All of a sudden I'd be complaining bitterly about the overpriced bandages. When a nurse pulled out one of the hospital's bandages, I'd say, "No no no-- wait, don't open that! My wife went and got some bandages from CVS. Here, use one of these."
"What? You put a Jarvik heart inside me? No, no, no. I want an OEM heart. Here, I even have one with me. Now take out the Jarvik and put this one in."
The larger block size is bad if you have a lot of little files, but better if you have fewer large files.
This will just encourage Microsoft to stop using INI and XML files and to store more settings the in the big REGISTRY...
These testimonials by actual BB employees are interesting, but I have noticed that they are all limited to in-store sales people. Where are the testimonials from the web developers, data entry people, site maintainers? Someone has to administer these machines, or write the code for the pages.
Also I have never seen techs load tcp/ip stacks on systems that fail to authenticate to a domain controller. Sound odd? It happens with Dell corporate desktops. At a former college they had a guy whose sole job was to run around with a diskette that had the proprietary tcp/ip stack.dll files for failing Dell pcs. Incredible!
It is incredible, however, it would seem to me that the TCP/IP stack being faulty would have little to do with the hardware, and more to do with Dell's Windows installation method. What's worse, the corrupt IP stack could have been due to some of the sponsored crap that gets put on the laptop. The same could have been true with the video driver problem that you mentioned. Maybe selling linux on the machines will increase their reliablility and compaibility.
Just think of all of history's warfare that could have been prevented if if were a legal requirement that translations always be presented side-by-side with the original.
This is a good idea, but what if the original was copyrighted? Then it might be infringement to publish it alongside the translation. This is affecting our copyright. What we need is some way to prevent that. Maybe some sort of way to MANAGE what RIGHTS the translators have....
I'll get my team of lawyers to work on this Monday morning....
Asian countries are leading the US in internet bandwidth and connectivity, and if we migrate to a web based application scheme, it will only hurt the US even more. Perhaps this is part of Bill Gates' big plan to outsource all of IT in America. Make all the applications web based so the performance will suck when used from the US, but it will be perfect when used from Bangalore. This will cause all the American IT workers to lose their jobs, and Bill just gets richer....
This is one of many lawsuits that have been happening since the 80's (remember the Apple IIgs?). It's just a balance of power. In the early days, the Beatles thought that they were bigger than Jesus, and so they sued a little computer company. Now, that little computer company is bigger than the Beatles, and Jesus has an iPod.

...Uh, wait... Maybe that's the bondage slave version...

Sudoers lists the applications that the user *CAN'T* run as root, and UAC lists the applications that *CAN* elevate the privileges.
...And that might be different enough for a judge as well.
If you read the patent, it sounds like the access control for elevating the privileges is based on the APPLICATION that the user is trying to run.
SUDO, on the other hand, requires that the USER have the rights to even run SUDO. (The user is listed in the SUDOERS file, but the application isn't.)
This might be disparate enough for a judge.
But in that universe, Scotty *CAN* do it because he *DOES* have the power.
It's called "Apple TV", and the very first item on the list of requirements is...
A TV.
WTF?!?! When I buy something that says it's a TV, it better damn well *BE* a TV. Likewise, I hope the iPhone is a telephone, and not a megaphone.
This must be your first time on the internet...
Quagmire? Is that you?
You can cure cancer by listening to the radio? What station?
I can imagine one of two scenarios:
1. Humans evolved from the same primates as gorillas, and the lice just stuck with us the whole time.
2. Some human had sex with a gorilla.
I just want to know why the christians want to believe number 2 over number 1.
...Into space!

So, you're saying it's a Domino server?

In the 33rd century, it'll be an implant...

Well, certainly Microsoft has some sort of Legal department that could be contacted. Why would you go directly to the CEO?
This smells fishy. I bet it's a trap for Bill Gates.
I'll call Jesus. He'll get right on it.
It seems to me, that if you actually *CAN* interfere with a religion, that it wasn't a very good one to begin with.

Well, what if you were an optometrist?
