Short after the 9-11 I flew home with a lava lamp (white bubbles, blue liquid) in my back pack. When X scanned the lady thought it could be some kind of chemical agent/bomb or something and refused to let me in the plane with it. After several minutes of arguing and explaining what was that for, her supervisor came, looked quickly at it and telled her to let me pass, he lnew what a lava lamp was...I have to admit that it could have been anything in that bottle...
That is, until you realize that a Mac costs much, much more than a PC because it comes with many things you may not need, such as a keyboards that lightens up when the room gets dark.

Ooorr, they could just wipe China with the "Save Taiwan " excuse. If China is "dead", then there will be no one to pay the debt to. US Military is way more powerfull than China's.
And I thought I was paranoid...Dude, go easy on those ADD pills.
Besides, there are much other things that could end up wiping us from this planet way before Skynet/Wintermute awakes.
I swear there were terrorists there!!
Of course if you care to go there to look for factual evidence or WMD you'll find only dust...Cause we did our job so damn well!
In Argentina, most PCs come with one flavor of Linux installed with an XP theme by default.
Most of users who don't know nothing of OSes, buy it thinking it is XP and they realize that once they already bought them.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad, more like a Shing Yang.
PC vendors lower their costs that way, but they don't inform the user about the OS installed.
Users realize they don't have XP when they try to do something that they used to, or when they try to download MSN. Then, the general line of thinking is "I can't get anything done with Linux, Linux suck" and they get a pirated copy of XP.
Back to the topic, it's clear that MS don't want to let Linux reach the user. They will encourage PC vendors to sell the Vista version that only boots on odd days and let's you hit the start button once per session. That way they get ahead with this problem. Linux has a chance NOW. Linux is actually reaching the user NOW, but fails to demonstrate that it is actually good for the common tasks that the user does.
I'm not saying that something can't be done with Linux. The problem is that the user simply doesn't realize that yet and they get rid of Linux before they have a chance to do so.
How I'm supposed to trust a paper that states that any (which includes this one) random picked papers have less than 50% chance of this paper beign true?? I mean, what makes this one special and 100% true?
Here I read that everybody liked it and how fast it runs and boots, etc, etc. I bet you were the same guys that talked how bad it was, about 10 or 9 years ago.

They, for once, were doing the right thing preventing that music from infesting your favourite p2p network!!!
This is good news I guess.
Yet, I think they still need to change their policy/behaivor regarding these-but-not-limited-to items for me to like them:
-Support for non-Sony flash media in digital cameras and other products.
-Standard power jacks: How hard could that be???? OK this one applies to almost every company.
-And CSI Miami sucks...

Thank you. Really. It's not irony nor a joke.
IG has no weather for Buenos Aires. How hard that could be? Live has it.
MS does innovate when put under pressure, I'm not so sure that it is "late" for them.
If you don't want these things to happen, joing the EFF now.
These guys achieve things that really matter.
Or is this all a ploy to recapture the hearts of the public?
Yeah sure, like they are going to spend a few billion of US tax payers and risk lives for a bunch of hearts...

Everything has its good part and its bad part, Much like the Force, complementary opposites..

Did they by any chance mention adding an extra wing in X shape to the F-16? God I'd love to see that.

Just another reason to engage with China in 2006-2008 ( Remember Taiwan plans new constitution for 2006 and beign independent in 2008 . Of course China won't let that happen.)
NASA TV transmited it live. They are replaying it now. .asx

They should've put some Neo-aka-the-one-exception handling like the Architect did. Now they'll have to reload it.
