Are you for real or just being sarcastic ?

Having recently started using Visual Studio - new position mandated it. (Previously an Eclipse user). I was wondering if i might find out what precisely people like so much about it. Quite frankly I hate it. Perhaps the interface is a bit cleaner - but overall its more like the "Tesco Value IDE" , offering only a basic subset of the functions I've come to rely on in Eclipse.

It is - I own "The Day After" which is saccharine by comparison. Still a I like this film too!

I own this film on DVD and while it is a harrowing piece. If you are a into apocalyptic scenarios or were a teenager in the 80's this film is a must view IMHO!

These accidents will likely be mostly minor fender-benders that result in the road-ragers losing their licenses (unless, of course, they get a self-driving car.) Or, That, and you'd also probably see road-ragers driving themselves off the road and into fixed objects. The automatic cars'll generally do a pretty good job of avoiding serious collisions--far better than even a reasonably skillled human driver could.

If a person is so lacking in maturity and self-control that they'd start ramming automated cars for not letting them treat the road as their own personal speedway, it's highly unlikely that these individuals are able to conduct themselves in a mature manner in today's traffic. We're not looking at a substantial net-up of people who have no business driving a car, y'know?

Best chair joke so far :D

I was thinking that in response to the Steve Jobs crowdfunding initiative to build a sculpture - perhaps we could celebrate this by crowdfunding a giant statue of Ballmer flinging a chair!

There are a variety of solutions to these problems.using alternative DNS is one but this does not work in the case that IP addresses are blocked. Proxies may also work but in the end these are reliant on no blocks existing on the proxies network .Even then how long before proxies are blocked ?TOR seems like a good idea but in reality its a bit slow and thus you couldn't just route all your traffic through it. What is the long term solution to this?

Does anyone have any long term predictions or ideas about how we might work around this in a way that performs well and is more future proof?

FYI. EZTV is also blocked with BT infinity. And my VM at Bytemark cannot access either

my fear is that what happens when Microsoft or apple start putting pressure on the government to block things like cyanogen or the Linux kernel?

Lets hope he can act a bit better than Hartnell - a large portion of his lines were proceeded with what I can only describe as "sniff the fart" acting. Watch a couple of episodes and you will see what i mean.

One wonders if this doesn't help to explain both the perennial popularity of libertarianism and the ongoing lack of a viable libertarian state.

Yep Christopher Lloyd for Dr Who and the imagination of JJ Abrams ! that would be perfect!

Obviously Eccleston was the true inheritor of Tom Baker's mantle,. ...... Nope - not going to take that bait!

to be honest the BBC needs to focus on getting better direction and script writers. These days all the great unmissable shows are coming from the US. A great actor can should not be let down by poor direction or a lame script. DR Who needs someone like J J Abrams in charge imho!

I think he was referring to kids who run their linux machine as root as oppose to badmouthing linux in some way. We've all done it at some point and learned the pitfalls in the process. N.
