The best (worst? most elephanted?) bit of that is the blogs MS pushes out via RSS often puke in outlook. Clearly they need to eat more of their own dogfood after the dog has vomited it back up again.
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?

Why worry when the thieves obviously did not even know what they stole? And the bulls hopefully got another round left in their magazines, so why not prepare a new delivery and everything is well?
I would not worry too much if some illiterates almost accidentally stole my code along with a few cat videos.

Did you get that conclusion with your psychic powers ? At this point, I don't think we can exclude a targeted operation by a foreign intelligence service, or organized jism smugglers, with careful planning to make the theft look a crime of opportunity.
And, I wouldn't rule out North Korea: I mean, look at the thing that Kim has for Dennis Rodman.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Isn't that predicted for the day after tomorrow?
Yesterday my pal in NY told me that the media (as always) have greatly exaggerated the storm.
Just got off the phone with him. He is snowed in even though they plowed the roads earlier in the day. And once again he was lamenting not having bought an emergency generator.
I invited him to move to a place with a proper climate. He swore at me. Several times.

El Paso. Go to El Paso, and as a bonus you get to wear a Stetson.

El Paso? Nah, Phoenix, but leave your racist T-shirts at home, we don't want them here.

The only shirt I have left from my time in El Paso says 'RakSLw'. The only thing that may be remotely racist about it is the Hawk missile that's also printed on it.

It's even been snowing here in N. FL and the temps have been dropping all day. Went out for a couple of hours and hauled some firewood and did about a 2 mile hike. Going to be in it all day tomorrow on a work hike. Dress for success has taken on a whole other meaning!

It probably come close to snowing there yesterday.
My sons going to school there and I'm going there this weekend for a Florida Trail conference.

Nice snowstorm.
I miss really snowstorms; when that happens, I usually go take long walks in the snow.
Looking at the maps, it is really concentrated over the DC/NY area.
We, in southern QC, had nice sunshine all day.
I'd rather be phishing!

I have put a cheap little camera under my helicopter and made a video of my experiments. The camera is not the best, but good enough to practice flying in a way so that you get to see a little more than just shaky sequences of the ground and the sky.
Let me get a better camera, more practice and perhaps first person view, then I might occasionally travel to some more interesting locations.
And now it's time for the premiere and you are invited: T-Rex vs. Unsuspecting Cows[^]

That's nice and all, but can you do this[^]? The fun starts at 1:05 in.
It would be pretty interesting to see that from the choppers perspective.

No. That was just me, standing near the shed and being busy controlling that thing.

No, I can't do that yet. That's called 3D aerobatics and you need a very high degree of precision at the controls to fly like that. Before I would even begin, I would need to improve inverted and backward flying.
The 3D guys actually would not like to carry the extra weight of a camera. They do everything they can to keep the helicopter as light as possible with at the same time the strongest motors they can afford. And then there also is the little problem of needing heavy batteries to power those motors or live with rather short flight times.
However, you would probably be disappointed by a video of a 3D flight. I tried a few stall turns, combined with some pirouettes. All you get to see is a choppy sequence of images of the ground followed by the sky for a few times. The entire video of a 3D flight would look very much like that. a better camera with a higher frame rate will help a little, but I don't think it would be very pleasant to watch.
