If you are using BitLocker then you want your data to be secure. There are probably ways that a compromised boot loader can allow an attacker access to your data. Vista closes this security hole by requiring the boot loader to be a cryptographically signed binary that it trusts. If it didn't, this story would instead be "Vista BitLocker encryption not secure on dual boot systems".
That being said, there should be a way to register other trusted signature keys in Vista to allow 3rd party boot loaders. I don't know if there is or not, but there should be.
Tsunami - A tsunami is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced. Seiche - A seiche is a standing wave in an enclosed or partially enclosed body of water.
This was a moving wave caused by displacment from a landslide. I think it falls closer to the tsunami definition.
Except that Microsoft's mission statment is something like "help people and businesses achieve their full potential." Ignoring people in economically depressed areas because they don't have enough money would seem to be in direct conflict with that mission statement.
Traditionally, three times annual income is considered a good guideline for affordability. At $100k that puts you into a $300k house -- maybe $350k if you stretch. 3x is the max though.
If you bought a $250k house on a $100k salary then I would say that you were being financially responsible.
One of my friends just moved to Seattle from Pittsburg. He moved there from Austin. He said the infrastructure there is crumbling. He grew up there and had been excited to move back, but after two years he was eager to get out again.
Take a look for yourself. Seattle prices have fallen around 6% from one year ago. The median is still well above $400k. Prices within 30 minutes of Microsoft cost anywhere from $300-800/sqft.
PM = Project Manager. It is an engineer whose job is to understand what customers need and write the product specifications to meet those needs. But they don't have anymore authority than the SDE's (software development engineers). There is back and forth communication between PM's and SDE's (software development engineers) on the specification.
I theorize that the processed that built up the RNA/DNA/tRNA/etc systems were highly optimized in their developmental stages. This new base pair is certainly less efficient than what we have. Any lifeforms that depend on it will likely be less stable than natural life. This could be a good thing. It could prevent then from outcompeting native lifeforms.
The use of four base sequences probably optimizes the generation complexity to the coding/mainentance complexity. Six or eight base sequences are probably less energy efficient or less stable or something.
Although that might be a good approach for making new life forms that don't escape and outcompete native lifeforms.
If you observe (x,y) as [(1,2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8)] then you might build a model that says y = 2x.
The more data you gather that fits your model the more confidence you gain in your model. The model allows you to work with data that you haven't seen.
But models can be wrong. In fact, they often are. They are approximations of the real world. What Google is doing is observing lots and lots of data and not making a model out of it. Their 'model' is the raw data and instead of 'compressing' it into a mathematical equation they just store it and work with the raw data.
You no longer need model hypothesis. Since you don't have any hypothesis you don't have to test anything. You don't do the scientific method. Instead you just observe.
There has been plans of creating interferometry telescopes that consist of multiple space craft separated by miles that use magnetic fields to adjust the disance between the spacecraft to focus the telescope.
Windows Home Server lets you hook up any number of heterogeneous drives and it treats them all as one logical partition and automatically does backup between them.

The best way to encourage continued behavior of this type is to buy our products.
I mean, their products.
Did I say "our"?
Oh, great. Now when he disappears his little "bout of madness" will be confirmed as reality. Now we can't touch him. Tentacle recalled.

The really sad thing about this whole scheme is that six fingers is a dominant gene in humans. We were so close.
C# was trivia to pick up with a C/C++/Java/Lisp background.
You also get to use it on three computers for $70/year.

"The only way that would be possible is if the wages were equal to what you would see in NY, Chicago, or LA."
They could be an irrational percentage that is unrepresetable with by a/b where a and b are integers.
Unless 1/Pi is considered to be a fraction.

A 1400 sqft house 45-minutes from campus is asking around $320k today..
Although they might be overpriced based on recent sales in the same area. This 1600 sqft house sold in April for $288k..

Here is a pretty typical middle class home:
http://www.redfin.com/WA/Redmond/7014-143rd-Pl-NE-98052/home/517209
I would have once classified that as lower middle class, but now that is more upper middle class.
Short answer is that it makes no sense to stretch to buy something like that when I can rent for less than half the expense.
That sounds more like a PUM or GM.

You can? Where do you work in Seattle? And what kind of engineer are you?
$100k/year doesn't get you into a house within a 30 minute drive of Microsoft's main campus.
I agree that Austin beats Seattle hands down.

We need lichen that can feed on water that is in the form of ice.
Models are a way of compressing data.

Someone else touched on your attitude. Once we understand some aspect of AI we stop calling it AI.
