That damned little puck-mouse that came with the Mac G3s. I used one for almost 2 years, and because it didn't support my palm correctly, it screwed up my wrist. I know that shortly after they came out, you could buy a cover that gave wrist support, but my previous employer wouldn't buy one, so my wrist has problems.
Of course, now I use trackballs almost exclusively, so it doesn't matter as much. Optical trackballs are SO nice!
I heard about this honey pot feature for network security. I installed them on each users computer, but they keep using the honey in their tea. Maybe it was not installed correctly?
Well, the simple solution would be to hire employees that like honey in their tea.
Does anyone else thing that the wakamaru looks a bit like a Dalek?
Someday, some hacker is going to reprogram these robots to run around screaming "Ex-Ter-Min-Ate" like a demented Hitler (until they fall down the stairs, at least).
That's the reason I keep a windows box around. If anyone comes knocking then it was a hacker that downloaded those Britney Spears tracks.
"You're under arrest!"
"No Officer, I swear that some hacker took over my computer and downloaded those Britney Spears songs. Honest!"
"Sorry son, but no hacker is that stupid. Come along..."
Anyone know what piece of music (classical?)is being played in the preview? I've heard it in a lot of ads and previews, but I've never know what it's called.
I've heard somewhere in the past that MAILING YOURSELF YOUR IDEA/LITERATURE/POEM/SONG/BLUEPRINTS and never opening the letter makes it a document that MAY hold up to prove you invented your idea.
Wouldn't hold up in court, since there are too many ways to open and reseal an envelope. The best solutions for this that I've heard is to give a copy to a credible lawyer, and have them lock it in a safe or safety deposit box until needed. But even then you may have problems (is the lawyer credible?)
well, I guess they need to get that jar jar binks death scene juuuuust right.
Naw. The actors kept screwing up just so they could kill Jar Jar again...and again...and again. Given the chance, I think most fans would do the same thing.
I don't think the problem with the Instant Sleep machine is the fact that your employer gets more productivity... the REAL problem is "Where's the time for sex?":)
Easy. The "Instant Sleep" machine would be right next to the "Instant Sex" machine. Step inside, and come back out "satisfied".
Run for your lives! There are scattered reports of the scientists turning into gigantic, green, muscle-bound monsters after beein exposed to the Gamma Ray Burst. Run! Hide! Flee!

It's an older PS1 game, but you should still be able to find it. Tiny little devils rotating dice to score points.....very addictive.
:)
Plus, it's still kinda cool to squash the other guy, even on cooperative mode!
...in the attack. You didn't say the magic word:
TERRORIST!
Because now, when I run over someone in GTA3, I keep expecting to get extra points for "artistic impression".
True, and then there's that whole "obtaining weapons-grade plutonium" problem, especially in this post-9/11 environment.
Besides, the Lybians aren't paying what they used to back in 1985...

Um, what about the people who run mailing lists? Just because you send out over 100 (or 1000) emails a day doesn't make you a spammer.
and (get this) a hardware-based random number generator
Oh, so it comes with a pair of fuzzy dice? What about a "Type R" sticker, so it'll SEEM faster?
is that electronic aper? paper? or diaper?
Oh crap, now there's two of them!
and I find it awkward enough lugging a normal case to a LAN party...
True, but at least you could use the carpool lane. Just prop your computer up in the front seat.
I remember first seeing something like this on Star Wars when I was kid ... now it's really happening. Life imitates art. ;)
Let the Wookie win!

...what about the Ford humans, the Dodge humans, and we can't forget about thos "import" humans from Honda, Nissan, etc. What about them?
Yes, at graduation time I was interviewed by a Microsoft guy, from their gaming department.
Sorry to hear that. Were you're grades that low?
I hope you sanitised yourself afterwards.

So, does that mean that if I look pr0n, my heart will beat faster and cause a buffer overflow?

He'll sue citing the DMCA.
Yeah, but where is HE going to find a lawyer? In Heaven? Yeah, Right!

...control your refridgerated microwave? That what I want to know.
It's not an April Fool's joke, but it is rather impractical.
Well, that's the point, isn't it? I mean, what's the point of being a geek if you can't do geeky, pointless things?
