Yet to see any commenter state the basics

Who can tell us how many BTUs of human generated heat are created each year?

Also, how many tons of human created gases are released in to the atmosphere each year?

Both easily googled and both easily averaged from as many sources as you like from as far back as you like.

Go on, I dare you.

Hard to believe

That this is the same person that ran a large company.

Re: Carpe diem

One bad business decision can ruin your life for the rest of your life.

Trust me, it isn't worth it. It really isn't.

Well there you have it

I can’t see how I could balance the books. He wants me to move quickly but it’s not going to happen: I’d need a pot of cash to get into launch mode and prevent it from switching to tits-up mode within six months."

Says it all right there. I wouldn't have touched it either. Er, bought in.

Better customer service?

Most companies treat customers as a nuisance that is between them and the money the have a god given right to.

Oh please

Modern hydroponics lets you grow and eat just anything you want in one fourth the space as dirt farming with substantially less water and much higher yield rate.

The kind of thing that is perfect for hostile environments.

WTF?

Learn to hand write

Unless you have a verified medical condition, there is no excuse for not learning how to hand write.

Some of the excuses here are unbelievable.

No, nothing comes naturally to anybody but the rarest individual in school. That's the whole damn point of having schools.

Sheesh.

Pretty cool

But I have to wonder how far you have to drill down to get what you want. For me, that's always the issue with any interface.

Re: Once a bastion of freedom...

Not only fundamentally wrong, but insanely unclear on the the entire concept of the Internet, i.e. anything on it can eventually be hacked, cracked and phreaked.

It's the old castle versus cannon mistake. Fast mobile warfare was the only real defense.

You are a renting serf

I am sick of this attitude by corporations that I just rent their product or service.

No motherfucker! I bought it and I fucking own it! And you WILL honor the goddamn warranty! And when the warranty is over, I WILL do with it as I damn well fucking please! (short of physically harming others)

Biometric FAIL

Biometrics have been proven time and time again by some very well respected boffins to be unreliable in the everyday world in every sense of the word.

Mostly by locking the authorized user out of their own stuff.

How is this possible?

No one I know (IT pros) would ever recommend nVidia for anything.

Why can't I get contracts like that

130K? Seriously?

2 of those and I'd be almost set for life.

Re: "masterminded the multi-billion-dollar Skype and Yammer deals"

No mystery. Someone is getting the extra money. Probably someone within the 2 companies.

As for 365, more cloud fail.

Sounds more like security at the organization failed.

Re: how much when he dies

It is all starting to look like a William Gibson novel, where the world is owned by the big corporations and they are so big, no one can touch them.

Starting?

Where have you been for the last 60 years? (Think Eisenhower's famous speech about the military industrial complex)

I hope they like living in the stone age.

Here's a bet: I'll bet the current gov doesn't last to the end of the year if they try to enforce this for very long.
