Sales figures said Vista was doing great as well. Since all new machines are required to come with Windows 8 and not Windows 7, what did you expect the sales figures to say?
That's why people put far more stock in web hits when it comes to market share, since those will show when people overwrote what they "bought" with Windows 7 or Linux.
In the OJ trial, the cops carried OJ's blood around in their car for 3 weeks, 2 weeks AFTER they took a blood sample from OJ himself. This made the evidence trail dirty and the evidence was thrown out. The cops blew every facet of that case except Kato and the limo driver's testimony, which weren't enough to convict him beyond reasonable doubt.
And the best games are typically built on top of someone else's engine. Look at Arkham City, said by many to be the best game of all time. They used off the shelf engines for the 3D world, sound, even physics. But they added a great writer, great voice actors and a ton of cool-looking fighting moves and an open world and made it a truly great game. None of the things that differentiated Arkham City required diff eq. If you love that stuff, great. There's a (high-paying) job for you. If not, suffer through and then come and join us (in a slightly-lower but still high-paying job). You know, the people that haven't used Calculus once since university.
I disagree. I know a lot of people that use tablets to browse web and e-mail and access Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. A house that needed 4 PCs before for a family of four (2 parents, 2 teenagers) now only needs 1 or 2 PCs and 4 tablets. That's a 50%-75% reduction in the number of needed PCs.
Android is pretty open. They let you run just about anything that can't screw up the drivers without even batting an eye (at least on Sprint they do). And rooting your phone is a simple 10-minute process. I'm not really seeing the problem.
The only problem with Wii U is that there is only one A+ title and that's Super Mario. Nintendo hasn't put Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros., Yoshi, Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Contra or any other of their "standard" franchises on it yet (I realize that some of these are from partners, but start pressuring them). It's a fine console with no games.
As someone who grew up with Imperial, I also think it's weird. Dry ounces and wet ounces. Dumb. Land miles is different than nautical miles. Stupid.
But I like writing 20,000 feet instead of switching to something else. Do you spend kiloEuros?
Wood could be 50x100. It would be even better if it actually WERE 50x100 instead of 48x96.
Fahrenheit is way better for weather. You'll never convince me there. 0 is painfully cold and 100 is painfully hot.
Inches are better than centimeters for measuring normal stuff. Millimeters and centimeters are too small for most things and meters are too large. Kilometers vs miles really doesn't matter much, except for the US standard speed of 60 mph making time calculations easier. So in distance, I actually prefer Imperial units.
Cut lumber. But the lumber is measured pre-cut, so you only get 7/8" per inch. A 2x4 is 2 inches by 4 inches by some length. A 4x8 is 4 inches by 8 inches by some length. Those are the most common lumber used.
I saw all the small ones moving immediately and could easily tell the direction, but for the large ones if it was too fast I couldn't do it. On the slower ones I could.

You clearly didn't have an early Saturn... Only thing that ever went out on the car. But it went out on EVERYONE's Saturn.
I'd be interested to see stats on that.
Can I beg for Windows 7? I'll even pay money for it.
Actually, 7 works fine on my Asus netbook. XP? Great. 7? Just fine. Vista? Doesn't run at all.

But the Roomba's guarantee a wire-free floor and that all the tiles are in place... :)

What do you mean? Wii U owners would be thrilled if Nintendo would release ANY of their franchises on Wii U. So far, it's only Mario and Ninja Gaiden.

His intent was to unlock public domain court case records from behind a government-sponsored paywall and serve them up to the public.
Instead, I'll argue intent: wasn't his intent to release all of the public domain materials that he obtained legally?

iExactamundo! iMucho gusto!
Wait!! Are you telling me we used to have politicians that cared about the welfare of the average person?!?
I agree with this exactly. And I grew up with Imperial / US Customary units.
You underestimate the number of Americans in Arkansas, Kentucky and Alabama with 12 fingers and 12 toes...
We keep using Imperial just because we like pissing off the French...

...blind people are stupid?
That's going to be a hard sell.
Not really. They can't even figure out how to see!
Brilliant!
Yes. This is an excellent. I can't wait to see the sociopathy test:
You see a rabbit get hit by a car in the street. You immediately:
1. Check to see if the rabbit is OK.
2. See if the rabbit is owned by a small child and try to comfort them.
3. Free rabbit stew!
4. See if anyone caught it on video and immediately send them DMCA takedown notices.
5. Pull out a gun and shoot the driver of the car.
