Have you ever looked at a real life sandbox, that kids have been playing in? Notice how there's sand scattered all over the surrounding ground up to six feet away from the box? That's Microsoft's security model right there.
Somewhere out there, the head of marketing for a major hard drive manufacturer is telling a very disappointed woman that, "no, really, it is, I just use a different kind of inches to all those other guys."
If you want to watch Blu-ray videos then you could use some other method, why hook it to a 360? First, why the hell not? Because you'd never hear the movie above the godawful noise a 360 makes?
I think it would benefit Microsoft to do a fundamental redesign of Windows. Apple did this about five years ago...
Well, it's a lot easier for Apple to do that than it would be for Microsoft. Windows is deployed in all sorts of business environments where it has to support a wide range of hardware and legacy applications. All MacOS has to do is give Photoshop something to run on.
I'm so inspired by Bill's philanthropic spirit, that in future I'm going to use pirated copies of Windows, and give the retail price straight to charity. I'm sure he'll be pleased that I'm saving him the trouble of doing it himself.
Shortly after switching "Babble" on, no-one will be able to hear your phone conversations. This is because you won't be making any phone conversations; instead you'll be laying face-down in the nearest ER being asked how those speakers got there.
This semi-respectable geek still has the same email address he had long before spam was an issue, and doesn't see why he should have to back down and change it.
Just hypothetically, I wonder if the entire rest of the world could collectively survive a cessation of all trade with the USA? And could the USA survive it?
Just in case too many countries ever get a bit tired of the US trying to make them their bitches.

Guess this sandbox is vulnerable to drive-by downloads.

If we blew up the Sun, we wouldn't have to worry about Global Warming
Shhhh! Michael Bay might be listening!

Yahoo are to fecal matter what King Midas was to gold.

It personally cost me about $40.00 / year in electricity. So, I don't play the distributed computing games any more.
I play them in winter, it takes the edge off the chill in my non-centrally-heated bedroom.
Very nice. Now go fix the crappy CSS support.
You know this eliminates the possibility of terraforming Mars, don't you. We'll have "Save the microbe" campaigns every time a mission is sent there.
Nah, just call it "Operation Martian Freedom" and mumble something about terrorists, and everyone will be right behind it.
"hand this over, or we'll make sure you never see the sun ever again"
Oh noes! The NSA are going to destroy the sun!
Waddaya mean, in the future? Which part of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" did you not understand?
I like how he duped the word "for" in his comment
One of them's a meta-for.
Sure, in a few thousand years...

Even today, writing for clarity as opposed to writing for performance is far from being universally accepted.
Though writing for neither seems to be quite catching on.
...are the reason no-one gives a crap about "Sysadmin Appreciation Day".
I should hope I'm not on Internet2. It was letting commoners like me on the first one that ruined it.
