How can they make that sort of statement about something as subjective as beauty? If you were to take a Victorian era guy on the street and show him women today, his opinion may differ completely. I'm sure there are some dudes out there today who would find a Cro-Magnon woman attractive.
As a male, I resent being lumped in with the Geico caveman.
Why the hell would you want this for searching for library books. Let's get those books in electronic form so they are not on the shelf in the first place!
If Chrome simply ends up another polished Linux distro (albeit backed by a mammoth company), will we really be any better off than today. Why is this OS discussion always reach the lowest common denominator of Windows vs. Linux (I'm lumping OS X in here too)? Why can't some innovative startup out there put forth a viable 3rd alternative that truly turns the computing world upside down? People are disenchanted with M$, intimidated by Linux and don't want the proprietary platform of OS X. The market is ripe for something truly fresh. It does not sound like Chrome is the answer. I don't care of it is open source or not. I want it to be cheap, fast, easy to use, and stable. My guess is that anyone coming up with something like this would end up in court with M$ at some point over some sort of M$ application support built into the OS for cross-platform compatibility. The whole OS world just really seems stale.
It seems like this should be a lower priority in developing nations. Not to make light of the situations in third world countries, but when your posting on FB that your mood is constantly 'hungry' or 'sick', something is wrong.
I would suggest this could be a profit center for KFC, but everyone knows that they use featherless, beakless, tube-fed mutant chicken-like organisms for their supply.
Instead of Ms. Pac Man, I would suggest Lode Runner or Jumpman.
Some other items to compare:
DRM-Free SID file compatibility?
Soothing knocking sounds from removable media (i.e. 1541 floppy drive)
Game DRM ease of circumvention (i.e. resistor on parallel port for Links)
Why do so many MOBO's have the SATA connectors behind the PCI Express slots? It is amazing that this problem is still around. Do the designer's even do a cursory simulation of SLI boards being installed before finalizing their layouts?
back in 1989 was an engineering analysis tester written in FORTRAN. The language was chosen because my assignment was temporary and the guy that was permanently in the department only new that language. The tester code was a combo of FORTRAN and Micro$oft Assembler for all the bits FORTRAN couldn't handle. Even in the late 80's, as a EE student, I thought FORTRAN was outdated when it was required in our studies. However in my case, it did prove useful.
Since graduating, I've learned many other languages on my own, but FORTRAN was the cornerstone. Not the language, but the concept. As long as the concept of programming is taught correctly, other languages should easily be picked up as needed and it shouldn't matter what course you took in college. C is probably a bit much for the casual programmer, but FORTRAN is a simple alternative. Chasing the latest 'flavor of the week language' really shouldn't be the goal. Teaching 'programming as a concept' is the important thing. If done correctly, a person should be able to easily apply the concept to whatever language their job demands.
Actually Paris Hilton could be a good case study in worms, viruses, and Trojans (or lack thereof). In her case, if you don't have a Trojan, you get a virus.
Ironic.

as a result of this, maybe one day we can hopefully remove the rabies virus from the endangered species list.
the toilet flushes you. I'm truly sorry for that.
They can shut down Canada as long as the size of my Mafia does not suffer.

Well, my spirit is now broken :(
you could join the Peace Corps and teach the locals how to write 'Hello Third World' programs using discarded VIC-20's.
Yes! Wham-O is already working on a glowing frisbee using these.
Either that case is empty or the guy in the picture is ripped.
He looks way to comfortable lugging that thing around.

Waiter, there is a microchip in my T-bone.
SP4 should take care of at least some of those items when it is released and keep XP rolling strong.
This is 1/4 humor and 3/4 wishful thinking.
Hey, isn't Benzene on the RoHS 'nasty stuff' list?
If so, I'm surprised it's being looked at as a component of a potentially mass-marketed technology.
By 'puffing his cheeks', could they be referring to farting?
If not, would sneezing/coughing constantly stop the chair?

I'm just sayin'
The battery thing for dark hours makes me nervous.

Bury it in the kernel and expose it in court for a good laugh
...and Cher
The name sounds like a Dr. Seuss book. Horten hears a Ho.
That's funny on a couple of levels.

If this keeps up, we'll have to add SCO to the nuclear attack survivor list currently including cockroaches and Cher.
