People really do need to be able to work with Windows. Sure, unices may be better operating systems at the technical level and it's endearing that you're rooting for the underdog, but Windows is what is out there. When Unix is running on a significant percentage of home computers and a larger percentage of office machines, universities will be teaching that. They're teaching what's useful, it has nothing to do with Microsoft playing Big Brother.
Now, I hope to Hod this is meant as a joke.
Yellow #5 neither retards nor shrinks your genitals. It kills sperm. That's all.
I'm sorry to tell you, but locker room discussion is rarely educational.
If you're going to teach them how to use a search engine, however, I'd suggest Yahoo. Because they group things into categories rather than only searching for keywords, you can be 95% sure you're getting relevant content.
For a search engine that happens to be a bit easier to use than others simply because their database doesn't rely on META tags? I wouldn't pay for that, I'd rather use Altavista or Google. For email, there are tons of free services out there.
As long as you still get the same search engine and same email service without paying, I'm sure this is a good idea on Yahoo's part. But, again, it would be a cold day in hell before I paid for that.
Besides, I live off of free internet services =)
As much as everyone is going to hate me for supporting Microsoft, I think that they should buy up Sega. As far as console systems go, Microsoft seems to have the right idea in the X-Box, making it more like a PC than a multigame arcade. Ahh, if only someone could make an L-Box under the GPL. Fun, fun.
I hope people realize how stupid of an idea that is.
Companies are going to keep creating stupid policies like this unless us, the consumers, stop falling for it. AT&T wouldn't have started charging a commission unless they knew that there were enough customers who buy online and would still use their service to offset the amount of people who quit because they realize that they're being cheated.
The cable company doesn't charge for buying things off infomercials. They know that if they did, they would lose more customers than would benifit. People already know how cable and infomercials work. It's the ignorance of the human race that lets these policies hurt us like this.
Pardon me, I'm off to sign up with MCI.
I don't know why the patents office looks at it as a new and unusual technology. I could create a one-click order button (albeit in a less secure way than Amazon.com, but still) easily.
Continuing the pattern with AMD overtaking (slowly) Intel, and NVIDIA overtaking 3dfx, I wonder who's going to overtake NVIDIA, and how much I can buy them for.
Wireless uploads? Cool.
So far, Pacific Bell hasn't done anything but lie about when they'll have DSL installed, and we're probably never going to get cable modems installed here. Sattellite was never an option for us because upload speeds are still in the 24-36 kbps range.
This MSN dish seem to be the solution since the only infrastructure is the the sattellite in space and the dish on the roof of your house. If the upload speeds can get to be around even 128k, then we would order that up ASAP.
Um *cough* Look at the television. When it first came out, they were black and white and were the signature of the rich. Now everyone has at least one in color and many are getting digital cable and sattellite. Within 20 years, bums will have access to personal wireless T3 lines =P

What do you do to overclock it, drip-feed it espresso?

Now will someone help me pick my tongue off the floor?
Is it just me or does this seem like a bastardized version of .NET?
I could be wrong, though.

I thought that was a texel? I guess I'm just thinking of polys
I think that the real problem is that many companies don't have computers with harddrives that fast.
