Reminds me of something I heard regarding the Vietnam war: "You know how to solve this thing, right? Take all the South Vietnamese, put 'em on ships, and nuke the country. Kill every living thing from China on down. When that's done, bomb the ships."
Wait...you don't see seti@home as a tremendous resource sink? Hmm. Protein folding would have been a decent example. Searching for little green men that aren't there is a lousy example.
Hey...not to burst your bubble or anything, but the M5 pulls a.90 on the skidpad...the 911 is better, with a.91...of course, the Corvette pulls a 1.00...sorry to be the one to break it to you.
For example, two recent Japanese motorcycles were so powerful and fast that the manufacturers "detuned" the engines at the prodding of various European governments
Talk about groups like Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Vex Red.. that's what I'm talking about.. these bands are ALL about what the fan himself/herself want..
All you know about me is what I've sold you, Dumb fuck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, Dip shit, And you bought one.
In your haste to say something you must've missed the part where McD's admitted knowing it was unnecessary and dangerous (not merely dangerous) to serve coffee at 190 degrees. That's negligent. There's a difference between hot coffee and dangerously hot coffee.
I agree that frivolous lawsuits are a pox on the legal system, but the McDonald's case had a point.
By its own corporate standards, McDonald's sells coffee at
180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. A scientist testifying for McDonald's argued that any coffee hotter than 130 degrees could produce third degree burns. Likewise, a scientist testifying on behalf of Ms. Liebeck noted that it takes less than three seconds to produce a third degree burn at 190 degrees.
During trial, McDonald's admitted that it had known about the risk of serious burns from its coffee for more than 10 years. From 1982 to 1992, McDonald's received at least 700 reports of burns from scalding coffee; some of the injured were children and infants. Many customers received severe burns to the genital area, perineum, inner thighs and buttocks. In addition, many of these claims were settled for up to $500,000.
Witnesses for McDonald's testified that consumers were not aware of the extent of danger from coffee spills served at the company's required temperature. McDonald's admitted it did not warn customers and could offer no explanation as to why it did not.
I don't give two shits about Open Source. Free as in beer, cool. I use Opera identified as Opera. It has a reasonable mail client, blocks popups, has a non-destructive "back" feature, allows multiple browsers in a single window, etc. It does what I want a browser to do, and cost me nothing. I use Opera because I like it.

None of it's products are "best of breed".
Really? Maybe not OSs, but Office pisses on anything else out there, and IE still rules the web (not that I use it or anything)
I used to do tape rotation for Nielsen (among others at EDS). Hadn't thought of that for a long time. Thanks for triggering some pleasant memories.

Couldn't they sell support?
Oh, I crack me up.

Hmm, this post seems familiar
Sorry, this is WAY off-topic, but...I found goats last week and spent a day reading through it. Wonderful stuff. Thanks.
Crappy warranty, yeah, but GM rebuilt my engine twice and replaced it once (third time's a charm!) under warranty, so I'm a fan.
Maybe numero uno, but not the only one

Ever heard of a little company called General Electric? That's right - T. Ed. is dead, but his company lives.
I live in Memphis. There's dick for a "local IT industry"
Jef Raskin, too. I just finished _The Humane Interface_ a few days ago, and am contemplating rereading it soon. Good stuff.
Free Clues if you can think of worthy questions.

I wish I had the points to mod this up.

What two? (Serious question)
What's assymetric?
"We can do this thanks to ADSL (assymetric digital subscriber lines) and fiber-to-the-home."
Well, I didn't buy into it, but I was willing to keep paying attention, just in case. Was the server crash real?
Ho-lee-shit
Did you go to that site's root document?
