transferring 6.7 gigabytes of data (the equivalent of 4 hours of DVD-quality movies) across 10,978 kilometres (6,800 miles), from Sunnyvale in the US to Amsterdam in Holland, in less than one minute.
That means you could transfer an entire Kevin Costner film in under 30 minutes!
"Screw you Bill Gates, and your f'ing Seatle company"
Didn't Gates hometown end up doing this? I remember reading somewhere about Windows not being up to the task of town management while Gates house was being built. Haven't found the article yet.
The whole space elevator thing is a conspiracy being run by The Illuminati.
No, that's just a cover story for the true cover-up. What's really happening is that Travolta and Cruise are leading the Scientologists in a secret project to build an interstellar force-field Destruct-O-Ray to free Xenu. Since a 400 mile tall cannon would be rather conspicuous, they claim it is an "elevator to space".
I've been doing support for years, and I have found that the question isn't skill or ability, it's attitude. It truly is a "round-peg-round-hole" task to assemble the hardware. Power-plugs only fit in their specific socket. Fan plugs only fit in one direction. The only confusing plugs are PS/2 and Sound, and with those you just have to match the color.
Trouble is, when a persons attitude is "I am not willing to think", that person appears to be unskilled, because they WILL NOT learn anything that they do not already know on a reflex level.
First, I'd estimate the value of the skills needed to assemble that pile of gear into a working computer at several thousand dollars.
Really? You have that much trouble getting the round peg in the round hole?
I bet my experiences building computers are pretty similar to those of most people here. It's just not worth it unless you're time is free.
I have found that spending 30-60 minutes up front pricing, buying, receiving and assembling standard, quality components is a valuable investment of my time that saves me hours down the road dealing with proprietary setups, crap components and shitty design.
Seems like it would have limited appeal:
"Here, vampire, follow my humming to the Total Perspective Vortex."
How many undead will fall for THAT each week?
Slashdot Mirror
Which then zapped my genitals. There should have been a warning on the cup that said it contained liquids that were harmful to my laptop!
"You're a cinch for World's Fattest Man!"
Turns out a lot of it ends up as 'downgrade' memory and ends up in OEM memory modules.
Working the tire off, huh?
In Windows 2000, you have to Shift-Right-Click to get the RunAs option.
Appletalk?
We have a hangman's noose made from CAT-5 inside the door.

Here it is. Their dispatching system had better GNU/Something or he probably won't give it any complements.

LOL!
Well, flies have wings, and cars would only tie them to the ground, so...
Reduced fruits?
That's still easier to get than an Indiana driver's license.
Soooo....., the possibilities are narrowed. Fired NASA engineers either go to work for Apple, or Dell.
Looks like it. Check out this blurb from the features page:
The Inspiron 8500 notebook comes pre-loaded with Microsoft®Windows® XPPerhaps "Surrendering Frog"?
Why would People Eating Tasty Animals protest? Does it make the animals less tasty?
"I'm an electric car! I don't go very fast, or very far, and when people see you driving me, they'll think you're gay!"

My Publisher wouldn't allow it. He says I didn't put the correct PowerPoint in his Project InfoPath, so his Data Analyzer didn't OneNote it.

It's a HYDROSPANNER. Your innacurate Star Wars references make me laugh.
