Very cool! Thank you, Marc, and congratulations!
Um... I noticed, the following fine print:

Does that mean if I, like, crash the operating system on the Curiosity Mars rover because of something I learned from you, I can't go after the contents of your bank account?
Just checking...
Cheers,

That is quite correct. But given the paltry condition of my bank account, you might be better off blaming the Martians.

Congrats Marc.
I'm just on writing my 5th book for the series now (Should be done by the end of this week), not allowed to say in public just yet what it is.
I felt pretty much the same when my GIS one was first published, less so when number 2 (PostgreSQL) but actually strangely jubilant when Number 3 (Twitter Bootstrap V2) was released.
Book 4 (Twitter Bootstrap V3) will appear sometime soon I hope, with number 5 probably early next year.
Any plans to do another?

Wow it looked so real it made me hungry.

I've got a 47" LG I've turned on maybe 3 times this year just to be sure it still works. We don't have cable and I don't have game consoles so there's not reason to turn it on.

I have cable but that's a total ripoff... but watching movies at home is nice with a decent sized tv and surround sound.

Agree, I have a laptop hooked up to the TV with intentions of watching NetFlix but just haven't done it yet.
Got to much going on right now to fool with it.

At that size and resolution, the average person would have to sit about a meter away to resolve all of the pixels. Any further away and you have more pixels than you can actually see, so I reckon 4K is where it's going to stop for home entertainment. Unless you get an 8K projector and a big screen, but at that point you should start charging admission and sell popcorn in the hallway.

I was thinking along those lines.
They should stop this dick measuring competition after settling on some resolution, and work harder on achieving teleporting people instead.

An Idaho State University professor accidentally shot himself in the foot in the middle of teaching class when a gun in his pocket went off Tuesday afternoon. I think I saw this in a cartoon once.
The thing is, he was lucky. There are some high value "targets" to hit when you discharge a gun in your pocket.

I would ask why a University professor is carrying a gun in his pocket, but then I realized, given that this is in the US, it's a silly question.

Must be a Liberal Arts teacher. Anyone qualified to teach anything real would be smart enough to not put it in one's pocket cocked and loaded. It's unfortunate that the event didn't take out the bits that let him reproduce.

I dunno a liberal arts prof might melt if they ever saw a gun let alone touched one.

I don't know if this is a dumb question. Hope its not.
If you have a 1 licence Microsoft Office 2013 and you reformat the computer is it okay to re-install the application.
