I went to Michigan this last summer with my brother, and he told me that joke at least three times a day for the week we were there. And I had almost forgotten it, too. Thanks a lot for reminding me. Bastard.
the year before I went as Marylin Monroe, and the year before that, Betty Page. There's nothing like a straight guy dressing like female sex symbols to show how wierd he is.
This year I'm thinking Michelangelo's David, in spite of the fact that I'm not nearly tall enough. Oh well, any excuse to be naked.
They do have a similar high-color quality, but I probably would have said that the icons look like XP icons rather than generalizing it to "user interface."
Um... I'm using XP right now, (for me, it's been stable and quick with SP1) and as far as the RH8 screenshots go, they look only vaguely like XP. Similar order and placement of the window buttons, and rounded top corners on the windows appear to be the only real similarities. The RH8 interface is still very nice, but I still like the look of XP better.
Broadens the mind by introducing you to subgenres of damn near anything, if you look hard enough. Also, it helps teach you good research technique... so you can ignore those skills when you post to Slashdot.;-)
Of course, if they already had the packaging printed up, they might have to start over. That can take time and be expensive. But at least they might have a legitimate reason to charge $15 for each CD: "The pin sticker for this CD was carefully removed by the now bloody fingers of Pauly Shore."
And in my proofs class we go over different ways of looking at things. Some of the ideas are in the "oh, I could have figured that out on my own" but many are quite fantastic. And learning about this stuff can be rather inspiring.
What I'm saying is that teaching kids 1+2=3 is all well and good. But those are simple, and boring concepts. To spark their interest in math, first learning what can be done with it is better. I mean, I would have been happy to avoid learning the times tables a couple more years to explore what math is really about: patern recognition/analysis -- think puzzles, games, etc.

You know, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has that dream.
Bach. Not Mozart.
So what happens to those people who don't want to live forever?
Suicide?
Forget that.
I've got two words for you that will change your Haloweens forever:
LSD vapor.
Yeah, we've got that already. But how 'bout cheap?
Send me n+1 dollars for every n you want me to send you.
"it was 54 years ago"
"Turned out to be a space shuttle re-entering on its way to Cape Canaveral"
This would be the space shuttle that was launched some 9 years before Sputnick, right?
You mean comets?
Don't you think we're beyond the middle ages where they thought these things were harbingers of doom?

This is a 15K. Which CPU?
That last picture just looks... menacing.
Now, where did I put that winning lottery ticket?
More like: "Do as we say, or else."
I'm beginning to think all the producers have to do to find ideas for taglines and commercials for a Simpsons movie are read this thread.

Sorry about the confusion.

Never mind. That's what I get for not reading the article.
do we know for sure that there was a time when there wasn't a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica?

Well... you do have to fit it inside the house, right? So, "tiny" is relative. In this case it means "smaller than a bread truck."
Yup. I can see the second hand going around my digital watch while I type.
What they need is a network administrator who knows how to deal with the slashdot effect better than "service unavailable."
No, Moses was a lawyer. Jesus claimed to be the judge.
