I was going to ask if this was going to make the price of breast implants drop low enough so that the procedure would be available to all the women that would want it; for example, to the point where one could simply hand out gift certificates. Then I realized that modern boobs are now just saline solution, and the high price must come from the "doctors" performing the procedure itself.
The article is written, of course, from the viewpoint of the Theorem itself.
A highlight:
Did Yarosh, Cauchy or Kummer--or even Euler, for that matter--care that I was French? Or that I was born in 1637 in Castres? Okay, Euler might have. At first, he seemed different from the others. He'd spend every waking moment thinking about me. Oh, how that made me feel! But understand me? No. In the end, he was just like the rest, interested only in what I could do for his career.
Heh... And here I thought the 'Business' icon was about 'Black Hats' hacking iMusic, I guess it's just a plain old derby hat. But who the fsck wears those anymore?
I've had this model fake volcano/mountain for like six years, and it took until now to find the appropriate mini-Airwolf. Now I just need to order one of these babies, paint it black, and get out my Ernest Borgnine figurine.
While this is a bit more of a relevant patent than Amazon's 1-Click it's still a bit vague (are most patents?). Of course Google is part of the Good Guys(TM) so let's see how the general/. reacts.
Oh, and here's search results for 'Google patent' on Google news.
Well I'm still trying to figure out how I "paid" VeriSign by sliding a $20 bill inside my computer. I heard some snickering from the customer service rep that told me to do it but I figured it was in reference to a joke I didn't hear.
Indeed... I'm glad someone else out there is so excited about Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. To go as far as calling it the best 2D platformer though? Could be, although I think the Metal Slug series give it a run for its money.
I saw a guy in a Vespa blast by me carrying a 27" television. I have no idea how he was doing it, but he had a precarious grasp on the box by the side, he was leaning, and still managed to be so accurate as to almost mow my American backpackin' tourist-ass over.
Budget trouble? What budget trouble?

C'mon, they shouldn't have any budget trouble. Just get N Sync member Lance Bass to pay up and they should be able to at least be able to cover the expense of adding a 5th flight (see table in the article).
Well, I work for a relatively small business, and I know one of the taxes is a gross receipts tax that needs to be paid no matter what. Because I'm in a highly regulated industry, we can't make the gross receipts up (read: lower them), so it's something we have to pay.
I'm not sure what the percentage of the tax is, but it's neither oppressing nor minimal (from what the boss says).
On your Linux box, you can download StarOffice from Sun (which I believe is still free as in beer, or at least it used to be).
You cannot, however, get Adobe Acrobat 5.x for free from Adobe's website (to be able to edit files). Nor is there another free utility (that I know about at least) that lets you edit existing PDF files.
Furthermore, Adobe Acrobat Reader does not kill its process when you exit. It happily hangs around eating up your memory, which makes it a pain in the ass to use on older computers without 74 gigafloppy interweb RAMs of memory (that's technical talk for "a lot of memory" by the way).
I think that if Apple or a third party came up with a non-Adobe solution for a PDF-like document, that could easily kill Microsoft's idea. Or, you can create confusion by offering so many choices that the user just says "F- that! I'll just stick with what I have."
Also, the original's story comparison of this to IE vs. Netscape is a bit faulty. There's no real reason for Joe McRegularUser to have both Internet Explorer and Netscape. Both will allow him to check NBA scores and hot asian teen pix. However, unless this Microsoft application can now handle PDF files as well (my winword.exe only spits out gibberish), AAR will always be necessary. It's kind of akin to me really really hating RealNetworks, but still having bloated GUIware like RealPlayer installed because there's no other real option (pun intended). Just because I have the new XCrap.net document editor, doesn't mean that I don't need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
My solution to this whole big mess? Do what warez kiddies do. Just releases everything in.NFO files that are plain text with lots of ASCII art. I'd like nothing more than to get a press release from Adobe saying something like this:
Due to new competition from Microsoft, we will now be embracing the new NFO standard. This allows you to share documents truly between any system, with documents 10% the size of PDF files. Also, you can have graphics such as a cool-ass dragon breathing fire around your letterhead right over a banner that says: "M Y C O M P U T O R C O M P A N Y R O X O R S!"
Of course Microsoft would write back and say that now Edit.com will be integrated into Office, Windows Media Player, and Microsoft Soccer.
Well with the sorry state the network took post-Napster you wouldn't even be able to run a server if you wanted to, unless you were serving TXT and 2-color GIFs.
My friend who went to Lehigh for a year in 1997, said that someone was using Lehigh's bandwidth to run a porn site, and the site was taken down after a few weeks because the university couldn't handle the traffic. IIRC he made a few thousand in that time span.

Mmmmm... Brine. Delicious brine.

Pontiac releases the new Pontiac Phoenix GT.
Now without the iLoo where will I deposit my iPoo? I guess that's what I get for eating at iDonald's.
Excellent, now I will finally be able to upgrade the chip on my homemade iLoo.
Heh... And here I thought the 'Business' icon was about 'Black Hats' hacking iMusic, I guess it's just a plain old derby hat. But who the fsck wears those anymore?
You'd think if geeks couldn't "interoperate" with girls, at least they would be able to interoperate with other geeks on their projects.

The mark of Beast, if you will.

Yes, nothing like paying an extra $60 for a re-branded Aiwa.
And here I thought they were both the same person. Damn kids. All the rugrats look the same.

Hmmm, it's like the tenth post, and the site is not reacting.

The pop-ups loaded though.
And here I thought this had to do with unintentionally downloading mp3s of Limp Bizkit songs...
