An ancient Mesopotamian pay stub reveals booze rations for workers. Some things never change

Just a note on that.
Beer at that time was probably more a heavy gruel with some sort of fermentation than a IPA or Lager (or whatever beer you drink) that we see today.
I'd rather be phishing!

That would be Light™ gruel with some sort of fermentation attached to it.

Physicists have confirmed the existence of a new form of atomic nuclei, and the fact that it’s not symmetrical challenges the fundamental theories of physics that explain our Universe. Quick, someone call the Doctor!

Oh, I'm not fat then, I'm a big atomic nucleus!

Windows chief Terry Myerson, in a statement to The Verge. "We've been working hard to incorporate their feedback and this week, we'll roll out a new upgrade experience with clear options to upgrade now, schedule a time, or decline the free offer."
I'm guessing this'll roll out with next months patch Tuesday; just a few short weeks before the offer finally goes away. Assuming they don't run into problems and have to split the release date for the another month. 
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?

Nothing like a $10.000 slap on the nose!

I refuse the update to W10 and the decline option. I'd rather get $10k options.

By 'their', I'm assuming Terry meant 'the court's', and not the customers.

Google is no stranger to hardware releases, with the Nexus range of phones and tablets proving quite the hit with consumers. But a new report has claimed Google is ready to cut out the middleman and release its own phone handset. It worked out so well for Microsoft
Yes, it worked out for that "other" phone company, but it was never a software company switching to hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. Now if only that hardware company could complete the transition to being an actual software company.
Except the Operations Guys and Accountants now run it, so that horse has bolted...

Execution matters too. Google executes way better than Microsoft.
