Kids are going to pull the thing apart, whether it was intended to be done or not.
Kids being able to put the thing back together again in a working state shows that thought has been given to the design to make it kid-proof (or at least kid-resistant.)
The Vista Hardware Compatibility List claims to need IE6 or later; apart from some minor rendering issues, it worked fine with spoofed Firefox.
(What kind of moron would make a list IE-only, anyway??)
It's just as well we're running out of oil, because the motor industry clearly has run out of new ideas... (New Mini, new Beatle, new Fiat 500, new Ford GT40 etc.) At least it will save them the embarrassment of a new Leyland PT76, Ford Pinto etc.
You've obviously never worked in tech support, or you'd know that You Must Never Say "hit".
And never say "bounce" (power cycle) your computer, unless you want the manager to lift the computer several inches off the desk and drop it... Really.
A true GPS position broadcasting system would eliminate the need for a ground radar.
Call me old-fashioned, but I'd prefer Mode S with a ground radar. Without some form of ground truth to confirm the GPS broadcasts, what's to prevent spoofing of signals (triggering false collision warnings etc.) by "terrorists"?

How about some consistent naming standards? There's no "Discussion2" or "D2" option in preferences - it's "Slashdot's New Discussion System Testing".
This is great stuff, finally we can kill people and go all out to be very environmental about it.
Soylent Green?
Dams silt up.
Basically the guy is saying he does not want tech savvy users to access his site.
You mean like this site?
Do you have any idea the effect you're having on the american economy by not viewing the '510,000$ mortgage for $1491' ads?
Given the current jitters on Wall Street due to the loans crisis, not clicking on these links is probably a good thing.
For cleaning vegetables anyway, a mild vinegar solution killed more bacteria on the surface of vegetables than did soap.
It also tastes a lot better.
Schrodinger was Canadian?!

931GB should be enough for anyone...
Why do I have a mental picture of "The Godfather" or "Goodfellas" when I hear a request to respect Microsoft?
"Nice operating system you have here, Mr. Torvalds. Be a shame if anything were to happen to it."
So what did Microsoft gain with the Vista GDI changes?
Leverage to "encourage" people to upgrade to Vista to run DirectX 10 games?
Rarely if ever needed anymore.

... after all, the swiss flag is the same, except that the colors are inverted.
You mean like the .
The International Red Cross created the symbol in 1863
Adopted it, perhaps. The Knights Templar have prior art on the design, and the business model for that matter.
Unlike the USA, in Australia we generally speak English. There, I fixed it for you.
Or you could just buy a copy from China?
I can't believe they still fall for that one... Tinfoil hats are antennas designed to increase the reception of mind-control beams, not block them.
No, just the strawman.

It was supposed to go up to 10, but they had to drop 4.1 features to make the shipping date.

"Wow, it squirts!" (Following Vista's "Wow, it rocks!" lead for the lamest slogan eva.)
"I've waited this long, have the day off work and the fridge stocked with spcied wine."
ok, you are the biggest dork, you win.
Remember kids, gazpacho soup is served cold; spiced wine is served hot.
Fear is a good thing. It keeps you from getting killed.
... (I got better.)
You've obviously never been scared to death!
