So, in his (apocryphous) diary, he mentioned being the inventor of product pre-announcement, now he's just invented the post-pre-announcement. Way to go, Bill:)
The worst is THIS comment: depending on how much money is spent on her
Wives need LOVE, not small even pricey gifts. Give them your attention, your time and they'll be happier than Melinda French might be when Bill's telling her to spend while he's away.
I was even considering emulating existing hardware on beowulf clusters, I know it sounds like a troll or deja-vu joke but I mean it : if I have 1000 machines emulated on a beowulf of 1000 machines, then it'll be harder to get downtime if one machine physically crash.
Not especially, could be a soldier, back from a campaign, looking for something else. Could be a divorced fellow, he'd be just okay with his loneliness but everywhere he'd go he'd meet his ex's relatives. Could be a billionaire, got anything but a view of the future. Could be me, I want to explore other times, even If it would cost me today (which I'd gladly give away for better times). Telling that somebody who want to change of life is depressed is an insult to the likes of Columbus, Cortes, Magellan, Marco Polo...
Your comment reminds me of Netscape's supporters comment, years ago... Of course, Nestcape 3 was the most advanced and MSIE3 would not achieve a better penetration rate... We all know what happened, then...
The Department for Transport won runner-up for its electronic vehicle-identification program, currently under development. Known as the Spy in the Dashboard, the program will embed microprocessor chips into cars. The chips would automatically report any instances of speeding, illegal parking and other grievous offenses to authorities, who would follow up with a summons.
Most cars have electronic injection, instead of sneakily lurking on them until they commit a money-costing fault, it'd be much more intelligent AND educative to use the already embarked electronics to slow the vehicle down.
The day my car works as suggested by the Dept of Transport, I'll sell my driving license on the black market and willingly refuse to drive again.
as an ever-evolving concept : NO DVD were impossible to copy a few years ago... No it's something else... They keep making it difficult while renewing the market, thus improving their revenues.
The article is about eBooks adoption but where does it imply that paper books should then disappear ?
My point is that, like many other shitty things, eBooks could be adopted by the public provided they have an usage which won't be covered by other media.
Could come from a collective... Remember this old adage : "give people a phone and they will use it"
Give car buyer's an ebook with one or 2 Gutenberg Project files on it, as well as their car's manual.
Now, go to an average but famous enough author. Give him in advance 50 millions to write a sensational book (sensational doesn't mean it's supposed to be good, it's just supposed to raise people's curiosity). Give 50 other millions to advertisers. Wait... Profit. I never meant eBooks could be a good thing, I just meant these could easily be forced into people lives.

Well, not Jean-Louis Gassee who was considered a visionary among geeks...

Because Eric Raymond told that both hackers and rifles are cool, so it's better to conjugate these ;)
What about the DX4, "Baby" ?
IIRC, this benchmarked higher than the P-60
SX or DX ?
Mind you, it just sounds a little more serious than if it had been claimed by Eric Raymond.
We could suggest they'd register Katie.cx, then, especially after this TLD closed its highly controversed web site :(

Not everybody is attached to their family and relatives, some might even appreciate a century-time shift in order to refresh their relations.

Reminds me of THIS.
Even cheaper : 2000USD for 1.6TB... Guaranteed.

This is what I have but I ride my bicycle most of the time : no plate, no snitching :)

This is not a troll
Yes it is.
And it's especially obvious, coming from a Dude which calls himself "Sinnfeiner".

1) Yes : unless somebody really finds them a good usage that PDA don't cover.
2) I hope so too.

Note that this is still a very expensive [bp]retzel :)
Good books that people want to read and which will only be ported to this medium.
Well these are still cheaper than horses which'd also might get hurt during the polo match...
