My god, the bike seat has a space for your gigglestick and funberries. No more scrunchy balls.
I was once riding my bike and saw a pretty high curb. I thought I could just power up it, but instead my weight shifted forward. Back wheel picked up and I got anally probed by the banana seat. Then the back wheel came down and I knocked my nuggets on the bar.
I mean, with that seat, well... at least next time my bike rapes me, I might like it.
Great! Recall the troops from Afghanistan guys! The Yanks can handle it by themselves.
If we got out of Iraq, we sure as hell could handle Afghanistan ourselves. Let's focus more resources on the country that actually likes having us there, yes?
More importantly, a vote for McCain was a vote for Rove and friends. Rewarding them with another four years would have been interesting in a Chinese curse kind of way.
Oh son of a bitch, I can't believe this shit. Now we're even outsourcing our curses?!
That's good, but I was taught that the three facets of physical fitness were strength, flexibility, and endurance. The Wii might help you wiht Endurance (and maybe Strength, but I couldn't fathom how), but flexibility is sorely lacking.
Speaking of, if we're having support for 256 cores (which I don't feasibly see a desktop reaching for at least 20 years), how much RAM is there going to be support for?
I sure hope it's more than something like 32 gigs. If you can support an insanely high number, do it.
Then again, maybe having a lower number (like 16 gigs) would just be planned obsolescence on their part.
As an aside, is there any way to increase the 4GB RAM limit in XP Pro without upgrading to 64 bit edition?
How big is the install for the server stuff anyway? Honestly these days you can get a terabyte for something like USD$150. I'd be surprised that anyone would actually give a damn about a few extra gigs here and there being used by their OS.
Besides, wouldn't most of those features be compressed on the HD anyway unless they are installed? (As I understand it, "uninstalled" some Windows portions merely compresses the unwanted files on your hard drive to conserve space, but they're still there to reinstall.)
Please point me towards the OS that does everything excellently without compromise.
It doesn't exist, which is why a lot of people Dual Boot. If it weren't for the fact that I were such a hardcore gamer I'd probably be using Ubuntu over XP. And please, save yourselves the trouble of bringing up WINE, because someone will inevitably retort that WINE isn't perfect and many games run poorly, at lower FPS, and possibly with a myriad of other problems.
I love the idea behind Linux, but it won't be accepted by a large majority of people until it can do some of the most common tasks (Photoshop, more than a few PCs games, run legacy or odd software) without having to run an emulator that won't work perfectly.

Some guys have this sexual partners who don't particularly like to participate in oral sex.
The poor bastards...
And probably Italy, too.

Aw crap guys, Slashdot is getting existential. To arms, men! Ready the super soakers!
If it's not measurable, there's nothing to aim for and it'll forever just be a joke.
Crap, he's onto us guys! Everybody grab as many memes as you can carry and hop down to the bomb shelter!
And the Right Hand of God, the frisbee.
May its plastic, aerodynamic spirit bless us all.
Anyone who is even nominally literate knows exactly what "abridge" means today
That's one o' them thingies that lets a truck go over a river without gettin' all wet.

I cried....
I'm sure there were more than a few people crying, especially in the Republican party...

I actually laughed out loud. High-pitched, "I'm a one shot character on Hee Haw" laugh that had people looking at me weird. It owned.
Gold Five: Stay off topic.
Gold Leader: It's too close!
Gold Five: Stay off topic!
Gold Leader: Loosen up!
Gold Five: Gold Five to Red Leader, lost House, lost Senate.
Offhand, Project Blue Book?

I'm a divider, you insensitive clod!
BBC?
(This is where someone says they don't like the BBC because they have a British slant.)
Mike Godwin, huh? I guess he usually gets the last word in on a conversation.
And they handled the outlawing of hack tools how? Enlighten me, please.
But can't the fuel be reused over and over again until it's basically harmless?
It's only unclean if you stupidly only use it the one time as far as I understand the possibilities for usage of nuclear.

Truly, this is the year of BSD on the desktop.
I'd call it "mission accomplished."
So would the office furniture store that keeps selling replacement chairs to Microsoft.

Dual boot is for people with commitment issues.
Commitment issues? Excuse me?
