Could be worse. I'm surprised it's not "Hey Microsoft Cortana Tee Em..."

I mean, if these companies are going to make you feel like an idiot they may as well do a bit of marketing while they're at it.

All civilizations eventually fall. The Egyptians are one of the first we know about, then the Greeks, the Romans, the Persians... be America's turn soon, the votes are soon to be counted in fact.

You're obviously very easily baffled.

Idiot. They're rising, it's obvious in places like Tuvalu. But the rise is slow - it'll never reach 10 feet any time soon, it's only risen one foot in the last century. But it's got a lot warmer, and that's the real problem. You did read the article, didn't you? Oh no: of course you didn't, you just leapt to make an ignorant comment based on your own stupid belief system. Business as usual, in other words. You should run for office.

The Official Secrets Act still exists, and people still sign it. The fact that you thought it was some relic of WW2 proves that it's still effective - because people are NOT blabbing about their work or posting images of their equipment. For one thing, anyone who's invited to sign it has probably already been vetted and proven to be not that kind of person, and second, if they ever did do something of the sort, you can bet they'd be out of a job within less than 12 hours, at the very least, and most likely on a charge of some sort.

Please ignore the movies. There are many excellent books about the work of Bletchley Park, and while I can't claim to have read the majority of them, the ones I have read do acknowledge the Polish debt, and it's pretty clear that the personnel of Bletchley were extremely grateful for the head-start.

A good book for example is "The Secret Life of Bletchley Park" by Sinclair McKay

It's also a good argument for the continued use and existence of header files. Many languages are doing away with them, making the implementation effectively the declaration. That trend will make cases like this harder to argue in the future.

Certainly as embarrassing as your grammar.

He added, "We carried out this plan in 1013 with Facebook"

FTFY.

I had a Doom port running on a Canon G3 camera, around 2003. I don't know who wrote that port, but it was a very cool demo of how powerful cameras had become by that point.

I'm starting to get the feeling, or at least a slight suspicion anyway, that Windows isn't a very good quality operating system. Anyone else noticed that?

Not just Macbooks but iMacs. I have a mid-2010 iMac which is still a useful and usable machine, but since updating to 10.11.4, it sometimes just goes into a hung state when waking up, showing the spinning pizza indefinitely in the login screen (I have it set to require login on wake). Requires a hard power-switch shutdown and reboot to unstick it. Happening about once every three or four days since the OS update.

This happened to me last week. I wasn't streaming or anything, but I was playing Dirt Rally. It was an online stage, which you only get one shot at per day. 30 seconds in, W10 decides it needs to do some upgrading right then, so it collapses my game into a window, throws crap all over the screen and forces a restart. Afterwards, due to Dirt Rally policy of disallowing a stage restart if the game is exited mid-stage, I was unable to have another shot at it. In the overall scheme of things it matters very little, but I was absolutely blown away by the sheer chutzpah of the OS doing that.

I'm a Mac guy, and only use W10 to run this game - it's nothing but a launcher as far as I'm concerned. Macs may be many things (and a great gaming platform isn't one of them, hence I have a PC for that), but I can't imagine a Mac ever doing something this obnoxious. If they ever do, that's the end of me upgrading for sure.

If anyone knows how I can disable this I'm all ears. I have everything else disabled that I can see - location, Cortana, etc, etc, but it STILL thinks it knows better.

I'm just amazed there's such a thing as a "sex in moving cars expert".

last time I was in Vegas I was given "promotional" literature advertising that I could get a happy ending limo back to the airport

Since that's a very short ride, I imagine they'll be driving round and round the block. Just another way to inflate the charges, really.
