You need dual+ monitors for when you want to open two seperate things. It's not that often other than movies, which are better seen in my home theater setup anyhow than a smallish computer monitor (in comparison).
Very rarely do I want something to strech across 2 screens or be that wide, however all the time practically it's great to have dual monitors that you can maximize to easily. If you had one big screen when you wanted to maximize your browser it'll take up the entire widescreen so you would end having to manually resize it to only take up a smaller amount. With 2 screen it's simple and in the rare case I want something double size I can strech it across if I want. Seems like a better solution. If I want my calendering program or a document open in one screen and a browser in the other doing research with multiple windows to toggle between not having to manually size them is significantly better.
Or say you want some small programs on the sie playing music, signed in to aim, etc. you can leave those on the secondary and do the rest of your work on the primary while still having it be easy to keep an eye on those other apps without having to worry what programs are open trying to cover up everything else and come into the foreground.
Call open source the software of choice among terrorists. If it takes hold and any terrorists there get caught with it on their machines look for microsoft and the government to start pointing fingers.
People are getting to dang PC if they can't seperate the goings on within a game to what's actually going on in real life. This does need to be allowed to stay in stores if for nothing else then for free speech. If a particular retailer doesn't want to sell it than so be it, but an all out ban on a game being sold is stupid.
I always heard it (speed around turns with a yellow sign) was for ambulances going around the turn that they could safely take it with a patient in the back. There are lots of semi's that couldn't do turns even at the posted turn advisory limits.

Spammed by Bluetooth

When the Sony Ericcson's came out with bluetooth they made them come with the bluetooth turned off by default. When Nokia came out with their bluetooth phones they had them ship with it on by default. Soon on the Sony Ericson message boards people found they could discover the nokia's in a crowded place (movie theaters, etc.) and you could create a contact in you contact list and then send them that contact. This has the benifit that you message is actually the contact name which the person on the recieving end will actually see first so they don't have to click OK and then get the message...it's already there.
Anyhow, it's much better in Europe for this type of thing as they've had GSM phone and associated cool features such as bluetooth for quite some time while America is just starting to catch on. I've done discoveries with mine and never had any success connecting or seeing any other bluetooth activated phone that wasn't purposly turned on for the connection. I wonder if Nokia has caught on and is leaving bluetooth off on their America bound phones.
It http://neurosis.mit.edu/foo/index.cgi?state=refres h&rand=879021865 has the screen where random people can type messages into a screen in the stall..could just as easily be stock updates and whatnot.
The one main thing I really hate about OSX and macs in general is that when you click the X in the top right it should close the program completly. Why would you have a close button like that and not actually close and remove the program from memory. Espically if it is just one instance of the program. If you aren't really thinking about it, it is very easy to have a ton of stuff loaded in memory which you then have to go make two clicks to exit. Bah.
Also, they need to have a better ability to open a program and have a one click ability to make the program go full screen. Having to drag everything out to full screen gets quite annoying. Luckily it's just my wife that uses mac's for the most part (graphic design) and I get to use my windows and linux boxes that are much more intuitive.
Oh, and to those who complain about the color scheme of XP luna well all you have to do is select the silver color scheme and you have the best looking version of windows around. Very "professional." Significantly more so than a dock at the bottom that pops up with 8 icons and whatnot that bounce around. KDE and Windows just are more usable with a docking bar that shows what you actually have open and an idea of what it is you are looking at. A little black arrow under an icon in OSX of a program that might be closed yet still loaded in memory is just not helpful in the least.

Kleenex is happy to have prople in general refer to tissue as kleenex. However, they would not be OK if Puff's brand tissue changed their name to Puffs kleenex. Anyone could agree with that. So the same is true with Google, they probably like that you say to google for it when needing information, but if another search engine starts to describe itself as a googler then that is bad and would be a copyright infringement for sure. Part of this is that kleenex is a noun so it just stays that way in normal usage. But, if google became some everyday verb then you are asking for problems with other companies incorperating it into their names. Google is just trying to be pro-active to keep the watering down from occuring and it's a good thing for them to do so.
I had/have a 10 gig Fujitsu MPG3xxxx Drive that went bad a couple weeks ago. Was very annoying, had my Linux partitions on it and data and I ended up losing it all. Their online RMA thing went pretty smooth though so I'm glad in that respect with them. I hope they somehow make this more known to people other than Slashdot so everyone doesn't lose their data past those who already have. Explains a lot though.
they are just searching the web and displaying the pics? How would this fit in to all this? Might they be the first casualty since they are large enough and prominant enough to be sued?
so that could be at least one reason for not supporting it as you couldn't really slap a AOL cd in or anything and as I don't remember there being a hard drive in it, just a little flash memory, then you would not be able to even load the software. You could probably easily use earthlink or any local dial up ISP that you are partial too.

I just called and it just rings and rings with no answer. Guess they've caught on. Do we have another phone #?

midgets are such a small unit to measure with though....
It really wouldn't surprise me if they lost data. What a load of poop that program is. Makes you wonder what backup software that they actually use.
literally!
Get SP4 which gets the .1x support back.

Or are they just going to come in an email when they are done collecting data? It'd be nice if they had a current results page or something up.
they loved the drive and it smoked any and all ATA drives around. This is pretty cool for sure.
I truly hope this is a PHONEy article!

At about 5pm when it got dark the camera flashes started going off, this pissed off the director as it was interfering with his film...
