It seems more and more like the comparisons turn from honest analysis to biased back and forth dribble. I feel as though if geeks ruled the world - this man would be Bill O'Reilly, calling for the "end of times!?" of an operating system at this point is way to soothsayer-ish for me. Neither is going to fall over and collapse. Steady growth for linux means increased developer support (more people, more geeks) and that bodes well for longevity. Give it time my padawan learner.
Flamebait or not, I thought it was funny.
It's not my place to say who should or should not have a blog, but...
Just as everyone shouldn't run a "website", I think we can all agree a great many of the "blogs" out there don't contribute a whole lot. Of course, you could say this in reference to ALL CONTENT on the internet as well.
These days the internet is a digital playground. Let the kids play.
I think one of the things that really propelled Joss Whedon to the front stage as a "great writer" is that the shows he did, a la Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, where competing against things like Suddenly Susan and Friends.
His shows, and Buffy especially, had a wicked attitude, a beautiful fantasy/character driven show, and for most of us that started watching Buffy back in '97 it was a take on your every day high school, replete with jocks, cliques, bullies, and a-hole teachers. I think as it progressed, there was a certain age group that followed the series into through high school and into college, while they themselves were making the same transitions.
And I'll definitely be seeing Serenity. Sci-fi just had a Firefly marathon so I'm ultra stoked.
*$2,000 Paper!
*Finally I can code and send my source via bottle while stranded on a tropical island.
*"Only true hax0rs send their pc's by mail TUBE."
*Overhead projectors = the obsolete?
*One more extraneous piece of equipment I can buy, not buy the extended warranty on, and break?
Sounds hot, I'll take one.
You don't even understand, the secret is in what the y DON'T tell you. After Tom Hanks (the mildly retarded yet persistant shrimping captain turned astronaut) gets stranded after the lunar lander, loses 70 pounds, and is rescued when he triumphantly sends an email to an unwitting cute small time bookstore owner, who he later marries - and manages as the head of a womans baseball team.
If that isn't sheer gold, it's at least Oscar worthy.
Count me in. T dub out.
I can see it now. A bunch of guys staring at their PDAs wondering why the luggage sitting in front of them isn't going anywhere.
On a side note, anyone else ever want to ride those tracks a la Toy Story 2?

Oh ya, I can't wait to shell out 14.95 for a solid MONTH of Zoo Tycon.
Where does the time go?
I decided about a year and a half ago to give apple a chance on their ibook. However, because of consistent problems outside of warrenty, battery failings, and logic board issues, I figured Apple would live up to the name they built for themselves. All I can remember is that Apple stood for reliability and dependence, that I should "Switch."
Unfortunately, because I've shared all the problems mentioned within the article, and because the customer service departments have been of no help, the first mac I ever bought will now be my last.
From a business standpoint, Apple cannot afford to alienate all of us first time users. At 20 years old, I have quite a few more computers to pick up in the coming years, and unless things change - they'll be anything BUT macs...

Imagine the glory of our army if every soldier had a theme song in their bullets so for every kill they got a burst of musical fanfare! It would probably liven up the monotony of semi-auto machine gun fire...
Last night, for the first time since 9/11 I was glued to my TV for a few hours watching the same old footage over and over, waiting for something to happen but instead, being subjected to CNN commentators saying the same thing over and over again. However, every time they'd show a live shot of Bagdad (sp?) I was waiting for something to blow up, fire to reign down from the sky...something. The point of this is - it all seems like a movie, it seems surreal as hell and I'm still not fully realizing the severity of what's happening with the troops over there, some of which are my friends.
Call me crazy, but no matter how real it is, I still can't "wait to see what happens next!" Gotta love the American mentality.
I'd totally be all over a bit of homework and put something together like this, save for the fact that the last time I started putting components together my processor lit on fire. With that much cabling and harddrives I bet I could light 'em off like a pack of lady-fingers on the fourth of july.

Who says electronics can't be fun...
But seriously, I bet if I wired this in my dorm room I could get some mean negative pings in UT '03. Kinda like a 'spider sense' for the pc.
