I thought the same thing after watching: http://youtu.be/urglg3WimHA

You joke, but I know there's been lots of talk about releasing excess Carbon into the environment. (see: Melting Icecaps, Rising Waters, Cats and Dogs Living Together, etc.)

I wonder if these blooms aren't a counterpoint to something like that (a theoretical carbon sink?).

To this day I have the schematic for an apple 1, but I just can't quite bring myself to attempt it. Plus the fact that a lot of the IC's don't exist anymore could lead to some real headaches. Still, I think it would be a good adventure in learning how to fabricate digital equipment.

I was thinking that too, but just decided to get a newer model and let someone else put it together.

They even threw in a BIOS, OS, Drivers, Utility software and Apps!

since he said "it slows down when cornering" it could be that a sensor detects the centripetal force of the cornering?

Google has lots of offices in places outside the Valley (famously buying a building or two in New York for instance), as do a number of other companies mentioned above.

Is the article just targeting the Silicon Valley office population, or referring to the company workforce as a whole and already taking those other offices into account?

I would hope its mostly disparity of education and experience.

You don't understand the issue. There will be new conflicts arise continuously, It's just what people in that part of the world do. You are thinking of the Isreal -Palestinian conflict. Don't forget Isreal-Egypt, Isreal-Lebanon, Iraq-Iran, Iraq versus the Kurds Arab-Isreal, Lebanese CIvil war, and many many more

They all like to fight and kill each other, different actors, same results. Neverending war.

There are things the rest of the world can do something about, and things they can't, Sadly, the rest of the world has not known how to tell the difference.

It's a shame and a travesty. But it's just how things are. There will not be peace in that part of the world, and there never will be.

Yeah, its a pity there can never be peace in the region:

You may as well say that Hamas shouldn't set up missiles anywhere, because invariably any blow back will guarantee human fatalities. Just submit nicely and live in your holes while your friendly neighbourhood rulers do the same.

Hell no, they should shoot them into Egypt also, and demand a portion of the Sinai Peninsula as an extension to their homeland.

The people who run OKC were a bunch of statistics nerds. It runs (ran, anyway) on a custom web server that performs a lot of real time analysis. Their blog is chock full of incredibly detailed information about their users. This shouldn't be news to anyone who has even the slightest clue as to how OKCupid actually works.

You meant ARM vs Everthing else

Shhhh ... they might not know we're playing the Long Game.

The special magic thing is to hit the Windows key + X. That brings up a menu that has pretty much everything you'd want to do from a start menu. Win + X also works on desktop Windows 8.x.

The hilarious thing to me is that the Windows 8/Server 2012 line is ironically the most keyboard centric version of Windows I've used, but all people want to do is bitch about the Modern (Tile) interface that you can completely, totally ignore if you're on something that has a real keyboard and mouse.

Also, Windows RT? It's not awful. Printing and scanning work great and they have real USB and storage support. Surfaces ship with Office pre-installed. RT is missing a lot of media consumption tools that are present on other mobile OSes, but as a device for doing work they're credible. I'd rather have an RT-based Surface than anything that runs iOS, though I'd prefer a good quality Android device to either.

Considering that the high price of diamonds is a combination of the De Beers monopoly together with their massive PR campaigns to a) make people use diamonds as formal symbols of affection and b) to make people unwilling to sell them second-hand once they've been owned, they should be worried. On the other hand, this is 900 light years away, so maybe they'll just lobby against any research into FTL travel.

An acquaintance of mine is a senior guy in Chicago's IRS office. He does large corporate audits, which means he's sitting across from guys in $2000 suits all day. The laptop he was carrying until late 2012 had a Windows 2000 license sticker on it and his "new" government-issued laptop is an HP that was manufactured in 2004. These guys really do make more with less and I have no trouble believing that the equipment Lerner was using was painfully obsolete and used until it died.

Agreed that it's not in the summary, but as you correctly note, it's just a "summary". Anyone who reads the underlying blog post will read this among the facts on which the court based its opinion: "The public was allowed to search by keyword. The search results showed only the page numbers for the search term and the number of times it appeared; none of the text was visible."

So those readers who RTFA will be in the know.
