So this getting up early thing can finally be dismissed as a genetic defect?
Nothing healthy about it.

Unfortunately our society is pretty biased towards morning people.
Work days from 9 to 5, which I've been stretching for 10 to 6.
Shops which open in the early morning and are pretty much sold out by the time I come out of bed.
Lots of stuff happening in the morning.
Except partying, that's still an evening/night activity.
Yeah, evening people have more fun (at the expense of groceries)!

What a surprise ! [^]:
"In a blog post in June, Microsoft's vice president for technology and civic engagement Dan'l Lewin, said the software company was "honored to support the 2016 Iowa caucus via a new, mobile-enabled, cloud-based platform that will facilitate accuracy and efficiency of the reporting process."
The secure system was meant to enable precincts "to report their results directly by party and will ensure that only authorized Iowans are reporting results. This announcement represents the first-of-its-kind major technology component to caucus reporting," he wrote."
«In art as in science there is no delight without the detail ... Let me repeat that unless these are thoroughly understood and remembered, all “general ideas” (so easily acquired, so profitably resold) must necessarily remain but worn passports allowing their bearers short cuts from one area of ignorance to another.» Vladimir Nabokov, commentary on translation of “Eugene Onegin.”

Because it's no more impractical than some of the other sillyness posted here recently.
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?

just looking at the thumbnail that gave me in gmail, I'm not sure if I want to risk clicking it until I'm home.

It has a topless young man trying to seduce a good looking young women in a "south beach" (or cuba beach) setting.
I like the song, there is also a remix/remake made by Mel Merio[^], just youtube it.
I'd rather be phishing!

I saw that over a year ago and actually did it as a presentation to kids in the local school (we used only about 6000 pieces)...I believe some of the kids had a lifetime shock, and we will see them answering questions here in a few years (maybe asking too)...

Microsoft is stepping up its Windows 10 push by making the OS a 'recommended' -- though not required -- update for Windows 7 and 8.1 users, beginning February 1. Are you really, really, really, really sure you don't want to upgrade?

|
|
|

I love the wording of the GWX Control Panel status summary:
"No traces of the Get Windows 10 app, Windows 10 upgrade settings, or Windows 10 installation files found. You appear to be safe!"
Let's hope so

Alphabet became the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world — coming in at a market cap $558 billion after jumping about 8% after the company reported its fourth-quarter earnings, and passing Apple, which sits at a market cap of $535 billion. O I C U F $$$

It's a numbers game. I see Apple overtaking Alphabet once the markets pick up (not to take anything away from Messrs. Page and Brin).

IF the market picks up.
The tablet market is saturated, and the phone market seems to be leveling out as well. Apples sales in china is growing, but only marginally. There's no momentum.
But as you say, it's a numbers game. We'll see.

Unfortunately, that didn't really help him. Why didn't I think of that?

He could have just learned to play guitar.
Works a treat.

But cause you intuitively knew it wouldn't work, so your brain never brought the idea forward.

Over the course of the last couple of days I've dug around in the various repositories of the dotnet organisation on GitHub, and what I'm seeing there is very exciting. And I'm not just talking about running on Linux. Write once, debug everywhere returns!
|
|
|
|
|
And not just the to be expected platform debugging. A whole slew of .NET Native specific requirements on top of that. Was excited about .NET Native. Read the requirements and limitations. Won't touch.

Regulators in the United Kingdom on Monday approved a request from scientists to use the emerging CRISPR gene editing tool to perform experiments on human embryos. I think I saw this movie - it doesn't end well
Yeah, yeah. No implanting. Nothing really to worry about they say. What about The Blob? Or that Trapper Keeper incident?
