And to make this on topic, I'm now making a decent living in the Boise area with no worries about finding another job should this one go away. Unemployment rate is in the 3's.
Um, yeah. That was a response to the obviously stupid remark that if windows/word crashes regularly, it is the user's fault. Incidentally, I do agree that Word is a good product.
Ok, but think of it this way. If Micro$oft is developing the copy protection scheme, piracy and subsequent conversion to other formats of these pay-per-view movies will be rampant. They can't even get an email client right. You could pay for your new dvd player with free movies.
Hmm... come to think of it, the ATM wouldn't process my request this morning. Perhaps it's already here. I'll probably get a copy of Windows XP in the mail now, having paid for it unwittingly at the MSWells Fargo kiosk.
It doesn't mean that we're screwed. It just means that some people will have to move. Even if the icecaps melt, they won't melt fast. If the oceans were to rise, people on the coast would have decades to move.
I have noticed that i have more trouble sleeping if my computer is not on. Its like sleeping with a fan in your room, except its a power supply fan. Of course, if i had an old scsi hard drive or some other such noise maker, i might think differently.
The power supply fan in my k6-2 350 died, and i ran the system 24/7 for several months like that. The case is always open, and i removed the cover from the power supply itself. It ran solid the whole time with no apparent ill effects. It also ran very quiet.
Yes, i know this is an electrical hazard and not recommended unless you feel lucky.

Now that's not true. I happen to know that there is at least one spammer that reads my blog.
Give yourselves bonuses, then lay off some US workers. Problem solved. What? You're not an executive?
I had that problem with -test1. Got around it by turning off ACPI support.

Are you a Microsoft employee?

I can't wait for the fuel cell powered laptop that you pee into. "Um.. excuse me, I have to go recharge my laptop."

2 million credit card numbers stolen from disney world by 12 year old with laptop...
Wouldn't it also make you a thief if you let someone borrow your phone? Or if you invite some people over to watch TV?
Hell, my previous boss once stated that an MCSE is equivilent to a CS degree. Of course he is an MCSE (NT) and a fairly impressive dumbass...
Well thats nifty and all, but it would be hard to kill someone with one of these. They just don't make things like they used to.
You don't need batteries. Wiggle the wire next to a magnet. And use your zen-like state of heightened awareness to sense the incoming data.

A virus is typically compact, well written, and efficient code. Therefore, Windows is a bug.
And pants...
He invented pants too.
