You damn American geeks need to get some priorities!!!!
With you "Moore's law" and your Radeon 9800's. You consumeristic, built-in obsolence society is a scource on Mother Earth!
I suggest you all watch "Yank Tanks"[*] to see how people in the rest of the world make do with what they've got instead of squandering their lives in the pursuit of material things!
[*]Actually, I do reccommend this film. I could very well envision these people living in some sort of William Gibson futureworld underclass, carefully nursing along long-dead technology and using things for purposes other than their intended use.
If I want to know what a website written in some foreign-dog gibbersih says, I'll write a table-driven translator in machine code like God intended! Didn't these chumps get the RFP that says that this is the Internet, speak English, dammit?!!!
"Why hasn't anyone made one that formats all disks? "
What benefit to the virus writer is there in that? I look at this as a sign that the virus industry has "matured" past the point of petty vandalism to theft of service.
1) A robot can be a lot more precise and securely stabilized.
2) The shooter gets away because the anti-snipers target where the shot came from, not the spotter.
This would be (relatively) cheap and easy to build with off the shelf components. You could even timeshare among multiple spotters until the opposition took out your gun. Didn't you see that remake of Day of the Jackal?!!

How Odeous!
Excuse me, but I seem to have misplaced my Attorney General. Have you seen him lying around anywhere?

A-HA! See, that proves it! They're once again illegeally leveraging their monopoly!!
I saw "Slashdot Trolling Phenomenon" live at Whiskey a-go-go before they hit it big and sold out.
BOW before Hello Kitty!
Because his parents never bought him a computer as a kid!
Actually, hasn't anyone noted yet that this is a toy/model? It's only like 18" high. So much for the prom date!

Yes, but I want that when Microsoft thinks of developers, that they think about what they can do for them, no to them.
MSN == Eloi
It's about time we face facts and start acting accordingly.
Hold on, I've got to get my patent attorney on the phone...
Sometimes its hard to discern open minded from fucking batshit crazy. Often it's just a matter of perspective.
WTF, does Microsoft expect me to update my scripts everytime it gets s new idea of how to do things?!!!
You can't have more than one person using a computer at the same time! They'd fight over the mouse!
But then, what are the chances of THAT happening?
I read it in Wired.
I draw the line at pilots.
You'd be amazed at some of the idiots that manage to pass the driving tests. I don't think you want to hold that up as a model.
(Or would that be an anti-virus virus? Crap, I phail eet.)

Me, I forsee a bright future for the victim as a computer security consultant!!!
Here, I'll email it too ya...
