Hello is designed to let you send high-quality pictures instantly and securely over any speed connection, even dialup. With Hello, you can send hundreds of high quality pictures to your friends in just seconds--you can't do that with email.
Damn, I hope they apply this to all files soon so people with dialup connections can download Gentoo instantly!!
I had my mother come home yesterday and she tried to use my win computer... I had forgotten how difficult it can be to use a windowed interface to somebody that almost never does it.
Then maybe MS-DOS would be more appropriate for her?
How does that make sense? So, all the Linux distroes that don't want to pay for the TM just remove 'Linux' from their name (how many already have it in there?). Microsoft call their version Minix... no wait, it'll have to be Misex or something. But, as long as it doesn't have 'Linux' in the name you're fine? How is that protecting quality or mindshare? Microsoft Vista - a Linux(R)-based operating system!
I agree, this isn't that much of a 'solution' at all. To me the solution is clear - big websites need to pool money together and lobby the US government to make it *illegal to delete cookies*. When that's enshrined in law, all other countries will have to follow suit, and the problem is solved.
I think Columbine made it worse because now the administrators are going apeshit over every little thing - turning the schools into a sort of police state.
Sorry - a Brit here. Could you just explain to me what 'Columbine' means in that context? I'm a bit perplexed.
Bah, not really. You could extend this to cover almost anything. Like typing on a computer. Touch and sight are obvious. Hearing, hearing the keys press. Smell, the smell of your keyboard after 2 years. Taste, the taste of your keyboard after 2 years.
How many activities do we engage in which use all five of our senses? There are two of them. Eating and fucking. That just sounds like intellectual masturbation (pun intended). How is hearing used in eating? How is taste used in regular sex?
That's a good one, but I seem to remember an even funnier one with a guy that starts yelling in his ranting about Windows/PCs... I think it also featured the 'switch ads' background music. But I've forgotton where I downloaded it. Damn... I was talking about this the other day as well, co-incidentally.
If anyone remembers this ad please reply to this post! I'd dearly love to see it again.
Well, in this country it's actually hard to get just internet service via cable - the companies usually insist you pay for their TV and telephony services as well, in a bundle. If you can just have internet service over there, then ok. I guess I just fall back to the fact that a duopoly is barely better than a monopoly in this instance; they're both crap in rural areas, and only good in some urban areas. Big deal. You're always gonna have some choice if you live in a big urban area.

In other words, they were a Slashdotter?
Wow, that's retarded.

Who needs to determine that? Just shove Google Adsense on the site, and they determine it for you!

No simulators?!
:-)?
What about Sega Rally? Daytona USA? Screamer? Smashing Drive (my personal favourite
Hey, that's a cool idea - why don't people start starring the O*ympic G*mes, just like swear words? Get a bit of negative publicity against this shit.
So hearing is indeed part of eating.

The residents of Martinique probably don't want a risk of any more casualties, given recent events...

ICANN simply cannot do its job as long as the USA controls (or claims to control) the DNS.

Not that up on Perl? The above changes the original sentence to 'ICANN simply cannot do its job.'
Even more impressive, Sergei can write English better than the average Slashdot editor.
So can a trained bacterium.
I don't think much of this technology, the developers are just pissing in the wind.
Just in case anyone was wondering (haha), I did manage to track down a mirror of the original, higher quality version of the parody, here.
Aha! That is indeed the one I meant, thank you. Shame about the video quality though... didn't I see a much better quality version first time around?
Now that I think about it, it might even have been a reverse-switch ad, farcically advocating a switch to the PC. Just in case anyone remembers...

+5, Insightful? :-O *jaw hits ground* I must seriously be missing something about this comment.
Even the rich are getting shafted by Microsoft these days!
Please God, the BBC will have lost its charter by then and we can finally be rid of the UK-funds-rest-of-world's TV tax.
And they should have these things for talking to women too! Why are shy guys still discriminated against there??

Why rely on a big, greedy company with an infrastructure monopoly to allow fair use of 'their' lines when you can force their hand???
