Microsoft's motives are obvious. Other nations are adopting open-source, because nothing is hidden, and Microsoft is saying "me too." Microsoft is just trying to stop other countries from adopting open source.
Problem is: as soon as you start trusting Microsoft, Microsoft will pull the 'ol switcheroo. Then once Microsoft has you vendor-locked: it's problem solved - for Microsoft.
Microsoft's basic strategy has been the same for decades. Anybody who trusts Microsoft at this point is an ignorant fool.
Very good point. It used to take six months. Also, a TS lasted for five years, now, I think, it only lasts for two.
Just more massive government inefficiency.
Or having your hands/feet/head cut off. Or being sentenced to 100 lashes. Or being blown up in a terrorist attack.
As Saudi attacks on infidels go, this seems fairly mild.
And that was over ten years ago.
Ward is the jackass who compared the 9/11 victims to Nazis, shortly after 9/11.
Really, $140K a year to teach that kind of crap, and those coddled ivory tower bozos are still crying poverty?
*sigh* that's a Suzuki DL-650 Vstrom, not a Honda. The new one does get about 60mpg, my 2009 only about 55.
I agree with those that say that, unfortunately, this is not going to be a successful bike. I really like the idea of an electric motorcycle, but it should come from a company that does exactly that. H-D fans aren't going to want it, and the insane high price that they will charge for the nameplate will keep others from buying it. I'd love a 60 mile-range electric bike that cost $10,000. I'd buy it tomorrow, but this isn't that.
The hard crashed right after it was discovered that the IRS was involved in a partisan scam. Perfect timing.
And this from an administration so well known for it's cover-ups - like the Benghazi cover-up.
If this is what the government claims, then it must be true. We never get anything but 100% truth from our government, right?
I heard so much about Linux, and how it blew Windows away, in terms of performance.
At the time, Windows 1995 ran acceptably well on a 386. Linux, with Gnome, was so slow, I could practically count the pixels as they appeared on my screen.
These days, I use Linux, nearly exclusively. On modern hardware, I think Linux does just fine. But on 1990s era hardware, not so much.
Yes, one can often patent a drug for a new purpose. You probably can't charge $1,000/dose for a repurposing, but it can be done.
The absolutely shocking prevalence of autism today (currently estimated at 1 in 68 births, probably 1 in 40 boys) will make any drug that has a good effect profitable.
As the parent of an autistic teenager, I'm hoping for the best. It does appear that, like Tolstoy said, all autistic kids are autistic in their own way; so I'm not holding out a lot of hope. Some, though...
Certainly you would not make such a series of scathing allegations without solid proof.
Would you?
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
