Exactly, buy why stop at state lines? Roadblocks should be added at all on-ramps and city limits--complete with the body scanners and invasive pat-downs. Homes should also have bars on the windows and officers can check each night at lights-out to make sure the family is safely locked inside to keep BadPeople (tm) from getting them.
We need protection from these long haired, pot-smoking, towelhead, bomb-carrying, terrorist-pirate-molesters. Think of the children.
Lying in bed is when you're telling your wife that there is a perfectly good and innocent reason why you and your secretary are naked and in bed together.
Nah.... since 2.2 can run flash, we're supposed to be developing our apps in flash now. With flash's portability and its security, it is the best tool....
ah, who the fuck am I kidding. Adobe sees android as cake and they want a slice too.
You are forgetting the non-expansionist nutters who see a space elevator combined with solar sails and asteroid exploration as a perfect, low cost way of delivering a doomsday sized asteroid to the surface of earth.
With today's technology, any supervillain would baulk at the costs of using rockets to locate and deliver a planet-busting sized asteroid to earth.
Sorry, did not do my homework. *removes head from ass*
Anyway, the point was consistent smaller updates at a lower prices is more financially stable than large updates at infrequent intervals. Especially when the users initially resist adoption.
Hopefully, Vista was a positive learning lesson for Microsoft and they keep the releases closer together, consistent, and keep the UI close enough to the previous versions to keep from having to retrain the user base. I'd sincerely hate to see Microsoft fail, because then I'd need to find another OS vendor to troll.
I'm tired of all these support centers moving overseas. Why can't we keep call centers in the States? Congress should provide incentives to keep these services domestic.
maybe sales are down because there's a fucking global recession!!! Perhaps the executives should get their heads out of each other's asses and take a look around. But what the hell do I know about music?
To add to that... Why does Win7 not save the network key on my sister's pc, but it does on my brother's? Same network, same os, but the profile on my sister's pc does not save the key. I would install ubuntu on there so I wouldn't have to deal with it, but she'd complain that she couldn't play the sims.
They should have just kept updating win2k. Rolling updates just like Linux..... Maybe the profit motive really doesn't work for operating systems, maybe MS is still too much of a monopoly. All I know for sure is that every new windows version involves a period of me wanting to stab a windows user experience designer in the forehead.
Rolling updates seems to work for Apple. Sure they are a hardware company, but the fan boys and the regular users shell out for each update. From a business standpoint, a revenue stream of $30-100 dollars per update per machine every 6-months seems better strategic plan to me than $100-150 per new OS per machine every 2-3 years. Perhaps Microsoft should take more than just UI design ideas from Apple and the linux distros.

More importantly, look at the deadline: 2025. Plenty of time to repeal or reduce the fleet average to a more approachable target, like 24mpg.
If I ever have to admin a Petabyte cluster, I'd name it Petabear.
I'll have something to look at on Google+!

When's /. due for a modpoint revamp?
We can't have that! This is a 2-party system, Progress and Republican (or Freedom and Democrat if you sit on the other side of the fence).
That's because few ads are based on Silverlight.
No, Obama is a good liberal... Bush was just a bad conservative.

All of them. Here in Indiana, the legislature voted on making pi = 3.
I really think /. needs a +1 Tinhat
I can't wait until Virgin starts doing pizza runs to the ISS, then my life's ambition of being a spacefaring pizza delivery boy can be fulfilled.
my computer for some mod points right now.
Damn... if only linux for the desktop could have numbers like that.
I tried sims2 three weeks ago and it did not work. Did not investigate sims3 as I don't own a copy. Good to know that it should work. Thanks!

Good point. I move we change the prevailing term to: "GLOBAL CYBERMELEE DEATHMATCH" !!!
There, FTFY
Of course you can't expect the government to get this right, so it will likely be an Eee-War or an I-War.
Course I would also expect interweb-war, interpipes-war or even intertubes-war.
