Wouldn't it be "ironic" if Apple gave him a billion dollars in cash and elected him life-time president of the world.
There, see, random speculation is both easy and worthless.
"Vacuum tubes"? You were lucky, we had to play Space Invaders on an abacus made from a handful of hot gravel. And if we missed a single alien our father would flay us alive!
I was selling silver bars on ebay, sold one to someone in Brighton and shipped it to their PayPal address (got a signature on delivery). A few days later PayPal tell me the buyer claims their credit card was stolen and ask PayPal to reverse the payment. I object but PayPal doesn't respond and 2 weeks later steals the money from me to pay the thief. I had no recourse or opportunity to make sure I wasn't ripped-off, PayPal simply stole from me.
Watch for the Microsoft patent for a system of ensuring that a security system fails-safe by shocking all the passengers in the event of a system failure.
And god this new interface is a pain in the arse. If I want to preview I can hit the preview button. Don't force me to you fuckers.
I've pretty much stop travelling to the US. If my company asks I refuse and I've not holidayed in the US for a while.
My wife and I flew to California for a holiday the February after 9/11 and deliberately went around wearing the stars and stripes (her a lapel badge, me a rugby shirt) to show our unity.
So what's stopped us returning to the US since? The ludicrous controls that have been introduced since that trip. These cuffs would put the seal on it: under no circumstances would I ever board a flight where I was required to wear one of these.
I pay for a dev environment, the one from JetBrains, for Java development.
I do that because: I loath eclipse: it's a god-awful, slow, clunky, everything that's wrong with open-source GUIs, editor. Second because I need support for code completion, api prompts/look-up and my favourite editor (TextMate) doesn't support that, although it's great for everything else.
So I pay a couple of hundred GBP for a decent editor that it doesn't hurt to use.
Bad workmen only blame their tools because they chose crappy ones to use. I pay for quality.
And you don't think that names like "Plutonium" or "Curium" were just pulled out of someone's arse or do you believe these elements really have anything in common with either a planet or greek god or some dead scientist?
And plenty of dead things benefit from being nourished: wood and leather spring to mind.
Next?
You do realise that all chemical names are made up? In fact all names are made up... in fact all language is invented. So not really sure what your point is.
Let's face it: if the prize is the laptop you hack then everyone would be trying to hack the Mac: who the fuck wants the shame of walking away with a Dell under their arm?

I've tried a similar line on women. But it's never worked.

They also support fraudulent buyers.

I don't sell anything on eBay any more.
Richard Dawkins, rabid atheist, doesn't have a theory of evolution. That would be Darwin.
I think in your position I'd be more worried about my job being shipped to India.
Is he dense? Perhaps the problem was you weren't doing a very good job as an expert witness ;)
Why would any lawyer who's seen JT get disbarred for his behaviour step in and start behaving in the same way on JT's behalf?

Doesn't have to be funny to qualify as a joke?

Not sure but if you could send Cate Blanchett around with a ruler I'm sure I could come up with an answer. Eventually.
I write a note on a piece of paper, hand it to my secretary, and she posts it on slashdot for me.
jozmala: "...get around and have something to proof[sic] you are smart." By a command of the English language for example?
The first ten pages are just repetetive self-advertising waffle. I gave up at that point: life's too short to read crap.
Actually, by his own definition, you would have to say he was a dork.

I may have missed something, but what is it that you want to do that you can't with a pencil and paper?
"Burn"? What a wanker.
Well I am exactly double your age and I do exactly the same thing. Thanks for making me feel half my age ;-) Or perhaps you should be worried...
