The point wasn't that MRI's didn't exist before 1986. The point was that it is unlikely they would find an MRI created before 1986. Considering they seem to take this mentality with them wherever they go, it's not just about "banning it from the house" but from use anywhere.
They basically want their kids to have the 1986 experience because they otherwise don't know how to say "no" to the kids unless it's for some batshit insane idea like this.
I feel sorry for the kids, honestly. Seems this could be corrected with proper parenting instead of going some sort of half-assed kinda-Amish-but-not number.
In the case of the pencil and the eraser, I think anyone can consider it was an obvious thing to do.
But what about all this complex wizardry in the computer world? What patent examiner really understands what is going on to say with sufficient confidence that such and such isn't innovative or otherwise worthy of a patent? That's why patent applications designed merely to confuse patent examiners get granted with such regularity.
It's like having a regular joe sit in on a surgery and critique the doctors performing it. What can he really say other than "seemed good to me" when the surgery is complete? We need patent examiners who understand this stuff and can come to educated decisions.
His reasoning was different. The group he sued was trying to make a profit from the speech. In this case, it's a nonprofit group that's run by his daughter.
That's not the point he's making. Sure, this particular operation has no undercover operatives, but what if he had leaked information with such individuals? Would it go too far then?
I'm saying that if the CEO personally decides to go against the ban and people get hurt then he has to accept some responsibility.
Except that's not what happened. You would know that wasn't actually what happened if you did even a cursory look into the events as they unfolded. Your whole rant about sticking it to the CEO being good is entirely misguided.
True enough it can be helpful. I personally love the effect. I thought it was a big gimmick until I actually saw it in person on my new 3DS XL and fell in love with it while playing animal crossing. Still, I mostly just took issue with is analogy, since it implied the thing is basically worthless without the effect.
There's no point in waiting for a 2DS XL. You can just get a 3DS XL and turn off the 3D and suddenly you have a 2DS XL with a clamshell design/w stereo sound.
Do they, really? Tablet/phone games are rarely anything to write home about unless you like incredibly simplistic games, akin to playing browser games. They will never properly compete with full game releases when actual gamers are concerned. It just won't happen. There will always be a market for those seeking more substance in their games. The fact that they haven't gone belly up despite the iPhone/iPad being out as long as it has is a testament to that. We always hear about how doomed the handheld console market is over phones because of "99 cent games", but it never actually happens.
You're a pretty good example for future laws mandating certain "drivers" only being in autonomous cars. If you can't handle the rules of driving because you're in a hurry, you should not be behind the wheel.
Why is "gorilla arm" only a thing when it pertains to computers? Why can literally large chunks of the human population already do these kind of things, but we apparently can't?
For me, the issue I take with it is it essentially wastes a lot of space to present even less information. I don't need gigantic tiles for every program I use stretched across the entire screen. The content aware tiles are nice but I have little need for them specifically, so it becomes a matter of wasted space and inconvenience as I might also need to see something on the screen as I'm typing into the search bar, such as program arguments.
I don't absolutely hate the metro screen, but I definitely do not prefer it and would disable it given the chance.
I really don't get what the point adding the start button even does at this point in time, except as a demonstration that Microsoft didn't understand what the actual problem was. Anyone can hit the windows key or even ctrl+escape to access the metro screen. What people wanted back was the familiar menu. The "start button" is irrelevant and merely a waste of space if all it does is activate the metro screen we already have.
This is simply not true. Long distance relationships can be stressful and straining on the relationship but there is no guarantee it will result in failure. I had the long distance thing going on for over 6 years and there was no fire and brimstone at the end of the tunnel.

Man they have a lot to look forward to as they relive the 80s and 90s.

It always amuses me when people take pride in tripping up chatbots as if it's something complicated to do.

You might want to reexamine where the comma is placed in the price.
Why?
Who said anything about better? We're talking about irrelevance.

It's positively absurd.
Greed? Yeah, I'd say that's pretty much the basis for almost everything wrong with the world, when it comes to mankind.
Good for you?
Why the hell do you live in such a crummy place, then?

There is literally no point if you already have a 3DS.

...what? the 3D functionality of the 3DS is not necessary for any game, ever. In fact, many people never touched their 3D slider to begin with.
You're a pretty good example for future laws mandating certain "drivers" only being in autonomous cars. If you can't handle the rules of driving because you're in a hurry, you should not be behind the wheel.
That was exactly what I was thinking. That certainly sounds pretty catastrophic to me.

The search bar inside the Windows 7 start menu is functionally equivalent to the run dialog you're referring to.
