Seeing the vandals approach menacingly, she whips out her handgun, but as Murphy's law would have it, she has a senior moment, aims the phone at her would-be attackers, and without looking away, attempts to dial the 911 number on her handgun, wondering why she couldn't hear any of the usual keypress tones...
Glad you all made it, and you're able to post about it. Been there, done that: but I was lucky when my van slowly guided itself to the grassy median and the roughage woke me and everybody else in time.
I have an ancient Thinkpad myself, and close associates know me for letting the hardware last as long as it does, yet look as though the desktop is light years ahead of the curve (thanks to linux and e).
But I do think the Durango is a pricey accessory for a laptop =) Most of us just use a laptop briefcase har har
An eject button for the DVD drive, as well as uneject. *nix has had eject and eject -t for decades, and Apple has a button on the keyboard (!) for this. But to install a third party app to f***ing close the tray is sooo 20th century. I don't think the EU is going to frown on this one as more monopolistic behaviour.
Use these power tools for good. Forget about finding a seafood restaurant, find me a gas station with low gas prices based on my location! I believe that alone may spur sales of the unit!
"Turn left to Red Lobst...Ahem...You may want to pull into the gas station that's selling unleaded for 3.09 per gallon. No? Brain the size of a planet..."
When the user wants to do something new, the application should teach them how to do it, and then the functionality should be available. Before that, it's invisible.
From the murky depths of the detritus of former UI designs past, and not unlike that awful-smexy movie Alien Resurrection, *Clippy* is reborn.
More importantly, and I believe I can speak for the majority of us caffeine-dependent posters here, I would like a coffee maker that doesn't drip or trickle the coffee, it just whooshes the whole chunk o' java goodness right into the pot in one fell swoop.
Where is that seedless watermelon guy? What has he been working on lately?
Wondering what you would pick from ThinkGeek, do certain things come to mind right away, or you had to do several browse sessions?
In short, what's on your THinkGeek wishlist (or shopping cart, if you hadn't made a wish list). Just curious what a/. winner would pick. Awright, you got me: I just want to live vicariously through you!
What was the pattern on the tile? Would it perfectly complement her bathroom interior, or would a more subtle shade of autumn be more suitable?
BestBuy should be asking these tough questions. Eventually, under the unfeeling, harsh light of an incandescent lightbulb, the truth will eventually come out.
Is the event sponsored by Apple? Or are the conference sponsors/organizers giving them out to encourage participation, and they are identified closely with Apple? There may be a slight difference.
I would see it as swag/schwag only if it were a conference related to mp3 players and tech stuff, like an expo of some sort.
My question now goes beyond seeing wallpaper. If I need to nudge an app upwards, like making only an app's status bar visible, will the menubar show the wallpaper or the part of the app underneath it?
I don't think it will. I've been hunting for a decent virtual desktop manager for Windows for ages now, and they all have horrible issues. The best one I've seen so far is Dexpot [dexpot.de], but even it is annoying to use.
Back in the late Win9x or early Win2k days there was a thriving community that skinned the desktop to the point that it was almost an alternative OS (who needs steenkin Explorer.exe? Some of the guys at Customize.org who had the skinz and apps didn't). Litestep and a host of other shells such as bbforwin supplanted your Win and gave you multiple desktops in any layout you chose (4x1, 3x3, and so on). You'll probably see its current iterations for later versions of Win but ever since MS virtually supported skinning with Visual Suites these skinners have moved on from those alternatives to something that will run (and not break) on Windows. Sadly still no multiple desktops from MS because I don't consider their hack even worthy. Or their OS, for that matter.
I made my corporate desktop behave more like Linux (and look totally different) unless an audit was taking place. A one line change in system.ini switches it back, then when the smoke had cleared, you get the picture.

Give him time. He's practicing his URL links.
Now why'd you have to do that? I was trying to make a point.
He said 'Why not look in the menu?'

The strangers come closer...
So what is their reaction whenever they see 'Performed by professional driver in a closed course' in any car ad?
Can you imagine the size of the RAM sticks? And they walk inside the case!!
And you thought TRON was science fiction!
And his last heroic words before he died in the conflagration were 'Don't buy Delllllll!'
Yesterday the atmospheric conditions were such that we couldn't get good signals.
Somehow it sounds a lot like blaming lag for losing one of the old school Quake 1-on-1 deathmatches

Gentlemen, we have the technology.
Yes, but the earlier models didn't come with Menacing Voice(TM) tech; they just played 'These aren't the droids we're looking for!' over and over.

I don't know what you're on, but I'd sure like some, too. It's not just for breakfast anymore, right?
River had a last name? I guess I better turn in my geek badge, then.

So what does this mean, will you guys be waving goodbye to your *snif* basement dwellings?
Now don't go shop and simply get the Geek Shirt, it almost says 'I went to the

I don't think it's lousy, personally. But you get what I mean.

Yes, but they did say, 'Rearview mirror big enough for handicapped sticker'.
Something tells me we have finally found a replacement for the old and tired car analogy...
then Gary Larson has already won =)
