk without rhythm, you wont attract the worm. Who knew it was mostly interested in spilled coffee.
Also, changing the amount of coffee in the container should change the mass of the arm/cup/coffee system and may move its natural frequency away from your natural stride. (but that is harder to fit into a sci-fi plot and/or techno beat)
1) THE FUCKING SUN has all the elements that humans and plants need though nitrogen content is very low. 2) Are your crops going to live underground too? 3) There is nowhere near enough water on Mars. What is there is not readily available nor easily concentrated. 4) Dirt != Soil. This is where the nitrogen really bites you in the butt. Is it better to wait for hundreds of years to grow your own, or to ship tons of organic matter from mother earth?
There is no reason to send people to Mars. They cannot do science more cost effectively than a robot. They cannot colonize because it will take GEOLOGIC time to terraform it.
Don't worry. Once they solve the "there isn't any air" problem, the "there isn't any magnetosphere" problem, the "there isn't any water problem", and the "there isn't any soil" problem they will easily be able to whip up some FTL communications tech.
How DARE you go against the slashdot groupthink?!? Apple is the source of all that is evil in the world. People who purchase their products should be pitied and reviled.
It is nearly impossible to purchase AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Pro/E these days without a "maintenance contract" that includes "free" upgrades. I.e. the big three (imho) of engineering CAD software are already on the subscription model. This removes the software cost barrier to OS upgrades.
I'm not going to say there aren't a few holdouts clutching their copy of AutoCAD 12 on floppy disc*. Or a few grey bearded autolisp hackers that don't want to have to update/debug their.lsp files/again/**. I'm saying that J. Random CAD Admin shouldn't have any issues updating their OS/hardware platform.
Citizens United did not create fraud. But it did make it a lot easier to perpetuate. So many "social advocacy" groups that no one has ever heard of, no one knows who runs, no one knows who funds, no one knows where the money goes.
Just make a Kittens & Puppies for Christ PAC, set up a web page, post a couple partisan screeds on it, add a DONATE button, and presto: money.
Even better if you actually do a tiny bit of whatever qualifies for advocacy these days and roll the rest into "operating expenses". (So much more civilized than "hookers and blow")
As far as I am aware, even the nuclear bunker busters can only go a couple hundred feet deep (~50m). The Fuji magma chamber is about 56km below the surface.
So, hey. Nobody is going to mind if we set off about a thousand nukes, will they?

It's gambling when the guy selling the contract isn't growing the corn and the guy buying the contract doesn't plan on using it.

And it asks me to tap the screen whenever I plug in a USB device. Doesn't do anything when I do tap the screen. Except leave fingerprints.
Perhaps Microsoft will get into the lucrative (?) microfiber cloth market.
Perhaps he gave up religion for Lent?

Yeah, sure until you have stripped everything down as far as will go and are left with a cloud of hydrogen gas... oh. I see. Clever.
Only four connections? Just get a big bag of tee connectors.
... selling each one at a net loss.
False.
Surely the Doctor would not stoop so low.

There needs to be a "-1 lame attempt at humor" mod.

*I used to work for one.
**I used to _be_ one.
freedom
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
When your accountant thinks it's a good idea. Don't have an accountant? Don't think you need one? Then you don't need to be incorporated.

Is it a red capsule or a blue one?
