I would have thought they'd want a kernel optimized for small devices driving the phones and a different one for desktops. Maybe have them implement the same API. But isn't the kernel something you'd want optimized for the device family?
You see it used a lot for objects and an instance of the object. For example, in C# you might have a class named Person and create an instance of it like this:
Yes, I have a few Creative Computings around. But I got my start after reading an article in Atari Explorer magazine about BASIC. I cut my teeth on the horrible Basic that was Atari ST Basic. But then I moved to the awesome GFA Basic. From there to C and various other languages. Remember the "B" in Basic stands for Beginner. It's a good language to teach the fundamentals -- variables, looping, etc.
Think of it more like the anniversary of the slide rule. Sure, you wouldn't use it today for doing calculations, put it has a place in history and was a step toward more powerful things. And some amazing stuff was done with it, like going to the moon.
That's what the B in BASIC is for -- Beginners. You use it to learn about variables and loops and if statements and other such concepts. Then you move on to other languages (C, Python, etc.) where the concepts are the same but the languages are better structured.
Mr. Stallman is still finishing building his all open source hardware so he can write the all open source software to run on it so he can receive the email. (But first he has to find an ISP that runs all open source software.)
I think you just wrote the plot to the next syfy movie of the week (after Snarknado 2): a small group of geologists notice a series of small quakes. They believe a much larger one is coming. They try to warn people but no one listens. As the story unfolds one of the geologist is reunited with her former boyfriend -- a computer hacker. As time is about to run out, they hack into all the computers on the west coast and set them to play a certain sound. This ends up stopping the earthquake.

Can't blame this one on Bush :-)
The keyboard might be a little off, but the floppy disk could easily be a micro SD card.
I mostly use H&R Block. Usually cost between $100-$200 but they do it quicker than I could and (I hope) are less likely to make mistakes.
This year, however, we went with Turbo Tax Online because that's what my wife wanted to do.

Didn't any of you people watch "The Time Machine"?!

If you want verbose, look at Java or even worse, COBOL.

Person person = new Person();
Millennium award? That sounds either 13 years late or way, way too early.

Wow. A Slashdot summary that shows both sides of something.
Honey I've lost the remote! Can you call it!

"For the First Time, Organ Regenerated Inside a Living Animal"
So, all the other times they were regenerated inside dead animals?
I'm more worried about the ones who are concerned about Guam tipping over and who think the U.S. Constitution is 400 years old.
But after the editor did that, shouldn't the reporter who's going to be presenting the final story have watched it to make sure everything was okay?
True. But he did steal focus when you were in the middle of trying to watch a movie.
"Microsoft also finally unveiled Cortana, their digital assistant software that's similar to Siri."
As opposed to Clippy, their digital assistant software that's similar to Jar Jar Binks.

Crazy? Yes. Too crazy for SyFy? No.
But where would we get a set of headphones that big??
Ted Danson said in 1998 that we had 10 years to save the oceans or else.
Al Gore said in 2006 that we had 10 years to stop global warming.
