The easy way to tell, is that unclassified code names are single words chosen by a random computer word generator, and the classified code names are always 2 words, chosen again by a random computer word generator.
That doesn't match my experience, but times change.
Although I mostly agree with you, the reason MS has kept their market share is less about their software's technical superiority and more because of the underhanded tactics they use.
I disagree. After Vista I was highly sceptical, but honestly Win7 is the best end-user operating system I've used. (And I'm typing this on a macbook.)
I don't completely agree, but you have some valid points.
What you're overlooking there is in that same time Microsoft has shipped and supported the most popular and most used operating systems in the world, XP and Windows 7 and kept an unrelenting grip on the market for Office products.
You know, that's not a bad write up. Well done Mr. AC.
(I'm a professional software dev. with over a decade of experience writing large scale desktop, web and distributed systems in both C++ and Java, for the past six months I've been helping Fortune 500 companies tune their Java based servlet containers. My observation is that is about the level of technical complexity I can get into while trying to explain related problems to customers... i.e. just barely skimming the surface, but clear and accurate.)
Just when you think you know how
Bloody bastard, who the hell does he think he is?
I did say shootings, not wing slappings or peckings.
Penguins don't kill people, penguins with guns kill people.
I also wonder if a big piece (like say a few cubic km) of ice slides in the water at few km/h. a really big tsunami ?
Yes, if that were to happen the result would be quite dramatic. But the chunk we're talking about is the leading tongue of an ice shelf that is already floating at sea level and the crack that caused this calving has been tracked since 2011 so it's not exactly a dramatic change as the media would like you to believe.
There are more than 0 affairs that occur in those states, and they do, in fact, kill the women involved.
FTFY
Not exclusively, and the current application of the law was not it's original intent.
Having a woman killed because she was raped us just as un-muslim as it was un-christian for Henry VIII (Or Bill Clinton?) to do what he did.
Cultural and religious standards are only one aspect of the problem, systemic corruption is another.
> The HTML parser also takes fewer breaks
I'm sure there's a better technical explanation for this, but I laughed at the thought of the HTML parser on a coffee break.
However, if you're like many of the d-bags around these parts who want their private bike streets paid for with my road and fuel taxes... You can go piss up a rope.
And then you act all mystified when people get all pissy when you start talking politics....
It's not a coincidence? Just what are you proposing to be the link between the two incidents?
Clearly the momentum. Damn those physicists!
Perhaps quantum entanglement would have been funnier.
Not that there's anything funny about quantum entanglement... or having one's life prematurely ended by a Neanderthal with a revoked license.

All the cars stopped. The people walking in the crosswalk were nearly drilled by some jerk on his bike. Just kept riding, then rode through the next red light.
They want full access to the roads, taking a whole lane? Fine. Then they need to meet all of the same rules we do.
- No rolling red lights.
- No cutting between cars in their lanes.
- Turn signals
- Etc.
There are bad cyclists and bad drivers, and no excuses for either.
Is it just me or does any sentence with "linux-based" "smart" and "kickstarter" scare the willies out of you too?
What's more sad, the people who are passionate about devices, or the people who are passionate about chastizing people for being passionate about devices?
A good question, but I put it to you that there is a difference between being passionate about devices and "emo fanboy ranting". (I am passionate about devices.)
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
