Once you create a bureaucracy, it will do ANYTHING to stay in existence. The TSA has to keep coming up with new "security" measures in order to justify its budget.
Take for example the lock chock devices airlines are being required to use. These are basically bicycle tire locks for large planes to prevent people stealing a plane while its on the ground. I was very excited to see these devices when they arrived at work. I couldn't wait to see what sort of clever device the government had come up with. Imagine my disappointment when I saw that you could easily disable the devices in about 30 seconds USING A WRENCH.
That's right people... our planes are safe unless the terrorists know how to use a wrench. Do you feel safer? Or just poorer?

I have used Mozilla/Firewhatever for several years now. However, the latest version of Firefox leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I have had numerous freezes (many requiring the process to be killed) under both Windows and Linux. Anyone else had a similar experience?
Harry Potter has the same effect on today's children as Star Wars had on kids in the 80's. However, there is one fundamental difference between the two stories.
Star Wars started off fairly serious (and occasionally dark) and then tried to become silly (Ewoks, Jar Jar).
Harry Potter started off light hearted and then became darker with each passing book (including the death of a very likable character in the 4th book). The question is: will the author (and the movies for each book) maintain this trend?
Based on its fundamental discovery about the architecture of systems-level middleware, SpecOpS Labs has simply outdistanced all other players in the field. From this, our partners and stakeholders will not only realize handsome financial gain, but share in the ultimate entrepreneurial dream of changing the shape of the IT industry to come.
Today corporate innovation consists of finding new and exciting ways to move jobs overseas (without being the focus of a segment on 60 minutes).
That being said... I'm sure there is PLENTY of "innovation" in the Java Desktop.
God you're dumb... The Constitution does not protect the right urinate on someone's desk.
However, according to WhenU's logic, you ARE protected if you write "SCO Sucks" with your piss.
If you need extra bottled water (maybe enough to write "WhenU and SCO Both Suck A Whole Lot But Not In The Good Way") I would be happy to contribute.
I spent a couple days trying to make Mail work on my Father's computer. Everytime it was launched it hung (and had to be killed).
The Apple support forums are FULL of people with similar problems. I was truly amazed at the number of people having serious problems (ie hangs and freezes everytime they try to use Mail).
Finally I just installed Thunderbird (which my father seems happy with.
One of the local pizza places (New Yalk Pizza at the corner of Virginia and Moana) has a public wifi hotspot. I haven't tried it (no laptop) but I assume it works. They have a big sign and instructions on how to connect.
More importantly, the pizza is pretty good (it's thin crust, east coast style). There is also a good sandwich place (Cross's Deli) less then a block west on Moana.

Actually, Halo was originally going to be released simultaneously on the Mac and PC.
This seems to be the future. Are there any languages that are more efficient for multithreaded programing?

Now when the theater projector is slightly out of focus you won't be able to see ANYTHING.
Slashdot has editors?!

I'm a little disappointed. I would really like to see Google focus on creating web-based office apps. Anyone else feel the same way?
The guy had lived for 3 years in the UK. His family said he spoke excellent English. He ran because he was in the country illegally.
They would just f&%k it up. Tribes Vengeance anyone?
Currently, female crime fighters are expected to be slutty AND powerful.

So mind your own business!
Doesn't the whole microkernel versus (hugely) monolithic kernel make this whole discussion a moot point?

I actually click on Google adds regularly... Why? Because they are unobtrusive. I wish the advertisers would figure this out.
Well I don't think you need to do it in caps... I was just suggesting you write REALLY big :)
