Linux will improve. No one will care --
A third desktop will emerge and really confuse everything (KDE and Gnome being the other two.. I know there's more)
OSX will barely maintain Apple's market share and everyone will agree that it is the best OS ever.
Windows 10wnU will be released. Despite massive security flaws and a wicked licensing scheme will continue to rulle the desktops.
For the desktop and laptop the writer(s) stop at 512MB RAM. Why? Why not go Gig? It is the future after all.
The OS choices were "unfriendly" at best. <Paraphrase>Some form of Windows (What, you were expecting Linux?)</Paraphrase>
I know I will sound like a madman but I think OSX or a *nix with a good, consistent GUI could easily replace Windows. It has in my house, and we appear to be discussing home computers.
Good article for someone who hasn't read any tech stories in the past 3 years.
I worked at Price Club, then PriceCostco, then Costco.
XMas was a dark horrible time filled with dark horrible people who sucked the life from my weary, heavy heart.
Some of the bastards worked me like a rented mule even though was struggling through finals and others were hideous pod people sprouted from Hell to shop and bust balls. The rest was 'bicker without ceasing' family.
Now I actually have a job where the boss comes into my office on the 20th and says, "Jesus Christ Lou, go home, and don't come back until the third!"
Alas this year he and his marketing wife had their first baby a few days before X Mas so I have to work tomorrow.
That aside I really love the holidays now. Especially the part where my 2 year old boy hands me his homemade thing-a-ma-bob and says, "I _do_ love you daddy!"
Revelatioins 13:14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
It was revived in the 70s and you have Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to thank for that.

Linux is great. Love it. Use it all the time... as a server.
Since OSX has dropped into my life I haven't turned the monitor on on my Linux (RH 7.2) box since about... April.
OSX wins. And best part if I _need_ a wickedly bloated "office" application I can get one. And the one I can get is the one everyone tries to be.
OSX is all the good things about *nix and all the cool things about Apple. And it is "tweaky" enough to feel like I'm still in control (see also installing Perl.)

Guys, use Word... it will fix things like this automatically.
I say (clearly I thought) that NATM is not very good and that if you want to see movies that are "good" spoofs of the Teen Genre then look at Clueless and Bring It On.
What the Hell are you talking about?
As for your assessment about a difference beteen a movie that is a spoof and a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously; it is _you_ who are wrong. This movie, NATM, set out to be a spoof. They thought they were making a spoof when they concieved, pitched, shot and distributed the movie. They were serious about it. They were also about two miles short of the mark.
John Katz said it was a good spoof. He's wrong. By next weekend we'll all know I'm right.

EZPass & Email :: The Connection
on
Email Turns Thirty
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
A few years back EZPass was introduced to NY. It took a while to catch on but now it is everywhere you can even get McDonald's with the damn thing. Two or three years ago someone figured out that a car on a toll road like a thruway could be tracked. Further they figured out, through the tracking, that cars weren't doing the speed limit and began issuing tickets based on time from point A to point B. The thought process being if you got there in this amount of time you averaged 85 MPH and if that was your average you were definitely going faster than that factoring accelerating and decelerating at the tolls so here's a ticket for 85 MPH; consider yourself lucky b/c we KNOW you were going faster than that.
The creator of EZPass complained loudly that this was not what he invented EZPass for, "I wanted to make people's drives easier! This is a gross misuse of the EZPass system."
NY State told him to shut up and poked him with a sharpened spork or something.

You know the movie really sucked but the way you tell it it DOES sound pretty good.
Your argument is far more confusing than mine.
I say (clearly I thought) that NATM is not very good and that if you want to see movies that are "good" spoofs of the Teen Genre then look at Clueless and Bring It On.

Great now my Springfield domain will be hacked! Thanks a lot.

Jon you're a dolt. But perhaps there is hope for you.
Clueless, & even to a certain extent Bring It On were excellent spoofs of the Teen Movie Genre.
This was Scary Movie 3. The movie sucked. So do yo.
Now go watch the two movies I mentioned above and see if you can figure out what I am talking about .
