Several days ago, I was gazing at the Universal Install Script comic by Randall Munroe, wondering if he may not have solved all the world’s problems, save for the usual famine, war, poverty, education, corruption, and so on. Because you knew someone would try it (and of course it sort of works)

Yeah, there is a negative chance of them going with it, but a boy can dream, can't he?

These theories are only that the meteorite was the last hit for them. But it was the "killer hit" and nobody knows, whether it was only a crisis from which they recovered.
BTW: birds are there successors - so they are a lot and well alive. Chickens have a lot similarity with T.Rex in the bones

Quote Infoworthless: Even if these are true -- there’s evidence they aren’t -- programming geezers have valuable wisdom you can’t absorb simply by watching a TED talk on YouTube or fast-forwarding through a MOOC
Fortunately, we have the clickbait press to teach us those lessons. 
I'm also wondering if they put the age cutoff in the wrong spot. I'm still closer to getting my BS than to 50 and can check at least 4 of the 5 boxes. I'm not sure if I could ID a swapthrashfest from indexing by drive noise; the behavior of the OS while the former is going on vs the latter is obvious enough that I never tried listening for a different pattern. 
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?

Look at the evidence. Microsoft seems certain to finally stop trying to push a Windows-based mobile OS on us and embrace the Android future. That's one way to get the #1 mobile OS

Actually I would be a bit surprised because:
1) There is no margin in hardware
2) There is no margin in OS
The only profit is the app store side of things - and if MS go to Android they either have to accede to Google app store or compete with...which would turn the only profitable part of the mobile phone ecosystem into a race to the bottom too.
