Could you explain your beer-renting metaphor? All the beer I've had in my life has either been free, or bought out-right.
The only thing I can think of is perhaps some crazy conspiracy where beer drinker's urine is captured, bottled, and re-sold (rented). This is certainly not the case in Canada, where all my beer comes from.
I was going to offer up Clippy as an example, but suffice it to say, he hasn't gotten any more annoying.
Office 2003 supports (tablet) inking directly to documents (.doc,.xls,.ppt, etc) out of the box, which is handy for editing and other such features (like drawing on your slides to get your point across).
Gah! Didn't you read what I said? Tablet PCs aren't limited to just being a "tablet." There is an increasing number of tablets being sold that are essentially laptops with a screen that can be operated using a stylus.
The implications of this are tremendous. The problem until now with tablets, was that it was rediculous to input large amounts of text. On-Screen keyboards are a joke, and suffice it to say, programs like Windows Journal are neat, but they aren't indended for writing up memos, letters, or even surfing the web.
The key is a laptop that has a screen that can be manupilated into either the traditional tablet position, or to the traditional laptop position. Tablets and pen-entry do have their moments, and I must admit that I find after getting used to the pen, it is sometimes easier to use than a mouse (an input device that I have been using for over a decade).
Not to mention there are tablets that are made using carbon fibre, so they're light as shit (or a feather), which makes them a joy to use in a mobile environment (imagine holding a regular laptop with one hand for an hour -- something that happens naturally with a tablet).
Anything you can do with a laptop, you can do with a tablet. Plus, you can do more with a tablet, and do certain tasks more effiently (such as editing documents), due to the fact that humans have been using similar writing utensils for centuries.
I definately hope "laptops" start being phased out, and replaced with laptops with a tablet.
Actually, tablets have come down in price. You can get a decent tablet from LG or Toshiba, for around the same price as a laptop. Not to mention that the latest tablets also douple as laptops (ie. The screen flips around).
The price of a tablet will never be less than the cost of a laptop. The cost of a laptop will not be rediculously low like that any time soon.
I'm not sure if this is a respect issues, as much as the fact that there is now a living, breathing human female standing directly in front of us, who is in need of our attention (for whatever reason).
Lots of guys cannot handle this, and the eye-gloss-standby mode is due to the fact that our brains are working overtime to try and figure out what to do.
There's no lack of respect. There's just a lack of knowing what the fuck to do.
This was the one part of the holodeck concept I never understood. Apparently, they explained how they managed to do it, but if they did, I either couldn't comprehend their fake physics, or it was so stupid I wrote it off as a new writer.
I always imagined them to be walking around in circles, so I guess this moving tile idea would solve that.

The anti-intuitive solution is to hit reload a couple times, hopefully hitting the server at the exact moment there are not too many connections.
Better still, instead of carrying, or downloading and importing your bookmarks, the following sites can be used on any OS, and any browser:
Yahoo! Bookmarks
Linkspage.org
MyBookmarks.com
iKeepBookmarks.com

Not for me and my ever increasing pornography collection.

RTFA! They don't take the water at all. They only take the coldness.
Awesome. Now I won't have to circle around the forest for so long.
At least I'll get less stares.
Hey! Wal-Mart has EVERYDAY LOW PRICES! They don't need a sale!
In any event, Wal-Mart does have actual sales.
As did I. My witty response was to the (unintentionally) ironic AC.

I think you're missing a '<' somewhere in there.

Don't forget: 0 is overrated if the post can still be modded down to -1!
Nevermind the mod guidelines that say you should promote, instead of demote!

Welcome to the real world, where high school zoology is wrong.
This should read:
First Posts on the popular slacker/hacker website Slashdot fell 197% this morning on news that gene therapy can cure procrastination.
Evolution shows we didn't decend from monkeys, but rather monkeys and humans decended from a common ancestor.
Either phrasing is correct, though the original makes more sense since, as humans, we already know that we like to slack.
in which profession hobby is it ok to do this?
I see pornographers do it all the time.

That must explain why my Bell Mobility signals are shit.
Wait. Wasn't it already?
