What? Of course time isn't man-made. Why would you say only man cares about time? I'm pretty sure plants and animals are also happily perceiving the passage of time.

Why was 90+ million dollars budgeted for the development of one freaking website?
There are over 970 000 registered users on Drupal.org. If only 0.5% of them would donate $22.2 (0.5% of the average monthly salary of US programmer) each month, we would raise $1.3M every year which equals 24.3 full time developers.
But if 1% of us would donate 1% of our salary each month, we would rise $5.1M - enough to feed 96.2 full time developers. And if we add the money that companies, from small to enterprise level donate for Drupal development each year, these numbers could be even higher.
Wow. That is delusional like you don't often see. Why would 1% of the registered users donate 1% of their salary all of a sudden? They should be happy if they raise 1% of that.
Yeah, don't get it either. Best Zelda they ever did was on the N64. And Mario 64 kicks ass too. N64 rocks.

Especially true if you owned a Neo Geo.
Your pretty dumb.
God I love this line. I can't stop laughing.
GTA was originally a PC game and they have been treating PC as a second class citizen lately.
If by "lately" you mean "since 1999", then I suppose you're right. GTA hasn't been a PC game for a looooong time.
What do you mean "never"? How did you connect to the internet in the '80s and '90s if you didn't use dial-up?
Silver medal is actually for beating the Turing test (which of course has never happened and won't happen anytime soon). Gold medal is awarded for passing the Turing test based on more than just text input (talking with the bot, showing the bot stuff etc.).
Apple changed the way this data was stored, only stored current information (instead of a complete history), made it possible to encrypt the data and also added an option to disable it altogether. So yeah, a lot did change after this was exposed.
People will absolutely find out if their prints are indeed uploaded or stored on their device. Apple knows this, they've learned it the hard way when someone found out about the storing of geo-data and made an app to show the travel log of any iPhone user a few years ago.
I don't think Apple would make these claims (without anyone asking no less) if they weren't true. If they were storing this data, they would have been quiet about it, don't you think?
Now, with almost 50% better battery life as promised by Intel for Windows tablets, the OEMs have no real need to come out with Windows RT based tablets and hybrids anymore.
Which OEMs would that be? Acer was already out, as are Samsung and ASUS. Does Dell still sell Windows RT products?
And then find out you can't use a single website because Firefox 3.6 doesn't support HTML5 and its Javascript engine is too slow to do anything useful.
are you are saying that a tablet form is not useful, and it must have the baggage of a KB and mouse to be so?
No, I'm saying the exact opposite. If a tablet needs that baggage, then the tablet will fail. Like the Surface really needs the TouchCover to be useful, thus it fails as a tablet. The iPad and Android tablets are winning because they don't need anything extra in order to be useful.
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. -- James F. Byrnes
