Back in high school, I took a girl I liked to the Laser Floyd show at the Boston Science Museum. Afterwards she said snarkily, "If you ever want to do that again, let's just drop acid and save the drive into town."
What's more pathetic are the constant comments here on Slashdot from "geeks/nerds" who pride themselves on never learning how to type properly, despite being in programming and other computer-based trades that pretty much require constant typing. I don't get it.
No, this is a fire sale to kill off inventory rather than have it on the books and taking up valuable warehouse space/retailer shelf space. I assume it'll also show up on the balance sheets as a capital loss.
No, I'd say it's a direct continuation of the Disk Images that Macs were able to use back in the System 7 days, and possibly earlier. We used to do it any time software came on floppies: make a Disk Image of it and keep it on a network drive. Need to install? Just mount all the floppy images, and the install would go so much faster!
Not really. CSS was 100% reliant on JavaScript, the ability to quickly toggle JavaScript and images on & off went from a handy menu item to a buried preference setting, TABLE rendering was slow as hell (remember, this was when nester TABLE layout were starting to take off), etc.
Thanks for all the towels, Rob. Slashdot has been one of those sites that I always come back to after not reading for a while, sometimes days, sometimes years. It's provided me hours of entertainment and informative debate on just about every topic under the sun.

See? Even Japan has outsourced to China!
OK, now get those products into Wal-Mart and see how well they do against the cheap crap.
You're gonna get flamed and deservedl because you're spouting a bunch of rambling bullshit.
If they're selling it at a loss, where does the money, let alone the incentive, to 'continue to improve the software" come from?

Oh, you mean like the Disk Copy image format from Apple's System 7, from 1991?

"Across the pond?" You mean Mexico and Canada?
But is JonKatz going to use it to interview kids in Afghanistan this time?
Most of the people outraged have never used it, in any case. It's just noise.
Sounds like every Apple topic on Slashdot.
Furthermore, we're talking about tubes less than 1mm in diameter.
Huh. So that's what the internet was like in the 70s.

Pfft! Just stuck a fan over the heatsink.
They are superstars that employ hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of high paid workers.
They don't employ anyone. The company does.
Well, not with that attitude, mister!
And look at the extension of the file, if it looks suspicious don't open it.
You mean the file extension that is hidden by default on Windows for the last decade?
Bullshit. You escalate to *his* boss and explain why you won't violate company security policies.
Wait, so the team is all former women? Gross.
2 of those digits are after the decimal point, right? :(
Stop worry that the exercise will be boring, and start concentrating on what the end results will be.
Quoth Jack LaLanne: "I hate working out. Hate it. But I like the results."
The mods, they is us.

See ya in the funny papers.
