Windows Gurus vs Apple Geniuses... they are more or less the same.
Lets see who'll win the bout. I've been to BestBuy many times since they started selling Macs, and I have yet to find someone who can answer my questions.
Maybe the best guys to hire are the little Linux school geeks in my neighborhood.
What if someone stole my iPhone 3G and committed a crime? Will I be tracked and punished?
Its analogous to the red light traffic cameras that take photos of those who jump the red light, irrespective of who's driving the car, the owner is fined!
Er, isn't it illegal to wardrive in some states [Florida] in the first place?
And then putting out the MAC address publicly, like finding someone's SSN and posting it publicly. Oh, I guess its the owner's fault for not securing it.
Isn't it obvious Satan created this issue so there could be a controversy while he sits back and laughs on his iron hot-red metal seat with pins sticking up all over the place?
The other day, someone was watching a movie on his iPod Touch and walking on the road. He didn't see the black hole in front of him, and fell down. He got a glimpse of what the Big Bang was about!
I don't get it. So, Google and Yahoo! are grabbing 80% of the market. How about the remaining 20%? Someone's making money off that area as well. How is Google a monopoly? Sounds at most a duopoly or most likely a leader, but not a monopoly!
Since China is such a media-controlling country (apart from other kinds of control), they most likely would film their so-called spacewalk in Bird's Nest Stadium or somewhere similar.
In latest news, NASA returned the sets they borrowed from China in 1969 for their moon walk.
With members like Tom Cruise and half of Hollywood's stars, I doubt they'll run out of money to defend themselves and counter-sue our middle-class asses.
I installed it and the first thing that happens as always is the extensions stop working.
Why don't the extension developers keep ready an upgraded version of their add-ons so that with every Firefox upgrade you don't have to sit and wait for days for the add-ons to be upgraded?
Oh, never mind the extensions. Firefox 3.1 alpha 2 just crashed on me.:-/
I'm glad I live in the US. Even though some ISPs cower in fear, most of them give us enough freedom to do what we want. We truly live in the land of the free!
Since we evolved from monkeys, are monkeys immune to those insects? I believe the first living being with AIDS was a monkey. Maybe the end to our species has just begun...
Wasn't everything or almost everything made in China? Open up any computer and you'll see "Made in China" or Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Well at least now, you have official "Made in China" CPU manufacturers.
But all said and done, official Chinese counterparts are no match to the American or Japanese versions. Look at the Chinese "iphone" or cars, no way I'm getting one of those.

>> Gaim-vv hasn't been developed in over two years and is so out of date that it's still going by Gaim and not Pidgin.
Gaim has been renamed to Pidgin a while now (even on my Windows PC).
You may want to try Digsby, I heard the new update to it has video support too.

Child predators usually operate alone, and the park folks think that any adult who goes to the park without a child is a predator??
How stupid is that, kind sirs?
So in order to enjoy fresh breeze in the park, I have to drag my kids along each time? Crazy!!
It was HP, not Apple that started the touch screen. So Apple has nothing to lose really. And Moto and Samsung rock! Apple is just hype.

At least make incoming SMS free. I get so many requests for money transfer SMSes from Nigeria and Togo.
I spent over $50 in text overages last January, so I got the $30 unlimited Family Messaging plan from AT&T. That worked.
In Asia, they have incoming SMS free, why not do it in other areas as well?
Kick out spdf and welcome the era of open-source text books. Hooray!!
Is Project Gutenburg not going to lend a hand in this?
Maybe dumping them in a remote country or island will solve part of the problem.
Or even better, just walk, or just use cycles... unless you want to know the difference between driving cars and riding cycles.

What difference does it make to reduce this 18 months to 9 months log retention period?
Will Google anonymize logs in other countries too?
How about Google China? It respectfully hands over logs to the authorities on demand anytime. Same with Google India.
Again, why does e-ink work that way? As it is, I can't afford regular ink, its so expensive.
Can't e-ink at least be affordable?
It reminds me of the e-books (spdf files) from Harvard Business school. So expensive, and dies after 6 months.

The more serious question is - how the hell did the email leak out? Is everyone tapping everyone these days?
Anyway NASA, I'm waiting for more moon pics (the ones taken in Utah).
Japanese cartoons are full of violence, not to mention Japanese underground rape-porn and other shoddy media. How come Japan has banned this game?
Germany... well they are still in the 1940's trying to make amends for what the nazis did. I won't blame them for trying.
China banning this game? Yawn... so whats new? They ban everthing.

Wow, I'm getting one of those. Sounds too good to be true, though.
I hope it doesn't disappoint me unlike the other Linux pre-installed laptops.
If a robot stands for President 2008, I'll vote for it, err... him.

Don't they have the brain to renew it on a long-term basis and have alerts sent a few months before expiry?
A fool and his domain name are easily separated.
