Actually they're only buying a computer because you never write to them. Plus they would like to keep in touch with all their friends who haven't died yet.
Including that really nice Nigerian man that they just met that has a little problem he needs some help with.
Kirsty Alley Why oh why Kirsty? I can't believe I had impure thoughts for you in my youth.
Rosie ODonnell Somebody I'd want to steer clear of, unfortunately that means driving around the block. Maybe when they staple her stomach they can do the mouth too.
Margaret Cho. Good to know that Fatkins is working for her. Not funny, but yet the Cho goes on.
Scientists have confirmed it. These are three big fat stars.
I think that one of the final sentences is telling;
"And money is not the critical constraint: the groups $35 million per year budget is a trivial slice of the NASA pie, but on a dollars-per-line basis, it makes the group among the nation's most expensive software organizations."
Government enviroments (unless it's a contactor) will always have better resources and a more comfortable envirment than a game company (e.g. EA) trying to push stuff (usually crap) out the door.
This is also probably a large part of the motivation of outsourcing software to India (more people working on software for less money).
There were times when I had the theatre to myself, and you could get tickets practically to anything. There was not a movie star to be found anywhere. Many of the movies were truly a labor of love. The film festival didn't even warrant a blurb in many newspapers.
Today's scene at Sundance is surreal in comparison, and I don't bother hassling the crowds anymore.
It costs a lot of money for the six people who view it live over a webcast to be supported. Its cheaper to record it, encode it, then host it as a file on the server
What's more you can perform critical product enhancing edits while taking care of any "Balmer Monkey Dance" (google it) that may occur.
isnt it a good advert for apple when millions are tuning into live webcasts to see what's happening
Probably what happened is in rehearsal the sub $500 mac prototype crumbled and all the parts fell out on the floor everywhere. Needless to say, this would not look good in a live presentation.
Slashdot Mirror
Atari?? Is that you??
You're the only one who breaks into song around here. At least own up to it.
It happened 122 years ago. News at 11.
ergo, Darwin has nothing to say about this.
As you can see, the mods didn't give your post a flying cluster.
Sweet! That one crab-like thing [oceans.gov.au] is awesome.
I bet it's pretty good eatin' too. Sweet indeed.
Well, that was suppose to be anonymous. Ahh well.

Laugh as you may, Microsoft's number one competitor is itself with people hanging on to old software and systems.
Prime target for the penguin.
Where did he find manage to find a real Virgin?
The Virgin had a choice of being tossed in the volcano or going on the rocketship.
Standing at the edge of the volcano, she chose the latter.
I'm sorry that you are going to have to browse at -1 to see this post.
whereas films which many would claim to be #1 of all time (eg. Bladerunner) don't even appear.
I too was saddened by that glaring omission.
I was also hoping to see V - the miniseries on that list, as everyone knows you can't beat Jane Badler, June Chadwick as sexy lizard ladies.
11000 porn titles a year? Goodness, who's actually watching all that? I rented a few porn movies myself when I was young
Back in the day when we were boys we had one (1) playboy for the whole neighborhood.
And we were grateful.
Is it really "technology bounceback" or a new term for "dotcom bubble reinflation" ??
Not that it would be a bad thing.
Great link, but slashdot mangles plaintext urls.
Here is the correct link.

You forgot the first "BSD is dying" post that started to methodically appear in every thread.
Also, the first "Natalie Portman petrified" and "Hot Grits"
Those were the days.
If I left off any of the the ridiculous convergence that makes up so much of tech buzz these days, let me know.
Yeah, you forgot the flashlight, heartrate monitor, and tire pressure guage with digital voice.
Then we have convergence!
All: Day-0, day-ay-ay-0 All: Bill Gates come and he wanna go home
Not bad, really. But you forgot the thing about the commies.
I went to Sundance in the early days (eighties).
There were times when I had the theatre to myself, and you could get tickets practically to anything. There was not a movie star to be found anywhere. Many of the movies were truly a labor of love. The film festival didn't even warrant a blurb in many newspapers.

It's good for the economy though.
Since when did we get states in Canada? did I sleep through that meeting too?
Yes, we have sent our seniors to invade your country. They stop by the pharmacy on the way home.
Our regular troops are busy in Iraq.

Once again Apple is showing it's brilliance.

You can only cut corners so far.
Please don't sue me Apple.
Will they be able to hear you scream???
They kept asking me searching questions...I would often respond with "Did you mean what..."
Well, that's the problem right there. You should have responded with "Are you feeling lucky??"
Actually submitter is right.
The probe does descend into the atmosphere on Jan 14th, but it takes an additional 10 days to photoshop the results.
Seems to put to bed the question of liquid water on Mars.
And how do we know that isn't the rover's transmission fluid that leaked out??
maybe they could use the same sets for the manned mission.
