By "feature" they mean Cortana as a whole, right?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The secret to devops success begins with an open, flexible, and lazy approach to systems and code. Well, I've got the lazy down. Do I really need to work on the other eight?

Indeed, as they say, "laziness pays off immediately".

When the USA Freedom Act passed last June, it put an end to the country’s National Security Agency’s (NSA) mass surveillance program in which it collected millions of phone records of citizens’ calls over 14 years.
But the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) believes that isn’t enough to protect people’s privacy, because those records still exist in various NSA databases. The non-profit is calling on a secret court to consider ways to delete this trove of data without destroying evidence that proves the NSA snooped on citizens. EFF: Protecting your past, present and future.

Good luck with that.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

People are going to other carriers because they have better plans and better service...period!

Zero times anything is still zero (or NaN  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

20 November, 1970: Once the computers got control, we might never get it back. We would survive at their sufferance. If we're lucky, they might decide to keep us as pets.

To truly brew a perfect cup, it's not enough to know what kind of beans you're working with. You also have to know about the chemistry of the water. Science: making your life better since 1620*

Really, I know I can't drink it in most of Asia but I would have thought the States had decent quality water!

You'd think that. The ongoing elephanting debacle a bunch of sunshines have created in Flint Michigan says otherwise.

H2O != Water.
Water has different mineral content wherever you are; no 2 water taste the same; sometimes it is easy to smell and taste, and sometimes it is is hard to tell.

I totally agree with that...the water is even more important than the coffee. Try brewing a pot of coffee with your favourite bottled water.
