Ah, the everlasting discussion... Do you need to upgrade your OS? Do you really need a newer version of the word processor you are currently running? In short, if your PC is doing everything you want to do with it, what's the point in getting a newer one?
Ehmmmm, that's really sick....can't we be humane, and make him clean toilets or something like that?

And there we go again, the typical Slashdot paranoia flares once again...now this is probably a troll, and I shouldn't even reply to it, but I just can't resist. The whole tracking thing was to see what happened to the book you left somewhere in the urban jungle. Whether this is Tom Sawyer or Mein Kampf is up to you...and whether the next owner decides to register on said website is up to him/her/it, so what's the problem?
I've seen the French put vinegar on French fries, and considering French fries are called French fries, well at least by you guys, I think it should be up to them to decide what to put on it in the first place...
Very well, but nevertheless I fail to see how criticizing your government means you hate your country. On the contrary, when I criticize my own government I do so because they're making decisions I deem harmful for the country and its people. In doing so, I try to protect my country...
While I do agree that hte phrasing of this remark might need some work, he does have a point. For many companies the best reason to start using Open Source is because they won't have to pay for an expensive operating system.....
This will provably get flamed down, but I can't resist playing devil's advocate.
They'll stick with M$ as long as they have to wade through piles of documentation on how to use the one that keeps running and running in order to actually use it...
Just for once a good, enjoyable game comes out that has no violence in it, thus making it also accessible to small kids, and what do you want to put in it? Headshots, and matrix-style dropkicks? Shame on you.....
Long time no see indeed. I'm quite surpised anybody still remembers me:)
Anyways, in the case of Milli Vanilli I doubt it was the high quality music that persuaded the crowds, but rather the good-looking artists, their tropical clips etc.
Which leads me to wonder how the public would react if say, Mark Knopfler, turned out to be a fake. The music of Dire Straits hardly depended on personality of funky clips to be interesting...
Just for your information, Milli Vanilli never made music, at least not the two guys that were presented to us as being the artists. So when they were doing playback on stage, was that live?
Amen, brother. If you want to spend time watching rocks who are slowly turning around, go play in the garden with your little brother, or somebody else's little brother, for all I care. All you need is some reasonable sized stones, some red paint to mark a bullet on your head, and there you go.
Power management, docking station support, and Plug and Play capabilities for mobiles must be wholly ACPI-based, as APM support has been removed from Windows XP. [A3.4.7]
Argghhh! So my computer isn't even supposed to boot up then? My Mobo (MSI Apollo Pro 2a) has been forced (by me) to live without ACPI since I bought it, and so far the 3 different versions of XP I installed on it seemed to be perfectly fine with that...but the main reason everybody here seems to be ignoring as to why a computer needs to stop the customer from turning off ACPI is that when you have XP installed, and you then turn ACPI off, XP is dead, and stays dead, even when turning ACPI back on. You and I can fix that, but Joe Blow calls Microsoft for support...
But who needs a Geforce 3? a Decent Geforce 2MX 400 64mb/TV-out is perfectly affordable, and if you know what you're doing, you can even get some more performance out of it by moving the cute little sliders to the right...and fact is that PC can also be used for other purposes, assuming you didn't manage to find a good Spreadsheet program for Playstation 2:-)
Might be a nifty device to use as a stereo component with that S-Video out.
Well, it's a nice piece of machinery hardware-wise, but I wouldn't want it in my living room looking like that. Otherwise putting a DVD in that one 5 1/4 slot would be very interesting...

Apparently you didn't quite get the first movie though.
There is no spoon. Or in this case, no helicopter....

Dunno, but at least 8 of them are in my locker pretending to be "spare parts" :-)

They expect to find some people living in there, but only end up interviewing a couple of bums who live there.
So what are you trying to say, bums aren't real people?

What kind of Error/Exception Handling is in place?
Obvious:10 ON ERROR GOTO 10001000 RESUME NEXT
Since when are there average Joes on Slashdot? We're supposed to be nerds, and Cray kicking ass is , at least to us, news that matters....
You question government ergo you hate your country
I also question your good judgment, but that doesn't necessarily imply I hate you.....
Score:0(Troll)?

Nice. Now that I have the coat and the glasses, any idea where I might order the "guns, lost of guns" part?

In some ways it is, assuming I get a hold of the guy that did their sunglasses...

I used to have a Savage 4. Did anybody mention there aren't any good drivers for Win2000, or to please the zealots, for Linux?
So you are actually willing to admit having developed a chipset that contains a Savage 4? Wow, no wonder you're anonymous....
