I want to play star trek Armada on the computer that can run Final Cut Pro and Lightroom.

If it can't then it's useless to me.

(yeah, i am comparing platform dependent items ( and hard drive partitioning storage types ) here. and I have no use for Final Cut Pro and Lightroom In fact, I have no idea what Final Cut Pro and Lightroom are..)

Awesome!

This means we can build huge engines and send the earth off to explore other galaxies! Since we don't need the sun, we can keep burning the oil and in 20 or so years orbit alpha centauri !!

I knew we needed those Nukes for propulsion!

Seriously?

Managing a few variables in some order is complex? If this is actually news, I'm cringing on how low expectations of programmers have sunk.

How many hurdles will the writer of this drek jump when managing a maiden name changing to a married name?

In my databases there's just one.

Take the time to design the back end. That way you don't need to worry about the tripe posted in the article.

Sorry, It's not "online purchases" or "healthier eating" that's causing the drop in prices, it's the doubling or tripling prices for chips and soda.

Most folks who are middle class can't justify spending 4.50 on a 12-14 ounce bag of chips on their salary. Living where I do, the only ones spending that are using the link card (welfare cards for food) to get chips, pop, ice cream, and other junk foods.

The folks whining about declining sales just need to wait until more folks are on government subsistence, then the profits will creep back.

there are 500 and 1000 dollar denominations as well.

heck, there are even bigger bills too...

feel free to factor the weight...

I'd like to cut out the middle man and sell my Identity.

40 bucks buys a few cases of beer - just sayin...

Yeah, it of been much better if the widow was told that her husband held the steering wheel wrong...

If you truly work at Microsoft - tell them there are legions of people that just want a plain old desktop - and not a slick, uncluttered interface shouting "Bling".

Assure them that the apple fan boys love the slick uncluttered stuff, then go straight back to their apple stuff - they won't be switching.

Last job I worked at the apple guys LOVED win 8. They pirated it , played with it - then went right back to their apple stuff. Me, I just cringed and started looking to move to Ubuntu when XP finally dies.

Not lying.

Time how long a rerun (after it gets trimmed for more advertising) plays.

Thanx for playing..

When I was a kid, they had quality 1 hour shows that ran 52 minutes with 8 minutes of commercials.

we're down to 32 minutes of a show with 28 minutes of commercial.

If the model is dead, then mayhaps it's time to rack the slide and kill the horse.

If the cable companies or satellite companies offered service without commercials (and a la carte) I'd sign back up in a heartbeat.

I'm not paying for commercials ever again. Seriously.

be like me - refuse to rent software in the first place - Never played - never will...

If Linux can take over gaming, not only will I be on board, all the young game geeks will follow.

And no, it's not one "killer" game - I read about some penguin racing game, but that wasn't anything near to pull me over.

Steam is the most public of "saving us from the newest windows abortion that's some sort of tile thingy that refuses to work if you turn off UAC".

My fervent hope is that Steam gets all my games translated over to Ubuntu or some linux platform. Then I'll be a firm linux shill.

You have my word on that.

really? did you do the cost to home benefit and see just how long simply sharing the 2 billion to 70,000 homes would power their electrical needs for pert damn near the rest of those homes lives?

the op talked a about a 4 year old - there was no differentiation on whether that was a child four years old, or a family member with the mentality of a four year old.

From the question, I certainly hope it's the latter.
