The details of the deal were not disclosed. Is the MicroSoft stand going to draw customers to BestBuy, or the other way around? Is it a synergistic cross pollination that will better service consumer desire?

It appears MicroSoft now have to sublet the non-Apple section of the Best Buy computer department. That and a bunch of PR drivel.

Away from the maddening crowds.

What if these yoof do not give a rats ass? Rebellious passion is for defending something you value. If your only interest in an organization is a cheque, why get ruffled about idiotic bureaucrats? Disconnected is not the same thing as domesticated. They are the product of corporate culture; undifferentiated tissue for 7.5 hours, 5 days a week.

There is a subversive sensibility in embracing the idiocy of untrustworthy management. At least it makes for a great laugh over beers with people you do not work with.

In Canada (75%), France (89%) and Norway (100%), at least, that is not true.
EVs in Canada are rare, and outside of high quality outdoor gear store parking lots, supporting infrastructure is almost non existent.
That will not change without stopping the subsidy to the gasoline industry.

This is not a trustworthy company. They have combined the strategies of litigation trolls, lobbies, NRA and pharmaceuticals to ensure the success of their mobile cattle prod technology.

I doubt very much that their proposed device would benefit anybody but the least deserving. It is not their nature.

With EVs, a reduction in the pollution from generating electricity is instantly realized. If we wait until we have zero emission generation everywhere, we will never get there. Although I suppose some industrial sectors are perfectly happy with that!
It isn't like time is on our side in this, and there is a lot of resistance in place. Sadly, we the taxpayers, have subsidized the resistance more than the current...

Who would want to drive a hummer? It is a trailer trash Cadillac.
Second, you might want to check your facts. There was an advert-disguised-as-study a few years ago claiming something like this. It was BS.
Third non radioactive rare-earths are actually plentiful. It is like conservatives who aren't particularly conservative. Don't know why, maybe they just like the name.
Ps
A hummer will burn about 1300kg more gasoline per year than a prius. A prius weighs about 1300 kg.

A cringing shock of recognition perhaps? It is uncomfortable to be faced with a faux pas you could have made, but for the grace of some external influence. A spouse with taste, a sarcastic teenager or being unable to afford it; to cite a few examples.

I think the same process feeds both homophobia and RIcky Gervais comedies.

Is this any different from a Most Favoured Customer clause? That is a very common instrument in vendor agreements. Is it somehow different in wholesale agreements?

No, we are stupid. We labelled people who cannot speak as dumb, it should have been people who cannot see....

How the head of Rob Ford is attached to the body has been a mystery for some time.

I thought sucking dick for money was a step up for a Java programmer.

You only have to unwind the stack frames that matter, and merely keep a chain of what needs to be destroyed.
It is not cheap, but C++ exception handling is not cheap either.
It is also a poor way to implement things, but at least you will be remembered.
C++ amortizes overhead more evenly than C, so inefficiencies of a particular mechanism are not as glaring. Would you take the roof racks off an SUV to save gas?

Make the documentary a success; and maybe help the poor buggers with Citizen Koch while you are at it.

I am sure Moshe was not intentionally channelling Hanna-Barbera, but you raise an interesting point. Has AI prognostication devolved into mining 1960s cartoons in the hope of getting it right?

I would like to add my own prediction: Artificial Stupidity, which will arrive long before Artificial Intelligence, will bring about the unemployment of our soothsayers. Such a singularity will be capable of generating a significant multiple of the inane tripe that humans can.
