I have been hit by a car as a pedestrian by a distracted motorist that was admittedly texting while driving - thankfully I was not killed. We are going to allow even more temptation to multitask behind the wheel? These things should be backseat only or banned completely.
We crack down hard on DUI/DWI but this trend has the potential to be just as onerous.
They have since cleaned up their site . . . but they were using every type of outmoded, pseudo seo hacks - alt tag spamming, invisible #FFFFFF links at the bottom of their pages pointing to keyword spam duplicate pages ad nauseum
So don't whine if you get back slapped

Buy Vista or Else

This is nothing new . . . we live in an society (post 9-11) where everything is predicated on fear. "Buy our anti-bacterial hand soap or your kids may die!!" , "Buy this ADT security system or you are a failure as a parent" . . . marketers and the government have embraced the ubiquitous power of fear and uncertainty to sell everything from tampons to troop deployments . ..ad nausea infinitum
Personally I am more afraid of deploying Windows Vista than not, and Microsoft can stick the DRM in the orifice of their choice.
There is a side of the story that they are not reporting. The hackers Jeb and Jesse are using the hacked value cards to buy more value cards - hmmmmmm?
Its the naked pixies that influence my GPU purchases. If I am going to drop $500.00 on the latest GPU it better have a naked pixie tech demo. Errr wait didn't NVIDIA try that . ..it didn't make me buy their leaf blower GPU. (remote power station not included - see store for details)
In the larger context Windows XP SP2 is supposed to be this omnipotent, ubiquitous security update to address the current fallacious state of Microsoft OS security . ..and yet by denying it to a large number of OS pirates they leave a gaping hole in their entire campaign. Not to mention the unpatched user base will still inflict damage on the internet (and their own install base) as a whole.
They have to patch the illegal copies also - for the good of all mankind (tongue in cheek)
How about creating a CD to make the internet safe from Windows XP Maybe something that strips out the entire TCP/IP stack - a castration of sorts for the good of all mankind
My name is Bill and I pronounce Windows -- WeenDOHS
Many of these articles (including this one) read like they were written by the marketing departments for the respective hardware companies . ..including excerpts obviously taken directly from sales literature. I am finding it increasingly more difficult to trust any of these "independent" review sites . . .
George has had robots capable of traversing realworld environments for decades. No not those robots silly. ..I submit for your review
1) Hayden Christensen
2) Natalie Portman
3) The other little turd who played Anakin
Shit only Lucas can make even highly competent classically trained actors behave like robots - he perfected the art long ago so this story is moot
I also have a second unlisted line . ..but I use it for dial up internet access (unfortunately). What is wrong with this country when you are afraid to answer your primary phone line for fear of [your choice here] ???
But they failed to explain how Jesus walked on water. Did he use his mid leg pair as oars and his back pair as steering wheels ? How do those Riverdance guys do what they do ? Blashphemy is fun - Nay that we may walk in the footsteps of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ we will drown in the glory of his name when the water gets too deep . . .
Will my asbestos underoos protect me from the hellfire ?
You obviously do not have a clue what it takes to ride in the Tour De France. If you did you would realize it is the most grueling affront to the human body imaginable and even a 3 gram bike would not minimize the difficulty. The Kenyans running a marathon barefoot have it easy. Try riding a bike 150 miles a day in the Swiss Alps for 3 weeks straight - oh wait . ..they get a few "rest/travel" days

Not really large scale IT purchasing related but on a personal note my low end P4 system is simply not stressed by any of the current games or applications that I use. Mr Carmack will probably single handedly determine when my next upgrade will occur in lieu of the release of Doom 3. I think a lot of PC makers and graphics card manufacturers have their fingers crossed that Carmack and Valve will drive PC and hardware sales for the 4th quarter of 2003.

. . . turn Hobbits into cash - it is actually a pretty involved process like breeding an army of Uruk-Hai - lots of resources and planning
If they had this on Apollo 13 they would not have been able to save the mission . . . distraction and "other" activities would have taken precedence
Apparently now the makers of Ben Wa Balls ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wa_balls/ ) have gotten wind of this fracas and have filed their own injunction

Let me guess a bizarre time paradox will result in an alternate reality, allowing them to re-imagine the series. Where have I seen that before?

I replied, "Sweetie, I married you for your trust fund not your cluster size."

Hint: Rockhound had to take me to Taipei to buy some Tampax(R) and then he had to show me how to use them.
