You'll need those twinkies... And lots of 'em. Yellowstone super volcano is a planetary killer - or best scenario: many, many, many years of the equivalent of nuclear winter.
'have appeared offering services that are frowned upon by most.'
Frowned on? Really? Frowned on?! Are you fucking kidding me? Have reached the point with political correctness that we can't call it what it is?! Fucking crazy?!
Well maybe, but Microsoft had the advantage of being able to fire incompetent employees. No bid awards typically have far less to due with performance and more to do with maximizing payment.
The problem is you're thinking about it all wrong. The decisions were probably all right at the time. If you think there's a crystal ball that will tell you what the future will bring, you're going to look long and hard. The right decision is right for now. The best you can do is design so that moving to something else is possible instead of painful.
Right. Because as every parent will tell you, all you have to do is explain the logic to a preschooler and bam! You have instant recognition and the child will follow you request.
And even if it weren't... The enormous amount of money Google/Apple/Samsung/Nokia/Microsoft/every other company spends on marketing, immediately puts this at such a disadvantage that money invested is money lost.
That's true. Didn't Larry even say say something like "I don't know what the hell cloud computing means" - shortly before Oracle actually announced any cloud stuff?

Uhhhh.... More than 30 years? Yeah, more than 5. More than 10 is also true. So is more than 50.

Absolutely right. Developers trying to do the impossible - follow the crumbs the lawyers have left.
It's certainly not the only bug in 10.9 Mail.
Watch the Mail Activity section when receiving or sending mail. I have no idea what it's counting.
When I receive two emails and it says receiving 415 and 416 of 416 I kinda get concerned.
When sending one, sending 6 of 6... again, what is it counting?
And set up a smart folder that is all Unread mail. Set it up and watch that it's not very smart... Like it really can't tract unread mail at all...

Did someone hit him for writing the longest slashdot post of the year?
You're right. It's in the bureaucracy.

This just in: 17th century physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher may have gone too far...
No, it's the "we're not making money on these, but we'll make it up in volume."
I can't imagine why anyone is so indignant about this now. It has been on-going since 1997. THAT was the time to be indignant, not 15 years in.
Evil isn't in the eye of the beholder... It's in the mind of Google.

Oh, and btw, 'does" anyone 'there know how to use 'quotation" marks?
That's true. Didn't Larry even say say something like "I don't know what the hell cloud computing means" - shortly before Oracle actually announced any cloud stuff?
Haha, yes. I'm spelling impaired. But it's much better than my peach inspediment.
No that's good. Now you'll be able to look across the isle to see who's getting the most traffic.
How the fuck is the parent offtopic?
Bullshit news story submitted and published by slashdot... News at 11.
How on earth does this take 10Gb. Are you running a motel?
What the hell do you do at home that would require a 10GbE network?
Was this inane question posed by Bennett Haselton?
You seem to have constructed the legal equivalent of the Kobayashi Maru.
I reject your scenario criteria. Just because you make it sound reasonable, doesn't mean it is.
If you disagree, perhaps ypu can answer this: Have you stopped beating your wife?
