When Thomas Watson worked there they used all sorts of bully tactics to squash the competition.
Then the directors were to be thrown in jail but went on a big PR drive and raised money for US flood victims and avoided the slammer.
you can read about that here: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Watson
He joined Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co which he changed to IBM. Watson foresaw the empire building of the Nazis and made a nice business model by having European census data collected by IBM ready for when the Nazi occupation arrived and leasing them Hollerith machines to process it. You didn't think they regimented the lives and deaths millions of people with pencil and paper now did you?

These things seem so far away but we are still dealing with the consequences of these actions. I'm sure you all know someone who was in the fighting. Millions of people were killed, many by virtue of having hole 12 punched in their card.
Census data had been given to previous government who mainly saw value in being able to manage their economy with real numbers. The new landlords used the data for whatever they liked and they liked killing people.
That's why I don't want my biometric data kept somewhere
It might sound daft but imagine in 100 years time when you are on the train to the deathcamp because "your grandfather clearly states his religion as "Jedi" in the 2001 census".
Because 1/4 Juden was all it took.
If that's not related to YRO I don't know what is.
It can't be easy to get things done if you keep going into slow motion to get round corners, I imagine it's quite tiring.
Plus the guy must still be quite freaked out his wife and kid getting killed like that, poor guy. I bet his wrestling career will perk up a bit now. All he needs to do is drug McMahons dog and film himself fucking it in the ass or something, that will set up the big fight and Triple X can bring on one of those rubber fists and beat him to death with it right there in the ring.
I run 2048x1536 and although I have my environment sorted out wrt menu text reading, the web is a bit of nightmare at times.
Thank goodness for Mozillas Minimum font size so I can read the darn text but so many sites break if you change the fontsize. It's not like non IE users don't have enough to cope with.
I'll be honest and say that sometimes it's quite difficult to code for as Mozilla's & IE differing rules regarding text resizing from their own menus.
I wouldn't turn down my resolution though, 80 columns of 1.5cm high text is lovely for writing.
Now if only I could make text-areas bigger I could see what I was typing to/.
Crucify me if you wish, but XP is not, nor remotely related to, Win 98.

My 13 yo says TR stopped being fun when they dropped the training level and now you can't kill Lara in her own home.

two desktops renowned for good user interfaces
better to reign in hell than serve in heaven
cos xbox & ps2 pirate games make more money than pc pirate games
it would just be the end
Maybe now one company's had the balls to actually go ahead and do this
"the upcoming hybrid strategy game"
they've had the balls to announce it and we've heard it all before
someone in the world has a brain
I'm pretty sure it isn't me

typical science reporting
"sceintists say that this break though could eventually lead to X"
often with now logical path from A to X.
that would be "Escape from New York" then
wonder how many of those ps2s were in the living room of heavy smokers?
one great way to jam up your components would be to have a fan blowing electrically conducting tar across your motherboard
the ps2 under the tv must take a bit of a battering
If I was paying £50,000 for a desktop computer and it crashed once due to buggy code I'd want my money back.

If I buy a car I own a car.
If I bought a car from Microsoft I would be buying the legal right to drive that car.
A subtle difference.
But the only defect I can argue about in the latter would be in the licence agreement.
An amazing set of hoodwinks.
