Anyone else notice how similar this is to Terminator: Salvation?
Humans: We found a way to shut down the machines with this special code. Skynet: heh-heh. Humans: Oh no, the special code was a ruse and doesn't work. We're all dead. Skynet::)
Lately? I've experienced that in the Valley for at least 10 years now. Interviewers always assume they know more than you based on the fact you're the one looking for the job. The unfortunate thing is that it's spreading to other geographical areas. Down in SoCal my cousin went to interview for a job and had the interviewer ask him to explain what "GPS" was. So he explained it very thoroughly since he's been working in that field for 10+ years and contributed to a patent or two. Didn't get the job because the interviewer didn't understand his answers. Turned out OK for him since that company is now effectively dead.
I really don't want my girlfriend to do anything stupid with her computer. This is a woman that some how managed to get her brand new Windows Vista laptop infected with spyware after 2 days. And I prepared it too with anti-malware software, Flash-blocked, and didn't even give her the administrative password. I still don't know how she did it.
It was a very poorly written article. But the 470,000 connections on the single day probably means instances of connection. If I turn on my laptop (1 connection), put it to sleep, turn it back on (2 connections), move to a different AP (3 connections)....etc. Think of how many people have their computers set to go to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. And smartphones, some only turn on the WiFi when screen is on or there's something actively going on. In a single day, I probably turn on and check my smartphone (20 - 30 times a day), that's 20 to 30 instances of connections.
I had the HP6L and that thing was a workhorse for almost 10 years. My newer HP laser printers are very solid but some don't have Mac drivers.
HP laptops on the other hand only last a little bit longer than the warranty period. They tend to overheat and fail almost as much as Acers from my experience.
If birds come from dinosaurs, and we can activate a gene in birds for milking. Then once we create a dinosaur from recovered DNA, we can start milking dinos. Think of the economy of scale. Instead of 10,000 birds, you'll only need like 10 dino for the same level of milk production.
I can't wait for my all dino breakfast: 1) velociraptor bacon (in place of turkey bacon) 2) t-rex sausage 3) Brontosaurus milk
Because you're friend's wife really likes the place for some reason. And you want to get with her cute sister so you try to spend as much time with them as possible.

Skynet:
BOOM.
A man in the pilot seat.
All of it. Math is a lot more useful in life than kung-fu.
That's the only logical explanation.
I'm just hoping Voyager doesn't come back. EVER.
There's never anything good when a probe gains sentient.
None that I know of. AFAIK, the Russians never went beyond Venus or Mars. Although, I believe there was a Halley's Comet/Venus probe.

1) Read all the jokes, bad puns and all.
2) And to ask when will the "Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich" smartphone/tablet be release?
What competition? Google Translate "translates", Siri is a "voice personal assistant".
:) you won't have to wait too long. I know of at least one company working on this exact concept.

I figure Apple is using the Ferrari model of supply and demand, always one more person wanting it than the supply available.
Oh good, I thought I was the only one getting ads for pole dancing. Look, I'm all for pole dancing just not the type that has me dancing.
Let's look at my 12-month purchase history with Newegg:
1) HD for my laptop
2) LCD screen
3) laser printer
4) headphones
5) camera
Yeah, I think Newegg is going to be just fine in a "post-PC" world.

"Bros"=/= black. Bros are the idiots that try to live like the cast of the Jersey Shore.
Geez people. You guys need to read failblog.org more:

And created "bros" in the process.
So we're back to Windows 1.0 with no overlapping windows? How am I suppose to quickly look at two open applications? or drag and drop items?

I don't want every search to list my porn files as the first item.
I can't remember the last time I've seen any RealMedia files or needed RealPlayer for streaming. Can't think of any site that still uses Real.
