That reminds me of this guy they caught poaching sheep aruond here. Part of his sentence was that he wasn't allowed to use a computer for 10 years. Something about how he enjoyed playing Big Game Hunter or somesuch. Needless to say his defense attorney got that overturned.
People have been minimizing water usage for thousands of years. When NASA wants to know hot to minimize water usage on Mars they could either ask anyone who has lived in the desert, or they could ask one of these 9 "scientists". Of course that won't tell them anything about water conservation on Mars, just water conservation while playing hermit at the north pole.
I find it interesting that they didn't even bother to do things that they could do relatively easily, like force all communications to go through a buffer with a built in delay to simulate the distance, etc.
I hear great things about crossover office, and since crossover office costs money (making it inherently better as far as businesses are concerned) I think that if MS Office were the holdup then Linux should already be dominating.
Its more like making sure the format war doesn't end. Blu Ray has been kicking HD DVD in the rear of late (2:1 sales ratio), so at best this will just even things up so as to prolong our misery. Or prolong our good excuse not to blow several hundred dollars...
Is it possible to print from a flash app? Its an interesting idea, but one way or another I really don't see it happening. Anyway, flash isn't that big, I would definitely notice if they stuck an office suite in with it.
Agreed, I have feeds from Slashdot, xkcd and various news sites all on my google homepage, in addition to a sort of feed from my gmail inbox (it shows the 4 or 5 most recent messages I think). The layout remains relatively clean looking (it doesn't look like the vegas strip like yahoo), but yet there is enough neatly organized information on there to keep me relatively well informed as to what is going on in the world, whether it be a terrorist attack, my mothers latest gardening adventure, one of my servers catching fire, or Microsoft developing a new plan to enslave me.
I do something similar, but if the laptop happens to be off, or simply not connected to a network at the time that the cron job should go off it misses an entire day's backup. Is there any good solution to this? (ie, a simple way to force it to run the sync as soon as it does get a network connection or gets turned back on)
If OOXML is ratified as a standard I'm going to start distributing my source code in it. Of course I will be sure to use one of its undocumented "features" to make sure the code is totally inaccessible to anyone not using my proprietary text editor, which conveniently you can purchase for a mere $2k.
America has some problems, but I don' think we're to the point yet where they can arrest you on "suspicion of drunk driving" then use that to "forcibly take a blood sample". Of course maybe we are, I've never consumed a drop of alcohol in my life so I don't follow such things too closely y'know?
Except Apple has not 10, not 9, not 8 but zero of my favorite movies available on iTunes. iTunes is fine for music if you don't mind DRM (I have yet to find a track that I want that is DRM free), but I've ended up using Amazon Unbox for movies. Just don't run it in BootCamp, apparently the issues with the clock in windows can cause the movie to "expire" somewhat before its actual expiration date.
Just to clarify:
It means when you throw away in road surface, and the like are late with illegal parking and work, to apply the rubbish "hello the armband where the character like the kitty" is written over several days.
Anyway, how can money be "lost"? If some guy gets a virus while he is looking at porn, then I go and charge him $100 to fix his computer was $100 lost? Hell no, $100 was merely transferred into worthier hands... Well, maybe not, but you get my point.
The economically sound solution is for government to subsidize companies that meet certain standards. Good internet serves the common good, so correct the positive externality. Or something like that, its been a while since I took econ.
What I love is when you see a reporter riding around in a truck full of militants in Iraq/Afghanistan/*stan and the militants are firing mortars, RPGs and automatic weapons at people and the reporter is doing nothing. "Just covering the story, you know?"
But when it comes to something like accusing someone of being a pedophile then suddenly the reporters become law enforcement officers.

Er, you mean WMDs (Windows Media Discs) don't you?

I'd prefer to take the non-Microsoft one personally.

Does it run Linux?

You are right on the point in question, but I doubt the bit about installing XP more than 8 years ago since it came out less than 6 years ago.

I just use a V Chip for that.

Don't you mean paying for what they got?

Is this guy stupid, or has he never heard of Youtube?
Its been on the Wikipedia page about MSN for months anyway, maybe a year.
Er, is it just me, or does that include ever CD or DVD that they own? TrueCrypt here I come.
