That's probably not the case. My Mazda Protege is limited at 119mph (190kph), even though the tires are rated up to 149mph (238kph). Yup, it came with V-rated bridgestone potenzas right from the factory.
By the way, speed itself doesn't kill (at least not directly). The two biggest causes of accidents are driver inattention, and driver inexperience (the second one can include driving too fast for the conditions)
This list is based on sales, not market capitalization. Microsoft is way up near the top in market cap, but not so in sales. This is because they are in a high margin business, with high profits, as opposed to walmart which has very narrow margins, and therefore lower profit and market cap.
If you look at the picture on this page, it looks like ctrl, alt, and del are all on there, and the ctrl and alt keys seem to be dedicated, so I don't think this would be a problem.
Let's see. Put the bike on the dyno. Start the engine. Put it in gear. Don't touch the throttle. Rear wheel starts to spin. Read gauges on dyno. It says 10hp, wow.
Who: Dave Campos
When: 14-Jul-1990
Where: Bonneville Salt Flats, United States
What: 322.15 mph
Dave Campos (USA), riding a 7-m. (23-ft.) long streamliner called Easyriders, powered by two 1,500 cc. engines, set an AMA and FIM absolute speed record of 518.45 km./h. (322.15 m.p.h.) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA, on July 14, 1990.
Sounds like the website of the ISP that will be servicing my brother's new house. They have fibre right to the basement, so I wanted to find out what the bandwidth options were (so I could decide if I wanted to move into his basement of course). I go to the website. The have a FAQ. It goes like this:
Q: How fast is the service?
A: Our service is the fastest available!
I didn't say we had started our implementation yet. We're still in the middle of the planning and design stage. Our first pilots will start in July. By the time we're ready for our full scale rollout, XP may well be what we roll out to many of our desktops.
That's why the sales numbers for 2K are low. It takes a lot of planning to roll out an entirely new platform, and it's only been a year since 2K was released.
"I don't know of any businesses that have rolled out Windows XP"
No kidding? Isn't it surprising that no businesses have rolled out a product that's not scheduled to release until 5 months from now?
"nor do I know of any that have done a serious desktop rollout of Windows 2000, for that matter"
So what am I doing working on a project to roll out Win2K to over 30,000 users? Many other companies are doing the same thing. They're mostly all still in the planning stages though, since it's a very big job to convert your whole infrastructure.
Don't get me wrong, I think Microsoft are pure evil too. However, there's no reason to resort to misinformation.
How many people employ a full-time driver/mechanic for their cars?
Very poor analogy, I'm afraid. How many People have a full time PC Tech guy for their home PC? You should be comparing the sysadmin to the fleet mechanic, which are employed full time by any sizable fleet operator.
Slashdot Mirror
Why would you clean something that can be replaced for $1.99?
Whadda ya mean 7 days. Considering I still can't sign in to it as we speak, in an hour and a half the outage will be into it's 9th day. Sheesh.

I think I'll test that method first on a worthless CD... now where did I leave that Glass Tiger disc?
"the satellites are only 360km above the ground (450 miles for you imperial types)."
There's a typo there for anyone doing the math. It should read "the satellites are only 780km above the ground (450 miles for you imperial types)."
Didn't look very hard, did you? ;-)
(No, I don't know anything about it's goodness, but that link should tell you all you need to know about compatibility)
It's interesting that they don't have IE for Solaris on x86, just on sparc. I guess if you've got an x86 you should be running windows, obviously...
"Lastly, what happened to Microsoft?"
This list is based on sales, not market capitalization. Microsoft is way up near the top in market cap, but not so in sales. This is because they are in a high margin business, with high profits, as opposed to walmart which has very narrow margins, and therefore lower profit and market cap.
I'm waiting more the the next step in tactile feedback devices. The full VR genital mitt, of course.

Yeah, I think you're a lot closer to reality that the author of this bit of drivel. I personally liked Ant's summary of this article over on the murc.
In particular is this quote: "It all starts off OK but then all of a sudden the LSD the guy dropped must have kicked in."
That about sums up the quality of this little bit of web journalism.
Lack of cheap upgradeability is one major thing not to like.
You mean like one of these? It's got a touch screen and a "digital notepad".
This is what I like about the Nokia so far, since you can never have too many input/output formats:
Multi-standard connectors supporting composite video
S-video or RGB
SCART signals for TV set and VCR
2x RCA connectors (analogue audio L/R)
1x S/PDIF coaxial digital audio output
2x ISO 7816-3 smart card readers (for conditional access and e-commerce)
1x PCMCIA connector (WLAN, GPRS)
2x USB connectors
2x IEEE 1394 connectors
1x RJ11 telephone connector
1x IR receiver (supporting RC-MM protocol)
1x RJ45 Ethernet interface (10/100 Baset)
1x Common interface port
Looks pretty future proof to me. Couldn't find out if the HD is upgradeable though. Hope so.
Let's see. Put the bike on the dyno. Start the engine. Put it in gear. Don't touch the throttle. Rear wheel starts to spin. Read gauges on dyno. It says 10hp, wow.
Idle doesn't mean that the bike is not moving.

You could at least make it into a link. ;-)
Might as well supply a link...

"the concept of a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"--a massive collection of obscure hyperlinked information"
Would this count as prior art against BT's patent on hyperlinks? Wouldn't that be ironic?

Or, maybe just some ill-tempered sea bass.
