Microsoft is cutting up babies to make their user manuals!
No biggie. When was the last time you actually GOT a user manual with a Microsoft product? Something more than a leaflet that says, "Use the 'Configure Wizard' to set up your Server."
The BSA is in the business of busting software "pirates" not copyright violaters.
Maybe I'm being dumb, but aren't those the same thing, at least according to Bill? Shouldn't you say, "The BSA is in the business of busting people who might owe Microsoft more than $0.00005 US"?
They've done it again: "New Lightning Technology to Wipe Out Wi-Fi Access". Well, no shit. Lightning will wipe out pretty much every computer component it touches.
Seems like it would be the logical TLD for sites containing information about prostitution, where to find pros, what the going rates are for an area and so on.
f you play enough you do, however, reach the point where you must buy a new controller
But does Sony require you to purchase a new Sony brand PS2 controller, and state that repairing the controller or buying a repaired/refurbished controller from a 3rd party voids your warranty?
Little difference. For example, HPQ's LaserJet 4100 series uses a chip that makes the cartridge "non-refillable". It's not to the point of disabling the printer yet, but a refilled cartridge always shows as "toner low", according to the refiller we use.
Peter Parker's uncle Ben would still be alive if that burglar hadn't played Grand Theft Auto on his PC. Parker wouldn't have seen his uncle die, and wouldn't have been introduced to murder, and the use of violence in the apprehension of criminals. He would be a Jolly Spider-Man, using light humor and his innate sensitivity to help legal-activity-challenged individuals address the roots of their problems, instead of just beating the sh*t out of them.
Isn't restricting access to these evil video games a small price to pay to see Spider-Man with a big, toothy grin on his mask?
If he thought of it after banging his head on the crapper, wouldn't he be more likely to come up with a nuclear-powered low-flow toilet that can actually empty the entire bowl?
"You see, Marty, the secret is the Flush Capacitor."
You're perfectly alright with the fact that a wimpy kid can get bitten by a "genetically engineered" spider
Or that a research lab in a public university would be trying to create a "super-spider", which coincidentally wears a miniture Spider-Man costume, that would be as venemous as a black widow, be able to change colors like a chameleon and jump like the spiders from Arachnophobia? Can anyone say, "Afrikaanized Honeybees"?
Have the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969 and the Little Cigar Act of 1973 been repealed? What about the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986?
...people who go ripping CAT-5 cable out of patch panels like a wild monkey don't last too long as network administrators.
Truly. If he were a true networking professional, he would have gently disconnected the cable running to Monsterhut, and connected it to the 3-phase power terminated in the comms room just for this sort of occasion. Then blamed it on solar flares shifting the Moon's orbit, causing massive tidal shifts that have resulted in huge power spikes from the seaborn relay stations.
And, oh, what was your username, password, ATM number and PIN, by the way?

Dude, "luser" isn't hyphenated.
how is shutting down your computer "special"?
It's not shutting down that's special, it's the fact that your Mac will "go down" upon an "intuitive" request.
Since when does it make sense for "Shut Down" to be classified under a little picture of an Apple?
Ever since it made sense to dump a floppy disk into the trash to get it to eject?

Buy a laser printer.

Winamp+Kazaa. Hangs the Win95 shell if you try to use Winamp while Kazaa is running.

The tornadoes could suck up fences, cars, semis, houses and trees, but couldn't suck the tank-top off of Helen Hunt. WTF?

Aren't tobacco commercials banned?

How many licks does it take to get to the Creamy Center of an Atom?
Hmmm. Let's see.
A-one...
A-two...
A-*CRUNCH*-three!
It takes THREE licks!
Not to mention the fact that Willem Dafoe really LOOKS like the Goblin mask when he grins.
