Why isn't MSNBC reporting anything about it? They usually jump at the chance to prove they are unbiased even though (MSNBC is a joint venture between Microsoft and NBC)...
I think the concept of the player is great - but why on EARTH is there a disc tray that ejects from the front?!?! This picture shows the tray, I would have *much* preferred a front-loading mechanism like on their bottom-of-the-line model. Bad Sony. No cookie.
The best professor I ever had could do everything in his head, hundreds of lines of code. He knew exactly how the compiler would react to anything.
He didn't just teach us the syntax and the languages, he taught us how to do *that*, and *that*, to me, is a f-ing awesome skill.
Dr. Caviness. We used to joke about him being the "human compiler". He ruled.
It's amazing how they felt that my expressing misgivings about my position in the company invoked a nice counter offer and a simultaneous feeling that I was "arrogant", a "loose cannon", and "unmanageable".
Those are the best qualities to have - it just means that Management has recognized you are doing something smart. They like to be the only ones doing the screwing, you screw 'em back and you're "unmanageable". You know what I say? Good! I'd rather be "unmanageable" than some clueless putz that gets it up the ass every day.
Let me guess...there's no such thing as a shitty P4 motherboard, while the shitty Athlon boards are jumping out at you left and right? Riiight. Careful selection of components is crucial when configuring any computer.
Exactly! Buy the good shit and you won't be disappointed. Buying a MB with an AMD chipset is always a good start.
His anecdotal profiles of geeks who were not nearly as smart as they thought they were
From what I can tell of his website, the guy answered telephones for Amazon. How does that allow him any insight into the technical side of the company?!
Excellent choice;)
TJ or YJ?
I traded my 98 1/2 TJ last year for a fully loaded Liberty Limited, that thing f-ing rocks.
The original poster was just a jackass - if he/she has even one MP3 on their drive they are a hypocrite.
I know most of you won't see it, but Carl Sagan wrote a letter which is included at the end of the PDF in which he endorses the skull and crossbones symbol.
It sickens me to see so many "+5 Funny" comments in this thread. Tiny brains.
I think the report is fascinating - I just watched a NOVA episode the other day about the Mayans and how difficult it was to understand their culture and language from just 1,000 years ago.
I dunno about you guys, but "This is not a place of honor" would just make me want to keep digging if *I* was an archaeologist.
MY question is, whatever happened to the ORIGINAL RealNames? Once upon a time it was basically a search engine to find corporations' websites. For example: the large, national "Dick's Sporting Goods" is *not* at "dicks.com", it's at "dickssportinggoods.com". Once upon a time, RealNames woulda told you that - and most any other company you wanted to find.
WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE?! Never heard of a single one of them - figures they'd be polluting the Internet.
Shouldn't these shitty companies have DIED last year?!
a total loss of 15,000 more jobs with over 150,000 following the next two years
It sounded as if a lot of people were against this in the first place - and considering the job losses indicated above, explain to me who exactly is going to benefit from this?!?!?! Why was this a good idea? Both companies' computers are just "eh" to begin with..
Yeah but my old company (IT Consulting) is cutting all the people with degrees, and keeping all the losers who'll never be able to get another job like it. Granted, they'll be closing their doors by the end of the year with that strategy - but that's what they're doing.
Great Minds Think Alike - I also saw an early showing of Spider-Man today and I agreee 100% with your review. It is an excellent movie, I just can't say enough good things about it.

Looks like Microsoft hired a couple of English Majors for an internship this summer.....
Here is my simple solution to MS' latest Passport move:
- Find what I want online, and then pick up the telephone and dial the toll-free number to order.
Problem solved. Passport dies a slow and embarassing death.I think the concept of the player is great - but why on EARTH is there a disc tray that ejects from the front?!?! This picture shows the tray, I would have *much* preferred a front-loading mechanism like on their bottom-of-the-line model.

Most of that agreement is just a scare tactic.
I'd tend to agree, as I spoke with a lawyer just last week and he said the same thing about restrictions in contracts.
Just because it's on paper doesn't mean it is a law, or that violating it is grounds for any legal action. (but, IANAL)
poking fun at Roblimo for screwing up his link
Actually, Roblimo is F E M A L E.
Maybe we could poke fun at your inability to determine the distinction.
Excellent choice ;)

Awesome! I found over 346 different types of Beer Mugs with just one search! Technology is amazing.
the vast majority of users did nothing.
You are assuming that the information I gave Yahoo! actually means anything besides gibberish I typed in to get a free e-mail account. *DUH!*

Anyone know any good replacements for HP laser printers?
Lexmark has one for $100 (@ OfficeMax). Of course, the replacement toner is $90 a shot, so....
