someguy3,

Wyoming has a plurality!

Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy

Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....

someguy3,

So servers? Yes we all know that.

someguy3,

I think Windows is successful because it was defacto preinstalled on all computers. Even people in third world countries are buying computers whole, not a basket of parts to assemble.

Also software. You’re not going to assemble a computer, install Linux, and then not be able to run anything on it. You want to run all the software that was built to run on Windows, which was built to run on Windows because it came installed on every computer, etc. (Remember Linux back then really couldn’t run all that much. No office? No games? You’re toast.)

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

someguy3,

Agreed, but there is something interesting about a huge park that can really get immersed in.

someguy3,

The whole point was to do it proactively.

someguy3,

Thus the question, why wasn’t it copied more.

someguy3,

Obviously I’m talking about large parks on the scale of central park.

someguy3, (edited )

Central Park was established in 1860 when NYC was 1 million people. Other cities could have seen this good idea and set aside land when they were even smaller.

someguy3,

Located such that.

Who said I want to use it an excuse for no other parks?

What’s with all the bad faith discussion.

someguy3,

People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are.

someguy3,

Yes I understand nyc has more, the point is centrally located

someguy3,

I want both.

someguy3,

I think having both large and small (and tree lined streets) are good ideas. But there’s something appealing about a large park that you can really immerse yourself in.

He was asked to opt for more neutral colors. “I told them no. Compromise in colors is grey,”

Lol.

Had to look up the tedtalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDNgnrt_D8w

someguy3,

Need a before photo too.

someguy3,

Have a before photo?

someguy3,

“How far away is that building?”

“I just don’t know.”

someguy3,

What does mine say?

someguy3,

Turtle?

someguy3,

Iirc no ship could leave the Island until they verified Napoleon was on the land (not hiding on the ship). So he would hide on the Island so the ship couldn’t leave.

someguy3,

Remember back then it was more like rugby. *Forward pass was introduced in 1906, maybe this is why they’re testing helmets.

someguy3,

There are, don’t know which levels wear them. They are simple padded helmets. Good for jostling, not for collisions.

someguy3,

If that’s the case I would say none then. The constitute parts aren’t the item. (How many ships are produced by a forest? None, we use the wood to make the ships.)

someguy3,

That’s actually an interesting question, how many of the atoms we have today are directly from the big bang?

someguy3,

I would consider a sun forming new atoms to not be atoms from the big bang.
