Also this article is stating the $900 million write-off is for RT tablets, not the Surface Pro which has sold fine.

The typical equivocating response. A desktop OS poses completely different hurdles than "hurr-durr smart phone I just upgraded"

Eye. Fucking. Roll. Wearing a tinhat actually doesn't help you know.

Because 70% of the US market of XBox360 owners don't use xbox live or complain about latency issues. Your idea of a non starter seems rather flawed.

He's amazing artist, and I can't think of another like him. He has such a mastery of light, the sheer feeling of bewilderment his art will impart on you is worth it. It's worth learning about his art, and trying to experience what you can, and it's worth donating to Roden Crater to see it finished. Obviously we all can't do that, maybe he should start a kickstarter :)

I was thinking of C-beams.

Actually, it doesn't seem like you understand that small farmers still often use antibiotics in animals, but not to make them huge, to make them healthier and safer to eat (have you heard of trichinosis?). Not that there isn't health risks yadda yadda

Why not just call it corn?

Public access websites are different than a corporation's internal network, and should be held to higher security standards due to their visibility and fallout if they do get hacked. After working in IT departments at a few companies I have the feeling that the majority of companies have little to no security prevention, they just expect that nobody will be interesting in hacking their databases. It is so much more profitable to sell data to the Chinese.

I'm dumb, in that a lot of people are already talking the possibility of tachyonic neutrinos. But remember, the existence neutrino oscillations of generation necessitate that at least one neutrino must have non-zero mass. I think the oscillations and these new results will be reconciled as effects of the same (new) physics.

Geez. Look up Tachyons. They are a theoretical massive particle traveling faster than the speed of light which is totally consistent with all theories of relativity. So basically everyone who talks as if it invalidates anything are just speaking talking points they read somewhere. You need to see the speed of light limit is valid for both sides. Relativity posits subluminal particles can never move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, and superluminal particles can never move slower than the speed of light in a vacuum. Get yo shit straight!

oh god terrible mistke 100- instead of 1- ; trash thissss

I don't know how you messed up the math when you made that post: when i read the op it didn't look right so i did 100-3.5/365 and the uptime for twitter was 99.990%, similarly for xanga and imeem their uptime (100-1/(6*365)) was 99.999% (nerd fact: i then tried it in units of hours not days and if you round the 4th significant digit 100% is more accurate than 99.999%).

a reliable source told me that this 11 year old discovered an alternative proof for the least upper bound theorem on an etch-a-sketch and then shook it away because he thinks modesty is a virtue.
