What I liked about Mandriva back then, before there were live CDs, was their choice of install:
1. casual user (multimedia with desktop) 2. development workstation (like 1 but with make capabilities, headers, etc) 3. server
because sometimes there will be the occasional un-packaged tarball that you will need to roll on your own. The configure-make-make install mantra should be ready and handy when the packages failed to include something of interest.
And I really can't believe how many people have to get a calculator to evenly add a tip and divide a lunch bill 4 ways! And then proceed to say "Ok, everyone owes $8.79" instead of just saying "$9".
You see this? This is the world's smallest violin...

I found a video on youtube after searching for webos multitasking. It was the one where some guy named Dieter was demonstrating how he would use or open about a dozen apps so that he wouldn't have to use two fingers later.
Though I might not get that busy, it was very impressive They are worth getting excited about, as someone above noted. Those guys at Unity better watch it if they want to get a leg up.
Refrigerator door pull: 1. Stand with your feet evenly in front of the icebox. Pull door open, check whats inside. Close the door. 2. Pull open, retrieve one of the 6pack. Close door. 3. Pull open, get salsa. Close door. 4. Pull open, get lime. Close door. 5. When it's time for next bottle/can, repeat #2.
Sixteen ounce wrist curls: 1. Pop open that beer/soda/caffeinated drink. 6 reps, one for each gulp, right wrist first. 2. Do 6 reps for left wrist as well.
Use your imagination, and your regular work area could be a workout area as well. Practice saying, "Yeah, I work out" with the intensity showing in your eyes.
Better yet, have your underwear handy, and offer it to the groper after the pat-down as a 'souvenir' for the 'good time'. A thong/banana hammock would be perfect.
The forces of nature still act on such things, even if they've been isolated from more large-scale interactions.
Yes, but being isolated like that, it would never have heard of the force of nature known as Justin Bieber. And would have to search hard for a piece of undergarment to throw at it.
It opens up the horizon to everybody or at least people with imagination or a real-world need. The article in Investor's Business Daily had a photo of a guy steering his lounge chair by waving his hands in front of the unit mounted on the chair's armrest. Wait till Homer Simpson hears about this. "You know you've built a platform that's captured everyone's imagination when you hear back from a slaughterhouse that says they've built an app that measures the livestock's growth with Kinect, and they want to sell it to other slaughterhouses around the world." Craig Eisler, GM of kinect for Windows.
And it all started with this console that they gave their kid for gaming.
Wasn't it intended to simplify computer use? And we find ourselves saying, it's time to move away from it; it still spawned a couple of... For Dummies books, no matter how much thought and work has been put in its design. Hey if you want to stay there, fine. But these guys are moving forward.
Come on, admit it, as long as you saw your health and ammo on the HUD in Quake (not to mention the score heh) you were doing well. Now this HUD might be worth checking out.
All user IDs are safe unless their passwords are "123456", "ABCDEF", or "password". We *did* ask you to change them from these defaults. If you did not, we suggest you meet with your new 0wners.
yeah, just like that co-worker that wrote on a post-it: It's floopy, not flopy disk. He was certain there was a double-something in there, and he went for it.
Won't the dealbreaker be battery life? If I already have a usable laptop that converts into a tablet, that means all my work-related (ahem) requirements are covered. The only reason it CAN'T be a full fledged tablet (or even e-reader) is the 'tethering'. I've only been looking to have instant-on from tablets instead of constantly having to be near a power outlet because of the dismal battery output.

Why would the GPS have no warranties? Not even from the manufac--
Oh, wait...

We adopted a system where we 'friend' the critical issues. The one that gets the most 'friends' climbs up the priority list.
Everything else gets a nicetohave tag. They can just join us later for dessert.
But it's version 2? I wonder how bad version 1 was!
The problem is, there aren't enough screenshots promoting the command line.

You can say 'pr0n' here; come on, you're among friends.
You either don't know what the word all means, or you don't know what the term security through obscurity means.
It could be worse. He might not know about or, either.

Won't the *blogosphere be more effective? /sarcasm> Or what about de-friending them?
His name doesn't happen to be Bruce by any chance...
Who the hell outsourced the hacking to India, and have they really sunk so low?

Turns out mine is more recent, Evilenko http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0406754/
Was this the one protrayed by Malcolm McDowell? I don't know if anyone here has seen that... I think he was the only recognizable one in that film.

Why not go see the world?
Better yet, why not fake secret agent? Ladies and limos, sports cars and silencers for your paintball-but-looks-like-real gun.
