IBM's OS/2 had that. That was one thing that led to its demise.
Probably more to do with Microsoft's anti-competitive tactics, the other PC manufacturers not wanting to be dependent on one of their rivals for an OS and IBM's incompetent marketing than that. How would being able to run more software be a bad thing?
MP3 phones are very popular in the UK. Another device that lets teenagers annoy adults? Of course it's going to sell by the truckload. They don't have earbuds (or they might have but the dipshits never use them), they have a shit speaker instead which distorts an already irritating song.
Any guild that tells you how you spend your free time that you are paying for are a bunch of obsessive tosspots and I would leave the first time someone said that to me.
Because: (a) they're only doing it because of two very expensive legal actions against them by the governments of the US and the EU; and (b) time and again they have shown that they can't be trusted; and (c) habitual criminals don't tend to inspire trust.
Extending a helping hand requires some taxation and has benefits for society (since every drug addict helped out of addiction is one less burglar or mugger) whereas being judgemental and doing sod all means that taxes can be cut from those programmes. The fact that you then need to spend that tax money on protecting yourself from the dropouts fails to occur to most anti-tax whingers.
23 is a fair bit away from borderline overweight dude. You'd need to be 174lb to be BMI 25 which is the very highest you can be without being overweight. Doesn't sound like much but 14lb is a fair bit of flab.
Mobile phones with MP3 players are already pretty popular here in the UK; I'm regularly annoyed on the bus on the way home by the latest rap star gibbering out of the horrible tinny speakers they have. iPods may be cool now but they can't be used to irritate adults anything like as effectively. Didn't Apple have an iPod/phone tie-up at one point in any case?
There are a few terms considered positive in some circles: collateral damage, acceptable losses, patriotism, war on terror, jihad, doing God's will etc.
Dunno about Word 2003 but XP's grammar checker never spots typos like that. I'm sure it's very clever and all but sometimes you think "why has it marked that" and the explanation when you right click usually confuses you more.
You wouldn't need macros as they're only required to avoid pressing a shitload of keys, now you can imagine healing everyone in the raid below a certain health and it will happen - just like the magic it's supposed to be.
Depends what you mean by fundamentalist wacko. If you mean you are a Christian (I'm presuming given your ID) who brings up his children to respect themselves and goes to church every Sunday and is generally fairly nice then you aren't one. If however you believe Harry Potter should be burned at the stake, the earth is only a few thousand years old and try to prevent children being taught about Darwin then we don't like you.
Pointless deaths of Iraqi citizens and Coalition soldiers is a fair order of magnitude worse than spending a lot of money increasing our knowledge of the universe and shouldn't even be considered as anything like the same. The space programme may not have produced anything you consider valuable but knowledge is always valuable even if it takes centuries to turn a profit. Some people are so desperate to pay less tax they'd end up throwing the future gains baby out with the inefficient government bathwater. Here's something to think about: without the 'waste' of NASA we wouldn't even have commercial satellites; no private organisation with shareholders to satisfy would ever consider spending that sort of money on that sort of risk. Who's to say that manned missions won't lead to something equally useful like, say, being able to mine the other planets and moons for useful resources. That's not going to happen without a significant initial investment and that isn't going to come from the largely short-termist business community.
How could they grow if people didn't want those jobs?
This is just cheap shot journalism at an easy target that gets people upset. This same type of privacy violation can and does happen in every part of the first world.
People are upset because they're losing their livelihoods or at the very least having to accept a lower standard of living (or are afraid of it happening to them) which, funnily enough, is not racism or stupidity but perfectly understandable. Do you have positive news for those people or just the usual empty ivory tower economics professor bullshit?

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
You do realise Spain is a democracy don't you?

Feudalism had a good run though.

And had MS not acquired and repeatedly abused a monopoly they would not now be in this unenviable position. Serves them right.

Explain to me why not wanting to work most of your waking hours makes you lazy?
Government interference is so bad that the 20th century was the greatest period of stagnation in human history.....oh wait.

We could still bash them for taking so long though :P
As long as I can punch griefers in the face and knock their teeth out I'll go for it.
NASA having an image problem is something we can both agree on.

It's not the color of her skin, it's the color of her nose, that makes for her job security.

What a brilliant quote, I may have to steal that at some point
