Good thing I'm not a politician. Because honestly, if the government doesn't teach our kindergartners about sex, who will? Sexual predators, that's who. Sad, sad state of affairs.
Way back in 1995, I upgraded my version of Windows to Win v95 from Win v3.11. I thought "oh man, there's been 92 upgraded versions of this software! I better get with the times!"
Maybe. Perhaps a followup law could be that all spammers would have to register their email addresses, so we'd be protected from getting friend requests from women who want to show us their naughty web-cams.
Yes, and the best way to do this is to place a blanket law over all sex offenders that makes it impossible to do normal things on the Internet, like starting a myspace page.
Despite what you think, not all registered sex offenders are evil people. A 19 year old kid can go out and get drunk with his buddies and moon people out of a moving car window, get caught and convicted of indecent exposure (a little girl said she saw the guys butt!) and has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, despite being no threat whatsoever to children.
I'm not trying to defend child molesters here; that is probably one of the worst crimes imaginable. I'm just saying that just because you're a registered sex offender, it does not always mean you're a kiddy porn hungry pervert.
Perhaps a better law would be one that provides funding to help teach kids on the Internet about sexual predators and give them the information they need to avoid them.
While it's difficult for me to understand the need to watch movies on your telephone, I guess I could see the appeal to some.
But if I were to get a phone that could play videos, I'd want to to play videos in a non-proprietary standard. My guess is, Nokia entered some deal with Real to put it on there.
As for acrobat not working, wait for them to port Foxit to your phone. You might actually be able to view PDFs.
Yeah. I thought the same thing. Real represented every wrong way to market and produce a product. It was neat in the beginning (well, it was pretty much the first, as far as I know), but as time went on, it became a bloated, spyware ridden piece of garbage far inferior to all of its competitors.
Honestly, I didn't know Real was still around. I wouldn't let that software near my windows machines, much less the Linux ones.
Right. Those polar bears, if given the chance, would rip you to shreds, eat your body and then climb into the oh-so-warm data center to hunker down for hibernation.
My brother was a sysadmin in Alaska and a polar bear did exactly that, you insensitive clod.
Great. So now every time I return from a business trip to Thailand where I had relations with young men of questionable age, and I call my wife from the customs line the machine will catch my guilty face and my increased heart rate from trying to pass a lie off to her. And I'll be stuck in the airport for a good six hours under arrest.
Welp, those "Business Trips" to Thailand are over.
Modern rouge networked devices don't have red and blue wires. They vibrate. Usually it's someone's electric razor connected to the network, but ever once in a while, it's a dildo with an IP address.
Well, you know there's going to be spies who try to be friends with EVERYBODY, regardless of weather or not they know each other. Then the constant unsolicited friend requests from the CIA's latest emo-folk-rock band.
Members of A-Space will have to deal with messages like "Are you the Agent Schwartz who graduated from black ops school in Langley back in '84? OMG it's been so long! What have you been up to?"
Finally, you'll get generals commanding their subordinates to join their gang in Mob Wars so they can put the smack down on the mob run by some rival admirals.
I'm reasonably sure that they don't fly aircraft or spacecraft with beta software.
"uhhh . . . This is your captain speaking. To save costs, we've, uhhh, been flying with untested beta software that controls the, uhh, auto-pilot and navigation systems on the aircraft. We'll all be dead in 3 minutes. Thankyou for flying Southwest"

That'd be just as effective, right?

Many popular 'youtube' style porn video sites use flash for their video. 64bit would make the porn, er, faster I guess.

Yeah. It's a little scary.
I for one don't want robots roaming around my wife's breasts (or mine).
Besides, if sci-fi has taught us anything, it's that that "cures for cancer" turn us into zombies.
Alive??
The thing couldn't even use contractions. I mean, you'd think with such an advanced brain, it'd be able to use contractions.
No, Data was something far more sinister.
It's neat, but it doesn't seem to be very ergonomically designed.

Unfortunately, sarcastic bitching is not the solution.
No, but it does make it a little easier to handle as the problem gets worse.
If there is a global pandemic, and IT professionals are all home sick (or dead), normal network maintenance could be a problem.
You left a bit out.
Version 1.
-Is morally reprehensible for the vendor.
Version 2.
-Is a release the vendor could be proud of.
It'll also turn off all the HVAC/EMS systems in the building.

Wait... does that mean I have to be invited to use Chrome? And will it give me 50 invitations to give out to my friends?

Hardly epic. Just short and unimportant fail.
Nope. Still don't get it. I'm reasonably sure that's still Swedish.
Um, Skynet is already active. You can see one of the human zombies on their main page.
I thought Anonymous Cowards WERE zombies.
Yeah. It's funny because it's so far from the truth. I don't get sex every night, and my wife doesn't cook. She leaves that to me.
It kind of begs the question "What, exactly, are wifes good for?" I still have yet to figure that out.
