Instead of artists putting their own record company together, don't you think a Union might work better?
I mean, in the past, when the truckers were being shit on, they didn't all get together and start their own Trucking Company, they formed the Teamsters.
Well, yes, the word is being mis-used in its truest form...but over time, language can and does change. Purists will put up a fight, but even they will be turned, over time.
Other words that have "lost" their meaning:
factoid (FAK-toid) noun
Unverified or inaccurate information that is presented in the press as factual, often as part of a publicity effort, and that is then accepted as true because of constant repetition.
enormity (i-NOR-mi-tee) noun
1. The quality of passing all moral bounds; excessive wickedness or outrageousness.
2. A monstrous offense or evil; an outrage.
3. (Usage Problem) Great size; immensity.
fulsome (ful-sum) adjective
1. Offensively flattering or insincere.
2. Offensive to the taste or sensibilities.
3. (Usage Problem) Copious or abundant.
as well as... sycophant, notorious, and fortuitous.
98lite is a selective feature installer for Windows 98, 98SE and Me that modularizes Windows features, applets and sub-systems into optional components that may be user installed and un-installed "on-the-fly".
I couldn't find any information that WinXP was supported. Please, please, please show me where it says 98lite supports WinXP and I will stand corrected. But until then, I will completely disagree with you that it works for the "latest" version of windows.
Win98, and Win95 aren't their current OSes. I'm fairly certain MS' latest OSes *do* have IE integrated. Those programs can't and won't work for Win2K or XP.
I really wouldn't be surprised to hear that Microsoft intentionally integrated IE with its newer OSes for legal purposes as opposed to genuine software-requirement purposes. I think it would be a lot harder to legally tell MS to de-integrate IE with their OS rather than legally telling them not to package IE with their OS.
Win98 and Win95 are slowing becoming too obselete to be used in the IE integration argument.
I agree that the price is a little much...but as far as sound quality goes, everyone I know who has connected their sound card to their stereo hears a barely audible ~50Hz hum on the channel. Most people who connect to their stereo do it to play there music loud(er), in which that barely audible hum becomes quite audible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't heard a sound card that doesn't put this noise on the line.
Yo dude. You sound like an old-timer saying, "10 cents! 10 cents was a lot money back my day. Why, back then, for 10 cents, you could buy blah blah blah..." Well guess what? 1.44MB IS tiny.
Memory size today ~256MB
-1.44MB is 0.5% of that.
Memory size yesterday ~1MB
-64K is 6.4% of that.
My numbers are most likely a little off. But you get the idea. As Garth once said to Wayne,

Gee it only took the open source community 5 people to write a correct for loop, no wonder MS thinks they can outsmart the os community.
How did this get modded down?!?!?! This was a funny comment! I'm for open source, but c'mon, give a funny comment its props!
Please, enlighten us who aren't aware of the brand names and equipment used in some of the 'regular ways'.
Seriously, I'm interested in cheap home security options (read: do-it-yourself-security-cameras). But I don't even know where to begin.

Using Molecules as Building Blocks!!!! WHOAH! Jebus! That's never been done before.
...and this little factoid,
"about 64 bits of data, thousands of times smaller than the 128 megabytes"
More like 2 million times smaller.
But seriously, now, isn't this aricle a bit to dumb-downed and fluffed up for Slashdot?
Oh...wait. We don't read the articles anymore.
Hold on people. Let's take a look at the source here:

Hmmmmm...Just think about this for a second. They even refer to themselves as 'headhunters'.
Now why would a headhunter website post a top-ten list about why you should accept a headhunter's offer over your exsisting company's counter-offer?
Always consider an author's motivations before you read anything. Especially advice.

Take it for what its worth, which might not be much--I'm an engineer. I prefer calculators over dictionaries.

I *have* read the site. It says,

Well, considering that 92% of all people "pee their pants" when panicking...what's the use of a toity in a panic room?
They should stock that room with loads of extra pants!
Sorry, but I fail to see how doing the math is more clever than a proof--unless I missed some sarcasm here.
Minus the fact that "it's close" doesn't really count in Math, especially proofs. (If it did, I would've had a 4.0!)
