It is now 2 years, 11 months, 21 days, Before Apocalypse.
That's how I count from now on!

But now it's too late, my plan worked perfectly five years ago!!
Download linux, try it in a VM or as a secondary boot option, play with it, install it for "real", spend 3 days configuring it via cryptic forums instructions and HOWTOs, love it, make it first boot option, have fun with it for a couple of days, problems start appearing (wmv videos won't play etc.), start going back to Windows/MacOS from time to time, try to get file system sharing to work correctly, spend couple of days trying to make games work in Wine without much success, find out you spend more and more time on your other OS, put back other OS as first boot option, never think about Linux for a while. Login from time to time to your Linux disto to see if there are update and to remember the "good old days". Wipe out the partition because you need space/change HD.
Then some time later a new article/disto flavor get me exited about Linux again. Rinse & Repeat.
So yeah, I downloaded the OS actually quite a few times in my life!
I must say that I described my experience as a typical amateur user. At some point in my career I *did* did have to work in a strictly Unix-like environment, and I happily and productively kept a Linux disto as my first OS for about 6 months straight.
I'm eager to see how this trial's decisions will impact the trial against the LHC physicists team in a few months for causing rapid gravitational earth implosion. At 9M$ for a few km of earth, this could get quite expensive!
The license agreement says you are only allowed to use their BBQ sauce on Microsoft approved pizzas. And before you know, these pizzas will be degraded.
I'd say any pizza with BBQ sauce on it is already pretty much degraded!
I'd go for baconnaise instead!
Some days/weeks ago they implemented a totally white background that fades-in when you move the mouse
What freaks me out about this is that I no longer see if I'm "signed-in" on Google or not (because I use gmail). I really, really don't like having my searches directly associated with my gmail account (having a signed-in account for searches bound to your mail account is the most evil/brilliant idea in decades! I don't understand how people can side with Google on this one!)
Even if I don't check "stay signed-in" when using Gmail I'm still signed-in in Google when I open it with a different browser in Firefox. I guess if I close all my browsers and then go back it will work (cannot test because I'm currently writing this). Is there a setting to stop this madness? I never verify that I have no gmail account opened somewhere in the background
Even though they can probably make all the associations with my real identity and my searches without displaying explicitly that I'm logged-in... it's kindof scary. Like when the ATM machines greet you by name once you enter your card
Give the slide author a break. He was probably one of those kids who were forbidden **by LAW** to be taught English in school before the 4th Grade.
That's bill 101 and the separatist PQ for you.
Please mod the above down, the first part is entirely false, the rest is simply xenophobic or whatever you wanna call it.
Yes, there is a law that incites non-english immigrant people to choose a french primary school since Quebec primary language is french.
Nobody prevents anyone to learn english, and there are of course english courses in primary school.
Sorry but
At age 8 you can tell them a concept and they'll want to learn more
What kind of age-range is that?
I think the tool is not being sold to people wanting to crack into a WiFi network, rather selling to people so that they can test their WiFi network.

Man, moderators, please, vote this guy underrated. Just because he is a coward doesn't mean he's a troll.
He's not a troll, he is just missing the point.
Yeah, as a general rule stay away from the law because:
time + money + possibility of judicial error + personal attacks on image etc. > satisfaction/reward (usually)
But the Danish hacker is trying to make a statement here.
I mean
If you need time-critical efficiency in your web app, I suggest you make your front-end in a high-level framework to do the pretty printing and then delegate the CPU-intensive requests to some back-end server written in highly-optimized C.
The truth is web-servers are usually mostly CPU-idling, the real clog is in the I/O. There's no "vertical scaling" goal to reach here by making the code more efficient. You need to buy monster hardware.
This is a potential problem for happy Linux users
Are they happy from using Linux or from using Gizmo5 on Linux?
Are they happy and satisfied using the current version of the software(i.e. Google still distributes and maintains it but no longer develops it), or are they dying to get new features?
Are they just overall optimistic and enthusiasts in life?
Are they mixing up in their mind the state of true happiness and that of being dumbly entertained?
And most importantly, are they genuinely happy, or is deep down in their heart some old dreams of passion & revenge getting colder and colder
