Somewhere a giant alien is holding a hand held laser near our galaxy saying "its only 100 mega kawabs, but it should punch a hole through this disk...."
Why didn't this argument come about sooner? That would explain what happened 6,000 years ago (Back when God created the Universe, which has done nothing but upset people, and generally viewed as a bad idea).
I can see it now... "Honest officer, I didn't mean to rev the engine and burn rubber through that red light. I looked down and realized I'm COVERED IN SPIDERS!!! AHHH!!!" (speeds off).
"...and to commemorate their latest acquisition, Western Digital announces a new line of ultra-green drives...a spokesman had this to say..."
"Yep, these drives are so power-conservative, they actually stop consuming power permanently 30% faster than our previous line. We're calling them 'Hitachies'"
What city is this land of (nearly) free, you speak of? I must find this part of the U.S.A. before it's stamped-out by the Feds. I pay $5 for someone to park my car, after I drive it there, first! Surely this land of "movies that cost as much as the DVD-R they're burned on" and "happy pizza with special topping" is somewhere within the confines of my beloved United States! (Or Canada)
Don't let Tosh2.0 find out they're ripping-off his schtick. It took him three whole shows just to suck a metric litre of ass and hold it without coughing.
Lumpy ol' buddy! Where you been hiding, chummer? I've got some really whiz kit from our friend, Benny the Fence! He says all the latest deckers are talking it up on the NewFax!!
G'luck in yer struggles!

Ahem, excuse me, Mr. Indian Nation; turns out a side effect of "replacing" many of the math, science, and IT jobs within the Western world would be a serious lack of "Fuck" given to your "Space Programme".
I don't care if the outcome was that he got free ice cream and a blow job, that is still ridiculous treatment.
Quit your day job....NOW! The TSA needs droves of forward-thinkers like you! Just be sure to strike down their current "gender of the officer is the same as the victim" policy.
And if you follow your link, then the link to "1-4" sockets, you'll be taken to the page where you can purchase "Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription for Non-Oracle Hardware (1-4 socket server)"
Are you seriously comparing not being able to view your facebook page with killing your family by driving over a cliff?
Depends on how fascinated they are with the likes of the "Jersey Shore".
And it was a long time until Firefox showed up on the scene.
True. However, while MSFT was spoon feeding everyone IE5 5.5 & 6, we had the Mozilla Suite 1.7x (02apr03), which became SeaMonkey (30jan06) after Firebird and Thunderbird were forked out of the code base. THEN Firebird was renamed Firefox, an ad was put in the NY Times, and the world started to pay attention.
What he thought it meant: Fill out a piece of paper advising everyone that the application was going to change and who they could blame if it didn't work...two weeks ahead of time.
Hate to tell you this, but as far as your boss is concerned, he's right. Remember, there are always shared acronyms and terminology across managment and techies. Techies have to learn "Managment-Speak" (get at least three ranks in this one, it's important!).
Technically, you were correct, however if you had said "Version Control Softare (VCS)", a different lightbulb would have gone off in his head. However, there's always the distinct possibility he, being a PHB, knew exactly what you meant, and intentionally twisted your words so he could put another bullet-item on his quarterly accomplishments list.
Let that be a lesson to you; keep good ideas to yourself until they're ready to enter Production.:)
Ha. It's been said before that computers won't teach you anything. To an extent that's true. It's the software that counts.
I stumbled across Uplink once at a Half-Price books. Great game for teaching you the fundamentals of a computer.
You want kids to learn geography? Go war-games on them.
You detect an incoming ICBM from the capital of Iran. Stike first before their's hits you!
Launch Retalitory Nuclear Strike against:
A) New York
B) Baghdad
C) Tehran
D) Berlin
Include cheezy "Three Dee" graphics like every $10 Office Depot game has now days and you have a surefire winner.
Better yet, want to teach them math? Get a good ol' USMC Sniper Manual and teach those kids the math behind bullet-drop.
Can you imagine the global freakout that would transpire if by some miracle they patched 10,000 bugs on one patch Tuesday, pushing what's essentially a reinstall.iso through Windows update? People would be leaping from windows.
Opening Scene: Outside, Dick has finished scaling the outside of a 10 story building. Down below, a few UNIX guys from I.T. are having a smoke and watching intently...
Tom(to Harry): "Holy crap, is that Dick up on the roof??"
Funny. I recall the command syntax for that one lets you setup intervals per second. That would be the "black foot" that gets you out of the "icy lake" phenomenon you describe.

at 3am your servers aren't screaming at you until you clean up their feces and feed them.
Sounds like someone's shop doesn't use Windows...

If you "steal" from your neighbor you feel remorse. If you "steal" from Satan you don't have any regrets.
Not where I live. If you're caught stealing from your neighbor, he's likely to shoot you.
Satan, on the other hand, has more than likely already attempted to sue you several times for "stealing" from him already.

Pfft, Britan. Glad my ancestors were smart enough to split that dive and setup someplace safe for me to live....

Wait, your Username is "Oracle"? Speaking as someone with a significantly lower UID than you; Go to hell.
Go to hell, and die.

Close Scene: Fade to black, display "I'm a PC, and Windows 7 was my idea" slogan.
the stupidity gene has some uncanny survival factor
stupid people are less selective during the breeding process
Agreed. That, and for some reason we have to warning labels on EVERYTHING. Granted, some of them are a bit misleading
"CAUTION: Do not iron while wearing shirt"
Seriously, people?!?!
