This reminds me of the time that CCP (Developer of the MMO Eve Online) accidentally deleted the boot.ini file from windows systems during a major update. Those were the days!

I'd wager it has something to do with the law differences between countries. In this case, I would immediately assume there are differences in privacy laws since Cortana is doing a lot of listening and transmitting of personal or in-home communication.

Live long and prosper.

The city where I was born, and the sister city across a river, lost 2 theaters in the last decade. One, part of a larger corporate theater chain, got refurbished.

Streaming services are doing a pretty darn good job of reducing traditional movie theatre traffic.

CEO bonuses are generally tied to profits, not savings. And no, they aren't the same thing.

I'm not really interested in the political aspect (for this discussion), although it will likely morph into that. Given the technology for the time of the "crash" (2010-2011), is it actually feasible that the emails regarding the IRS controversy are gone and can never be retrieved GIVEN the premise there was no direct action(s) taken to erase said emails? One story by Politico: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/irs-lois-lerner-emails-108044.html[^] The reason I ask is because while I'm not the most tech savvy person, I have worked many years in tech-support which involved some low-level data retrieval, remotely repairing computer software as well as physical computer repair. This was all done on personal computers and when it came down to data retrieval, it was highly likely that data was actually lost beyond the point of retrieval. The only times I wasn't able to retrieve the data personally was when a hard drive failed and it had to be shipped off and even then it was highly unlikely that the data could not be recovered. In short, I find it highly unlikely that the emails for this controversy are lost but I thought I'd see if my betters had insight into data storage for enterprise applications.

5 whole minutes? You didn't have your mind made up before hand, did you. Nope.

I noticed this a while ago with youtube.com. Details on the functionality:https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95655?hl=en As for the non-clickable links, you can highlight them in chrome, right click and you'll get a couple of options if it determine that it's a link.

I joined the WebSiteSpark program and got a load of Azure stuff for free. MSDN subs might also, I'd check on that before paying.

I'm definitely a beginner but I have a question: Doesn't the program end up doing an if/then regardless of whether or not you're removing the actual syntax? There still needs to be a comparison done somewhere, or at least I thought.

I do it simply because at night there are less worldly distractions and as the writer of the article eluded to, my brain can tunnel vision it's attention.

I recently tackled this and found that it's a known issue that email addresses or liveIDs can't be changed right now. I've used my own domain for years now, while that domain isn't working, and they send the email to my current email account.

I was just thinkin the same thing. Although I'm a novice, I don't like the pre-formatted version of

and tables offer a convenient way to format things the way I want.

I find the state of patents more disturbing and to think that a Retailer chain called Metro AG has a problem with MS naming a style as "Metro" as if that term isn't used for so many other things in our world, like "I'm gonna take the metro downtown". I have the same level of disgust as I do with this Apple/Samsung fiasco. Winning over a button style? The Apple button is nothing special - it looks like a FRICKIN BUTTON, better patent it. I wonder when we'll have parents start to patent their child's name.
