You really don't believe that the narrow-minded are smart enough on their own to come up with this stuff, do ya?
Whenever the narrow-minded claim to come up with technology this good, it is bound to have a certain amount of "back of the comic book" technology involved.
I'm going to assume that you are trolling, but as I'm an angler myself I can appreciate a good set of inline blades.
What I don't think you understand about the CPU business is that when Intel, AMD, whomever makes CPUs, they make them without knowing which one will end up going what speed. It's not until they test them that they find out, and then they put them into a bin based on the max speed they run.
Well, let's say that they have a good run and they get 60% of them to go at 3000+ speeds, with the rest waterfalling down from there. That's great, but the market isn't demanding a bunch of 3000+ chips. Turns out the big push is for, say, 2400+ chips. So, to fill those orders they set many of those faster chips to run at the 2400+ speeds via the cutting of bridges.
Why not just release all those 3000+ chips at 3000+ speeds? Profit, dear troll, profit. If they flooded the market with those higher-priced chips, then the price would go down. Better to make a large profit on those fewer faster chips.
Your clickthru rate increase was due to folks realizing that clicking the word "monkey" is a lot easier than hitting the graphical bastard that moves back and forth, back and forth, taunting me with his elusiveness. Back and forth, back and forth, back and...
As the market for the Porsche 911 is filled with short, pudgy, balding men, it seemed only natural that the designers of the 911 also produce a product that caters to the short, pudgy, balding men of the IT market.

Oh yeah, that's a real concern among the geek-set. They're gonna lose a LOT of sales.
That's as much a worry as the fact that it wouldn't stand up much to rain.

"Unsophisticated users" is just a polite term for "loser who has nothing better to do".
Oh maybe it's that "sophisticated users" have something better to do with their time?
This is what your eyes will look like if you watch the event through dark tinted glasses.
I guess that explains why I wasn't able to network together my garden gnomes.
Sure, but "social outcast" is has such a negative aftertaste.
Am I going to have to be killed if I read the article?
He'll correct that in the subsequent repost.
...when Ellen Feiss switches, and not a moment sooner.
That'd only work if someone creates a an Apache-based Photoshop filter.
They got wind of something called "war driving", and surrendered.
While I don't know for sure, seeing someone of his stature use the word "virtually" gives me reason to believe that there is apt code in his product.
"No code" would mean "No code". "Virtually" is a modifier that is used for a reason.
That's just like my crack dealer buying me a new pipe.
Wait until the RIAA hears about this. Talk about a revenue stream!
No, payola is when the radio station gets paid for playing a song, not when a radio station pays to play a song.
CD's don't have theatrical runs. Sure, many movies don't, but theater releases are where most movies make their big money.
It's a good thing that Linux doesn't have this problem!

Thank goodness the folks on the Warez scene were able to help Microsoft with this. Otherwise, Microsoft would have never made it.

Thank goodness we can rely upon you to pick up the slack, though.

At least, that's how I understand it.

Maybe this is the equivalent of getting the hood ornament stolen? It IS a Porche, after all.

...it seems like you can apparently get most anything passed if you attach the word "War" to it. Even the theft of bandwidth.
