That's assuming you're following the Sarah Connor Chronicles timeline, which is obviously a shoddy fallacy created by shoddy writers of a shoddy TV series.
I fail to see the likeness between non-intelligent, non-replicating nanocars, and the Replicators.
Sure, they're both self-assembling machines, in a way, but the nanocars lack the communication between each car, and they don't have any way to digest materials and replicate.
And even then, these things carry payloads, they don't form objects by themselves. RTFA.
Even though I'm an MTS Authorized Dealer... Yesterday, I went to a customer's business to check why their internet isn't working.
Their router wasn't the cause of it, because when I connected the modem directly to a computer (multiple computers, in fact, just in case their NICs didn't work) and tried to connect using the built-in XP Dialer, it wouldn't work. So I phoned MTS (CALL-MTS [225-5687]) the res internet line, because businesses here get the residential plan because of the cheaper cost. Of course, the hold time is 40-60 minutes, and I'm off duty in 20.
So I get the business owner to call MTS and schedule a callback for herself. I told her to tell MTS that an MTS Authorized Dealer had already tried the direct connection and that it was most likely a defective modem.
I come back the next day, and she tells me that the guys at MTS told her it was a router issue. So just to humor her, I replace her router with a brand new one. Nothing. I replace her modem with a brand new one. Nothing.
I got pissed off and got another tech to come in to take a look at it. They just phoned back to say they think they have the problem figured out and that they'll have it done in 10 minutes. That was 40 minutes ago.
MTS will *not* take the blame for ANYTHING. I've got shitloads of stories just like this one. I could write a fucking book...
Just don't ask me about our competitor's practices and how much of a douche he is. I could write a 14-book series on that subject...
We just got in a crapload of refurbs with fairly decent specs, in the last week we've sold about 75 out of about 100 of them.
They come with no OS, so the people are free to choose whether they want us to install an OS (read: Windows XP) or just give them the box with no OS...
It's so sad though. We've had customers come in requesting us to put various distros of Linux on the refurbs, but our sales reps have apparently been told by the higher-ups that we're not allowed to - that's probably because I'm the only one here in this damned company that knows *anything* about Linux - although if someone request a FreeBSD install, I'm going to tell them to blow it out their ass. ^_^
You do realize you just compared preference of operating systems to religions and races, right?
Let's just start invoking Godwin's Law and say that the teacher is the Hitler of IT, and is starting the Linux Holocaust.

They d-d-definitely, d-definitely could definitely have called it that.
...that are too stupid to keep track of cards in your head.
Either way, you're still going to get kicked out of the casino and/or beaten to death.
Oh, c'mon. They're responsible for those Miley Cyrus pictures. Who doesn't love them for that?
A significant improvement on a crappy OS is still a crappy OS. No flame intended, but really... who uses FreeBSD anymore?

Shoddy.

Battery development... on your tax money? It's more likely than you think.

The truth is out there.
How we can we know this article is truthful? Can we really trust the author? He's a con man, after all.
No, that's "Microsoft Works".
I'd say it's a bit more like preschool. I didn't do much finger-pointing and tattling in high school.
