Ok, mod me uninformed, but it seems stupid to block free energy. There is so much raw energy to harvest, and yet we want to limit that? Perhaps scientists should focus more on ways that we as humans can minimalize our impact on the environment.
I ask this question with full sincerity: Are we going to see people writing malware for Xboxes? It's connected to the internet, and it's running Windows. What more could you possibly need? I could imagine that it probably doesn't support ports 80, 25, etc. but it could happen..
Is it just me, or is Microsoft attempting to re-invent their image? "Magneto", like "Underdog" (the new search engine) is definitely a far cry from "Longhorn" in terms of target audience.
An hour before a programming project was due, I misused the jar utility. In my state of exhaustion, I typed
% jar cf GraphicsTest.java ConsoleGraphics.java...
instead of first specifying the.jar file name.
Oops.
jar ran, and expectedly axed my source file. I stared at my monitor in disbelief. My breathing got irregular and I seriously started to panic. Not fun.
Fortunately, when source is in your head and your adrenaline is pumping, you can rewrite a few hundred lines of code pretty quickly:)
While such a "marriage" (read: merge?) would provide benefits for both companies, Apple could lose it's "cool" image that has helped it dominate the digital music market. IBM isn't known to be hip. Although us geeks know they are way cooler than MS, the general public envisions men in business suits when they hear IBM mentioned.
No, he meant virile. We all know how Microsoft's bend-over-and-take-it policy makes companies and customers, er, feel.
Actually, the real problem is that it's both viral and virile... not only do they fuck lots of people over, they manage to infect them at the same time.
If there are species in space that share our territorial behavior, we'll be sure to discover their existence when our $2B interstellar lasers start "internally combusting" (as the media will put it).

I sure as hell hope we can't run Windows on it.
"Hello, I am Guardrobo D1 anGET B1GGER WITH V1AGRA!"
what with a name like Guardrobo.
But does it have frickin' laser beams?

Yes it does. The Heart of Gold.
"Windows turned my computer into a bowl of petunias!"
Can I mod your title as redundant?

I hope I speak for the rest of the Slashdot community when I say that you have one of the sickest fetishes I've ever heard of.

Microsoft: The new Apple wannabe? I dunno.

The first law of new software is you do NOT talk about new software.

Edit:
That was supposed to be:
"Hello, Charlie.." [/hannibal] -- with html brackets.
What's that silly preview button for, anyhow?
Wow, that's one scary Willy Wonka. I can almost see him saying:

I thought it was pronounced "Homeland Security"...
I guess I'd better brush up with my Hooked On Phonics tapes.
Of course the soundtrack does better. Celes' theme, the Opera, Dancing Mad (yes! yes!).
Oh yeah, the other song that gets stuck in my head is the damned Veldt. Nooo, I'm hearing it already!

If they got the pictures, then Mr. pr0n company needs to somehow protect them better. And it's not like it's Ansel Adams photography either.
And instead of suing Google for providing a link to some page that allows one to exploit their site, why not make something more secure?
Yet another company guilty of doing things The American Way.

If I lost my 2300 pictures I'd be lost.
Lost? Just get that imagination working, and you wouldn't need those 2300, er, pictures.
