I have on old fat 60gb (with the backwards compatibility) and recently bought a new slim. When setting up the systems I found that the slim didn't like the hdd from the fat as is. It would not boot and kept demanding a usb drive with the system on it to boot. Switched the hdd back to the original and it booted properly. Seems to me the system software is kept on the hdd of the slim but in some sort of flash on the fat. I'm mentioning it here because I've not found a reference anywhere to this difference in operation, but it makes sense from a cost cutting angle. Also, the slim boots more slowly, probably because it's waiting for the hdd to spin up.
When would this not be legal? Can you give me an example. I would think not being flexible on price (*cough* price-fixing *cough*) was the non-legal situation.
What are these Olympic Games you mention? I've not seen any for years except for a few seconds until I change channel or turn the tv off when caught off guard.
You truly think the amount of interest you earn on keeping that money in the bank in any way compares to the full ticket price you pay on an item when you purchase it with "xx month interest free" deals? At most it would be a few dollars interest and you could easily knock $10 off the price of any item you even consider buying on an "interest free" deal by paying up front - not even necessarily with cash. You could save substantially more and the savings are always going to be magnitudes larger than the interest you'd make on the same money. Moral is: You ARE paying interest on that money you're borrowing, it's just hidden in the ticket price.
In Australia, it is against the law to leave your vehicle unlocked. You could have been fined!!! I still haven't figured out why such a law was required.
A nice large kitchen knife or cleaver is always close at hand if someone breaks in and it's probably far quicker to access than to unlock the gun cabinet and load the gun.
Hell, keep the axe inside, or shovel. There are plenty of "weapons" around the house to defend yourself with if our inclined to confront an intruder.
You say Dell monitors are of amazing quality then go on to that after a years use the on/off button broke. I've never had a power switch break on any monitor I have ever owned. Does that mean every monitor I've ever owned has been of exceptional quality because of it???
Just don't buy Dell - they're still made in China.
Word open faster than OpenOffice even using Wine. That is quite ridiculous. Why is this ridiculous? Wine executes the binaries directly and just maps the calls to system equivalents.
The problem (AFAIK) is that OpenOffice code is a horrible deformed beast. OpenOffice source code is openly available so why not contribute and clean it up yourself? Oh, that's right, you're safely hidden behind your keyboard where snarky remarks can easily be made and are mostly expected.
Spice had nothing to do with making the ship travel faster than light. The Holtzman effect was used to "fold space" long before the spice was used to navigate it. The spice only allows you to see into the future a little way and this allows them to plot a course without obstacles because travelling faster than light - actually near instantaneously - would of course make all other forms of obstacle detection ineffectual.
Yes I do know a lot about Dune, I actually appeared on a TV game show with it as my specialty.
I'm going to print this out and frame it.
The perfect rebuttal. 100% correct but so many people just don't see it that way.
What was it Warren Buffett implied about Gates when he donated all that money?
No, Apple do sell complete full version of OS X. I've got one and it doesn't require any previous installation of the OS to work. Also, Apple sell 5 user family packs of the OS for those that feel installing the single license version on many computers. That doesn't stop the single license version from being able to install on as many macs as you want.

No, I'm sure he's serious. His problem is obviously with Google manipulating search results. If I'm wrong, then yes the gp is a moron.

So the solution is to live... under the sea! Oh, and buy up all the bottles water you can before it is contaminated.
Or just send in Godzilla.
and less people scrambling for the few jobs there are... (ouch)
So you are part of the problem.

Reminds me of Vogon poetry. Only worse...
I am Donal Blarney's left nipple!
The z spelling is the correct British English. Not as you put it.
You Sir are the "loser"!

Rent, it's best in the long term anyway.
Mmm, to reduce fuel consumption, yeah they'll fall for that...
And cause an eyesight epidemic by squinting to see the tiny screens.
Bravo. Absolutely spot on.

You missed a word: "Congratulations!!! You've won a fabulous trip to Floston Paradise!!!."
