since I get over 20 miles to the gallon, it would caot me 1.60 for that. Cheaper then the mass transit.
Don't forget to factor in ongoing maintenance costs, insurance costs, and any other related incidentals. Gas is not the only fluid you have to put in your car. Do you pay for parking at work? A lot of folks have to. Have your car paid off yet? How much do you pay a month for that?
Not to get on your case, but there are a lot of other expenses associated with driving that folks forget about when discussing transportation costs.
The picture of Ballmer in that article is priceless: all he needs is a shiny helmet and a big picture of the Bill "Our Undying Leader" Gates projected on the screen behind him.:)
That and electricity arcing between his outstretched hands as he creepily intones "De. Velop. Ers."
I wish Beethoven was still alive and finished the lyrics!
Unfortunately, if he were, the lyrics would certainly be something along the lines of "AUGGHH! I'M BURIED ALIVE!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!" which, I'm sure you will agree, would just depress the hell out of everybody.

Through the end of October, Sony had sold just 1.6 million of the devices after the first days' sales flurry.
Erm, what? How many have they sold? And when? According to the wikipedia article they have sold 10 million units worldwide through October 21st, 4.5 million in the US alone.
(This isn't a comment on whether those are disappointing numbers or not, just that the quoted sentence was pretty unhelpful.)
But yes, nobody complains except when Microsoft does stuff like this. Goofy.
Except there are people complaining about it right now, including yourself, so you've all managed to undo your collective point.;)
What's even goofier is that in OS X, as far as I can figure, "show file extension" is a file-specific flag, not a user-specific flag. Unless I'm missing something, it's impossible to get OS X to show file extensions on all files all the time.
Eleksen company executives said the washable fabric can also withstand extreme pressure; they've rolled a car over it without any ill effects....with someone wearing the suit at the time? Mmmm, not so much.;)
WHen I buy a game, every facet of that game should be available to me, if I have the skill to achieve it. It should *NOT* require me to spend additional money to attain.
You're assuming supplying the one precludes supplying the other. The Western natures are rich beyond the dreams of avarice; we could do it all, or at least make the attempt, if we were willing. And that is the truly sad part -- not that MIT wants to supply laptops.
...there's something quite heartwarming and familiar about the original game and its very specific choices, the sublime stainless steel refrigerator, the Henry Moore-esque statue, and that handy dandy little burglar alarm.
...the kitchens set on fire and all the exits suddenly missing, the swimming pools with all the ladders suddenly missing, the bathrooms with the door suddenly missing...;)
Mozilla developers are already addressing this issue. The Mozilla Foundation recently published an initial roadmap for 'Lightning', the project to integrate its calendar application Sunbird with its email application Thunderbird.
Soooo, it's not so much that there's any hindering going on. And like the Magic 8 Ball, Ask Again Later.
Me, I like to turn off emoticons. However, some folks like 'em. You can find all kinds of emoticon sets (not to mention Dock Icons, Sound Sets, Contact List and Message View Styles, AppleScripts, Status Icons, etc.) at http://www.adiumxtras.com/
Why would this automatically be different to SciFi stories for Teenage Boys?
Didn't your school have the Special Assemblies where the girls and boys were separated and watched the different films? Well, the girls watched The Abyss and the Boys watched Predator.;D

Don't worry, I think the "buttnakedbroadcasting.blogspot.com" in your sig indicates you're still safely ensconced in the strange-hobby camp.

You're confusing shipped with sold
:)
You're right, I did mis-read that in the Wiki article. The sentence I referred to above is still confusing as hell though.

Correlation does not imply causation. It's not just a saying: it's the law! :)

Not a big MMORPG fan I take it?
Lame.

The Finder seems snappier, though.
This isn't precisely a secret, however, and hasn't been for the months since it was introduced. :)

including all of seasons four and five and all but one of season five -- a record-breaking achievement.

I can see why no one had ever been able to do that before!
Gotta be a record.

How to confuse a line of ants.
...
0) Locate ants. This part is important.
1) Lick a finger. Normally yours, but hey if you talk somebody into it, go forth and conquer.
2) Draw the moistened digit (which sounds way worse than it is) perpendicularly across the ant trail.
3) Watch in amusement as the ants wander around in a confused crowd, trying to regain the trail.
4) Have a brief existential crisis regarding if the Universe wipes a moistened digit across humanity from time to time.
5)
6) Profit!

I haven't found out how to disable logging,
Preferences > General > uncheck "Log Messages"
and it's somewhat buggy.
Well, currently it is a 0.86 beta.
How do you Grok that?
;)
You don't. You try to track down your karass and work out the wampeter.
If you could combine features from all of the IM clients out there, what would they be?

Adium?
Because, FUD is FUN
Fear, Uncertainty, and Noogies? Nougat? Necromancy?
