Same thing happened with Win2K/Windows XP on the Live! cards. Creative never bothered to issue working drivers for the cards or the LiveDrive that allowed use of all the features, and the KX Project happened. It's pretty simple, don't bother with their hardware, the most compatible thing they ever produced was the SoundBlaster 16 and everything from there has been a support nightmare.
SAP isn't so much a finished application as a license for the vendor to bleed you dry with "special" modules supposedly tailored to your business. In one way, Microsoft software doesn't fit that model (i.e. SAP isn't just a shrink wrapped product like Office). In another way, the endless bleeding of your tech dollars while your practices are changed to match the (in)capabilities of SAP would suit their revenue requirements perfectly. The real problem is that SAP is probably too labour intensive for a company like Microsoft.
Game Boy. Dead right.
It's the only console I've consistantly bought over the years. Counting back, we had an example of every major new variant - not bought to intentionally keep up, just because we wanted one. I've still got a b&w gameboy original, we lost our first gameboy colour to thieves, we have a Gameboy advance and also a DS. In that time, only an original playstation, then a playstation2 interrupted things. I was all set on a ps3 waiting for the price to drop but they lost me when backwards compatibility disappeared (we have lots of ps1 and ps2 games here, but not so many places to plug consoles in).
Yup. Gameboy, in all it's variants, just too easy in cars, on planes, for little kids etc.
No - Lamarck fabricated most of his results. Different levels of gene expressions have been known about since the start of genetics itself, usually they are accounted for via statistics (gene expression as a probability rather than a certainty). The environmental effects on genetics are very different from Lamarckian concepts. It's more unexpressed potential, rather than a primarily environmental driven process the Russians thought they had uncovered.
...and much cheaper than iTunes.
Go get it. If you sign up, you can get it for nix in your free downloads. I downloaded it, not so much because I like McCartney, but to say in a way thanks for bypassing the normal ripoff channels for music aka At least he isn't that fatuous twit Bono.
You shouldn't know what label an artist is on? Music geeks would beg to differ. From Motown, to Atlantic or Stax, or Creation, or IRS, Matador or Bloodshot, labels were and are important as a guide to what to expect.
I suspect the indie revolution that's happening is what is really scaring EMI - if everybody who bought a Dixie Chicks record heard Neko Case, they wouldn't sell another record or download. In some ways I hope emusic is unsuccessful in obtaining EMI's catalog - all the EMI dross will make it that much harder to dig the gems out of emusic.
Opposite in my case. Only I switched to a bicycle (in this particular small town, the roads are very quiet making cycling easy and fun). Plus, you can go for a jog in your lunchtime in the beautiful country side - I think your friend was just lazy.

They do, they are, and you're too old and crusty too notice it, boomertard.
Just to make it funny again.

At least it's not dogs and cats living together.
