I take strong exception to your statement that Microsoft could be lying and I think you should withdraw that remark immediately... or at least cross out the word "could".
The fact that most people don't even know this makes me fearful for the future of libraries.
Of course, the fact that most internet users don't live in the US and so can't walk into a a US Public Library to access the New York Times archives may also help make the online archive useful;-)

-1 * -1 = 1, so two negatives do make for a positive
Reminds me of the lecturer telling his students that in English two negative statements (a double negative) , make a positive statement, but there is no such thing a a double positive statement making a negative statement. A voice from the back pipes up: "yeah, right".
To most people, sleep will be similar to standby - and I know that my TV doesn't keep showing picture sin standby, my VCR doesn't record TV shows in stand-by.
Similarly, if my PC is connected to the web and I put it in hibernate, it doesn't still download pictures.
Standby vs sleep vs hibernate vs off... is it any wonder people get confused?
And I thought the whole marvel of ipods and iphones was that they were supposed to be so intuitive to use that you didn't need to read the manual!

Wouldn't it be better if somebody tries to blackmail you with an obvious patent with ample prior art if you could send that company the prior art. Then,. if they refused to accept it and took you to court and lost because the court accepted it was prior art, then they should pay all your fees plus a penalty for wasting your time. IF you have a good patent then you would defend. If it was obviously a dodgy [patent then you would take a risk to use it for blackmailing other companies.
Yep.. the first Matrix film was pretty fresh and interesting (to people that don't watch a lot of anime at least!)...or to those who hadn't watched the superior "Dark City".
Give me an interesting script and non-pseudo-scientific-gibberish over flashy special effects any day.
This system allows groups of researchers to review large amounts of visual data in both macro and micro scale. If you want to see the micro scale, you simply walk up to an individual monitor.
Whereas I can sit on my arse all day and just use a display program with zoom function... so I guess this is a device to get lazy researchers doing some exercise?;-)

I did forget to reset it once with tragic consequences. I really miss that dog.
... inquiring minds would like to know!
Hmmm, does that joke have any connection to this one...

Does the Taser use Embedded Linux?
With the level of pain it causes, it has to be a Windows Embedded device, surely?
in other words, they could be lying.

Balls... and heart where his mouth is and all that.

Thankfully it wasn't that bad a crash !

Wow - it's lucky they had the 8Gb models and not the 4Gb models - they might have missed some emails...!

You might find this article interesting then

The relatively informal test found 43% of the medical equipment was affected to some degree by mobile phone signals...
Whatever, man. Let me know when you've found a monkey with five asses.
Et voila - a monkey with five asses:
George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
Donald Rumsfeld
Condoleezza Rice
Paul Wolfowitz
Alberto Gonzales
So you're basically saying that actors and musicians are a weird and kooky bunch... whod' have thunk it? ;-)

Do we really knead this sort of thing on a Monday morning?
The american people couldn't revolt their way out of a paper bag.

Perhaps they are waiting for the French to come and help them again
You know something's wrong when you're talking about driving people to use software rather than attracting them to it.
Kinda like driving cattle to the slaughterhouse, ain't it?
it touches on the entering computers in a questionable manor
Phew! I'm safe! I live in a dodgy bungalow....
and use them whenever possible...

A film where the script, the acting and now the image are all flat and two-dimensional !
Woo-hoo! Next they'll invent super-xylem vision, so they can all be wooden as well!

This is obviously a landfill...errr.. spacefill site for all the waste dark matter...
Would this be a good time to say " Nothing to see here. Move along"?
Thought not.
I judge how good the song is by the "who's dancing" rule.
If I find myself wanting to get up and dance to your song, then it's good.
If I have to watch a video of you and your group doing a badly choreographed dance routine to your song, then it's bad.
Hasn't failed me yet!
Yeah, nobody wants to go on holiday with a bunch of flocking Americans ;-)
