Too true. Also add (for those of us in the U.S.) that we'd be using the Metric system at the same time, as well as driving electric cars powered by renewable, clean power sources (and using lots more public transportation), eating only healthy food, and wearing hemp-based clothing instead of cotton-based. *shrug*
Vote for me for Dictator, and I shall solve _all_ these problems, and more!:)
You may not want an Athlon 64 simply because it's 64-bit capable, but because it runs 32-bit x86 software (on average, depending on application, of course), faster than anything else. Even if you never run it in 64-bit mode, it's still the fastest thing out there, especially for the money. Don't worry about the 64-bit stuff for now.
Wait for Socket 939 boards & CPUs - the current Socket 754 has a very limited lifespan. Socket 939 processors are due VERY soon now (just saw the first leaked report on one yesterday). FYI.
Of course, this doesn't apply if you're thinking about the Opteron, with its Socket 940.
But it's also MUCH more unsafe compared to a car, cannot carry more than 2 people, is not appropriate for bad weather, has higher insurance costs (just a guess), requires a more skilled operator.
For the vast majority of people, a motorcycle doesn't meet the 'realistic' criterion mentioned earlier. Though, they _are_ cool.:)
Uhm, no, you lose. You clearly don't know what blog software does. It is NOT the same as an HTML editor, which is what you seem to think.
3 lines of CGI isn't going to handle multiple weblogs, multiple authors with accounts & permissions, user accounts, pinging & trackbacks, RSS/Atom feeds, etc.
Too bad, if true, as I like Hoshi, but the actress definitely needs to restart her career - Enterprise is doing nothing for her aside from providing a steady paycheck.
Since both Andromeda & Mutant X have been cancelled, Enterprise can hire those excellent writers to improve the show. Perfect. (I kid!:)
Oh, plus Enterprise should hire more babes - the babes of those two shows (especially Lexa Doig, the hacker 'Cowgirl' herself!) would certainly improve ratings.
When the 'new Trek' concept was being worked on, it was apparently down to two concepts - the 'pre-Federation' concept (which we got), and a more military-themed one about a Starfleet strike force of some type, with lots of fighting. Let me tell ya - Enterprise got a lot better right after they added more fighting (and a military team aboard Enterprise, which they've totally wasted so far). It seems obvious that they chose the wrong concept.
Though I do like what they've been doing with T'Pol, but they've basically eliminated Hoshi and others this season, which is too bad. I certainly like this collection of characters more than those of any of the other Treks, as a whole. DS9 had a _really_ annoying cast of characters. (Okay, I loved Ezri just too damned much!)
Go for the high-cost, and highly satisfying option of a sexy personal secretary. One who can take care of all typing needs, as well as any other needs you may have while travelling (or not).

"Off-beat." Heh. That's an interesting way of putting it. :)
Hey, if they _really_ want to get nerds to sign up fast, they should make sure the membership cards are numbered. *evil grin*
Yeah, a commemorative bullet through the head. Damned skinjobs; they give me the creeps.
And my personal tip: Instead of using steak sauce or ketchup, try some nice Time Traveller(tm) Brand 'Trilobyte Sauce.' Yum!
Mmm, broiled dino-burgers. Dem's good eatin'!
Plus they're Atkins-approved!

Yep, and around the same time, we'll all be typing on Dvorak keyboards in Esperanto talking about the new flat tax. :)
Dude...pixie dust is for harddrives.
It's probably all Wheaton's fault. :)

Hey, don't forget the cow poop!

Mmmm...Methane...
Oh yeah, and the french fry grease. If we're going to be a fast food nation, we might as well get _some_ benefit from it.

> I'd like to see the greenines push a more reliable, inexpensive and realistic solution to the problem.
Hmm, interesting wish. Reliable, inexpensive, and realistic. Pick any two.

Well, not Rom, but I agree that Quark was pretty cool.

Trust me on this.
Why would McDonalds care about Linus wearing British Knights shoes?
Yeah, but not only is it 1/3 less code, it's also infinitely more BORKtastic!
You might even say it's BORKalicious!
BORK!BORK!
10 PRINT "BORK!"
20 GOTO 10
See - 1/3 reduction in code!
Geeks don't have dogs, so no, not geeky enough. Dogs are for people who enjoy country music, sporting events, and going outside. :)
Get a cat. To be really geeky about it, you should name it either 'Five' or 'Script'.
Well, either the Sun or Canada.
I have to support Mr. Burns on this one. Since the dawn of time, Man has yearned to destroy the Sun. I say go for it!
