Does it really offend you? Does it? If it does, I feel sorry for your beliefs.
I am an atheist. Last time I checked there's nothing stopping me from not saying "under God". There's also nothing stopping me from saying "under my Gods", "under Goddess", or whatever suits my beliefs.
This thing is blown way out of proportion. It doesn't offend me that some people believe in a higher being even though I don't. I can't believe it would offend anyone else. This isn't a mandatory prayer session. This isn't a sacrificial virgin killing before every school day. This is a simple pledge directed at a flag to our nation, showing our love and allegiance to it.
People really need to stop being so sensitive, and need to start facing reality.
I love zombocom. Perfect parody of oh so many sites that have excrutiatingly long flash intros. It's great when someone annoying asks for a link on where to buy something.
Annoying person: Hey, do you know where I can buy [insert obscure product]?
Me: I think they sell one of those over at Zombocom. [link] Just wait past the flash intro
Why is there a num lock key? I know what it does, but really, it's pretty stupid to have. I don't know anyone who uses the keypad when they're not typing numbers.
The fact that it's off by default with xp pro makes me wonder even more.
Yeah, it's falling-off-a-long easy, but what isn't said is that Airport defaults with 128-bit encryption. So I guess we can through the leecher theory out the window.

Because no one minds adding an extra grand on their laptop to have pretty stuff come out in a hologram. How exactly would you interact? A 3D mouse would be *hard* to design (especially on a laptop) and a stylus would be intrusive.
Better yet is what I did. About a month ago, my friend online said he just got a domain. Once I asked him what it was, I did a whois search. Once I had the address, a mapquest search was all it took to get an ariel shot of his house.
DISCLAIMER: I am a fan of apple. I'm typing this on an iBook.
Apple's been pissing me off with the advertising of the G5. All these benchmarks are just plain stupid. They compare it to Pentium 4, Xeon, whatever. Guess what Apple, you forgot a processor. The G4. Really, tell me, inform me as to who is currently torn between a 3GHz Dell and a Dual 2GHz Apple, and needs to know which one is faster. To 99.99% of the market, a few seconds difference encoding.mp3's really doesn't matter. Photoshop benchmarks? People who are going to be using photoshop professionally have most likely already decided whether or not they're going to buy an Apple. Even if the G5 was undeniably faster by a great margain, I doubt that fact would sell more than a few hundred units. However Apple, look at your site. You're still selling Powermac G4's for considerably less than the G5's. So I want to know how it compares to the G4. Because most of your sales aren't going to be from people who want to buy the fastest desktop computer. It's going to be from people who want to buy the fastest Apple.

Um, and rightfully so
At least for that day it was. Their stock doesn't seem to be following their financial troubles very well...
Why don't you just buy a 56k modem? You'll see speeds improve a lot and they only cost, what? 10 bucks new?
Knowing that, and knowing dial up is restricted to ONLY 56k, I really can't feel that badly for you.
Sorry to nitpick, but the summary refers to Maddog as John Hall, whereas his real name is Jon Hall.
Nice guy too.
Oh please.

Perfect for those long night coding sessions.
I think we're going to need some Valve ones when Half Life 2.

Works every time.
The problem is not the keypad (which I also use), but the numlock, which makes the keypad turn into basically more arrow keys.

You're new here, aren't you?
I for one welcome our new democratic police state.
Did that scumbag also steal your swingline stapler?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

He hasn't unblocked me since...
That's exactly what I was "implying". For once, thanks for putting words in my mouth =)
But does it run Linux?

They are irrelevant.

Yes.
Non-official firmware things like this scare me. If it wasn't included by Apple, there's most likely a reason.
Caveat emptor. Even though it's free.
yes, I have. haven't you ever heard of a punch line?
Yeah, but at least Martha did it with style.
Is that supposed to make it a good thing?
What on earth made you think that? Apple and IBM are one of the only major laptop manufacturers who sell laptops they make.
