Now I know when I goto pirate the new latest version of windows I know which version to download to upgrade my XP Pro installation, Vista Ultimate. Yeah nothing to see here.
These people are angry at another company for having a MARKETING department? It's just too bad this is what you do to sell computer security products to the masses, because masses of people are stupid and overly swayed by emotions.
Every time I go to do self checkout I must be behind the idiot who can't check himself/herself out! This means I actually spend my time in line making fun of the products they're trying to get me to impulse buy, especially at walmart (they shove a ton of 'as seen on tv' crap right there). When I have time to consider the pros and cons of a product and research the alternatives in all the various magazines on display there, it's no longer an impulse.
Plus when there's a human at the scanner all day they know exactly when it gets dirty and clean it right then, keeps people from doing the 'I don't understand why it won't scan through this dried on milk' thing. I used to be a cashier, just taught me how stupid humanity is.
//how can an old lady lift a box of dried milk into her cart in the store and onto the conveyer, but not lift it off the cashier station when she's bought it?
The tubes are clogged and I'm not getting my internets. Now the consoles stole all my power and stood by wasting!
This isn't the first time power being wasted has been an issue, but at least these consoles have a stand-by mode, because people don't like turning them off. Looking here, I have a laptop running right beside me just for aim, tell me that isn't a waste of power and a second monitor that I use right now just to shove itunes onto. The biggest way to conserve power is to convince people that power needs to be conserved, otherwise I'll just keep wasting it. I've never had an issue with not getting enough power, just keep paying the bills and it keeps flowing. And as far as cost, the numbers are really low when it comes down individually, you have to multiply by populations to get the numbers to a size that makes you go wow. A couple cents to a dollar a month, why do I care about that wastage from my console?
I have to be the only one without myspace... I'm in the demographic I mean early twenties and I have friends with them. I have other social sites etc, but myspace really has no appeal to me. Can somebody explain to me what the deal is, because nobody thus far has been able to.
And now I'm able to myspace from anywhere and do all kinds of extra stuff with my myspace that I just don't give a rats ass about, so umm yeah... sign me up?
This is something new? Obviously you never took engineering at Penn State, we've got loads of them, just step into a classroom. The administration swears they're human but I'm not believing it...
This is more satire taken seriously by an idiot on the web. The link in the article above is a blog that picked up another blog where the guy clearly says he's making a joke. This is like when the onion is taken seriously...
Doesn't fluorinert not stand up well to extreme cooling conditions? I seem to remmeber a overclocking article having trouble with it because it froze. Although I think that was using liquid nitrogen to cool it, but still.
Yeah it's a great review! I was on the edge of my seat when they were going through how they changed the look and feel of the newest and greatest parts of windows, solitare and minesweeper! I just can't wait to get my hands on a copy of vista now that I know that they've updated the card games to look flashier! I can't see how OS X can hope to compete against a (for the first time ever mind you) completly reworked version of Spider Solitare.
Think of all the paper cuts! Rebinding a book, that's gotta take a bunch of hammers and crazy tools for stretching out the leather and nailing it on the book, all too dangerous for PWG (pasty white guy) in the basement. Plus typing, clicking and lifting mountain dew hardly trains you for that sort of work, he'd have to start on small books, maybe photo albums before being able to make it up to enchanted books that magically increase your skill.
Come to think of it, there should be a book binding skill tree and librarian quest in the game, there are already book mercahnts in the game, you can work your way up through them, increase your mercantile skills as well... come on modders!
Anybody else read this as Paper Pad alternative to MS origami? Think of it, infinite battery life, lots of storage space, great handwritting recognition, light weight... come on someone start writing the jokes.
The one application that really matters is in A/D and D/A conversion. In D/A conversion the signal for each bit goes into basically a weighted summing amplifier, each bit goes through different valued resistors in order to give it a different weighting based on it's bit significance. If each one of these resistors are off by 5%, across multiple ones you get an addition of the error. Soon enough your digital signal representing 10v is now saying 12 volts or 15 volts. A/D circuits are actually comprised of D/A circuits as well. Very bad stuff in high precision audio work or signal sampling. Military grade digital readings of radar could lead to you seeing extra planes or missiles on the horizon just because your resistor values weren't correct.
You can have all the security in the world and you can't keep king kong down, the chains, the fences. Nature always will find a way, he just likes climbing tall buildings grasping girls in his clutches. We just need to accept that and move on.
This is something I've known for a long time, when I put my three middle fingers into my horse it relaxes me a lot too, let alone the horse. Including a thumb every once in a while is a simple change that gives so much more comfort.
As I understand it, all the wireless Airport express streams use apple lossless codecs. How long before we can have a program to intercept these wireless music streams and then convert to mp3s or whatever you want? Pretty crappy way of getting music, slow etc the more I think about it, but why not?

you missed the sarcasm in the politicians will fix it line. I was expressing how nobody cares and nobody in govornment will fix it.
Ok, I'm biting... I'm not doing anything today, Horay for myspace. Plus I don't want to be that tv guy... (see the onion link below)
Ego masturbation eh? Seems like I need to add that to my site...

We can have those cavemen all cloned and show up like in the geico comemrcials!
It'll be great they can be all hairy and be pissed off at the world. Kinda reminds me of my neighbor...

That aside, props to the Egg MacMuffin joke...
What, never heard of russian brides? They've all gone to the internet now.
So roughly that's a year plus 7 months is ~575 days * 2.51 million, that's ONE BILLION DOLLARS! (1,443,250,000) Who let Dr. Evil run Europe?

I read this and started to laugh... until I actually loaded up the flash thing and messed with it a little, this is awesome!

It's a joke anyway. No publicity is bad publicity.

Thats the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish
