It's better to encourage and challenge the human race by redesigning software to be more efficient.
It's evolution. I'm sure I can think of a million
analogies where this stuff happens all the time. At a certain point in life people start hating change.Even if it's for the better. It's the old back in my day we didn't have to do it that way. So I'm a geek and changes in my new OS versions can annoy me now. But when I was younger all I wanted were enhancements and modifications.
Either was it's mostly the user's choice to upgrade and live with these changes. Don't like it don't upgrade. Get a new car and you are gonna find the cup holders in a place you aren't used to. I think the steering wheel is always in the same place though.
I will chase and haunt the guy
in front of me if I am trying to use 802.11b to download music from his car. He will swerve, brake, slow down and speed up with me on his ass the whole time not knowing that he has that rare pink floyde track I want.
Through Harvard studies we've determined
that the infinite hatered moms hold toward
GTA III has to do with the fact that junior
does nothing but drive around smashing up
and blowing up Robin Egg Blue Minivans.
And it's not helping when dad smirks with
some kind of strange satisfaction everytime.
In other studies moms were very please when
junior stopped at every red light and gave
those blue gems the right of way. "Even if
he was playing a crook. Well at least he's
a very curtious one", one mother mentioned.
By todays standards, making a game
is more difficult and takes more time
than making a HollyWood blockbuster movie.
The real difference is that you don't get
to rub against Halle Berry's naked skin.
And when the movie is finished beautiful
people still don't want to have sex with you.
You get paid less too! Sucker!
Well I heard that the former CEO of Linux just declared she likes Windows better since it's an American operating system and not a terrorist's first choice.
It's ok for me to drive around with a rifle on a gun rack in my truck (which I never lock) , but it will soon be illegal for me to go to starbucks and browse the internet on my PDA?
Cool.

... Diesel an 'alternative fuel' - cracks me up that.
Doesn't anyone see an advantage here to buying this
cooling system once and then reusing it?
Think about it. You could buy a fairly fast CPU - maybe the second to best on the market and overclock it in your super cooled desktop. 6 Months down the road you could sell your CPU and get another second to best CPU and overclock it.
Wouldn't this save money? This scenario seems like a wise investment to me.
...because it allows you to write unsafe code (ie, code that doesn't have to go through the garbage collector). Not that most MS programmers will need this capability...
Are you implying that MS coders can write unsafe code without any special help?
Someone tell me why I can get a 15 inch LCD on my laptop with UXGA 1600x1200 pixel resolution, but can't find a 15 inch LCD monitor with the same resolution for any price.
Oh yes. There are 20 inch LCDs for over $1500 with that resolution, but a cheap old 19 monitor for $300 these days supports 1600x1200.
Point is... I believe LCD industry is holding back on sweeter resolutions to get everyone to upgrade after everyone has purchased an LCD. And EVERYONE hasn't purchased an LCD yet.
