Quote: This though, is why concern one — the lack of access for retail investors — is arguably a firewall against this truly being a bubble. For one, if everything goes sour, the folks taking a hit can very much afford it.
How many people in the rest of the world thought the same about the housing bubble in places like California a decade ago? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Today, big Silicon Valley names like Google and Twitter run their online services across thousands of machines. And to efficiently execute their software with so much hardware in the mix, they use the open source Linux operating system and a technology called “containers.” What they don’t use is Windows. New competition on the block for the Penguin.

"Instead of creating circuits from arrays of discrete components (transistors in digital electronics), our work takes a random disordered material and then 'trains' the material to produce a desired output," said Mark K. Massey, research associate, School of Engineering and Computing Sciences at Durham University. Apparently you *can* teach an old material new tricks.

IBM and NASA are collaborating on a global code-a-thon, challenging developers to build applications to power the next generation of space exploration, robotics and human life on earth. I hope someone finally figures out that Space Elevator.

I'm waiting for teleportation, I have a list of people I want to teleport!
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site.
When you are dead you don't know it, it's only difficult for others.
It's the same when you're stupid.

If you ask for the System.DateCreated property of a shell item, the timestamp that comes back is up to two seconds different from the file's actual timestamp. Oh, 1993. You prankster.

Here's what people are doing instead of switching to IPv6: They're buying "old" IPv4 addresses -- in the flourishing IPv4 resale market. IPv4 meets Peter Pan syndrome.

It's not us finding evidence of extraterrestial life I'm worried about.

Is it true that they've given an idiot like this the job of chief scientist?
I think he must have spent too much time on Google (probably finding only wikipedia pages).
In the real world, the act of finding something requires that it be there for you to find, not just refining your search string because it's definitely there, and you just have to home in on it.

So Microsoft now insists it's "definitely possible" that one day it will open source Windows. Open source finds a way.
