1) Hype product for half a decade
2) ???
3) Don't profit because you took too long - c'mon Microsoft, you ARE trying to make money, right?;)
i'm thinking it's this:
1- Hype a product
2- Wait
3- Once someone comes out with something innovative, rush to implement it and pretend it was in longhorn since 2001!
4- ?
5- PROFIT!!!
the civic and insight hybrids come in manual or cvt. while cvt would do better than a conventional automatic, a manual will still get you the best gas mileage.
cvt is dang cool though . . . the belt is metal and therefore pretty constant width, and the pulleys are shaped like: )( and can spread apart to drop the belt down lower or get closer together and push the belt out toward the edges. this effectively gives you infinite gears.
Why don't you both just disable multi-line typing, and hit ENTER to send your message??
that's what i'm doing now, but i also don't want it keeping windows open on my screen while i'm waiting for a reply, and i haven't found a way to get to my contact list to send the person another message before they reply . . .
also sometimes i want multiple lines just because i do.
excellent--i've been looking for something to replace trillian ever since i had to start using it due to aol breaking icq enough that i couldn't use that client anymore. i really hope i can tab to the send button--that's always been the most annoying part of using trillian for me.
don't for get about the students at other colleges who were also sued and settled for the same thing. i think there were 4 students at 3 schools, one of them being at michigan tech. if you're handing out money, i'm sure the other 3 students could use it as well.
(no links 'cause i don't want to look them up right now)
exactly! if people would stop stealing beach houses, real estate companies wouldn't have to charge so much for them just to make up for all the lost profits!
it didn't say that 72 seconds = 72 hours, it just related the 72 seconds to the fact that 72 hours is 3 days.
what i wonder about though is where they get the 72 seconds from--is this the actual time watching the movie that neo is dead, or is there a clock somewhere in the movie?
with spelling like "noone" and "woah" it's a wonder your english teach in hs passed you.
seriously though, i think that parts of the movie were actually intended to get people thinking, while others where simply supposed to be funny (like the tastes like chicken part). personally i have trouble with the idea that humans somehow generate energy. of course maybe it's just that the humans are just the best way to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, but could 'growing' humans seriously be more efficient than what we're doing right now for power? especially when you consider the overhead of running the matrix . . .
of course if you think about it too much, pretty much any movie has problems like that. luckily though, most of the time these things don't jump out and bother me the first time i see the movie . . .
Longhorn
The code name Longhorn is a reference to a rowdy bar at the Whistler ski area in British Columbia. The bar lies between two peaks, Whistler and Blackcomb. Whistler was the code name for Windows XP, the operating system launched in 2001, and Blackcomb is the code name for the operating system that will come after Longhorn.
i'm pretty sure ms uses names of local downhill ski runs as codenames. i'd give you a link, but i'm too lazy.

Slashdot seems to put a space in between the 5 and 4 up there
my understanding is that slashcode has a feature to automatically insert spaces in long strings so that nobody can make the page wider by making a comment with a really long word

you, sir, are obviously not a member of DNRC.
