Once fuel gets to be in such short supply that oil costs so much that gasoline is $4 a gallon (will happen eventually) it will become VERY economical to use solar power.
Hello? Newsflash! gasoline is already over $5 a gallon here in the Netherlands, but i don't see anyone using solar power... Also, the reason the price has risen this much, is that americans are using so much gasoline that they have to import extra from europe, making *our* prices rise due to your excessive demands... think about that when you see someone driving that SUV.
I think a judge would have better smarts and common sense than to launch an outlandish law suit like that. Come on, $5800 is a LOT of money for lack of internet access for a couple days.....
Sure, Mr Rogers, now just apologize to the lady or pay up.
What kind of action are we talking about? I think we should boycott these unless they are anatomically correct.

These 12" figures are based on the characters from the Monty Python comedy 'The Holy Grail.' They have over 20 points of articulation and come with themed accessories which include chainmail outfits, shields and weapons. These figures contain sharp points and small parts and are recommended for ages 5 and up.
use another CD burner, or don't upgrade Toast. Roxio loses money. Fuck 'em.
I'm still using the Adaptec Easy CD Creator 3.5c that came with my Plextor burner, and for a very good reason; 4.0 not only managed to totally fuck up my cd's but insisted i install IE 5.5, which i refused to do. Why do i need IE 5.5 to burn CD's??? Also, Feurio is much better for burning music cd's...
"It was an incredibly foolish decision, and we're horrified," Sony spokeswoman Susan Tick said of the hoax. "We are looking into it and will take appropriate action."
Is it just me or did anyone else expect her to yell SPOON! after this?;-)
Targets of the critics' scorn included convoluted commands such as the common "ALT-CONTROL-DELETE" sequence used to close a program or perform an emergency shutdown.
Put it under F1, see if that makes them happy. You know, there's a reason it's such a 'convoluted' command, It keeps people from accidently executing it!.
Hmm.. i'd have moderated this "Informative" instead of "Funny". Ferrets are actually used to pull cables at sites like rock-concerts... who needs robots? Ferrets rule!
Except in the case of NTSC vs. PAL and CDMA/TDMA/GSM/CDPD, etc., the fragmenting was haphazard and the result of different areas using incompatible standards.
Actually, in former East-Germany they used a different tv system (SECAM) than West-Germany (PAL) on purpose for political reasons (So the East Germans couldnt watch West German tv programmes)...

I can't wait to see pigeons shitting on Microsoft's new bench. Hell, I might travel to Merry Olde England to take a dump on one, myself.
You mean, mark the bench? As in bench-marked?
That's because Billy Bob in his trailer wouldn't know what roue de la fortune was.
Would you even care what's on tv if you were married to Angelina Jolie? (Yes, Jolie is a French word too...)
a dust eating parasite would be alot more interesting
They're already there; dust mites. Too bad their poop gives some people an allergic reaction...

Does anybody know what happens if you fill a supersoaker with gas, and light the gas as it sprays out? Instant flamethrower?

Don't forget 172.16.x.x. Nobody ever seems to use it -- I don't know why
Probably cause it looks too much like an AOL ip address? Also, 10.10.10.x is much easier to type/remember...

Sounds about right. Small parts for 12" figures.
Do you get a free shrubbery when you take all 5?
It's not "Wacka wacka", it's "Wocka Wocka".
In Bill's case, it's "Wanka, Wanka."
And if they find it they may use it as target practice, ala Klingons blowing up space junk in Star Trek - Voyage Home.
Or it comes back to rid the planet of that pesky human infestation... (V'Ger, Star Trek - The Motion Picture)
Dear God. Imagine Rik fucking Mayall as the Doctor.
Well, it could be worse... FISHY SNACKS!!!

No, BETA lost out because of the booming porn industry.
Sony apparently refused to let pornos be released on BETA, so VHS took over.
You're confusing BetaMax with VCC 2000. As far as i know BetaMax 'lost' for the same reason MCA failed; licensing fees.

Maybe you should've gotten the 16K expansion module? I still have one laying around here...
Beyond the normal fire drills or chemical spills, a new addition was 'Attack on IT Infrastructure'.
They took away the coffeemaker?

Great! After the backdoor that microsoft built for them now they have a table too! I wonder when they'll start on the patio...
ISS, IIS... who can see the difference?
What's next? Invisible cases?
You mean, like behind a drywall?

I wish him luck on further appeals, but I wonder why Intel is so interested in him.
Because his schwartz is bigger than theirs, ofcourse!

You will find they already have a perfect use: doorstops.
