3 Windows 2000. Again with the I don't get it, why would they cut support for Win2k? Surely the knowledgebase and whatnot doesn't take up too much room on some server, and how many people call in Win2k problems, honestly? It's a pretty complex OS in relative terms, and it never really caught on amongst end users.
This'll spur movement towards Linux? Why wouldn't users just keep the OS they already have? If the point is to avoid retraining, migrating to Linux is one of the more ironic moves a man could make.
As a matter of fact I didn't read the last post, mostly because I have an MP3 player that I'm terribly happy with. That is pretty good, but I'm still leery of it for some reason. "Build it idiot-proof, and someone will build a better idiot."
And $200 for 2GB is robbery. For $50 more I got 40.
1.) Apparently it will be precious. That's better than efficient or sturdy. Cute it up, bitches.(Seriously, the damn thing looks like it could snap in half way too easily.)
2.) It will be a ridiculous amount of money compared to Non-iPod rivals in the industry. Keep an eye out, Creative at the very least will whip out something similar. My Zen Xtra 40GB cost a full $200 less than a 4GB iPod. Why should this be any different?
The 8th and final version of Vista will be Windows Vista EXTREME, and for the next 10 years people will argue over whether it's EXTREME or 8th.
If you don't get it, you probably shouldn't mod it.
Gah, this whole North Korea situation gets me to thinking that we're backsliding as a people. Lewis Black touched on an idea that I'm going to steal for a bit. We really need to get to know the true nature of North Korea. No skew (what can be avoided anyway, impartial journalism is laughable), no opinions, no inferences or implications, just a good old fashioned "getting to know you" session. But if we'd asked the American people on September 10th, 2001 to sit down and learn about Afghanistan, covering the recent history (past 50 years of the region will do), and then study a group called the Taliban, and their leader. And maybe we'll see what the issues are and how they can be resolved. And the American people would kindly tell you to go fuck yourself. I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make but at least we can study North Korea ourselves, even if others aren't interested. Knowledge is Power and all that stuff.
I honestly believe the world has learned from it's mistakes of two World Wars: The economic fallout is just too cataclysmic now. This is not to say that we might not march on a path of mutual extinction one day, but that I don't think we'll ever really have millions of troops converge at one point. It's just not necessary (or safe) anymore.
Not "Assured Destruction"? The country is presently flipping-the-fuck-out over New Orleans; you mean to tell me that a nuclear strike won't be at least that destructive? Thinking about it in psychological terms as well as collateral terms brings out the vulnerability of us as a people.
And yeah, I didn't think the North Korea line of thought out very well; China is a much bigger threat, you're right. Eh...we all speak in haste now and then.
You say this as if North Korea is not a threat at all, and that could stand to get us all in hot water. They DO have nuclear weapons and this is confirmed (you are correct that not many but how many does it really take?). Even if they don't launch them, for the right price they might "disappear" and wind up in some American psycho's back yard. Talk about a yard ornament! I am not a nuke expert but it seems that it could happen (infinitesimal odds notwithstanding). Consider China, then. Lots of nukes, 2 billion people. I don't know, the whole situation just seems a little too serious for me to shrug it off with "they can't reach us".
Just let it go, you obviously don't see that I'm just poking fun at the man. The leader of our country needs to sound a little more...professional. That's my biggest gripe with him, he makes half the nation sigh and slap their foreheads when he opens his mouth.
Fair enough, I agree with what you say. But if the technology is there than it seems like it's only a matter of time before a sizable amount of nukes are ready to go. Something like the 18 months rule for hard drives, right?
Sounds like you need to wear this shirt to work one day. You know, because you don't really need that job, right? You don't have to put up with that shit.

Como se dice sarcasm?
You should also not touch anything for any reason, at any time, ever as your DNA is a potential tracking device.
Shocking I know.
The correct address for MIT's "Mobile Landscape" project can be found here.
I posted elsewhere in here that it was a typo, I meant a 40GB iPod.
Gah, that was supposed to be a 40, not 4. It was 10 bucks less than the 4GB iPod, though. :)

"What is the USPS doing with this type of research?"
Not delivering my goddamn mail, for one thing.
"A solar flare damaged the solar panels causing a reduction in power."
Ah, powered by irony. Those Japanese are always on the cutting edge.

What's to understand about "speak loudly and carry a big stick"?
The irony's so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"No one wants to speak Googleese if all their friends and business partners are chattin' in AOLish."
This is called "Defining The Problem".

Just writing to say I agree with you entirely. Go away, moderators. Nothing to see here. :|

On that track of thought nothing really requires nuclear action, does it? Except the occasional obligatory dick-measuring. Oy.
I'm currently living in western KY; that doesn't excuse it. And I didn't really insult his intelligence, did I?
People looking for something to take offense to usually find it.
