    "The BBC are reporting that one of the items displayed at this years Ideal Home Show at Earls Court is an internet enabled toilet roll browser."

    You can snag Darwin from here. There's a lot of $10 no-name ethernet and sound cards that need porting. Get to it.

  6. Re:You think Apple's prices are high? on PowerBook, Because Lives Are On The Line · · Score: 4, Insightful
    "If the military can pay thousands for a toilet seat, imagine what they paid for a PowerBook."

    Oddly, I'm going to attempt to explain this...

    Most of the equipment that the Armed Services pay "too much" for aren't your run-of-the-mill items. It's not like they can run out to Home Depot and pick up a crapper capper.

    We have tie hooks that are rated at 2 or 3 thousand pounds, yet are made of titanium, to keep weight down as much as possible.

    Imagine designing that same item in your garage. How much would it cost if you had to make such item from scratch, with a guarantee that the item would work as intended, under such extreme circumstances? Factor in the engineering, labor work, logistics, and planning and see how much a "simple" item like a titanium tie-down hook (with a 2k weight rating & MTBF rate of 1000 flight hours) would cost.

    Rockstar's next game: Le Reddition (The Surrender)

    Welcome to France.

    From the country who rolls over like a flock of sheep, snootiness and horrible hygiene comes a story of one man's rise to the top of cowardice. Le Reddition is a huge urban sprawl ranging from that half-finished skyscraper know as the Eiffel Tower to Marseilles, and is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created.

    "You mean you actually save pr0n locally to a hard drive? I haven't saved pr0n on my computer since 1994"

    He's right, of course.

    At work, save it to the bosses shared drive.

    At home, save it to your significant others' hard drive.

    "our personalities appear to be much less influenced by out environment and more by our genes."

    I still think it's a combination of the two. My cousin and I attended the same private school as children, yet she completed K through 12 at the school, while I only spent 4 years there. Our IQ's are nearly identical, but she had the better learning environment.

    She's currently a doctor, while I work as a civilian for the government.

    I wish luck would've been more on her side. Poor girl.

    Sadly, I must cut this post short; I need to file a grievance with the Union, blame my co-workers for my ineptitude, and take the rest of the day off.

    Dammit, someone changed my Freecell settings again... I'm taking a coffee break.

    I think after purchases last year and 1 time expenses last quarter, Apple is down to 4 billion in the bank.

    Still, they better be careful. They need a new slogan. The "Think Different" campaign has reached its limit.
