Except he was using highly radioactive chunks of something that crashed. He had a core dump, and it almost killed everyone on the planet, until he came up with some goop to put in the water, and cured everyone. There we go, lets have the government put some goop in our water after some idiot irradiates us all. Cool, that's a solution!
Don't they already give away free samples? It's kind of like Joey, the heroin dealer down on the corner. That first blast is nice, and once your hooked into it, blam, your are stealing necklaces on the subway in order to afford NT Bugcheck version 6.35. (go ahead and name me ONE feature you use in Word 2000 that wasn't in Word 6)
Bring back BOB! The only window manager worthy of attention!
PS: Free windows was a joke, so the BSA can Byte my ass. My OS was free!
I LOVE this plan. Napster gets the recording companies to go for this.
1. Napster then buys 1 copy of every album. 2. Put it online for legal trading.
3. Cancel the plans for the subscription service
4. Advertise it as free and legal.
5. Don't make any revenue, and declare bancrupcy.
BANG, the record companies lose an ENTIRE YEAR of revenue, and it would be legal.
PS: 6. Everyone switch to Slapster, which buys out the assets of Napster at auction, and does it again!
After all scientists expected 100,000 genes or so, and I think it's doubtful their initial estimates were that wrong.
Ummm, of course, the initial estimate that the earth was flat, a plane could not fly, leeching, burning witches at the stake to get rid of the Devil in them were right on. Them crazy scientists are never wrong.

Microsoft must still be a pretty touchy subject with this place, because that is amazing response. Everybody having something to say, just because MS wants to outlaw opensource? We would also have to outlaw the constitution, because we can all read that right now, and that interferes with outlawing all the other basic rights, like freedom of speech and stuff (oh, and that nasty right to bear arms!). MS should fire him now, because all he did was piss off every opensource person on the planet.

If sourcecode is outlawed, only outlaws will have sourcecode!!!
Hidden in the X-rated pictures on several pornographic Web sites and the posted comments on sports chat rooms may lie the encrypted blueprints of the next terrorist attack against the United States or its allies
So, no more pr0n, and get rid of these terrorist that are cheering for the New England Patriots!
I love our government. Make sweeping statements to try and make the world safe for us. Oh, hang on, that government is by us, and for us... hmmm, how did the framers of the constitution really think this would work out???
Micrososft responded today by hanging 63,000 bugs off of windows. Bill Gates was heard to say that those Canadians were wimps for only doing one. We will kick their collective ass.
He then proceeded to buy canada, and lay off all the students who had done this.
My dad used to be able to spit out news stories of people hacking their pencil to run BSD, and then Beowulf-ing them. Since I subscribed to/., I havn't had the brains to ping my shoelaces!

PS:I would have written that in BOLD, but I couldn't find my palm pilot to lookup the HTML code!
Once you start paying for Napster, you are tracked by your credit card to your real name and address. The record companies get a judge to force Napster to release to them, the name and CC# of all users who downloaded a song from a copyrighted artist, and force the judge to charge said credit card for the entire album. BAM.
You would have to be a complete idiot to sign up for something like this, which means it will be "First Posters" and "Goat SeX", and that's about all.
When the server is low power (I mean porcessing, not AC), than you need more servers to handle the load. The problem I see with this is that they will need to run twice as many servers now. That will probably bring it back up to the power (AC) of an Athlon. Nothing is free (not even software when you really look at it). They seem to be just looking around for a market to jam this thing into.
Episode IV, A New Hope = PS1
Cool, but when you look at it in retrospect, kind of cheesy. It was the best thing going in it's time, with a good story, but what the heck were those crappy blockouts around the Tie Fighters?
Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back = PS2
Unsatisfying, because it is only a middle episode. There only to bridge the gap from the opening story to the finale. Lots of foreshadowing (Yoda: No, there is another). Kind of hard to get, but it's Star Wars, so it must have been good, right?
Episode VI, Return of the Jedi = PS3
In theatres EVERYWHERE. You couldn't swing a Lightsabre without hitting one. Finally, wrapping up a story, and adding in a bunch of midgets in fur that help take on an empire!
Episode 1, The Phantom Menace = PS4
This is where we go back to the beginning, to see how it all started. We find Shinichi Okomoto soldering together an Atari 2600 (sans plastic case) and causing a temporal rift in the space time continuum. Ken Kutaragi comes in to buy young Okomoto from the junk dealer, Commander Taco. Alas, Taco loses the Tekken, and must sulk back to his junk pile filled with Super NES and monochrome Gameboys.
An NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU)
An Intel 733MHz processor
An 8GB hard drive
OK, Sounds like a PC (easy hack). What I want is a reverse hack, taking the software (even the crappy MS OS out of this, and putting it on my PC (that's already faster than this thing!). Why do I need to buy all the same crap again???
About a year and a half ago, my fiancée and I were in a horrible car crash as well. We were also in a small car (Nissan Sentra), and were hit head-on by an SUV. I crushed my femur, broke my hip, and 4 ribs (I walk pretty good now after 2 reconstruction surgeries). My fiancée (now my wife thank God) lost her spleen, 1/3 of her liver, compound fracture of her heel, crushed lungs, and on a respirator for 4 weeks in ICU before she started to come out of it. We are both still recovering (Someday, I'd like to stand up and have it not hurt!).
Things like this can teach you lessons, or destroy you. From that perspective, my question is: What were the biggest lessons you learned from it? (I ask that as someone who has gone through it, and learned a lot about what is important, and what is not.) This is more of a life question than a geek one.
-Spackler
PS: Yes, we drive big trucks now (F-150), and I'd never own a small car, even if it were given to me!
Buy an extra battery. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I don't think I want you ripping into panels with alligator clips digging into the electrical system of a plane that I'm on. Call me a wimp.
Two batteries will get you across the country on just about any modern laptop.
...sorry guys, they are right. What Linux needs, and has needed for some time, is a newbie install that will give simple ways to do simple work. A simple install will yeild a much lower power system, but for someone to use it the way they use windows, tha's all they want.
Here is my example. My sister uses AOHell. She can chat, send e-mail, download little games to her Palm pilot, and play Slingo over the net. She doesn't know what a Kernel is, has never seen a command line, and wouldn't know a penguin to a sparrow, BUT, she can do everything she needs to get by. Give me the ability to convert HER to Linux, and we would win the world. Otherwise, we are just pissing in the wind.
A simple date rollover to 2000 causes people to by 500 pounds of dried beans and enough shotgun shells to kill every computer geek on earth. That was going from a 1, to a 2. Another 3 years of doomsday prophecy is not in my future.
He's just ticked off because older unix variations could not keep it together. Maybe he just doesn't want to stick a "fork" in Solaris yet, but he knows it's in his future.
Sir Charles Gutenberg has announced the availability of the "Biblewulf" cluster technology. With the ability to now combine up to 1024 Gods in a cluster, a world can be made in 6 minutes. Weather prediction will now be a thing of the past as the Biblewulf cluster waves it's protons around the globe and says "Let there be light". The nasty problem of not having any God's before it will be solved by using the newly patented GCL (God Console Locking) where ine God Console will actually be controlling the whole Biblewulf cluster.
Thou shalt have no clusters before me.
Thou shalt not kill -9
Thou shalt honour your parent process
Thou shalt not fork thy neighbors code
In the THEORY, she gives an exact date that is within 5 years. However, this EXACT same alignment was there 26,000 years before that (and every 26,000 years). I'd guess it would be closer to 28,467 years ago.
