No no no. You "give the gift of Slashdot" to the Engineering department of your major competitor, thus guaranteeing productivity grinds to a halt and you dominate the marketplace.
Fair enough, thanks for responding. I pretty much feel the same way, and your sig piqued my interest. Perhaps one of these days I'll break down and write them a check. As far as I know they're not anti-Second Amendment, they just take no stance on it.
I'll get modded down, but I'm really curious here. From your sig:
What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?
Do you ACLU?
I assume the first part is referring to the Second Amendment ("...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"). The second part, interestingly enough, refers to the ACLU, whose mission is to tirelessly and unfailingly defend every single Constitutional Amendment... except the Second.
I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass here, I'm honestly interested because as much as I want to, I can't support the ACLU due to their selective Amendment defense. You seem to have no problem with it. Is there something I'm missing here? I hope you respond, I'm sincerely curious.
once console games are designed to work with these OSes, console modding will really take off.
In turn, killing the console (in my opinion).
I have a PC. I use it for computing. I have a console. I use it for playing games precisely because I know that ny game that says "Your Console" on the label will work, no questions asked. I don't need to worry about if my hard drive is big enough, or my video card has the latest drivers, or anything else that causes games to just not work on my PC.
Just my opinion, of course. But the day I need an add-on to my console to play a game I just bought is the day I give up on consoles.
That seems sort of backwards to me. In Massachusetts you get a $5 discount for renewing on-line! The rationale is that you are saving the previous DMV employees' time I suppose.
I sincerely doubt that the chip IBM winds up fabbing for the next Xbox is going to be identical to the version currently shipping in Apple's G5 desktops.
Think about that statement for a minute...
Suppose Microsoft's goal is to do exactly that: Include the Apple-version G5 in their gaming console. What better way to poke fun at Apple than to have, as a marketing strategy, "Yeah, their machines are so fast, we use their CPU's as toys".
SUVs are basically a pickup truck with a permanant top
That USED to be the case, but it's getting to be less true. A pickup truck has a good old-fashioned steel frame, with a seating area and a bed bolted to it. More and more SUV's are going the "unibody construction" route. Makes them handle nicer and have stiffer (i.e., more car-like) bodies. Not good at all if you want to use it to do serious work (as I do, I have a 10-year-old Toyota pickup that looks like hell but just won't die, and still gets 26 MPG). But yes, plenty good for commuting up 128;)
My single biggest gripe is that $12 is still too much to take a chance on. The radio plays the same 15 songs over and over, day in and day out. Since I'm not interested in those 15 songs, sometimes I feel the need to take a chance. But aat $12 a pop, I still won't.
Caller ID, man. My wife is amazed at how every single last time her mom calls and she's not home to take the call, I'm in the can. I think she's starting to worry about my digestive issues.

Sort of like herpes...

You can also add your own dialog this way.
Cue "The Simple Life" commercial. Paris Hilton appears on screen. Me, in a really bad falsetto: "I only had to blow 26 guys to get on this show!"
Try this with 40 shows
Are there really 40 must-see shows every week? Offhand I can think of three I really like to watch, and two that I catch if I can.
40 shows... Mind boggles...

The only "content" that is worth anything is the content that hasn't been developed yet. If it's already been made, it's valueless.
Somebody better tell that to all those stores selling DVD's and CD's full of pre-existing content!
I feel safer from terrorists already!
Uh-oh. I hope the FBI doesn't see I made this post with the word "terrorists" in it and IJ*&^Tu

Now THAT is a truly nifty (and evil) idea!
If you buy your steak at Chili's, you get what you pay for.
I've been known to scream out "Intruder Alert!" at semi-random times. I loved Berserk.

In July, IBM reached a three-year sponsorship deal with the NFL.
They're going to advertise Linux during televised NFL games? Isn't that sort of like advertising beer during Oprah?

Probably, what's the API call to format the C:\ drive?
The solution: Mailinator

$50k -- which is a pretty darn good living wage, even for a couple
Maybe if you want to live in flyover country. 50k doesn't cut it on the east coast (nor the west from what I hear).
Did they really call some proposed format "DVDA"?
/.?), "DVDA" is an acronym for, well, let's say a woman who just can't get enough.
For those non-pr0n fans out there (any on
I don't know, I mean you'd have to buy Erin Gray too. I think she might want more than $40k.
synergize the business potential of the graphics medium
I'm sorry, this is Slashdot. You must be looking for Marketroid.com.
if you really want it, you *can* still get serviced by a real, live flesh-and-blood person
I want it!!!!! I'm sick of humping my printer port!!!!!
CDBaby has a quite a few. Some with downloadable music.
Wow! I haven't bought a CD in almost 2 years, but I just might wind up buying a few today from that site. Never heard of it before now, thanks!
