Just wait till they do the same thing with TV/phone:
Hundreds of channels*
Free unlimited long distance**
*If you watch your TV more than 20 hours a month we'll cut you off
**As long as you don't place a lot of really long distance calls. Then we'll throttle them so you only get every 3rd word
The transcript of his speech writing is said to be:
Dear Aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all Historians are still trying to determine the meaning, if any.
The smaller, older bones represent people who were 3 to 4 feet (94 to 120 centimeters) tall and weighed between 70 and 90 pounds (32 and 41 kilograms), according to the paper. They found a grade 5 classroom?
We're in a two bedroom apartment and our computer stuff is in the living room. I have two towers (one an old beige one, and the other a giant Thermaltake Xazer III with a side window) connected via KVM with an open spot for computers I'm working on when moonlighting as a tech for small businesses in the evening.
If big towers and lots of cables are an issue, I'm in for a big fight. -.-
Ouch, you have to take your wife to get technical stuff? I run into that buying cars, but technical stuff is all me. She gets to pick the drapes/sheets etc without my input, I get to do the computers without her's. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Actually I just got married in July. I'm a colorblind programmer/analyst and my wife's a grade school teacher. I'll give you 1 guess which one of us looks after the aesthetic stuff.:-)
I think of a laptop is a tool, so aesthetics really aren't something I care about. The Thinkpad is solid and rugged. I'll take that over pretty any day.
Quote from a Zimbra employee in that thread:
The OSS version of Zimbra is just that, Open Source. Whatever happens there should be no change in that status. The joy of OSS is that if Microsoft/Yahoo discontinue support of Zimbra, someone else can pick it up. If there's a paid "corporate" version, I'm sure a company picking up would include support to migrate. I know that isn't ideal, but it isn't a reason for mass panic either.
While it's not a direct port of FF1.0, it is still using the same core and it is still going to incorporate tabbed browsing. I -love- tabbed browsing on my desktop, but I'm dubious about how practical it would be on a hand held device. From my experience with FF2.0 on my desktop, tabbed browsing is at the root (or at least a major part) of a lot of the memory issues.
This prompted me to go look up that game. It was http://www.klov.com/C/Crazy_Climber.htmlcrazy climber. I remember trying to explain to my wife that I played a game where the objective was to climb a building while avoiding bird crap and falling flower pots. At least now I can prove I wasn't going crazy (about this at least).
I feel old posting this but you're right. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64. 40% market share in around '83-'85. There's also the VIC-20 which was its predecessor that I had http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_VIC-20. First microcomputer to sell one million units. I remember having a wall climbing game on it that I played for days on end.
Put in a gyro and a directional laser and a computer to control it all and you're good to go. This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
I don't think even Microsoft could make an implementation of OOXML in a clean room without using any of their other source code. I agree. They can't even get HTML/CSS right and it's a truly open standard. Their chances of implementing their own crap semi-closed standard would be even worse.
Also I'd bet you need some sort of networking to coordinate the robots. Probably wireless. I agree. Let's do it centrally. We can name the hub skynet. Or V.I.K.I.
Jews in the death camps were not given any information about the war, their future... You managed to Godwin a thread on Geiger counters by the 3rd post. That's got to be some kind of record...
Call me paranoid, but there's no way on earth any sane person would just plug in meat.com expecting (hoping?) to find steaks on an internet full of porn (which it was even back then). I'm just going to type in gloryhole.com and see if it's a site on glass blowing... AH GOD MY EYES!!
What's the right age for a kid to start playing games? It depends on the kid and the game TBH. If the kid is socially inept, giving them another means of entertainment that doesn't involve human interaction (Assuming the kid isn't playing online games, which they shouldn't be) could just worsen that in them. Some games could do the opposite for them though. When I was 12ish one of my favourite games was Mario Cart. We'd get a few friends together, have tournaments etc. It was a very sociable experience.
Do you see games as more or less acceptable than traditional kid pastimes like TV or reading? It depends on what TV they're watching, what books they're reading and what video games they're playing. Some TV shows are nothing but mind numbing crap with no learning value that I wouldn't want my (future) kid watching. Home and Garden, TLC, Discovery and such networks have great programming that can be both entertaining and enriching for a kid. Some books are complete crap, while some stimulate imagination and thought process. Games are no different. I was very much into RPG games from a young age, and while my mother thought they were worthless fantasy they offered a wealth in knowledge. They involved a lot of reading (All the early ones I played were text based...), and learning something like D&D 2nd Ed could help a physics professor get better at crunching numbers.
Does it matter if the parents are gaming-savvy? Very much so. Being gaming savvy means that at the very least I understand the different genres of games and what they offer (both good and bad). I know what the ESRB ratings are that buying a kid an "M" rated game is retarded (Sorry Bioshock parents: M for Mature for "Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language" means you shouldn't get it for little Timmy when he wants it for Christmas. Learn to read labels.)
Too late. All the tickets were bought by automated systems within the first.2 seconds. You'll now need to get them from a reseller charging $25,000. Still not bad when you consider Hannah Montana tickets are $1,000,000 + your next child.

And Fox news is seen rolling their eyes saying, "We've got this trademarked already."
Lenovo and Thinkpad are not one and the same. Lenovo now makes Thinkpads, but they also make their own brand as well:

Microsoft is reporting excellent news from SP1 users. Some users are reporting:
- 100% guaranteed virus protection
- Increased data security
- Greatly decreased network overhead
Reports indicate these improvements are accompanied by a slight increase in boot load time.We're in a two bedroom apartment and our computer stuff is in the living room.

Yeah. Slashdotters are being asked to:
1) RTFA
2) Have first hand knowledge of the subject
3) Make a reasoned, non-biased post/article on the subject
Talk about a dead end.
