It is the same in France, but for the fact that the kids work for free.

We almost work for free. Not quite, but a good Apprentice costs the company about 1/4 of a normal dev. Exchange the that to 7/4 is you caught a bad Apprentice 
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

This is partly why I have spent time with QA: it helps you to think in simpler, clearer ways which I think focuses you better on what you are trying to produce. And sometimes the inexperienced come up with a doozie of a question which makes you think "Hay? What? But..." and throws you down a new path where you learn something good yourself.

Does anyone know of a good documentary telling about what it was earlier and how is it now?

Difficult, since they have troubles finding videos from that period of time.
OK, ok, I am already out.

Primordial (i.e. from the big bang) gravity waves have been observed!
That got me thinking, what did Microsoft announce which was interesting lately?
mm... not much, just as I was afraid of...

A pox on you @Collin-Jasnoch! You have ruined The Big Bang Theory for me  .
I never noticed the laugh track before reading your post last week[^], but now it is all I hear when I watch the show.

As they film the Big Bang Theory in front of a studio audience, it's hard to imagine that there wouldn't be laughter.
|
|
|
|

Sure, but try to focus on it and you will soon notice how orchestrated the laughter often starts and ends. 
Right now I am watching a rerun of an ooooold episode of Step by Step[^]. That show is from a more innocent time and is very family oriented, but it is always good for some great laughs.

Some of today's sitcoms would be almost silent if they were recorded in front of an audience.

Try watching M*A*S*H with and without the laughter track...

Jimmy Carr: "Michael Jackson earned $120,000,000 last year, and he's dead. I just throw that out there in case anyone from Justin Bieber's record company is watching..."
Sounds like a plan to me...

Do you remember back in the distant past when Prince was considered weird and Michael Jackson was the normal one?

The Lounge is still the only place I ever see mention of Beiber.
Given that I'm not a teenage girl and don't read showbiz or celebrity magazines or websites, I don't understand how he spends so much time irritating the rest of you.

"Researchers from the BICEP2 collaboration today announced the first direct evidence for this cosmic inflation. Their data also represent the first images of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. These waves have been described as the "first tremors of the Big Bang." Finally, the data confirm a deep connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity.
"Detecting this signal is one of the most important goals in cosmology today. A lot of work by a lot of people has led up to this point," said John Kovac (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), leader of the BICEP2 collaboration." [^]

The 2 biggest deepest theory of physics keep being spot on many tens of years after they last draft!!! 
Meanwhile the puzzle of dark matter of dark energy remains and no theory account for it... 
(+ the inside of black holes is still shrouded in mystery... (pun intended!! ))

I've been saving cash since October to swap a 427cid stroker into my 2012 Mustang (for you euro guys, that's a RCH (WIKI[^] under seven liters).
As of this weekend, I've achieved a little more than 70% of my parts cost goal ($18k), which includes a Dart 4-bolt main block, AFR 205 aluminum heads, zero-balanced forged crank/rods/pistons, TrickFlow Stage 3 cam, Edelbrock RPM Air Gap dual-plane intake manifold, QuickFuel BDQ850 mechanical secondary carb, MSD ignition, and a Tremec T56 6-speed manual trans.
It's gonna sound something like this when I'm done:

The motor is gonna look something like this:

And it's gonna run something like this:

The car in the linked videos current runs 9:30 in the 1/4 mile with nitrous, but my car probably won't be quite as fast because I'm building my car to go fast in the turns for longer than 9 seconds (and I won't be running nitrous).
If you're not a car guy, you can safely go on about your business. I'm just trying to man-up the Lounge a little.

Awesome you'll have more horses than the Cottontail Ranch in Las Vegas!
Nice ride!
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!
