Get up, go to the bathroom, go to a stall, take off your underwear, wipe yourself off, put pants back on without your underwear, get out of the stall, throw away your soiled underwear and get back to work.
I do not give a shit how long someone has been on the highway if someone is blocking me from getting on said highway.
AKA, it's a merge lane (far right lane), if you aren't merging get into the travel lane (middle lane), or if passing people in the travel lane do so in the passing lane (far left lane)
One reason the OEMS have stuck with Windows is it's low support cost. If MS releases Win 8 in it's current version then the support costs of Windows is going to go though the roof.
If I am right about that, and it is doubtful I am right about anything, then we may either see OEMs starting to ship something other than Windows, or the support costs of the operating system may be born by Microsoft directly rather than the OEM.
When it ends up costing less to support something other than Windows then the OEMS will drop Windows.
The amount of technical assistance calls that the computer manufacturers are going to receive will make the Vista roll-out a fond memory in comparison.
My comment was not about stability, it is about how the user interfaces with the operating system and in that respect Microsoft Bob and the Metro interface are very similar.
You may want to look at my comment again since you didn't appear to read it the first time.
Some may say that this is a re-incarnation of Microsoft Me or Microsoft Vista, no, it is much worse than that, this is a re-incarnation of Microsoft Bob.
So as you can see I did not compare it to Vista or ME, but many people do and I mentioned that it gets mentioned, but then I compared it to Microsoft Bob.
Apples claim that they do not get virus/trojan/whatever was not supported by facts, but instead was supported by history. Apple has changed their marketing, but not their products.

It does not matter which platform you want to put this OS on, it will suck on all of them.
MAYBE that would stem a tiny bit of the corruption in this country.
You have some interesting ideas, but your punishments are too extreme and could easily be applied to people who did their best. You would imprison people for making the ethically correct, but unpopular decisions.
That person has to abide by all laws that they pass, and has to be a part of any program that a normal middle class American would be eligible for. That goes for all of the country's leaders. They will be paid no more than average middle class citizens and be given tickets for commercial transportation (paid for by the government). Until their term is over, they will be unable to touch any of the assets they held prior to gaining office. They will be given stewards to take care of their estate while serving.
Might I suggest instead is to house them in government dormitories modeled after military dormitories.
Right. Go back up to the bit about the/. crowd only cares about it being in English.
They don't care that it isn't correctly attributed as long as they can read it. Being able to read the story is the primary concern.
From what you said The Local translates these stories themselves, if that is correct then I rather doubt there is a secondary English source for these stories.
He did demonstrate that he is capable of doing research and thinking critically and applying it, and the school is absolutely pissed that he did so.
The part I suspect the school is actually pissed about is how he managed with some friends to share notes regarding lectures that were taking place simultaneously. Although according to the article he and his friends did get permission before hand.

It really is not complicated.
Get up, go to the bathroom, go to a stall, take off your underwear, wipe yourself off, put pants back on without your underwear, get out of the stall, throw away your soiled underwear and get back to work.

Then get the hell out of the merge lane.
The difference between your post and everyone else's post is it appears you actually RTFA.
Lets see them saw through this.

I imagine it may have had something to do with the number of articles that talked about the role Linux played in the discovery of the higgs.

Just hadn't heard of an instance in which Apple had downgraded one of their products.
Always looking to learn something new.

Look up Microsoft Bob, it is an extremely dumbed down user-interface that is very similar to the Metro interface.

Comparing Win8 to ME or Vista is unfair to Win8.
Hence my referencing Microsoft Bob. Much like Metro, Bob is an unnecessary UI that is purposely designed to be idiot friendly.
Hopefully this will not be the end of civilization.

Which technicians were cut?
The ones with low agility, the others moved out of the way fast enough.
Can I get a one year replacement warranty on that for more than the product is worth?
I thought charging for support accounted for around 90% of their profit?
If they are losing money on support they are totally fucked.

The only part the /. crowd cares about is the translate to English portion.
If you can find a good news source for the stories in English then post them.
If you can't then translate it and show us what we are missing.
Your steps are slightly off, the first two steps are performed by media agencies with reporters,
then a blogger makes a post on his blog that gets the facts even more wrong than the reporter does,
and then someone posts an even less correct summary to /.
AND THEN you get the nerds screaming in self-righteous rage.
Those who tend to rise to power in religious circles are rarely concerned with religion and usually more concerned with power.
It's only the peons who blow themselves up.
