They should stay in Redmond. The "innovation grass" should prove much more conducive than innovation trees...

With popularity, of course, comes insane fans who were not happy at all to learn the app would be removed from app stores. The app’s fans are so insane, in fact, that many of them replied to Dong’s tweet by threatening him with violence. Some people went as far as to threaten to murder the developer or even kill themselves if he pulled the app. I will be starting a collection to get these people a life
|
|
|
|
|
But surely these people already have the app, in order to be fans? 
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah.
I'm guessing they think that somehow his removing the app from the various stores will reach down and pull it off of their phones.
Or something.
People.

Office Online, Microsoft's rebranded Office Web Apps, are inching closer toward launch. That should help Office sales

|
I hope that Microsoft will make 'Office Online' better than Office Web Apps...

If you had to “start over,” what are the technologies, languages, paradigms and platforms I need to be up-to-date and mastering in my new world of 2014? Lisp, Forth, and CGI for web apps of course

Based on just the subject line:
Woodworking, metalurgy, operation of a miller, metal shaper and blanchard grinder.
Screw programming. BUT I'm good at it so what the hell.

Definitely those would be more useful for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

Imana take the 5th.
I've finally realized that making things in meatspace is what I really want to do. Moved to the country, set up a metal shop and a woodshop, making lots of sawdust and swarf. But making progress. Hopefully in a year or two I'll only have a computer for browsing the innert00bz every once in a while.

The bad news is that in addition to the direct matter of users not being able to withdraw bitcoins, they say the technical issue that they're dealing with is something that pertains to the broader Bitcoin community. >Pop<</xml>

Maybe I'm old fashioned but nothing will convince me to buy or use Bitcoins or anything else that comes along. Things I like about hard cash are that (a) you can negotiate with it, (b) you can turn the penny over several times before you spend it, (c) I like having some cash on me to call upon.
Virtual or real; a fool and his money are soon parted.

Bitcoin should've been a bit more careful.

Oh, I wish we had downvoting for that pun. So, I'll just upvote it instead.

Browsing coffee? I think it may be drunk!

Implores customers with technical know-how to help friends and family ditch Windows XP, but isn't that Microsoft's job? I don't know, but I've been told. Windows XP is plenty old.

Aren't there battle-hardened Vista Vets out there screaming for revenge against Microsoft? They'd be willing to kill anything by Microsoft after having been ravaged by that pus-filled, halitosis spittled, bubonic plague organism called Vistaberculosis.

I am. Wiped the machine clean and installed from scratch + all updates. An oddly satisfying experience, followed by half a bag of Tostidos Rounds and spicy salsa, which really hit the spot at 2:00am.

Graf built a huge, powerful “gun” in his backyard that’s capable of shooting small payloads in a suborbital trajectory. "I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?'"
