From now on, anyone purchasing an Apple product will be named in a reverse class-action suit.

No one mentioned that the watch would not be much of a minitaturization feat- the thing will weigh in at 40 lbs and have a 10"x12" footprint. Basically it's a laptop with a wrist strap.
Let us gather together and rise up against the evil thick techno-watch monopoly, Casio! Damn you and your 80's synth watch complete with Samba _and_ samba2!!
A lot of us were hoping for a real old-school dust-up in Philly. There's a story at
ridiculopathy.com on the subject, complete with faked-up images of Greoge W. in full riot gear.
They're marketing them by color now- the next "innovation" will be beige- and while we're also buying them by shape - it will be rectangular as well.
How dare someone leak to the press the fact that Apple is still selling what amounts to their 1984 OS!

They not only use Samba as a rhythm pattern on all their way-kewl 80's synths, but they had the audacity to add - Samba 2 to the mix!

Oppenheimer should have never given out those custom-printed shirts to the Los Alamos team members with exact instructions for purifying weapons grade plutonium.
The recording industry cannot dictate market conditions. Of course, they can pretend that they do. But people who buy music (yes, PAY for music) set the rules of the game. The napster/warez world may make headlines, but it won't budge the music industry one inch. The course of history is rarely influenced significantly by the activities of cheap bastards and thieves. If you want legal downloadable music, pay for it. convention coverage. satire. today: learn how to spot the naughty bits in your wife's romance novels. www.ridiculopathy.com
You encourage script kiddies by treating crackers like geniuses in the media. True. But by not reporting security holes, we allow something bad to get worse [see: MS Outlook]. Either way you're hosed. http://www.ridiculopathy.com
Genomics will get fat and monopolistic, releasing biennial genetic therapies: Cancer2005, Cancer2007 which will be incompatible. Also, there will be huge security holes, allowing script kiddies to ply their root kits on my genetic code...
Then someone will opensource the genome allowing folks to grow extra fingers to post to/. faster.
no kidding, sgi is the only one with a fat enough pipe to get the job done. Currently, I run three streams of uncompressed standard def through an Octane. Yahoo! http://www.ridiculopathy.com
You cannot design an on-line community. You can write software and move buttons around. But the part that makes it an actual community is under no single person or group's control.
Cultures change in the same way that languages do. They regulate themselves. "Ain't" may not be officially a word, but if you know what it means, then it certainly is.
Talk to a member of the Academie Francaise. As representatives of the French government, they want to decide what is and what is not propper for the language- and here's the kicker- they back it up with laws to that effect. It is not legal, for example, to inject an Americanised French word in an official document. Germany's recent foray into spelling reform is another example.
Without bootlegs, who would know about Nick Drake? The Grateful Dead built a fan base larger than the population of the Roman empire by not agressively persuing user-level copyright violations.
Sure, stealing is stealing. But those guys on MTV with their "FU*K NAPSTER" t-shirts are just using the service as an excuse for poor record sales. Memo to Metalica: you're a VH-1 act now and nobody likes you.

Yes. That is why I run linuxPPC on my Mac. It is beige like an overripe pear. Once OX comes out, I'll upgrade to another fruit flavor.
I sure hope it does. Apple products are so pretty. http://www.ridiculopathy.com/article_detail.php?nu mber=00001

If it's a thesis that is obviously misguided but overly long, people won't read it all and will assume that the author is super-smart.
good is evil, and evil, good.
