Paul may have been on to something during this time frame. It is nice to know that Microsoft turned itself around if they were indeed headed the wrong way. Microsoft has been around a long time. Any company that can continue to adapt will a

Could you use a USB number pad? Would need a heavy one so it does not move around I guess.

Cool, that was always my problem with VirtualBox, namely I could not minimize it the way I wanted.

Exactly this ... outside of ThinkPad, many Windows hardware options have been pretty embarrassing.

What Microsoft has done today is prove they're very focused about providing a top of the line personal computing experience. You can argue about server, but when it comes to applications (which are floating windows), Microsoft Windows

I've done this too. I think it is dangerous, maybe even something that could become addictive. I know, the pressure to get the product out the door. If you truly have down time and can truly get away, maybe there is a way. But that is

Greed is cruel. A lot of us here want to "make it big". Don't do this to yourself or to others on your journey. Behind every perverse way is a devil whispering in your ear, "its okay". Don't listen to that.

I am not sysadmin, so, thinking out loud here: why not build software services in a way that does not require this large and sprawling infrastructure? The future could be simple binaries that run in user space and cache everything in simple

I want freedom from ugly stickers on new laptops! I currently have to take a blow-dryer to remove them.

As a child I longed for a "blue" M&M. Even though I repeatedly gave into buying these candies that melted in my hands and crackled in my mouth, when the last one was consumed I felt an emptiness ... a blueness ... on the insid

Good question. I assume you upload a cert? My question: what happens when I side load on my phone with a different compiler but ship it to MS who uses a different version and the app runs differently?

This is alarming, yes. You know what is more alarming? The fact that hardware and websites have conspired together along with brick~mortar retailers, and cell phones, to create an entire profile about everything I do. Then at some point in

Amazon, Newegg, and Wal-Mart .... you can't be one of them cheaply, but you can be niche. Stay there, enjoy it.

Personally, I feel like I need 280 characters to express a simple and complete English-phrased thought. As an example, this comment does not fit within their limit.

Something that Arstechnica does that I really like is that it shows you the up/down count on an individual comment. It allows you to see the struggle and you can make a decision based on that to help it out.

Everything is wonderful, right up to the moment the "system" determines you have no value. You can run, but you cannot hide. In a perfect world, I love the idea.
