164k a year... and she's complaining about not being paid enough?
I'm gonna go throw my panties at a band who deserves it!

Now, if we can only figure out how to clone Freddie Mercury...

He's like a real life Samuel L Jackson character.

"Yeah, Linus! As in, father of FOSS? Mt. Linux? Don't f*ck with me or I'll shove a penguin up your ass! LINUS!"

When notepad gets a ribbon -- that's when I start to have deep concern for Microsoft's design choices.

How is alt-f4 an 'archaic fail'...? From windows 3.1 all the way up to windows 8, you can control everything/anything, keyboard only; fairly impressive from a design standpoint. Few other GUI based OSes can claim this long standing keyboard only functionality. You forget that circa windows 3.1 there weren't standardized input/mouse drivers, it was often a requirement to know how to operate the OS entirely from a select set of standardized keyboard types. If you were lucky enough to learn windows 3.1 using a keyboard, you should be thankful that they haven't changed the shortcuts almost 20 years later.

Economic situations have a far FAR greater affect on divorce rates than twit-face ever will. Tons of studies available. End of thread.

Your YouTube argument is totally flawed...

Remember, this is the same site that shows ADS before the TRAILER -- I wouldn't exactly say they have their priorities in order for box office revenue (or for any of their advertisers for that matter).

Cool that they've added additional security; but doubling the balance of the 'average' account? Sounds completely unlikely.

I've had privilege to see large amounts of transaction data from where the law of large numbers reigns supreme. The 99%ers, keep a very low to no balance, generally breaking even each month. Its insanity to look at the actual trends.

So when a bank opens a product that magically doubles the deposits, clearly they're either marketing either to a different segment, or the additional security means it costs more to keep that account, therefor the natural response is to keep a higher balance, often to avoid paying fees.

While the security aspect is notable (FYI already in R&D at many banks with fingerprint scanners becoming ubiquitous); the whole 'double their deposit' notion sounds wholly unlikely.

Worthy response. I work inside the Microsoft ecosystem. But also know about many, many other languages. From Fortran and LUA to JAVA, Objective-C.
C# is an ISO standard. The parent clearly doesn't know the difference between standards and Microsoft products.
Bad programmers develop this way of thinking when you only know or care to know PHP/Java.

What I want is "Tea. Earl Grey... Hot"

"Bentham felt the Panopticon could make humanity more virtuous, more hard-working and happier"

Where in the world did this guy get THAT idea from Bentham's works? The Panopticon was an invention for prisons and used today in that capacity. Almost all prisons and jails have been modeled off of it.

Hard working? Happier? I don't think so. Try subordinate and loss of all humanity.

FTFY.

Wait a minute... Isn't 'CamelCase', really "camelCase" as in the hump is in the middle (with the first word always lowercase)? I was taught that what the author is describing is 'Pascal Case' -- where each word begins with a cap.

The problem is not with 24-bit/192kHz music downloads. The problem is some idiot is touting them "as being of 'uncompromised studio quality'". Who said they're even close to lossless...?

You'd be correct if the person who was bullied didn't commit suicide. You cannot simply justify a crime by taking it (the invasion of privacy) completely out of context. Sure, invasion of privacy -- say posting a youtube video of someone having sex with an ugly girl without permission -- is against the law. Does it deserve a ten year prison sentence? Of course not.
In comparison, if that same victim commits suicide because someone posted the encounter on youtube -- it absolutely merits a severe prison sentence for the perpetrator.

Context is important. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be hate crimes, just crimes.
