Back in the old days, the thing stayed like new in a cave all through the old west era till 1950 something. They don't make 'em like they used to. How will my the new model do when they kill me in the 1500s and I leave it for future versions of myself to go back and rescue me? Will it still work?
When something like this happens, normally hundreds of squirrels are released. I guess the rest are still roaming around gathering data. Better get my tinfoil hat on and have the slingshot handy.
For new, casual users a laptop is great, because it's over all simpler to use. But for us nerds who must have a media server, upgrade frequently, hack and costumize the poor thing to death, a desktop is best. Maybe it's true that laptops will take over the over all market for normal users, but the desktop will remain as long as I'm around! Heck, we're keeping the Amiga alive, what makes them think we won't keep the desktop alive?
Microsoft says the study is not representative of what it's hearing from its customers.
In fact, the businesses that signed up for lifelong contracts don't even call to complain anymore. And looking deeper, MS notices they're not calling at all!
I think it's kinda like how I keep my old subscription to that one lame magazine because it's impossible to cancel.
Don't all massively cloned beings end up rebelling against their creators? When do we become dry food, ball throwing slaves whose only job is to amuse our canine overlords?
Imagine going to the same store the second time... "Oh no, not the goatse guy again! Let's not keep him here too long, just fix his computer the right way and send him away!"
NOw imagine meeting one of the geek squad while you're out shopping with your grandma, "Yo, goatse man! How's it going!" How would you ever explain to grandma how you got that funny nickname? Sounds like a double edged sword to me. Yet so tempting....
So why would anyone buy one of these things from them?
Most the time those things from big companies are printed in high quality glossy paper and look so nice! Maybe they could be framed and set up for display.
I hear he is the son of an Lebanese immigrant and a Mexican woman. From the wikipedia: "His father, Julián Slim Haddad Aglamaz, a Lebanese Christian from Jezzine, moved as a teenager to Mexico City in 1902."
I'd like to take that last comment and stick it right in front of my eyes... I better get studying my writing to learn at least how to spell words such as "studying". And over use of the three periods seems a problem for me also...
Just like a person who knows nothing about math or science can pass the test if they study hard enough, I believe he can pass those tests... if he gets his homework done and studies hard. As long as he's declared over 60% sane it'll be fine and he'll go on living the same...

I've been a fan of ancient public domain music for a while now. I hope they are kind enough to post these on a website for our listening pleasure.
Looks like modern times have made the inquisition a fair system, and now the commoner can burn the inquisitor at the stake.
Welcome our new dupe overlords. Soon we'll have enough to make a beowulf cluster of them.
Run for your life, the ancient ones have arrived!

He's looking for a person just for him, you insensitive clod!
"As of this moment we have no secret agent. He has acted alone and is trained to claim so to his bitter death. Fetch me some muffins now."
Nothing to see here, move along.

Here I was thinking what I'd be doing for the next hour, and up comes this article! I'll get researching the history of the CD-ROM! Wooohooo! Thanks /.
You can, as long as you figure out a way not to get caught by their spyware.
What about us non-dominant feminist sympathizing males, you insensitive clod!
I for one welcome our air-propelled tricycle riding overlords.
