Why didn't anyone tell him they already make the Mac Pro in Austin?

Me as well, I call it the "dramatically slow rolling" die and only use it for such rolls.

So a mobile game device and a high-end smartphone and the headset? Sure, piece of cake!

I'm in the same boat. I love the car, also feel deceived and worried that performance will suffer if I "get an update". I dug through some links, but I didn't see any actual numbers on the difference besides the "40X" more. 40X more what? NOx? Where's my before and after, and a market comparison?

I doubt they will get the per-vehicle max fine. There's no way they can pay $37k on a $22K car, but I am sure there will be some shake up of VW holdings. Perhaps the Porsche dudes take over (there's been an internal VW power struggle recently)? Or perhaps Bentley or Lambo is sold off to cover some fines?

Yes, there's a big jump. But this release is significant because it brings two popular forks back together.

In one sense, this is the magic of the open source community and work: differences erupt, forks are drawn and then things cool down and a single code base emerges. The creation of the Node Foundation and uniting into a single code base means that we can torture Slashdot with stories of server-side Javascript for years to come.

He's probably doing this thing called "sarcasm".

There's no wrong side of 60!

One side let's you yell, "Get off my damn lawn!" and the other allows "Get off my damn lawn, you punk kids!"

No, their new website is https://abc.xyz/

Obviously those internet-type guys get the domain before announcing the product.

Speaking as a 40 year old man, I compromise at work by setting the thermostat at 24C. At home my wife and I prefer it at 27C, but we're used to the heat down here in Texas.

Keep in mind that MUMPS first appeared in 1966, so it isn't exactly new.

I have a doctor friend who, before becoming a doctor, was a CS grad. He's in his 50's now. When I told him we hired someone from Epic Systems that knew MUMPS, he exclaimed, "They still use that?! MUMPS was going out of style back when I was an undergrad!"

I believe it is also still used in older banking/financial tools.

A Kasdan penned Han Solo movie? Yes, please!

Me as well, but I've found regular exercise does more to help the back issues than the sit-stand desk. At work I have an Uplift Desk and I usually start the day standing, but usually sit for 30 minutes for every hour of standing. I have my computer call out the time every half hour so I remember to switch positions.

We've had a few on-site training sessions at my office, and I've given up my chair for the day because it has been crowded. The desk is comfortable enough to stand (changing heights from low-stand to high-stand-and-lean-on) all day, but I think I'd have to work up to standing full-time.

Like all other cool things on ThinkGeek, it is sold out and will never return, no matter how many addresses you sign up for the "Notify me when in stock" list.

No, the story is from yesterday. The image at the top of the story is from 2013.
