Internet Explorer is like that old, dirty slut that really isn't worth spending your time with.
Some people decide they'll be on the safe side by "Condoming Up" and turning security all the way up.
But when they get rashes of popup ads, and sore security holes, they realize that IE is a tired lay that not only lacks the finesse and technique of younger variants, but leaves you wanting your money back.
Even though you didn't pay anything... Bastards. You just wanted to surf the net with IE, and BANG!!! Next thing you know you have a Windows infection.
Why save humanity? Why not shoot our DNA off into space and hope that some alien race clones us?
Either that, or hope that when we go bye-bye, the next smart Earth race brings us back Jurassic Park style in hopes there's a storm and we escape our cages.
Does anyone find it funny that Nvidia starts releasing parts late after they acquire 3dfx? It's like 3dfx ate some poisonous small company that ended up disagreeing with them. When Nvidia ate 3dfx, they were poisonous and disagreed with them too...
In all seriousness, I really do want nvidia to succeed, and I'm not an ATI fanboy but...
By the time nv30 comes out, ATI will most likely have a.13 micron ddr-ii part to counter it. They most likely won't drop their 256 bit interface either...
He who releases a press release first is not he who wins.
All those computers that meet Doom3's system requirements...
... And they're used for trivial things like finding aliens, weather prediction and unified theory.
The weatherman is usually wrong.
Aliens are abducting us. We need to send radio signals to Fife, Alabama, not out into space.
Unified Theory is based on Heisenburg's stuff... You can have relativity and quantum mechanics... but not both at the same time. Damn, that guy was a genius. By the way, the unified theory is:
e = 42;// always 42.
Of course, I'm sure Doom3 has this somewhere in its source code, so ummm... go crunch 40 TFLOPS on that;)
Lima even tried to persuade his assistant to get an Apple tattoo for a photo shoot. She refused, opting for a temporary one instead. "She's only just been exposed (to Macs)," he said. "I think in a couple of years she will go for it."
I bet if you get Ellen Feiss stoned enough, she'll be willing to get the Tat..
3,000 dollars for something that has 2 gig of ram. I could get 2 gig of ram for a fraction of that amount... In fact, for the speed its giving, I could fill the thing up with sdram or edo ram...
This is something I could imagine being useful with my hard drive... Why don't they make a standard plugin for hard drives... Make it where you can add cache directly to the hard drive.
But wouldn't it be better to just have RAM instead of this?
Not if you're going to go over 4 gig. You'd then need a 64 bit solution for that... If, on the other hand, you could add MAJOR amounts of cache to your hard drive, it wouldn't matter if you only had 4 gig of actual memory. You could run IA-32 as long as you like. You could have potentially gigantic databases without worrying as much about disk thrashing...
It's going to be potentially a long time until a 64 bit winner in the PC world is declared... As time goes on, something like this may actually be viable. And as memory prices go down, we're going to be seeing a lot more 4 gig systems around...
The more time an office worker toils in front of a computer, the more likely he or she is to suffer a host of physical, mental and sleep-related ills, Japanese researchers report.
Yeah, and if I go out and have sex, I am more likely to catch the clap or something like that...
I feel celibate enough by visiting this site 20 times a day. I feel pathetic enough oggling over female slashdotters who get karma points. Now you wanna take away my 21" CRT to boot.

And the coolest thing about it is that I did it 3 years ago when I actually read the book.

I can imagine Manu Intiraymi (Icheb) 10 years from now selling "I'm Patrick Fucking Stewart" Shirts on his website.
Or if someone from Enterprise makes "I'm Jeri Fucking Ryan" shirts... If I ever stop browsing slashdot and get a girlfriend, I'll buy her one ;)

I like the sound of that.
It would! I always wondered what that frog in FROGGER would have said as he/she was getting splattered while crossing the road.
In other, vital, important news
Sticking your finger in an electrical socket MAY cause electrocution.
Smoking MAY cause cancer.
That "woman" you were cybering with in that chat room where you gave out your email was a spammer.
She was an underage spammer, at that. (ha ha)
Pfft, frenchmen... I may be a geek, but I don't need any artificial means to be bulging.
You'd have a core meltdown that's hotter and does more damage than most nuclear weapons.

So in response, will the US violently ban Crocodile Hunter from TV? God I hope so...
I bet if you get Ellen Feiss stoned enough, she'll be willing to get the Tat..
I bet Apple would even pay for the ganja, too...

I'd hate to end up missing something like this and instead be out having meaningless sex...
Oh yes, Scotty Beamed me Twice last night... it was wonderful..

You were bored so you decided to do some kung fu.
I'm can now imagine some guy running around with a gun shooting people, then the sprint guy comes up and goes:
You were bored, so you decided to play a little doom.
I bet that'll be a BIG hit in Columbine. </sarcasm>
