Fuck this shit. I'm still playing Super Mario on my 8-bit Nintendo!

It's reasons like this I refuse to install any closed source binaries - besides the inbound and outbound firewall...

I think that it's not the regular water use that's the problem, but the *misuse* - mainly manual underground water extraction...
Normally, water that has come to the ocean will eventually return to the ground in the form of rain, rivers will be full, etc...
Manually extracted water could not be returned that easily to the source. I'm not aware of the way that rivers are formed, or if/how they refill but this doesn't seem to be the problem in this case.
And, uhm, yes. The ocean level is rising since I remember. Deal with it.

So, M$ are urging people to order, respectively buy Win7's 'till 1st of July, so they can release Win8 in August...
Nice!

Twitter has filed the patent, but it's still not granted.
We'll see about this patent trolling in the near future, but my 2 cents are that Twitter will, sooner or later, start trolling around. Though I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

It was clear that RIM doesn't go well after Halliburton ditched BlackBerries for iOS.
From my point of view, I won't miss them at all.

Well then, this gives one the opportunity to DDoS either URL shorteners or MSN servers. Imagine a 1,000,000+ shortened URLs within 5 minutes - make a HEAD request for each, now that's a flood!

So they block URLs, marking them as spam. Use a URL shortener, like t.co / bit.ly / what.ever, so you can bypass the scheme.

How about libpeas, or something like that?
At the moment GNOME provides extending with Python, JavaScript and C via some FFI magic stuff...
I'm sure they can make something like that *if* they really decide to do it...

Yeah, Chrome attempts to bring ActiveX back!
I just wonder when will M$ get consumed by Google and they turn "evil".

I don't know if she survives, yet I was born ~25 days prematurely.
It's still very impressive, though.

And, of course, this will slow down the compiler at least twice, maybe even more.
C++ is good, but C is best. Ever wondered why the kernel is written in C (with lots of assembly spices), not C++?
