It always strikes me as strange why a company would believe that simply jumping on the MP3 Player bandwagon, and not actually producing a superior product to the iPod, would yield better sales results than the iPod.
Absolute insanity.
It's about time the Mozilla foundation is getting the recognition they deserve. As a Windows user (yes, flame me), Internet Exploder has been nothing but a giant general protection fault.
Just goes to show, when you take out competition, you get stale, passionless software. Thank you Mozilla.
The mistake led to the whole of the Windows 95 operating system being banned in the country, losing large sales. For its replacement, Microsoft, Office 97, Microsoft removed the colour coding and sold 100,000 copies in India.
I never knew you could install Office 97 as a replacement to Windows 95! Stupid me always thinking I had to install an OS before I could install any applications.
I think the only reason Congress exists is because somewhere down the road, these people decided that they really don't have to work once they get elected. If you run for Congress and get elected, you are set for life. Benefits and the pension provided on taxpayer's dollars is superb. They only seem to pass laws to make it easier for them to get by in life. Remember TIA, or Terrorist Information Awareness? Congress only canned that when they realized THEIR lives would be under scrutiny of the DOJ as well!
"In fact, in some repressive countries the spread of the Internet actually may be helping dictatorships remain in power."
Where's the evidence?
"Except for the tourists, no one seemed to venture onto news Web pages"
Perhaps there is a fear with the people to see other news? They might feel the government is watching everything they do and somehow they will have to face consequences for looking at the "wrong" sites. It makes you wonder, why won't they discuss current events?
Think about it, if you can build a virus (kind of like coding it like you code a computer program) could you then be able to set it to beneficially help the human body instead of harm it?
Maybe this could be used to create a kind of "police" virus that will destroy the HIV virus in infected patients. I dunno, people scorn new technology, but in my opinion, this might be a step in the right direction for cures of current diseases that are only treatable.
Now we're only a step away from having Spammers make our e-clothing so congested with crap that it won't be of any use.
Even worse, what would happen once Spammers figure out how to broadcast video through the e-clothes, would we have people all over the place with Penis Enlargement ads on their new Old Navy cargo pants?
I live in Chicago, and let me tell you, what they (all big cities, not just Chicago) need is wireless connectivity through rush hour. It would be damn skippy to be able to read a few stories on Slashdot while sitting 45 minutes on the Ike without moving three inches.
Of course, I'm neglecting to think about all the accidents that might be caused...oh well, I guess we can sacrifice safety to read/.
Yes, it's true, any persons caught trying to decipher the mystery of the Toynbee Tiles will be prosecuted under the DMCA. Listen, just because you can go out into public and read these mysterious tiles does not mean that you have the mysterious right to try and mysteriously figure out where they mysteriously came from. That is the exclusive mysterious right of the mysterious man/woman in [insert color here] who placed these in the first not-so-mysterious place to begin with.

Come on now, scientists, who really cares if a robot can sustain damage...why not create a robot that can "learn" to traverse from the TV room over to the kitchen and acquire some beers for its master.

Yep, it seems that at least two people on the Net know how to fight back, the old "hey, let's sign up the ripe-contact email address for gay porn magazines" routine. Gets 'em every time.
Ah...the good ol' days...making your name appear incessantly line after line using BASIC built into the OS (when using GOTO was acceptable, not shunned upon)...showing off to your friends by typing "CATALOG" and bringing up the file directory...and who can forget, kicking all your friends' asses in Lemonade Stand back in grade school.
Yeah, all we need now is to have the Super Mario Bros. Super Show come back onto the air.
What!? Two giant corporations actually doing something MS-like to make themselves more appealing?! That's unheard of! Why, one might think this is a ploy to increase marketshare! Corporations are our friends, they would never manipulate the people. Damn the man!
This seems to me like the RIAA is trying to kill two birds with one stone. On one hand, they really think they've sent some sort of message to the millions of people downloading music. And now because they've decreased the damages from such a HUGE amount, they're hoping that it'll make them look better to the public.
"Oh, the RIAA isn't so bad, they decreased the amount of charges from a billion dollars to a few thousand..." is what they're hoping the public will say.
It's only a matter of time until the RIAA tries to put restrictions on the intellectual copyrights of downloading MP3's into your genes. Who will be the first to be sued for absorbing the new Madonna single?
Slashdot Mirror
I'm still waiting for SCO to sue me for not licensing their patented, breathing mechanism which provides oxygen to the human body.
Does this mean the only anti-spyware solution we can trust is or should be open source?
I would think yes.
Anybody else?
Maybe their God had five fingers...

Hey, you ever seen Iraq? There's rubble everywhere! Somebody has got to clean it.
...somebody set this thing to "evil!"

Agreed, there is no scientific evidence proving global warming.
But scientists can never be wrong. Let us never forget how great cold fusion really is.

Philo T. Farnsworth, an American from the state of Utah, is the man who actually invented the television, not the Brits.
If Google was a woman, I would make sweet passionate love to her all night long, or at least for 10^100 minutes.
I'm hoping they'll next be able to have Google search my memories and "personalize" the ones I want to review.

Does anybody here see the resemblance of the case mod to one of the calamari-like sentinels from the Matrix triology?
;)
Now if you really want to impress me, make a case mod out of tiny little computers that comprise somebody's face
All kidding aside, this is a great mod, which really stands out against the bazillion other case mods which all look the same.
