I'm hoping they have gotten rid of butt-ugly, non-intuitive interface and runs faster than an arthritic, diabetic, asthmatic dog. Of course, if they did, it wouldn't be representative of what Open Office has stood for...
If I were them, I'd find about USING gaim...its existing plug-in system has been tried and true, and can be used in many different OSs already. It can even plug into alternate IM systems while keeping the "AIM" name (G-AIM!) It could be like google: "Get on GAIM and talk to so-and-so...he's on MSN Messenger I think" The ads would still go to GAIM/AOL. Just a thought.
Err...sorry...that opening line should have pointed out that it's sad that China beat us to implementing this, when we came up with the heart of the design.
This is truly sad. Not to be a troll or anything, but the only reason we are not seeing a massive reduction in the amount of foreign oil we depend on, or improved air is because of the stigma attached to the world "nuclear".
So, we continue to use oil and coal.
For those of you who don't know, pebble bed reactors will allow for the increased use of the radioactive elements until they pose no significant threat. To use an analogy, the battery is almost completely drained. Also, they are inherently safer due to improved design. Their default position is one in which the reactive elements are in no position to cause any sort of melt-down.
But hey, it has the word "nuclear" in it, so it has to be bad, right?
if this is common, or if this is something that could end up crashing us into the sun in a thousand years. Things in space tend to be exponential in nature...
Seriously...is anyone going into this thing with high hopes? Episode I was like watching my childhood melt into easily-marketable claptrap, and Episode II felt like the actors had full-body botox.
Who is going to see this expecting a wonderful, rounded, well-acted movie? Don't get me wrong, I intend to see it, but mostly because of morbid curiosity.
I dunno...I guess I'm still bitter about LucasArts cancelling Sam and Max for more Star Wars Title. Damn them!
A quick look at their three-day graph shows they were below 3 at one point. What happened? We need to live the glory days...put them in the penny-stock category!

Ok...raise your hand if you actually think this has a chance in hell of actually beating Game Boy.
Didn't think so.
I think this will go the way of the N-Gage, and Atari Lynx: *Bing* Thank you for playing.
Gameboy has the games, the market, the shelf-space, and the name recognition. And to top it all off, it's a good product. If the DS is going to ship with the perpetuating network, as has been hinted, it will be unstoppable.
Can they figure out any OTHER way to try to drive out business out of this state?
We have some of the highest sales tax, the highest standards of living, permits are required to do anything short of wiping my ass and whacking off.
I propose a tax on ravers. We have enough of them. San Francisco could wipe out our debt in and of itself. It's simple to do it too: if the number of dead glowsticks in your apartment/mom's basement weigh more than your furniture, you get taxed. They certainly have the money for it. If they can afford those E hits....
The system is trying to find and locate a person who might be carrying a deadly virus. If anyone finds a "Conner, Sarah", please report it to this grid. We'd hate for her to be the cause of an entire planet's viral infestation.
Is there anything they won't whore out the Star Wars name to?
Anyone want to take a bet as to how long it will be until we see anal sex pr0n called "Brown-star Wars"? "The Back-end Empire strikes back", "Rectum of the Jedi?"
Also, wasn't Force Commander already an RTS? Granted, it sucked major ass, but it exists...
I *ALWAYS* wondered why people whose buildings get tagged wouldn't spray teflon on the side of their building...now I will wonder why they don't use this stuff.
oops...I meant Cleveland Browns... Shows you how much of a sports fan I am...At least I know that the Dodgers have what it takes to get the Stanley Cup this year, right?
Ballmer always reminds me of the kind of guy that would bash his head against the boulder repeatedly thinking: "One of these days, it'll give!!!"
Like an over-enthusiastic cheerleader for the Chicago Browns, I fully expect him to wake up one day and realize that he is cheering on a group whose ambition far exceeds their ability to remember the lessons of the past, and expect their past glory to carry them on.

I'm not even going to attempt this at work. I assume it's the goatse guy.
a 386. Behold, a spectacle of sight and sound (ding!)

Cool splash screen though...

Telecommute. Make them pay for their own damn work area, connection, and computer.

Simple: All you have to do is take off the panelling and connect them together to get around it.
Now, imagine 4096-bit encryption on a file that is striped across two drives. Not as easy, I would think.

Buncha tree-hugging softies.
I'm out.
They are right...I had forgoteen about it long ago...I haven't even touched my NES system in a LONG time! :)
Technically, we now have an iPod for $99 now...technically.
Anyone else dissapointed?

I've always thought there should be two versions of linux: bleeding edge, and ignorant housewife editions.
Red Hate falls squarely into the ignorant housewife category, where gentoo and LFS are for linux users with balls of steel.
Unless you can do source on the fly, I don't see the gentoo-type crowd getting excited over this.
Just my $.02 (that's $4.00 canadian)

Isn't Vioxx used for anti arthritis? Does that make any sense at all?
sorry...it's been a long day
