So are you saying your unique password was revealed along with your username? For curiosity sake, was it a strong password, or something an enhanced dictionary could attack?

I am so not using your coffee machine.

You forgot to qualify what makes a watch great (it's not the mechanics or the features just in case you're wondering). Watches are great because of the style, and the limited availability.

People who collect watches, those are the guys with serious money. Most (real) Swiss watches cost more than limited edition top end luxury cars. Even the crappier Japanese and American watches begin at 4 figures and move up from there.

A watch is a fashion statement. Not a toy.

Now, sports watches are a different story. But those are specific-purpose watches, worn for very specific occasions. Nobody's going to go to a black tie party with a sports watch. Hell, nobody over the age of 10 is going to wear one of them while wearing anything fancier than a sweaty t-shirt and shorts.

The wearable electronics fad is never going to take off using watches as the core. It'd be more practical to focus on electronic headbands. Now glasses, there's something there. But electronics in glasses are off-putting to society for a variety of reasons, and Google really didn't help the situation by being the first one to it.

Especially since courts nowadays interpret "eventually" and "limited" as "forever - 1 day".

And then you have the mods that may or may not violate other people's IP (pixelmon mod anybody?).

Microsoft would shut those things down right away. Hell, they'd shut down any mod attempts and the whole mod API project in general.

It'd be the death of the game. And since nobody's got patents on the game, there'll definitely be clones coming out to eat away at the mindshare itself. But man, what a way to go. That $2B better be in cash, Notch. Don't get fooled by offers in shares.

Active Directory. For that, there is no competition.

You're mixing the three branches of the Feds with the "government." The government is everything from your DMV clerk to the NSA analyst who wrote the software that's automatically reading and categorizing this.

Once, the program somehow found itself in an infinite loop and had to be killed with -9. This despite it having been proved terminating.

Microsoft Bib. Bob for the Internet.

That only works if you either 1) have a test system you can test patches on or 2) turn off automatic updates. Either way, you need to be savvier than your average Windows user.

Fortunately, the big corps that give Microsoft the majority of its sales tend to have sufficiently capable tech teams. It's the small businesses that really lose (the personal/home users can mostly hit the reboot button or hold the power button down for 5 seconds or whatever passes for a hard reset these days).

My pet rock says otherwise, you insensitive clod!

When there are poor or no lane markers, especially when there's no double yellow in a two-lane, two-way local highway. Or when construction's shifted the lanes away from their original positions and the old lane markers haven't been erased so cleanly. Or when there are periodic potholes the size of half-basketballs in the most-used tire lanes (tire lanes being the path your car's tires take). Or when the lane is both narrow with inches to spare on either side, and shifts suddenly, and there's a H2 up ahead in the other lane going at half the speed limit. Or when a 45MPH highway has a sudden 20MPH curve, and the lanes are narrow to boot.

This kind of autonomous driving may work when both road and weather conditions are ideal, but something a little smarter would be necessary for even slightly harsher situations. In the extreme case, a lot of driving under extremely limited visibility is basically a high-stakes game of follow the leader. Essentially, it's not enough to be able to perceive the environment; driving under those conditions requires perceiving the actions of other like actors (and relying on the assumption that those actors are sane).

The editors aren't even trying anymore.

No, they're just going put him through the millimeter wave scanner and then claim that it cures ebola afterwards.

They didn't include property in the Declaration because they were seizing the assets of British sympathizers (Tories) at that very time.

The hypocrisy in the government goes way back.
