The IE people will hava an interesting time running a company having a free beer product competing against free beer products. Their only hope for job security would be if someone bought the company and open sourced it like mozilla.
News Item: After a Horrendous on air accident the popular NBC program has been suspened indefinitely. The shows host suddenly muttered something about an illegal operation then proceeded to fry several members of the studio audience.
The net is not dead. Further more it is going to be receive more innovation(tm). With MS NGWS the net will be embraced and extended. After this has happened the net will then be extinguished.
It would not be a very big technological leap to create a phone then that could record a call as an mp3. Could this phone be hacked/cracked in such a way that it could do this. Think of the legal ramifications of this.
The M$ commercial that gets me is the one where the guy is playing Solitare in his cube then gets the Notmeeting notice that the Big Cheese is comming. Suddenly he bounces up with his head above the rest of the cube farm raving ino his phone "I need copies...call Tokyo... After the suit leaves he says "Sucker"
Would this add make you by sofware to make your employees productive.
Buy our software and your employees will be non productive. Now there is TRUTH in advertising.
One up Amazon. The smart no click shopping cart tied in to doubleclick would anticipate your purchasing desires based on sites you visit. It would extract your credit card number from your hard disk and make the purchases it deemed necessary. Best of all you wouldn't have to click to sign up for the service. It would automatically purchase itself for you.
I don't believe that is exactly what the poster meant but it was somewhat funny
If I remember correctly a TV runs at about 30 frames per second. This is enough to fool the human vision system. Now take the number of rods and cones on the back of the average retina times two. (I don't know the answer to this.) Then you will have a pretty good idea of the total data available as raw input. There must be some interesting compression happening in the actual processing of the data.
Apparently the system can be overloaded. Remember that Pokemon episode in Japan a while back that caused many siezures in children.

I suppose I may be overly vengeful but I do prefer the corporate death penalty.
Liquidate them. Hopefully this would get much more of their code in the hands of open source companies.
Sex, Statistics and Linux
Here is an article in the register that proves that linux is more popular than sex

I believe that they have already sentenced Anonymous Coward to death
Until it gets it's own show on the Food Network?
Nuts & Bolts of Cooking or something like that.

MODERATE UP
Troll it may be. However, this is a classic.
/. should add a slashbox for the best trolls. This one should be in there for a while.
/. is not posting the stories that I woul like to see today. I would prefer to have seen:
JPL Goes After Usenet Posters
Penthouse releases 20000 images

Just food for thought.
I'll revise my list
del notepad.exe
The electric chair would be impractical.
Liquidation is the word
Drown, baby, drown!!!

I'm off to the patent office.
Whatever's available first.
I'll upgrade as bandwidth becomes available in my area.
I'm not one of those holdouts waiting for universal ansible connections.
Wow, just imagine my coffee maker and refrigerator hooked into this kind of bandwidth.
My smart coffee maker would be able to pick out individual beans from individual plantations around the world.
My refrigerator would be able to compare it's contents with the databases at the Disease Control Center and call in the biohazard team just in time

Thanks, that was Interesting.

I don't care about the little graphic at the top of the page that subsidises a web site so that I may have a more cost effective browsing experience.
What I do object to is when said ad holds my page load hostage for fourty seconds on a cable modem at that.
A standard I would like to see is a maximum load time for any web page element or something to that effect. Any ideas?
Further more the standard is a proprietary trade secret that may not be reverse engineered.
Microsoft will have you know that IE is the standard.
Something could be more cost effectively done with a large mirror made of the same sort of stuff as a solar sail
