I fully expect the two divergent plots to merge. Keeping in mind that (spoiler):
Yeah, that's what we said about Half Life: Opposing Force, and apparently now it never officially happened.
I think this is a different situation, in that Opposing Force was developed primarily by Gearbox (if I recall correctly), as opposed to the Portal franchise, which is developed by Valve itself.
I think there's a limitation to this. You don't see a lot of stuff out there being marketed as version 735 of the product.
I'm sure they'll decide that version 640 should be enough for anyone.
Turn in your geek card. All these should be familiar enough by now.
If we were real geeks, we'd refer to a "BSoD", when it occurs in an NT-family Windows OS, as a STOP Error (unless it's a "Hardware Error", or an "NMI Parity Check"). But clearly I'm just being +1 Pedantic Asshat. (On that note, I really wish Slashdot would let me change my nickname)
Uncle Sam's signature is already basically worthless as far as its promises to pay back its debt. What good would there be in being vouched for by a deadbeat, and basically a counterfeiting one at that.
I think you deserve a +1 Buzzword Bingo for managing that segue so gracefully.
Christ he was indicted on 20 counts, including mail fraud and trade secret theft. They have plenty of other indictments to work from.
Counts that they wouldn't have to spend nearly as much effort on, to boot.
I had the experience of being on a jury for a similar case in the Silicon Valley area a couple years ago. I'd have to say that the whole "e-mailing rather sensitive documents to yourself on the way out *and* using it in a competing startup" approach seems to be a foolproof way to get yourself found liable for little things like misappropriation of trade secrets.
Hookers, blow, and maple syrup?
And Poutine, I'm told.
Nope. But you keep you overly simplistic view of the world,..to yourself.
To be fair, the 'dummy terminal' has been supplanted by the more modern Fat Client.
Take that as you will.
I can only hope that yours is a sarcastic post.
Poe's Law strikes again!
"it only stands to reason that 'uncountable' should be extended to also have a plural form."
What's wrong with "uncountables?"
That was the one with Sean Connery and Kevin Costner, right?
You seem kinda riled up about this. Like you actually did buy an IDC report once
I *DID* buy an IDC report once, you insensitive clod!
This is the way it *SHOULD* be you dumbass statist. Only the PRIVATE sector can do things reliably, consistently, and with absolute dedication to quality and affordability through innovation and the invisible hand of the free market. The government (as we all know from all the stories on slashdot) is incompetent in everything it does, why woul dyou want national security handled by people whos only interest is the size of their fat cat union backed paycheck?
As opposed to people whose only interest is the size of their fat cat government-backed contract?
And of course "Eternal Flame".
Yes, the capitalisation of my comment's subject is deliberate.
Mustn't forget to include the Other Obligatory xkcd link.
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
