Why does that help the analogy? Because you can think of something in discrete parts? Look at it this way: I have a 10GB iPod. I have well over 20 GB of (legal) music (but very little of it purchased via iTMS). This means I can't keep all of my music on the iPod at one time - I have to make a decision what goes on it and what stays off. I could purchase another iPod, but eventually I'll exceed that one too (probably not by buying tunes off of iTMS, but you never know).
I can definitely say, you don't need a *book* to learn how to use this thing. You probably won't even need the tiny manual that comes with it.
Even my less-technical friends and family can use it without being told anything more than "this button chooses items, and the rest should be self-explanatory"
Use the audio player foobar 2000 and it's "diskwriter" plugin for the conversions. It's simple and provides support for more audio formats than you'll know what to do with.
I use Outlook for my personal email, and I'm strongly considering changing my mail client. Other than the security benefits of not automatically running scripts when viewing messages, can anyone who has switched to Thunderbird tell me what other features make this client a preferred choice to Outlook?
I'll politely add that open-source isn't enough to compel me to change, nor is bayesian filtering (I already use SpamBayes).
Thanks for your help, and really, I'm not trying to fan any flames!
As an apparent viewer, I'm surprised you don't remember when Stewart had Letterman on as a guest (I believe it could have been the last show). Dave praised Jon and the show, and imparted the wisdom that "cancellation does not equate to failure".
Unless you feel that David Letterman's morning sho lasted long enough for everyone to realize Dave's lack of talent or insight.
Laptop backpacks (to me) just announce "I have an expensive laptop, and I think I'm smarter than you thieves by putting it into this expensive backpack"
One thing to consider when comparing servers to workstations is support. Yes, you can build a raid-5 array (probably not hot-swappable, if it's IDE, but I digress), but what are you going to do if something on the motherboard burns out? Ordering overnight from Newegg might seem fast now, but buying a server with a support plan might have someone at your door 24/7 with replacement parts.
How much will your company loose if this server is completely offline for two days? How much less does that server cost now?
That's why my friends and I used to joke that Tetris was worse than crack. At least with crack, you'd bottom out at some point. Most of us were playing copies of someone else's game anyway, so we didn't even pay money in the beginning.
Boy, I guess I'm dating myselfy by using Tetris and crack references...
Does anyone even remotely believe that children (let's say those under 25 still covered uner their parent's insurance) drive as responsibly as they might tell their parents?

Think about it. If the OS is constantly plagued by problems, MS can charge users to keep their systems patched. If they combine the virus defs along with windowsupdate fixes, then they've created a revenue stream that takes some of the burden off of the release date for Longhorn.
You obviously don't have (or haven't noticed) a headphone jack on the ATMs. I personally haven't used it, but I suspect this is the solution to "how is a blind person supposed to know what's on the screen?"
Posting a reminder on slashdot for (U.S.-based) readers to vote is not reminding you because the readers don't have the capacity themselves, it's actually the least it can do for to back up all of its pretending to care about issues ("YRO" and every knee-jerk of DMCA criticism).
That's right, I said "pretending", because while it's a right of all U.S. citizens to participate in their governing bodies, voting is often the only thing they might do to exert any influence. When did you last write your local representatives? Give time or money to a cause you believe in? Sat in on a local school board meeting? hmm?
As phrased much more eloquently by others: If you don't (or didn't) vote on election day - don't bitch.

"less is more"
Slashdot will still not have a Cringely category, even though nearly every week his stories get greenlighted.
I don't see anything original in the Willy Wonka trailer. I'm sure it will make a boatload of money when the DVD is released.
I can't see any reason to spend several thousand dollars to make an OS run like one available for $200 or less.
Be sure to complain how much the built-in firewall sucks when you didn't spend the extra $40 on a hardware solution.

Jeez-a-lou, could you at least not posted the Final Jeopardy question/answer in the summary of the piece?

Be sure to donwnload the special installer, for the most ease-of-use.

Why not get a padded sleeve that you can put into any bag? Here's one example, but I'm sure there are others.

It was a David Mamet story filmed for TNT.

Gabriel has always been into technology, but I believe Genesis' involvement with Vari*Lite http://www.vari-lite.com/index.php?src=gendocs&lin k=Company&category=Main came long after his departure.

Any suggestions I would give are probably covered there.
When has iPod been used as a verb? Seems pretty clearly to be a noun to me.
This product suggests people will say something like "I want to plug my iPod into my BMW", not "My BMW can now iPod my tunes to me".

Or, maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight.

The intro quotes this as happening in Seattle 3 years ago...can anyone provide evidence?
No, I haven't searched with Google. I didn't make the allegation.
I disagree.
