Yes, but they also instituted stack ranking for performance reviews about the same time, so by now the upper echelons are hopelessly full of people whose core competencies are "pushing others under the bus" and "making it look like an accident", instead of engineering and leadership.
I'm hoping someday a former executive will write a tell-all book about the backstabbing in Redmond... and title it "A Game of Chairs".
Ok, so insert a few random leaked documents into every presentation. By the end of the week, anyone with a security clearance will have so much paperwork to do explaining why they had unauthorized access to every one of hundreds of pieces of classified information, they won't get around to doing any real work until the week before DefCon 2014.
...to use their desktop monopoly to gain a foothold in the tablet market. And if there were an antitrust regulator left anywhere on earth that still had the intestinal fortitude to go after Microsoft, they would be getting fined for it.
"Getting developers on board"... yeah, on board the doomed ship SS Surface.
So, if WoW gold is taxable revenue, that means depreciation of your gaming PC and MMO subscription fees become deductible business expenses, right? That should offset any added tax liability nicely.
I doesn't play nice with greybeards who navigate the web by remembering URLs. Normal people can handle the concept of there being a search box that treats valid URLs as a search term specific enough to bypass google, in the spot where Netscape 4 used to have the URL box.
"The danger, he cautions, is when Big Design becomes Big Commitment — as sometimes business sponsors see this plan as something that needs to be tracked against."
Damn skippy it becomes something to be tracked against. The customer is going to validate against the Big Design so your agile team's adult supervision better be doing it too!
It looked about the same in 2004 when Ubuntu bug #1 was filed.
We just didn't think that Palm and un-upgradable proprietary cell phone OSes were competing against Windows, where now we think that iOS and Android (and maybe Ubuntu for tablets) are. It's a change of perception, not numbers.
or will a server product have metro interface, that will be slow as crap on remote desktop on slow nets.
One color plus white for each tile, no shadows or alpha blending or even bevel effects anywhere... Metro would probably be faster than "classic" Win2k style on a slow connection.
And netbooks shipped with an operating system that supports tiled or overlapping windows,
...and a tiny, cheap trackpad that made trying to manage multiple windows absolutely fucking maddening. Take off the rose-tinted glasses, there was a "culture of using an external mouse" with netbooks because you one to navigate beyond the login screen!
I've always been skeptical of ZFS on Linux because it's not in the kernel tree, but now that btrfs has RAID 5 and 6 emulation I'm considering moving my big file shares volume from from XFS on dmraid to btrfs raid6.
Either way, there are some good reasons for breaking the filesystem/block layer barrier...
QuickOffice - Which Google bought 2 years ago and promptly quit updating (possibly to kill off a rival to GDocs pathetic offline capabilities) is a slow and rather dated looking, regular client-side Office suite.
Windows doesn't even enter into it. "Client-server" traditionally meant that the client ran on one user's local machine, and the server ran on a big multi-user remote system. In X11 nomenclature every user sits in front of his own individual "server", its unarguably backwards from standard usage.
Because weather doesn't give a shit for national borders. If you want to know what's going to happen in California next week, you need to gather data over Japan now.

Boring, old T-SQL: "SELECT USER_ID FROM USERS..."
New dialect coming in SQL Server 2014: "BING USER_ID FROM USERS..."

"TWiTfan", eh.
John C. Dvorak, is that you? Still trying to rile the Mac fanboys after 30 years?
I look forward to the day when 3D printers are as cheap, ubiquitous, and easy to use as their 2D inkjet printer counterparts.
With a 25-33% print failure rate, it sounds like they're already there.

The art is fine, what he needs as a stretch goal is another writer and an editor. Megatokyo hasn't had a detectable trace of plot in at least 5 years.

Biometric school bus security???
Seriously, what the unholy fuck has gone wrong with this country?

You missed two steps, the full process is:
1: Add non-standard repo
2: Kiss distro maintainer support goodbye.
3: Install package
4: Kiss kernel developer support goodbye (kernel tainted: disabling lock debugging)
There is no symmetrical connectors for the USB ones
No, but USB-A are just close enough to symmetrical that you can try to plug them in upside-down.
Post it to ZeroHedge, and mention Obama in the headline. They'll be tripping over each other to buy your gold at $1800 in no time...

Don't worry too much about the long-term implications, they'll get bored and drop it in a few years.
Except here, for we have replaced "midnight" with "naan"...
We have? I'm going to have to have words with the owner of the Punjabi restaurant across the street, they close at 9...
