Hollywood. Please stop with the remakes. Let's see something original.
How many remakes have they done over the past ten years or so?
Charlie's Angels Transformers Bionic Woman Alvin and the Chipmunks Bewitched Starsky & Hutch Lost in Space The Dukes of Hazzard Fat Albert Miami Vice.....
the list goes on and on.
Can't wait for the Thundercats and Get Smart movies.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe there's much of a demand for naked PCs. I used to sell computers and often times customers would ask me whether the computer came with any software, namely Windows (and sometimes MS Office), or not. From my experience, not only do customers want Windows to be pre-installed, but they expect it to be.
The same can even be said about a few customers who expected MS Office to be pre-installed too. "What? I'm buying a $500 computer and it doesn't even come with Office? How come?"
A lot... when you factor in things like your time maintaining Windows (downloading Windows updates, scanning for viruses, spyware, etc.), the cost of anti-virus/anti-spyware protection (Yes, I know there are free programs out there like AVG and Avast! but they have lower detection rates than Kaspersky and NOD32), etc.
If record companies want me to stop downloading music from P2P networks, they need to offer a better-quality product than that available for free. I can get all the 256kbps MP3s I want on P2P. The only way to make me even consider actually paying for a mere audio file (as opposed to a CD which has liner notes etc.) is to offer FLAC.
What a load of crock. Even if they offered the audio file in FLAC, I'm willing to bet you'd still illegally download the music via P2P. I can't believe you're trying to justify your actions by blaming the record companies for not offering the audio files in FLAC. Unfuckinbelievable. You've got some twisted logic there, son.
The day they do offer their songs in FLAC, you'd just find some other excuse to continue downloading them via P2P. You'll probably say to yourself, "I can get all the FLAC audio files I want on P2P for free. The only way to make me even consider paying for a mere audio file is if they can offer me something better than free."
Now, if this were copyright (c) niceone 2007, then I might be more likely to believe you, but since it's copyright (c) Me 2007, I know you don't own the rights to the summary.

They'll probably do something cheesey and make K.I.T.T. into some futuristic car like they did in Knight Rider 2000.
the other half are reading /.
is it powerful enough to run Windows Vista?
So what you're saying is that any number of those bids (perhaps even all of them?) couldn't possibly be fake bids?
I need someone to wipe out the images of goatse.cx and tub girl from my memory

I believe that should be www.utopianet.org.

What? You actually pay for your Adobe program(s)?
And we bring down a site from a link in the OP.
Same here.... especially when it still comes with a stinkin' comobo drive. Want a SuperDrive? You're gonna have to pony up for the $799 model.

The new iMacs are underneath the black cloth. Steve just covered them up after he showed them off.
In case someone's wondering, the Mac mini will be refreshed today. This was mentioned during their Q & A. But there was no mention of any specs.

reminds me of Bart Simpson's Shadow Knight.
if I sell my iPod to someone, or if I buy a used iPod off someone on Craigslist, eBay, etc.?
Call me a cynic, but maybe Apple wants to prevent the resale of iPods also, thus more $$$ for them.
Thanks to people who don't secure their wireless connections, I can get free internet access.
But the service sucks.
Another case of copyfraud.

Nice try though.
Did you hear? It can run Linux too.
You weren't seriously expecting the editors to proof-read and verify the submission, were you?
That's like asking them to spell-check everything. That will never happen.
