It would have been as scary as hell if the Germans were able to mass-produce these babies.
Bogus. The picture comes from a Fark Photoshop contest, where the goal was to create a hoax photo. I hope you didn't seriously believe that was true...
I don't get it... Are you saying that President Bush is a robot, and thus implying that major technological advances in robot building must have occurred in order to allow him to slip undetected into the world of humans and even win two Presidential elections?
Oh wait, it's a joke. Ha ha, I get it. That's pretty funny.
Is this a specific senator or just the Senate in general? And if it's a specific one, I'd enjoy knowing which senator is funding technological research?
Although both statements have the same technical meaning, they have different implied meanings (to me, anyway). The first says that people who had iPods were the exception and were cool for it. The second statement says that people who don't have iPods are now exceptions, and are uncool for it. (Even if the grandparent poster meant to say that "Now, you aren't cool if you have an iPod," which is how I initially read it.)
In your subject, you say it's the razor, but in your message, you say it's the blade. From the rest of your message, I'd have to say you meant to say razor in both instances; was that your intent?
In the razor/blade model, Gillette gives away the razor in order to make money on the blades. ie, If someone already has their razor, they'll just buy their blades, rather than buying someone else's razor and blades.
Apple makes money on both the iPod and songs from iTunes, meaning that the business model above doesn't really apply. People don't buy from iTunes because they were given an iPod; people buy from iTunes because they bought an iPod.
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but why do they charge different prices in different countries? They cost the same to make, and shipping can't be that much, right?
Even though this sounds obvious, make sure you have plenty of copies of your resume if you go to one of these. Back when I was young and stupid, I made the mistake of not bringing copies of my resume along to the first job fair I went to, and all I heard all day was "Do you have a resume? No? Come back when you do." Time wasted, opportunities lost...

Duh, they form beer drinking teams. (Official US Beer Drinking Team website)

Oops, wrong website...
An interesting example of Google XUL was mentioned earlier in the thread: Google XUL search page.
It doesn't appear that registration is required for this one. It loaded just fine for me without registering.
I'm going to go with incompetence.
I've been using AffordableHost for years, and I'm very happy with it.
Why did he give his game the same name as a hairnet?

Could it be that the iPod is neither the razor nor the blade, and that the razor/blade business model doesn't apply?
It's been my experience that a Venus Flytrap will snap when he's been around Les Nessman for too long.

Breaking News: Windows Viruses Don't Run Under Linux.
Did we really need an article to tell us this?
(Note: I realize that there is some interest in trying these things, but I was really disappointed that nothing interesting happened.)
...because he probably realized that dead children don't buy software.
I don't get it.
Is Aqsis used by any "major players" in the 3D rendering field? I'd assume not, but it'd be interesting to see who's using it.
