It sounds like Macrovote is what it actually does.
There no longer seems to be any reason to vote. Since our corporate overlords now control the elections, and control the candidates anyway, we should simply let them choose directly.
Wouldn't it be great if it was built on the inside with modern hardware to run OSX?
But then it would just be a Mac in an old-fashioned box, wouldn't it?
After some time, the whole "cuteness" of aged hardware wears off and you cease to be amazed with how far technology has come. It's only novelty for few days.
Right - which is exactly how long it would be fun to have a Mac in an old-fashioned box.
On TV the other night I watched in disbelief as a Stock Analyst recommend his viewers buy SCO stock. "There's a little problem with the ownership of the operating system," he said, "but we feel it will all be worked out soon enough".
...but I'm pretty sure
this one
is a fake. The phrase "till the cowcomes home" is kind of a giveaway.
And I was hoping to be able to send a funny link to some tech writer friends.
...is that if Mac or Linux were on top of the heap, they'd be getting all the viruses. Virus writers want their "work" to spread, so it only makes sense for them to write for the system that's by far the most widespread.
Touring is a real pain in the ass and most artists hate it. If someone wants a home and a family, they shouldn't need to rule out a career as a musician.
Sure, plenty of people are starving, but our middle classes are fatter and happier in terms of consumer toys than even the Inner Party in 1984.
Only because of cheap imported goods. Look at the price of things that cannot be imported, mainly housing and medical care. In most families, both parents have to work just to pay the mortgage. The average person's real income is actually dropping, but they can still buy plenty of toys because they are all made in China.
Definitely for PS2 games - as there are many I'm sure I will still play for years to come.
You say this now, despite also saying:
I rarely play any PS1 games anymore -
Nobody wants to play their old video games when they've got lots of shiny new one around. How many people play PS1 games on their PS2? Just about none, I think.
The Playstation 2 was released with a LOT of fanfare. It was announced 2 years before, pictures of the unit a year before...
A big part of that was to convince people NOT to buy a Dreamcast. If they did the same thing this time, they'd mainly be convincing people not to buy a PS2.
they plan on anchoring it off the coast of australia (or apparently thats a good spot for it) (i dont know why)
I assume it needs to be on the equater. I believe everything in geosync orbit is over the equater.
Anyway, the ribbon, though very long, will be extremely light. It has to be, or it will collapse under its own weight. This is why they propose using nanotubes. I can't imagine it will damage anything if it "falls".

Isn't this what the guys in the comic strip "BC" ride on?
After the amazing success of the Segway (over 6000 sold ALREADY) it seems natural that copycats would enter the fray.

Mabey you can name a material available in asteroids that's not available more cheaply and safely on earth.
So now instead of having a database of everything about everybody, the government will have a SECRET database of everything about everybody.
B.S. Sony will be named in the lawsuit because they have the most money. Funny how it's always the fault of the company with the most money.
Last winter, Philadelphia was more or less just a lump of ice and rock anyway.

They never said how many time they ran the program. It could have crashed twenty times previously for all we know.
Matt Groening created human-rabbit hybrids years ago.

What we need is EXTRA-caffeinated coffee.
That movie scared the sht out of me as a child. Thanks for bringing it back.
The "no gaming sites" internet filters at work will catch up with this in a couple of days...
Sturgeon's law: 90% of everything is crap. That's life.
They are not "assumptions". Aliens look like humans on Star Trek because they are portrayed by humans.
Stop using "transition" as a verb. "Change" works just fine.

Any Simpsons list that does not include Whacking Day is flawed.
