The ABC announcers kept harping about an 11 pound solid gold trophy, IIRC.... Umm, wouldn't that puppy be pretty durned malleable, and lose shape after it got paraded around the field and such?
After skimming a lot of comments, I've noticed one thing that hasn't been mentioned-
If you take a counter-offer, you won't have to give up benefits at your current employer that you may have accrued over many years. 5 weeks vacation, becoming vested in a company retirement plan... These things take a a lot of time to work up to, and they're worth consideration.
I read that as "composting software", and was trying to figure out why Apple people would buy special software for recycling waste files into free space.
.... isn't one of supporting open source because it's good for your life-long karma, but having someone to hold the end-user's hand when something goes tits-up.
Microsoft comes in a pretty package, and is so widely used, that someone in a given setting is bound to have experience with it.
It's not that open source is or isn't better than MS, but which one gives the user (not the IT guys) a warm fuzzy.

Everyone touts Teddy Ruxpin. My cousin had an AG Bear. AG mimicked the speaker's voice, and mumbled back to him, in a voice slightly reminiscent of Charlie Brown's teacher. It was a ton cheaper than Ruxpin, and had inifitely more play value.

Actually, a better query would be "Who the fuck are you?"
;-)
Also, finding Googlisms are fun. That is trying to find two words in the same search query that where the query only returns one result.
Swing and a miss. The term you're looking for is googlewhack. "oligotrophic" and "festering" is a good example, for one.
It's a joke folks.... No scales, weightlessness... nevermind.
I've wanted to drop 50 pounds for months, and if they'd take me, I could get rid of them all!
Well, that supposedly works for Kevin Bacon, but actually 10 is the highest degree, so maybe they should shoot for 11

99% of the people who want copies of software don't have to worry about copy protection- someone else has broken it for them.
They merely need to use their P2P client of choice to download a cracked image of the CDs.
No more taping the red and blue filters from my Mag-Lite to my eyelids any more! :-)

bring my UNIVAC that I play Pong on?
Yeah, but wouldn't it be cool to perform some sort of sexual act while sitting in Captain Kirk's chair?
;-)
It appears someone already did- note the stain on the rug. Either that, or someone had a wicked party, and spilled a big glass of synthohol.

Hmm, terrorist in training?
What literary authorities have defined "blog"? It does not yet appear in the online version of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary or at dictionary.com
If it's not in either of these places yet, who's to say what definitions are right or wrong?
Well, I guess you're at least one step ahad of the rest of us- you actually read them! ;-)

Sounds a lot like his character in Heat, hmm?
Not to mention the one sentence description here on /. Anyone else find the lack of editorializing refreshing?
If the unit has been sitting dead for that long, how much basic programming info is gone due to lack of power?
Part 3 of the MS -)
Same principle (harmonics), somewhat larger scale.
A nice movie can be found here.
