History is full of people authority called scoundrels, but the people have loved them.

Say what you want about Windows, it still can get viruses easily, while Linux is a more secure browsing experience.
Not true. Windows cannot get viruses easily anymore. Unless you are a clueless Homer Simpson which runs every spurious BirthdayCard.exe with admin privileges, Windows is perfectly safe to use.
Windows still gets nailed easily. We run a very secure shop and some are still coming in, without the user ever browsing outside the network. While this means a worm or virus is introduced into the network from somewhere, it's sophisticated enough to find all the up-to-date machines and still infect them. We thought we were secure, again. Fact is the people who write these things are better at writing them and understanding protection behavior and circumventing it than the people fighting them.
Why do I think they ordered those parts from the most expensive sources possible?
Or it could just be the riced up hipster case.
... $9,599 which includes 64GBs of ECC DDR3 memory, a 1TB PCIe SSD, two AMD D700 (W9000) GPUs, and a twelve core Intel Xeon 2.7GHz processor.
While there is nothing really remarkable about this list of parts, it’s the way that they are integrated that provides both pros and cons. On the pro side, you have all this workstation grade hardware in a cylinder that is less than 10 inches tall and under 7 inches wide, with the power supply inside. This makes it very easy to take it on site or pack with you.
Pack with you? Because that's a concern with desktop workstations? I guess you can discount the dual monitor setup if portability is the key? Oh, right, OSX, so you basically have to bring it with you because everyone else is running a different OS and your programs aren't compatible. I don't give half a crap about the story, or I'd go to build the thing online in a tower configuration. Maybe throw in some LEDs, black-light ground effects, a custom body job with clear side panel and glitter+glue monogram too -- You know, really rice it to the next level.
I'll bet this thing just smokes. I've always aimed high when redoing my desktop, back in January I loaded up 32GB of DDR3 RAM, 6 TB RAID V, 250GB SSD for boot and OS space and a 6 core AMD CPU, which is fairly adequate. It has to be as I'll expect it to run for 5 or 6 years before I upgrade again. I built and even beastlier machine for a friend who's doing a lot of media work. It's an absolute screamer, but again, he is expecting it to be competent for the next 5 or 6 years. I build his last one and it motored along well until he decided it was time to upgrade, too. When you spend money, you don't want to do it often.
You can see mine from the Moon.
but more to the point.. mobile websites tend to suck because THEYRE FUCKING MORE COMPLEX AND HEAVIER THAN THE DESKTOP BROWSER VERSION!
I find they suck mostly because the site owner presents what THEY think you should have rather than what YOU think you should have, which are worlds apart. If they were to start in this world on their mobile version, without ever having a prior version, it would probably still suck because they aren't thinking like the user, only what they want the user to focus on. eBay is also a prime example, though their regular site is into major suckage with trying to do too effing many things.
To let me know when the burglars are coming and going.

DNA and telomere damage continues, and muscle strength does not improve. So what exactly makes this the equivalent of 20 year old's muscles? An affinity for beer and an overwhelming urge to chase women around?
Don't forget the urge to drive monster trucks.
I'm betting on a lost anchor or random pieces of cast iron from an old ship.
I'm betting it's a fragment of the House. As we have seen, it can obstruct almost anything it puts its mind to.
Isn't this just things working as they should?
When things work the way they should it's because the Chinese gummint wants to leverage something. It could be they genuinely don't want GM produce, but considering the way they are destroying and polluting their own environment wholesale, I figure they're totally good with the GM produce, but want to extract a concession somewhere, like the US opening markets to paint-thinned milk.

I'll leave it alone if you leave it alone.
But I'll prepare to pillage the lunar resources, just in case you make a move.

He has Google, FaceBook and Twitter on his list. In those three cases the product is You.

These successors have only made scads of money off ideas from real pioneers.
Sure, but what were its competitors doing that changed the User Experience for the better?
Screwing up so bad they made Apple look amazingly good.
Why did the NYT let a report called 'Walt Mossberg' write newb-level electronics reviews, rather than pushing him in the direction of being a hard hitting, hard drinking, crime-beat reporter with a tolerance for risk and a taste for vigilante justice?
It seems like such a waste...
Only in comics, man, only in the comics. Real world reporters on crime-beat tend to blame society now, it's the PC thing to do.
Rupert Murdoch found out that Mossberg voted for Obama.
His successor will have been a *cough* former *cough* employee of Microsoft, Apple or someone else you "can" trust.
