China will just see a big photo of Mao when you try to load the books on Google. Maybe they could get a backdrop of the glowing fire from a pile of books being burned too!
Movies off of games suck because they don't have cheats. For instance, if the "Prince of Persia" movie sucks, can I press spacebar and skip it? No, I must suffer through!
And furthermore, why do any of the developers have to "figure out" what changed? Can't they make a user manual, systems manual, or programming manual anymore?
Let's assume that people buy new OEM PC's that have the newest Microsoft OS on them. If Vista provides new, "incompatible with old version" features, then the Windows install base becomes less self-compatible. If Microsoft fights to keep Vista compatible, there will be no real reason to upgrade. It's a catch-22 of being the monopoly OEM-installed OS.
I've had the dessert called a "bombe" before, it is approximately the shape of the device that the article shows the lady holding, so bombe may be a more general term for something that size/shape that was adopted for the dessert as well as the machine part.
Maybe they could make additional levels that allowed you some free play or some kinda more serious experience? I just can't believe that you couldn't add in some freaking HARD puzzles when you get to the highest of levels that challenge the hardcore without making it impossible for the novice to get to a few new levels more easily.
So if I buy 3 days of service, or 6 discontiguous hours of service, I could've just as easily bought the entire month? Just give out the monthly fee, and use the savings of managing those other plans to offer it cheaper!
Just hand it over from the "reviewer" to a regular user, give them internet access and about 15 minutes, and see how Vista handles those toolbars, spyware, etc. I bet it's slow and irreversably wonky in short order.
The real boneheaded move here is that she disclosed to everyone what she was up to, presumably because she thought it would be OK with them or something. That was totally stupid! Anyone knows that if you want to break the law like that, you have to keep it under the table and OUT of the boardroom discussions... DUH!
Looks like Unobtanium is all I get when I try to view that table... hey, maybe I should just post my digital artwork as a story too -- at least my server can (supposedly) handle some hits!
I just don't understand what would take a long time about developing a nanotube ribbon countless miles long, and then suspending it in space... what's so hard about that? I think I have enough leftover cables from old pc's to about get there, if only they were thinner.
The internet helps make it painfully obvious how much greener the grass might be on the other side by presenting the user(s) with comprehensive and detailed local info about practically anywhere. It makes wherever you currently are not seem as rosy... especially if where you currently are is someplace that would make a person WANT to be on the internet a lot.
I would've tested the ping time, but I had other weird interests taking most of my time; crazy stuff like classes, studying and trying to get girls! ha ha.
Do you know what a DDOS attack could do to a call center? A switchboard can't handle nearly the volume that a website can, so you could pretty easily clog the phones at any of these centers forever, pretty much, right? I can't wait to see the prank calls that come out of this -- funny for everyone but the person that gets a zillion calls an hour!
If you buy this for your girlfriend, she'll just look at you funny. (yes, i know, its/., bear with me) If you buy her an ipod, though, she'll pretty much have to (tm).
Dear O'Reilly: Please trademark netizens and Website. Also, feel free to flip through the dictionary and trademark any other dumb word you can. Then, sue everyone that uses those words. The legal system will be so inundated that I'll get tons more work as an IT consultant implementing test cases or what have you for the cases. Thanks, signed everyone
My fiance, who couldn't be more obsessed with fashion, pretty much stopped at getting the coolest cutest phone available. I have no doubt that if one came out that was really cheap and better, she'd probably switch. I don't think anyone's switching up in price on a phone very often, though. That would imply they bought a crappy one to begin with. Once they trade up, the trading pretty much stops there in my experience.

curiously all research lost in a massive fire when a gasoline tanker truck collided with the research building, Big Oil was unavailable for comment.

In other news, I go to hell for even thinking about some AO rated games and that preported controller glove!

Yay time warner! It's definitely real here.

If you go to microsoft websites, then you get more bandwidth; if you go to google... bad user! no bandwidth for you!
me: What's this plug for? The one going from the big mainframe to the wall?
ibm: That's the power cable, but you never want to unplu---
*BEOOOoo...*
ibm: NOOOOOO!
me: awesome! I hope that noise didn't mean something bad happened.
No man, you don't pay for "it", you pay for the "iPod" and give that to her! That makes her a gold digger, not a hooker.
Maybe in this case it would be wise to spell out the acronym, so we don't all have a tizzy that they're buying *THE* ISS, the one orbiting the Earth.

This makes the kid asking the teacher if there's more homework look like the coolest kid in school!
