Captain cloud services is now CEO of MS and they were already headed down the wrong path. So get ready for a cell phone and Xbox-live level of ongoing nickel and diming. Buy it and forget it? HELL NO! That died with Windows 7. And then 6 months later, Linux will explode and MS will make half the stuff they tried to charge for free (see Windows 8.1 patch, lol).

Let me break this down. My company is small because Microsoft charges me way the hell too much for Windows licenses on my custom-built computers. I can't compete with the $45 or so license cost given to Dell, which is given to them because they're big. So I stay small because Microsoft is keeping me small by charging me unfairly. My additional income from licenses I buy from them lets them get big enough that they can pay less in taxes so I in turn have to pay more in taxes at my US business because I can't afford to operate it out of a foreign country because they're purposely keeping me small with the price difference excuse of the fact that I'm not big. Thanks, assholes.

So in other words....you're holding it wrong :D And it's not a troll article if they purposely tilted it like 1 degree and only have shots from 1 side on their entire website. That's obviously on purpose and dishonest.

Why don't they just take a balloon? Don't those go high enough? It worked for that Felix guy.

If you throw them at the undead, you get a +10 radiant damage bonus too.

Let's test that. What's the weather like? Let me check my Windows. Hold on, I have to call someone on my Windows. She just texted my Windows. My Windows is ringing.
That works great.

Because they want to build their own to prove their amazing Chinese quality standards and engineering skills. In other words, it's going to fall out of the sky. Their 100 billion dollar train or whatever is a cheap Chinese crap engineering disaster. Some of their dams are cheap Chinese crap disasters. I think it's more likely for Nigeria to launch a properly working space station than China.

Academic achievement? You've got to be kidding me. Let's see, there's difference between schools, crooked grading, not so smart students trying harder, cultural upbringing, etc. At least use IQ if not something more direct like the average voltage of a person's nervous system. It's theorized that smart people's nerves operate at a higher voltage.

Finally, some truth. Did you know that salt isn't bad for you if you're not fat? Because you were probably taught the opposite. Although this article itself is wrong. Salt does not raise blood pressure. The amount of water you drink after eating salt raises your blood pressure. It's only like a couple hour thing though. 24 hours max.

The moral of the story is if you own some crappy little island right next to the US and you have crap for local resources, don't ally with some broke ass country like Russia.

"Astronomers can calculate quite accurately how much lithium they expect to find in the early Universe"
This is getting old. Even on Star Trek they can't detect things that far away. How the hell do we know how much lithium is under a planet's crust with no light bouncing off of it and it's millions of lightyears away? In fact, their used their magical light frequency technique on one of the moons in our own solar system and then found out a few months ago they were drastically wrong about its chemical composition. But I'm sure they can count lithium atoms from a million lightyears in a billion star systems perfectly accurately.

Stop hiring idiots to do smart people jobs like comment on things in front of 50 million people! These are the same idiots that call Firefox Foxfire, CCleaner CC Cleaner, and their router their modem, their tower their hard drive, and their iphone and ipod.

In case you haven't stopped by Newegg lately, look at the reviews for all 1TB drives. It's like 95% positive. Look at the reviews for any model 2TB drive from any manufacturer. Across the board they're HORRIBLE! It makes it seem like the DoA numbers are between 50% and 75%. Some people said they ordered 2, got them both DoA, then got 1 DoA out of the two replacements. Tons of other people claim that they failed within 3 months. Now look at the 3Tb and 4TB drives. Horrible again!

So apparently after making 1TB drives, Seagate and WD forgot how to make hard drives. I wouldn't buy one of these 8TB or 10TB drives for any reason because I expect the exact same thing to happen to them.

What we REALLY need is to source the vehicles' electricity from a renewable power source. Otherwise you're just burning the fuel 10 miles down the road and buying an overpriced car or bus.

"but also a 2-year contract with (exclusive carrier) AT&T." Wow, what a deal! I think I'd actually rather rip out all my teeth one at a time though.
