I've been noticing a more-than-usual amount of probes to port 1433 on my firewall during the past couple of days, although it seems to have really spiked up since last night. DShield seems to prove this, as their "movie" demonstrates.
That's assuming that you're a perfect typist and CLI user. But what would you do if by any chance you typed "rm -rf/*" while on the expressway? Does it mean that you'd irreversibly end up sitting on the asphalt?
Please, someone write a +5 insightful essay about why I shouldn't do this...before it's too late.
I'm afraid that before someone writes such an essay, someone else will have written a +5 Funny post on why you *should* do it. Sorry.

I'm sorry, for a minute there I thought you had typed "Xenugears", and was about to wonder if the game had any pictures of L. Ron. Such a thing would probably be declared a "clear and present danger".
I agree, HP's printing business accounts for the greater share of the company's revenue, and looking at it that way, it is obvious that HP is much larger than Compaq. And yes, there are other product lines in HP's catalogue that Compaq doesn't have (cameras and projectors, as you mentioned, as well as scanners), mostly targetted at consumers. The point I tried to make was that their offerings could be matched item by item (and then some, in HP's case). Basically, HP has acquired a subset of HP, which more than likely will end up in the scrapper, and that oh-so-important-to-Princess-Fiorina services unit. In the end, HewCom PackPaq != HP + Compaq.
Consider also that most of this overlap isn't exactly in a profitable area (PC and PC peripheals)
Are you sure of that? To me, it looks like the two companies are almost identical. To list:
Pavilion v. Presario
Vectra v. Deskpro
Omnibook v. Armada
Jornada v. iPaq
Kayak (name no longer used) v. Evo
Visualize v. AlphaStation
Netserver v. Proliant
HP 9000 v. AlphaServer (Tru64)
HP 3000 v. AlphaServer (OpenVMS)
... and so on.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I know there are many more parallels between the two. The only differences I can recall are HP's printing and networking hardware product lines, for which Compaq doesn't have equals.

Google to Offer API

I'd assume that the API would be subject to a different set of terms and conditions than those for the main site. Given that it'll probably be a pay-for-use service (as another poster hinted at), it'd most certainly be that way.
It's true that the G4 Cube's power supply is external, but it doesn't have a fan either, so the thing is still very quiet.
IMHO, that would be better than calling her an "ofukuro", for what it's worth.
Just to see how it'd fare:
kick ass
Eng -> Spa: asno del retroceso
Spa -> Eng: ass of the backward movement
Sounds about right.
The BOFH had already thought about it about four years earlier. It landed him an award, even.
I think the following might have a better chance:

Sure, but where can I plug in my 1337 GeForce 4 Ti video card? And how many FPS am I gonna get in UT?
... had to ask.
Actually, Clark Kent learned the Reality Distortion Field technique from Steve Jobs.

I've always thought it would be Hewcom Packpaq.
Why stop there? Just put an X-10 wireless camera in a corner somewhere and they won't notice...

What comes out of it is definitely massive, though.
If they had named it Project Yamato, it'd have been a sinker...
How much bandwidth could they get out of the spark plugs in an average V-8 engine? Enquiring minds want to know...
D'oh! I'm an idiot. *muttering*...
Damn, Rob, even *you* have turned to karma-whoring? This is too much to witness...
It's the perfect flight simulator box! Not only are the engine sounds simulated, but the engine exhaust heat is simulated too!

Oh, if only keyboard manufacturers took this to heart. I really miss having an IBM buckling-spring keyboard (*snif*).
