The apology came from the CEO. They just didn't sign the press release, because you don't sign press releases.

No.. all programs and web sites do this.

It's called a hex editor.

Now, that may be too complicated for 90% of the techies, but it's not true for the rest of us, and you're slowing us down with the simpleton demands for ASCII-editable interfaces.

I think it's that if you are control-freakish enough to make sure there is absolutely no duplication of effort or market share anywhere in the company, you end up stomping out innovation*. Free-market vs. planned economy inside the corporate walls.

* Unless you're Apple, of course.

Or are we calling "climate change" this week. It's so hard to keep up.
I, too, am confused by synonyms.

I have a painting with AR glass. It's a big improvement over regular glass, but it's way, way more reflective than the glass seen in the photo.

Also note from the WP article you cited:

It is possible to obtain reflectivities as low as 0.1% at a single wavelength. Coatings that give very low reflectivity over a broad band can also be made, although these are complex and relatively expensive.

TFA claims broadband 0.5% reflectivity.

Nerds don't like editorials, they like facts.

No. Nerds like to read facts; they like to write editorials.

C: What I wanna know is, the call is from WHO?
A: Yes.
C: WHO?
A: Yes.
C: WHO's calling?
A: Yes.
C: WHO at the White House is calling?
A: WHO is not at the White House.
C: If they're not at the White House, then WHO did you say is calling?
A: Yes.
C: !!!

This is good news. I was worried about Silk's privacy implications, but if Joe Barton is worried too, Silk must be freaking unicorns.

Are you running VOS or FTX? I don't know about FTX, but if you're running VOS, and you're (at least) two years out, I highly recommend upgrading to the V-Series. Stuff that used to compile overnight now takes seconds; we stopped building an inverted index of our source code because "display *.pl1 -match x" was instant. More on the port:

Wow. I will never post from an iPhone again...

AOL initially ran on a network of Stratus fault-tolerant minicomputers, each running two to eight 680x0 CPUs. Later we added unix boxen, some beefy SGIs and HPs for servers, and Suns for front-end telco interfacing IIRC. By the mid-90s we grew a Tandem fault-tolerant cluster for our critical databases; it did hot component failover, multimaster replication, all
the stuff that's common today, but
with SQL down in the drive controller for blazing speeds. We didn't really
start moving to a PC-based architecture until the late '90s, when
Linux provided cheap, reliable enough workhorses, and helped drive the
big Iron prices down too

In their defense, you're talking about a standard where Full Speed is lower than Hi Speed and nobody's legally permitted to call them 1.1 or 2.0.

Innovatio (it means “innovation” in Latin, McAndrews said)

Innovatio. And you can leave off the last N - That's the N for savings!

Somebody should make a Timeline about the history of such trolls

ITYM somebody should make a Timeline brand linear time display about the history of such trolls.

Likewise, there are plenty of jobs for talented workers. They're just currently taken by underperformers.
