There's no reason you can't use non-Office programs on a Surface either. Unfortunately for people who don't like Office - there'r no good alternatives if you want to conduct business in the environment where Office is mo

Any reason you didn't go with the Surface Pro? It's basically the same size as an RT but it comes with a full operating system and hypervisor... I love my 128GB model and I'll probably get the second version when they come ou

Will there be support for languages other than Javascript? Also, are you planning on wrapping native GUI/forms elements or rendering your own via your abstract drawing layer (or both)?

No, the source was the set of documents that he released. ~200MB worth of documents to be approximately exact. Are they fake? Who do we trust and why? Every "fact" we're given comes second hand.

What is extraordinary about it? The oldest trick in the book: "Mom, she's hitting me!" (she wasn't hitting me.) Nations have been attacking each other in this way since forever. Is it more or less extraordinary than a na

Is it more the nature of the mistake or the trustworthyness of the Reuters organization that influences your opinion (or something else)? I'm not saying this wasn't a mistake, but knowledge of things like "Operation Mockingbi

Microsoft had this back in IE 5.5. They were called "behaviors" and you could basically bundle HTML, CSS and JS into one file with a .htc file extension and then use it as a new tag in your document. http://msdn.microso

My point is that this is a bullshit quote that people use to shore up their opinion without actually having to think. If it didn't sound apocryphal to you, would it really change the fact that Hanlon's/Heinlein's razor

There's plenty of reason to use Windows apart from Office. You just can't see it because you live in a bubble. Businesses aren't going to switch to Linux on the desktop anytime this decade or the next because there is very li

You have to A) know about this ridiculously named package called "south" and B) remember to install it everytime though. That's why it's not "out of the box". Here, Google even backs us up on this - https:&#x2

Does OS X even let you turn off an external monitor yet? (Via a control panel setting or other software driven interface?) In Linux and Windows I can use the OS to turn it off. The Mac forces me to unplug the monitor or power it off manuall
