I've had teachers that presumably didn't like the pronunciation "your anus" and instead pronounced it as "urine us" (which sounds like urine, and opens it up to all different jokes and didn't fix the problem.

This is the one planet that doesn't have Roman, but a Greek name, and is pronounced, more properly as "Oh roo nuss". If they would just use this pronunciation it would eliminate all of these silly jokes.

In my neighborhood, every house has a garage. I would say, 1/3 of these garages are filled with junk or exercise equipment and the cars are parked outside. I see Tesla wall chargers on the *outside* of the house (in the elements) because these people don't put their car in the garage.

How many times has *this* site directed me to an article where I have to pay $800 to read it? No wonder people are skeptical about academic publishing, esp. when my tax money was used to fund the research that produced these very articles I'm not allowed to read as a party that helped fund it?

There seems to be a mishmash of both approaches. You get reviews from Variety, The New York Times and The Miami Herald mixed in with reviews from BuzzFeed NYC Movie Guru.

I'd rather get reviews from "regular people" and not "professional reviewers" with a silver spoon up their nose. I can't recall ever agreeing with any movie review from a place like the NYT.

AI 'Business Agents' Will Kill SaaS by 2030, Says Microsoft (thenewstack.io) 122

Traditional business applications will become the mainframes of the 2030s - functioning but obsolete systems replaced by AI agents, predicts Microsoft corporate vice president Charles Lamanna. AI agents featuring generative AI interfaces, goal-oriented processing, and vector databases will supplant today's form-driven, workflow-based enterprise software within five years, said Lamanna, who leads Microsoft's business applications and platforms division.

The executive projects industry patterns for agent-based systems will solidify within 6-18 months. Microsoft MVP Rocky Lhotka called the 2030 timeline "very forward-looking and optimistic," noting that capital-intensive industries cannot readily replace existing infrastructure with virtual agents.

for companies to invest in and improve this format of phone? I've owned several flip phones way back to the Star-Tac and I wouldn't want this now over a monolithic touch-screen phone.

Most of the time when I hear pro-"flip phone" arguments it's from people that don't want "smart phones", but most of these flips phones are Android (smart) phones just in a different format and can be made to do anything any other Android phone can do.
