I already switched to Ubuntu... and I keep my lil' XP going in a Sun VirtualBox, just in case I ever need it. I was using it for iTunes and SyncToy, but I haven't even done that in weeks.
That being said, I'll be getting a new system after 7 comes out just so I can learn it. My company has already said we're skipping Vista, so it's just a matter of time before I have to upgrade all the systems here from XP to 7... and I'll need to be able to support it! Yay.
Wish I could talk management into Ubuntu, but we have too many M$ developers that (say they) can't switch.
They should have a service like this for religious people. Religious nutcase addicts are far more dangerous than some dude that plays warcraft all day or something.
A new iPod built by my company plays a few songs. The battery flares up. The iPod explodes and burns the person wearing it. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of iPods in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
I fit into his assumption. I have a PS3 on a 40" 1080p LCD HD-TV, and I rent new release Blu-ray from Netflix to see if I want to buy them. Netflix has saved me quite a bit since I learn which Blu-ray are NOT worth buying.
I do have a PC hooked up the same HD-TV and will stream Netflix "on demand" movies, too... but I'm really liking the extra features on some of the Blu-ray movies now! A picture-in-picture commentary is pretty cool! But like many others, I do have a vast collection just stored on hard drive... and a USB-to-IDE/SATA so that I can watch those with my PS3, too.
But I am only one. . . maybe not enough for an assumption.

Damnit. I was hoping to move to Australia one day, and I'm an IT worker. Maybe New Zealand will still have me.
I see you got marked "Troll" there, but I personally think this is fzcking genius!
56.5% is "most"? Since when is "most" just over half?

Thank you for stating the obviousness that so many other of our Slashdot brethren are apparently being completely WHOOOSHED by!

Hey, we should use devices like this to get children used to the idea of being watched constantly. . .
Then, when they are adults, they won't mind Big Brother watching every little thing they do. It's for their safety, after all!

I wish I had mod points to award you... I really do.
I want you to say:
Lack of gain

INSANE!!
fifty times. You'll get much further with the Lord if you learn not to offend His ears. ;)
Wow! Logic-fail!
Why would any of the followers of Islam fly to their deaths or blow themselves up if their religion was a lie?
Why would Christian American soldiers be ready to die for God and country (and oil) if it was a lie?
Why do all the people in insane asylums believe they are Napoleon or Jesus if it's JUST A LIE?!
Why do you lie?

It probably would if you lived there.
I mean... uhm... YAY! The C64 didn't make the list!!

I set up the joke, but I get no points... Ah, well.
What's a Duckworth?
And I would like to open the Texas franchise!

If you want the train to take you past Topeka, you have to beat it in a riddle contest. One sure-fire winning riddle:
How did the dead baby cross the road?
Answer: It was stapled to the chicken!!
Now who wants to ride on Blaine, the insane train? I know I do!

Okay, I'll live on the block with 10 guilty guys, and you can be the one innocent man going to butt-rape prison. That works for me.
am going back to see it AGAIN! This time at an IMAX!!!
Is misspelling it a part of the joke?

Looks like the Xian Slashdotters are out in force today. Ah, well. Maybe we should've suggested some Kirk Cameron books instead?
