There are reasons people wear contacts and have Lasik. I doubt most people want something that fragile on their heads full time. Its a good first start though

Wow, that's like almost as long as the entire Earth's history right? OMG!!! WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!

http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/60102 WiX is another great example of an Open Source project Microsoft created and released (And still supports and uses ALOT)

I will continue to prefer a human with whom I can attempt an upgrade for a gratuity. A machine gives you no leeway.

If they don't have bosses who did all that firing a few weeks ago? They may have less managing than any place else, but they still have bosses. This isn't Lord of the Flies

I don't assume people at the bottom half of the income level are lazy. I am below all of these marks as well. The people I am calling lazy are the ones who expect people who have had the good fortune to have made enough to be considered rich to support them by paying a higher share of taxes. It is not a fair system, they already pay more, why screw them over for being fortunate. Look at Bill Gates, he made it and where is all his money going to be going? To the worlds poor, in a more efficient manner than any government could have provided. Had the Government decided then he was making too much money, he might hot have as much to do what he is doing now.

I love how all of you just assume their money should support your lazy asses. Taxes should be a set percentage on all income levels. That way we all pay evenly. Notice, this means the Rich will still pay more, they always have and always will. But, at least this way we wouldn't be farking them over for being successful. Get some pride people and pay your own way and quit counting on the Rich and the Government to support your asses.

Pride makes me QA the hell out of my code before I turn it over to QA. I hate when people find bugs in my code. It still happens plenty, but hopefully I make it easier on QA. And, that is where consideration comes in, I don't want to make my co-workers job a living hell having to find stupid bugs. I really have an issue with people who don't take the time to make sure their stuff is pretty solid before throwing it over the fence.

no wonder you are named erroneus. There is one case when a human will want to kill, to protect those they care about. The convoy was coming and needed to have all threats removed now. Therefore, the urgency. Do you really think the military is a bunch of murderous thugs? Think seriously about your answer. Then Judge.

You are wrong, the two cameras were not the weapons. Actually watch the video. The guy behind them is very clearly carrying a rifle, I could not identify it as an AK, but even if it was something else who cares. And if you travel with people who are armed in a combat zone, expect to be shot at. Again, our military is not a mass group of murdering thugs, They are good caring people for the most part so I will always give them the benefit of the doubt. If you don't FUCK YOU, continue to sit near your desk hidden from the realities of this world. Protected by the very people you castigate.

I really feel bad for the journalists. But, you knew the risk when you started walking in a war zone with the enemy of a power. A convoy was coming through the area, the chopper's job is to remove all threats. At least one of them was armed. Sorry.

Wow, even for SlashDot this is very troll, you have got to be kidding me? Here are some examples of where M$ is the one to watch for the trend. Granted some of these examples are more devolper centric but still, and others you say may have had some partial incarnations previously but M$ made them easy, fun, and real. 1) Randomizing OS binaries in memory to prevent buffer overflow 2) Microsoft's Testing and Lab Management Suite 3) Project Natal 4) Intelli-Trace 5) Pex 6) Windows Home Server 7) XBox Live Service (including XNA) 8) Chess These are all good examples of where they are the trend.

Not only does it seem a bad idea, but a pain in the a$$ too... http://www.vcu.com/page/tweetmymoney-videos

It is the best application out there for Usability studies. Put 10 people through some set of tests on your application and by the time you analyze your recordings and data you will understand where your customers are getting stuck/confused. A great thing to add is to have your developers watch the sessions live as remote observers, just hearing people's thought process if your tester keeps prodding them is invaluable. http://www.techsmith.com/morae.asp
