I'm looking forward to somebody starting over some day and coming up with a language that supports generic programming as well as C++, but which doesn't have the terrible syntax of C++ templates. It must be possible.
Hell, I'm an educated, straight, white, christian, american male, aged 18-35... I might as well be satan himself as far as the rest of the world is concerned...
Of course, instead of growing, the whole unit would now have a tendency to migrate across the room...
Gives a whole new meaning to the term "data migration", doesn't it?

Please stay where you are. The copyright police will be there to arrest you for your DMCA violation. We don't give a damn if it's parody or fair use. That's Alice's Restaraunt, and you used it without paying! You're under arrest!
Spend your "toy budget" at Circuit City or PC Club instead...that's what I've done.
I agree about PC Club (bought my last machine from them), but aren't we still mad at Circuit City for the DIVX (the crippled DVD, not the codec) fiasco?

Would it be legal to write in an EULA that my software X cannot be used on the same computer than software Y, and uninstall it without warning if it finds it?
Dude, that's exactly what happened.

Nope, the OP was right. He used the principle by taking the crown, a block of gold, and a block of silver, all three of which had the same weight, and showing that the crown was not pure gold by measuring the volume displaced.

Oh, now *THAT'S* real intuitive and user friendly!
I'll try it, but why should a *USER* have to run the setup for OpenOffice? That's what administrators are for!
Yep, that's exactly what happened to me with 641c/d. Install was OK, but you couldn't run as non-root.
Anybody got a solution for MDK 8.1?
You are disabling "access control".
I could never get 641d (or c) to work properly on my MDK8.1 system. It always coredumped.
Is 1.0 more stable than 641d?

Ada 95?
You don't have to. When DST comes on, you skip an hour. The problem occurs when DST turns off.
Remember, "Spring Forward, Fall Back".
Anyway, the solution is:
0130 PDT (first 1:30, DST)
0130 PST (second 1:30, standard time).
What's the problem?
My 98 system went down this weekend, lost everything. I went to reinstall Ofice 98.
Wow! How did you get a Mac version of Office (98) to install on Win98?

Nope, only her Pepsi commercial on Superbowl Sunday.
Britney would sing about how great Pepsi tastes
Two things.
1) Doesn't she do this already?
2) You actually listen to Britney Spears?
the key depression rate was WAY off from what was showing up on the screen
No, they were just running MS windows and MS office. That caused the key backlog!
Darn it, you beat me to it!
Norm Macdonald sucks, but that's one of his better lines.

You lose. Replace "christian" with "jewish".

Combine this with their backing of access controlled "silver disks with music" (to use Phillip's term), and we have a new Evil Retailer(tm).

That's volume displacement for submerged objects.
Their USB scanners aren't supported either. I've got a 2100U... Come to think of it, the Win2K drivers for the thing are kludgy too...
are they cutting back on the marketing because it turns the traditional SW fans off
What "cutting back on the marketing"? I was at the grocery store yesterday and I saw a stack of boxes of "Star Wars Episode II" cereal. I kid you not.
Yep, it's elephants all the way down.
NOTE FOR THE UNEDUCATED: I'm referring to the implied recursion in saphena's post.
