Because the best way to fix an OS where settings are spread all around, in wildly different places and with vastly incongruent GUIs, is to add yet another way not to find what you need.

Once again, those of us with PCs are treated as second class citizens as a thank you for our early support.

If you maintained such a caloric deficit indefinitely, wouldnâ(TM)t you eventually become underweight? At some point the health benefits would be outweighed by starvation, I imagine.

Itâ(TM)s not obfuscated, thatâ(TM)s just the way I write code!

So weâ(TM)re basically little air bags all surrounded by bubble wrap. Once we become a space faring civilizations, aliens will find us, cut us open, and wonder why someone shipped empty parcels all over the universe.

iPhone. Curly quotes. Sigh.

I heard a story about an engineering company who used automatic translation to send documents back and forth with their international collaborators. At one point, their engineers were perplexed by the frequent mention of an âoewater goatâ in their correspondence.

After digging through their source documents, they learned that the water goats were in fact hydraulic rams.

It's fairly obvious that el niño has been deported to Mexico due to the takedown of the DACA.

Good lord, don't give them any ideas. It seems like work conditions there are bad enough without you having them make it into a *literal* sweatshop for an entire workday.

I have an invention that can solve that problem. It's a smartphone case with a cord that attaches to the wall, so you'll never loose your phone again. Patent pending.

I bought a Rift and although it is a great VR headset, my biggest disappointment is that for the money I paid, I expected to be able to see all the newest VR content out there. This cannot be any further from the truth. I can't even experience Google Earth (without hacking) on the Rift and there are countless Gear VR experiences I would love to try, but I cannot do so. So PC headsets are a good buy if you are a gamer with specific games in mind, but for experiencing general and free VR content, the Gear VR seems to be where it is at right now.

I hope open standards like WebVR improve the situation, but for now the fragment nature of the VR landscape is a major let down.

No, really. This applies to movies too. Why spend more to see it now when you can find it in the Walmart bargain bin a year later?

Isn't writing out requirements in a way a computer can understand the essence of any programming language that has ever existed? So how is this any different? To truly get rid of programmers, the machine would need to look at the world, figure out what the problems were, figure out the requirements to solve it on it's own, and solve it. Then, yes, would programmers be able to look at kitten pictures all day.
