A January launch of Windows Vista allows us to execute in a consistent way throughout the holidays, and will provide the right opportunity for a large, exciting launch industrywide after the New Year.
That was from a VP at HP. I hope he realizes that the holidays are never ending since there is at least one every month. After New Year's it's only a couple weeks until Martin Luther King day, and in February there is President's Day and so on until December and then it starts all over again.
I wonder how many mp3's I can fit onto one of those?
What aspect of the mp3 are you wanting to fit onto the disc? The id3 tag? Or did you mean how many mp3s can you fit onto one of those? Mp3's is possessive in case you didn't know what an apostrophe does.
No one can predict the future. Many pundits fail to predict the popularity or lack of popularity of many electronic devices but would you call that a fallacy? People who believe in the Bible are no different than you believing in whatever you believe in (religious or non-religious) but non-believers have a good time making fun of the believers because of their faith and I'm not quite sure what is funny about that but I'm sure you have to laugh about something since you are going to hell, right? If you don't believe in that then you won't mind that statement because it is irrelevant to you. Anyway, the people who believe in the Bible are waiting to see the prophecies come true and since they don't know when or how they will they can only guess what will make them come true. Barcodes could have been the mark of the beast but I don't think there was any plan to use them on people. There is however many plans to use RFID tags on people (and some people already have them) and many pets have them. It could only be a matter of time before a gov't makes them mandatory for citizens and then it wouldn't be too far-fetched for a national leader (or the UN) to sign into law the requirement of the RFID tag before goods can be bought. I'm reminded of the movie Paycheck where the premise is that we try so hard not to do what our future predicts and yet we end up doing exactly what the future says we will even though we try to avoid it so the predictions ultimately still come true.
the real problem with the intelligent design crowd is when they deny basic facts
The real problem with the evolution crowd is when they don't provide any basic facts but have to speculate on everything with no definitive answers for anything. This article just proves that point because now they think that viruses may have been the start of life. How many more ideas are they going to go through? It doesn't ever get them any closer to making the theory any more sound. If evolution is real I have to wonder why one branch of the tree became so different compared to the other branches (humans to any other species). There should be a lot more similar variations of humans but there is only 1 type of human at that. There is a big divide between humans and any other species. The fact that the DNA structures are similar isn't enough to counter my statement because we are all on the same planet and live by the same general physical rules so the fact that DNA is similar isn't surprising nor does it imply anything. Human intelligence for example is far beyond any other species on earth.
So... Sure the cell phone makers make money by selling cheap ass phones to the providers who in turn give money directly to the manufactures, but the cell phone makers are competing with each other and in order to remain competative they are having to put more features on their phones.
They skipped right past being competitive by building more towers and increasing call quality. Where I live I can choose between CellularOne (which I have now), Sprint, US Cellular, nTelos, and I think that's about it. No one else has service here (North Central WV along I79). It would have been nice to have more choice of service, and phones (especially since you are stuck with one of the provider's phones unless you can get it unlocked and taken to another provider).
People don't want to carry 15 different devices when one can do the job of all good enough. Why is it some/.'ers can't understand that?
That is all well and good but the uber device should be a good single device before tackling other tasks (i.e. be a good phone with nice reception, durability, etc. before trying to be an mp3 player). Most, if not all, companies who make toaster ovens and who made toasters and/or ovens probably made sure that the toaster/oven was good quality and worked well before advancing to the next level of difficulty. Maybe you have a decent phone but what about the service with the phone? It's hard to find the perfect combo assuming that piece of heaven even exists yet in the cellular world.
Actually that would even be incorrect as it doesn't make the existing/remaining drivers any better, but instead just removes the more worse (not necessarily bad just not as good as the better ones) drivers from the road. The same can be said for "evolution".
Just imagine, you drop your laptop in hot lava while touring the volcanos in hawaii. Dont despair! All of your documents are safe and sound along with your email back on good ole googles servers.
If only real lava would let you get that close to even toss your laptop in I'd be with you but no one can get close enough to lava w/o having other issues like 3rd degree burns.
By the way, before your parents' hard drive failed, where were you ? I guess you weren't doing your job as a good son and teaching them about good backup procedures or showing them how to use a USB drive to store all their personal information on which they could take to any computer, even a NEW one, without your help AND it would be much faster than having to work with an "application" over the web.
I'd even be willing to get one of these if MS was smart and didn't include any extra multimedia features in the cell phone (mp3 player, camera, etc.) since it is supposed to be a phone and not a computer. It would even be another plus if it got better reception than normal cell phones.
Well you can't just pick any firewall to add a rule to. You want something like Checkpoint and not BlackICE. It just doesn't feel the same and who is going to really protect you w/o going down? Oh wait...nevermind.
I don't think taking a Computer Ethics class would really deter anyone who is determined to do something like this. I've never taken one but I'd guess that it only teaches what is right/wrong and why. Most if not all of the people who would take the class are going to do it whether or not its right/wrong just because they want to do it. It *might* deter those who are on the fringe though, just like having some religion might deter those who are on the fringe of committing a heinous crime like murder but it won't deter the hardcore murderers who just don't care whether it is wrong or not.
When there are a lot of things going in the background (of the room) when you play or if someone is talking directly to you while you are playing do you start to mess up in a fast-paced game or does it not affect you?
Word on my 233MHz G3 worked as well as it did on 800MHz G4 as it does on my 2x2GHz G5 and as well as it does on my 3.2GHz P4.
You must be one of the rebels that MS targets for extinction. You aren't supposed to use the same version of Word on all of those CPUs. You are supposed to upgrade to the newest and slowest version so your CPU will have something to do while your text-based email is being transferred to your mail server.
What more will it take for you people to quit filtering the world for the few tenuous scraps of information that back up your preconceived notions?

Normally I would think the same thing (and I have about other topics) but then I remember there are 6 billion people in the world and then I realize that it only takes 1 person to prove me wrong.

I for one would rather pay for add free wireless access (but not much- I'm never /that/ far from a wired point) than have to put up with adds.
I hear that subtracts are sometimes better than adds, and if you got the cash you can maybe get division free wireless access.
Good products at probably outrageous prices too but I'm just guessing.

or rename it the 3DO. Does anyone remember that? It was manufactured by Panasonic initially and later Sanyo joined in.
Microsoft already provides a read-only version of Visio for viewing Visio drawings (Visio Viewer). It should do the same for its other applications.
MSNBC reports that Microsoft's next version of Office, now known as Office 2007 (previously code-named Office 12)...
Office 12 was a codename? Since when has an actual version number been a damn codename?
Well you can't just pick any firewall to add a rule to. You want something like Checkpoint and not BlackICE. It just doesn't feel the same and who is going to really protect you w/o going down? Oh wait...nevermind.
Rule #1: I take myself seriously, just not the public (US) education system.
I don't think taking a Computer Ethics class would really deter anyone who is determined to do something like this. I've never taken one but I'd guess that it only teaches what is right/wrong and why. Most if not all of the people who would take the class are going to do it whether or not its right/wrong just because they want to do it.

I speak 7 languages but I really only think in 4 of them.
So let's see, that would be perl, awk, C, C++, Java, .NET, and Lisp?
Rule #1: When making a joke, make sure you can spell.
Word on my 233MHz G3 worked as well as it did on 800MHz G4 as it does on my 2x2GHz G5 and as well as it does on my 3.2GHz P4.

VD? Are they releasing sexual viruses now in addition to Symantec releasing computer viruses?
