Honest question: Why do planets allways orbit the sun as if they were in a 2D environment? What is causing them to all orbit on one flat plane? It seems odd that at least one or two aren't orbiting in different angles. Does this have anything to do with the shape of our universe?
I think that many people would happily pay for an operating system just to avoid the ads.
If the day ever comes where I have to choose between paying to use an adless operating system and using one with built-in advertising, that's the day I turn off the computer for good.
Yeah, I'm thinking a transamhuman would be cooler. Huge phoenix tattoo on the chest. Singing "East Bound And Down" as loud and twangy as possible. Noxious "emissions" from the back end.
The sheer weight of identical chair jokes in this thread will cause slashdot to implode and become a black hole.
Actually, now that black holes don't exist, Slashdot will become a MECO, eject all of the jokes at near lightspeed, and reform what's left of the servers as a debris ring.
For those who are not paticularly literate there is the image of a foot at the top of the page above the text of the article to indicate that it is a joke. Moving the mouse pointer over the foot gives you some text that lets you know that it is a joke. For those that are more literate there is also link to the article. For those that can't bother to spend the time to notice either of these things there also appears to be the option to fly off the handle, demand the sacking of all of the editors and look like a complete idiot.
Really? Because if you have the/. preference to display those icons turned off (or have images not displaying for some other reason), all you get is a bit of linked text that says "[ It's funny. Laugh. ]" in the midst of a crapload of ads, links, and other/. textual folderol.
I'm not going to buy a Wii or any other console in this next generation, but I want the Wii to do very well since I think the technology and fun-aspect of it are very exciting. The "Wiimote" is pretty darn cool, and they seem to be interested in user-experience more than anybody else.
How dare you insert facts and reasoning into this debate?! What do you think this is, a reasonable discussion?! Our watchwords are Fear! Uncertainty! Doubt! And most especially Terrorrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Especially because we can then hit you up twice for your OS! Whoo hoo!
Oh, and 800 MHz is under the "Vista Capable PC Logo" column, which also says 512 MB RAM and neglects to list anything under Graphics Memory and HDD space. A 56K modem is capable of getting me on the Internet, too, but I wouldn't want to try to actually do anything with it.
Steve Jobs's giant wallscreen sparkles to life. A visibly pale and shaken Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg appears with a panicked situation room full of Norwegian officials behind him.
"Ah, Prime Minister, good," Jobs says with a trademarked smile. "I see you got our little message. Let's finish our chat about DRM regulations...."
The amount of deaths under Stalin and Mao make religion-motivated slayings in the 20th century seem insignificant in comparison.
The case could be made that they only substituted one kind of bureaucratic+hierarchical religion for a bureaucratic+hierarchical personality-cult. Too-powerful ideological organizations run by the all-too-human are the problem, not the labels on those bureaucracies.

If we never died, we'd never evolve.

While this might be true, it is also much more likely that we'd never evolve if we never reproduced.

And for the inevitable legal troubles down the road, ADMIT.

even though the beer itself obviously comes from an over hydrated horse with sugar (ok, I added that last bit myself).
Let me get this straight -- are you saying they *don't* give sugar to the beer horse?

So why won't you be buying a Wii?
