"Thank you Vera much."
Those shitweasels caused a lot of pain and cost a lot of money. Darl's reward was picking scraps from the SCO trash heap, bankruptcy and then croaking of ALS.
I wonder what PJ is up to.
Woah... Dumb question, but would a wing spar be repairable or replaceable?
Coward said, because when the wing falls off at 30,000 feet, rest assured - it's okay, because Airbus has good documentation. All fixed.
No, of course a broken spar is A Very Bad Thing when it happens in midair.
Is this changing-the-timing-chains-in-an-Audi difficult, or is this replacing-your-spinal-cord-without-killing-you impossible?
Are these planes repairable? I think it's a reasonable question.
(Of course, with the Audi, if has anything more than a loose gas cap it's not economically feasible to repair, but that's what you get with European engineering.)
From the summary:
Microsoft, for its part, says the bugs were minor and stands by its findings and roadmap.
IOW, they're sticking with their marketing pitch.
If you trust the people working for you, you pay them well and fund their projects.
That's no longer the American Way (if it ever was).
The Gulf Stream is a wind system starts some place around Florida
Wind is part of the cause, but the GS itself is an ocean current.
The reported drop ins SpaceX is understandable given the recent IPO.
As for most of the others, is a 2% drop significant?
It's just too big to fail.
In a free country, "too big to fail" is to big to be allowed.
At one time, Squid was also the core of at least one big public CDN's product I know of. What they run now has diverged a ton and I heard they purged all remaining squid project code at one point, but it was recognizably descended from squid for quite a while.
Wow, someone from the future. What is 2917 like?
I'm not from the future. It's just that time is cyclical.
There are various hypotheses to explain it, such that the universe is cyclical or that we're stuck in a time loop. But the most broadly accepted hypothesis is that a prior civilization collapsed at the end of year 32,767, and it has taken us almost 35,000 years to get back to where we are now.
Of course, our calendar doesn't allow for a year 0, so we may have an off-by-one error. But then again people celebrated the millennium at the end of 1999, so maybe there's a tacit assumption that there was in fact a year 0.
