Since many of us are angry at the Chinese, I thought it would be helpful to provide a list of racial slurs directed at them. Feel free to incorporate these into your posts.

I think it was Thursday, October 22, 1977 on the football field at Commack South High School. She drank 3 Pink Champagnes, passed out and I pried her open with a lawn sprinkler, just like Pia Zadora.
Apple Computers must be run by idiots. i mean, here's my dilemma: i love Macs. But Macs are gonna die. i'm pretty damn sure of it.
Macs are the computers that really made a difference. i mean, look at Windows--it's a sad imitation of the Mac. And Windows XP? It's supposed to be a better imitation of the Mac (especially now that Apple has lost it's "look and feel" lawsuit against Microsoft).
Macs are gonna die though, because as i mentioned before, Apple is run by idiots. Ok, so look, the Mac wouldn't have come about if the two Steve's weren't a little crazy. Building a computer in their garage? Building a computer that starts up with a smiling computer icon? Cute icons? A mouse, for goodness sake?
No, we needed some NON-IBM type of people to create the Mac. But damnit now we need some VERY IBM (well, old-school IBM--the people that put IBM typewriters on every secretary's desk, and IBM mainframes in every data processing center) type of people to sell the damn thing.
Scratch that...we need very Microsoft-type people to sell the Mac.
Apple is STUPID. Ok, so it was good to say that 1984 won't be like 1984, and to have the runner with the Apple logo on her tanktop throw the hammer into the Big Face of Big Blue. Macs are different. Fine.
But hello! Guess what allows you to stay in business? Yeah, that's right, money. And guess what makes money? Selling computers. And who buys a lot of computers? Suits. Yes, people that you hate. People that AREN'T artistes or creative or cool. Yes, boring people with white collars and striped ties and gray suits need to buy your computers, otherwise your company will DIE.
Die die die.
i'm sorry, maybe you didn't hear me. You will DIE if you don't sell to more corporate-types. And you don't sell to corporate-types if they think your computer is a toy.
Whew.
Anyways, like i said though...i love Macs. And people that love Macs know that they don't love Macs just because they're cute, cool, and for creative-types. They know that Macs let you get work done.
Bottom line for me whenever i'm trying to recommend hardware/software/whatever to a friend/client/relative. What do you need to do? And will this item allow you to do it? Can you get work done?
Macs let you get work done. Macs don't require you to learn about IRQ's memory addresses, jumper switches, CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, SYSTEM.INI, or WIN.INI.
Macs don't make you delete something in the Program Manager, then delete it in the File Manager too. Macs don't make you use DOS. Macs aren't a shell written on top of DOS.
Here's what Apple needs to make corporations understand:
Macs will save you money because you don't have to train people anywhere near as much as you have to with Windows. Basic operations are basic.
Macs will save you money because you don't have to hire people like ME to do things like installing network cards or printers, setting up file sharing, or showing people how to delete files.
There are other reasons, but i don't feel like discussing them.
Over the past three years, Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) has made a string of fascinating discoveries about the geology of Mars, but the exploration has also raised a host of new questions. This month, with the 2001 Mars Odyssey now safely arrived in mapping orbit, some answers may be coming.
The remote sensing technologies on the MGS spacecraft have yielded enough new data about the geology of Mars that planetary scientists will still be studying it for decades to come. Yet, the planetary geologists can hardly wait for the instruments on the 2001 Mars Odyssey to be turned on so they can get more.
ASU Korrick Professor of Geology Philip Christensen, the principal investigator for Mars Global Surveyor's Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) and also for 2001 Mars Odyssey's Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) is still getting data from TES. However, thanks to a significant expansion of his team's facilities, he and his colleagues are prepared to receive and analyze an additional stream of data from an even more powerful instrumental array. On Feb. 22, Christensen and fellow scientists will dedicate a newly remodeled and greatly expanded set of facilities in the Moeur Building. NASA administrators will be present, as will a group of students from Nogales, Ariz., who will be among the first of thousands of middle and high school students to participate in Mars imaging and remote sensing alongside the scientists.
Measuring the infrared signatures of minerals on Mars' surface, TES produced the first global mineral map of Mars and provided the mineralogical roadmap for geologists and geochemists following the trail to water's past on Mars.
"From TES we learned what minerals were present, where former hydrothermal systems might have been located, the mineral compositions of the dust, ice and rocks on Mars and we've got a lot of interesting ideas of where might be the most interesting and unique places on the Martian surface," Christensen says. With THEMIS, Christensen now hopes to start focusing on these locations. What sets THEMIS apart from its predecessor is high spatial resolution. Compared to TES, the images THEMIS sends back to earth are three times clearer.
"It's like if you sent a survey out to map the West and you discover the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevadas and the great deserts," Christensen says. "You do an inventory of what's out there, and then you start focusing on places like Yellowstone, places that are unique and different from every place else."
THEMIS, a two-camera thermal emission imaging system, is equipped to study the Martian surface on two fronts. In addition to collecting information about Martian surface minerals from the infrared heat they emit, THEMIS also collects data from reflected sunlight. THEMIS collects infrared information using 10 spectral bands and visible light using five bands.
Using its improved infrared capabilities, THEMIS will continue TES's mission to determine the mineralogy of the Martian surface, map the entire planet and identify where ancient, wet environments - and possibly life - may have once existed on Mars. THEMIS will also search for temperature anomalies associated with active subsurface hydrothermal systems, such as heat coming from active volcanic areas.
Using its visible light capabilities, THEMIS will help fill in informational gaps between large-scale geological images from the Viking orbiters in the 1970s and the very high-resolution images from TES. Essentially, THEMIS will provide a more comprehensive map of the particular features of Mars' geology and geography.
This information is key to NASA's upcoming 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers mission, which plans to send two rovers equipped with remote sensing equipment to the surface of Mars. Christensen and his team at ASU are preparing smaller versions of his instrument to be installed on the rovers.
In order to know where the rovers should land, researchers like Christensen want to know not only where the most interesting mineral deposits are located, but also in which of these sites the rovers will best be able to maneuver.
I don't like the idea of teaching students especially at a young age about the "supposed" benefits of Linux and open source software. These youngsters will grow up malformed to a Microsoft controlled and dominated society and can cause deep psychological problems for the rest of their lives. You wouldn't want the children to turn out like this now would you? Closed source Microsoft software belongs in the education sector, particularly when young impressionable children are involved.
Next time please post HARD CORE PORN! including penetration (including anal), cumshots, and blowjobs. Good work coming up with the Cock Lengthening Troll.
This is great news for the Columbian Drug Lords and their plantations. Thanks to NASA and GPS we will soon see lower cost, higher quality drugs hitting the streets.
I'm telling you: there's a huge market out there for designer computers.
Tell me why then did the Apple G4 Cube and many other designer computers fail miserably? Apple has said it will not try to resurrect the Cube in the future, and I think for a good reason.
I just don't see why the purchase of an expensive small non-upgradeable machine, like the one discussed in the article, would be a good decision for anyone. There are inexpensive mini towers if you want something small and they can be upgraded.
Computers were designed first and foremost for getting a job done, not to look good or be overly expensive. The same goes today. This explains why many of the designer computers are no more and the basic beige boxes will continue to be popular.
I could say the very same about you, Mr. Toreballs. Coding an open source OS for sweaty GNU hippies when Windows XP offers everything you need, and then some. Do I even need to go into the numerous rumors surrounding your bizarre sexual preferences and gay erotic fetishes?
If France has a problem with Nazis, they should take it up with the Germans. Leave Yahoo out of it. Those fur lickers have no fucking balls at all. They still quiver even at the thought of German industrial might. Well, what can you expect from the French anyway? Maybe a good laugh or two when someone makes another "France surrenders" joke.

I just have to laugh at that.
