"It literally takes 2 people to do it. In subs and silos, 2 people must perform an action simultaneously. Turn keys, for instance. Seperated by a dozen feet or so. 1 person physically can't do it."
Phew, thank goodness we live in a World where crimes are always ever commited by one person.
Thinking of Microsoft as a marketing company really does make things a lot clearer to me. It certainly helps explain why most of the execs who left the company in the mid 90's were able to grow startups so quickly, leading to the.com boom. They were sales and marketing people, not technical people. They couldn't have talked their way into millions of dollars of funding if they'd been techies.
"Then they poke it with a 9V battery and it springs back to life."
Ah, so they actually put the battery contacts on the fish itself. I was under the impression from previous posts that they just put the battery contacts onto the surface of the water.
Looking at that makes me wonder wtf was meant to happen at the Arc De Triomphe seeing as so mnay roads all converge there.
Apart from the world's biggest roundabout, what exactly is so Triomphant about that Arc?
I just took the starter memory card that came with my camera apart (I since bought a couple of 512MB cards) and I see a Lexar Media chip and a Samsung chip. Which one would be the memory and what would the other one be?
What if the Earth is some kind of Art Planet, and what we do here really is copied "out there", or at least observed and acted upon, in the same way as in Galaxy Quest.
Lets face it, that sure does look like the Eye Of Sauron and it sure wasn't discovered before a couple of million beings on Planet Earth saw the movie and started dreaming about it or whatever.

"Or perhaps a tea cozy."
I like it, but not good when wet. It would be like draping that sodden wool cardigan of Starsky's over it.
Why not simply wrap a big damp towel around the thing?
Not bath towel material, which would weigh far too much when wet, but instead a dish cloth type material, or maybe even a big damp napkin.
Why is it behind your chair?
Why not on a shelf, in the closet or in a stoarge space somewhere?
I've put computers in all sorts of places before but never behind my chair, and especially a computer I've never even plugged in.
I just wind all the windows down and don't drop below 120MPH.
It does seem a waste, burying all that useful material, or worse still burning it.
"Apple is a business and it's trying desperating to hold on to it's trendiness as iPod fever dies off."
Pet Rocks, wearing pants around your knees and sticking safety pins through your nose are trends, not the iPod.
It's too functional to be trendy, and it's evolving too fast to simply fade away any time soon.
You need to upgrade to XP then - I don't think Windows ME is supported ;-)

How about this player, it seems to play WMV files just fine!
My dual 2 GHz G5 with 1.5 GB RAM loads from apple logo to desktop in around 7 seconds.
Talking of maps, I was looking for a place in Washington this afternoon and noticed a VERY rude word in the URL.

You'll notice it actually says Fuck You (which is kind of appropriate seeing as MapBlast is owned my Microsoft).
Imagine the horror if the Pope or someone in the White House was to see this terrible terrible word in their address bar.
I wonder if anyone has seen others that are, gasp, worse??

There's also a pretty realistic living hell in Windows ME

Hey I'm a pioneer too.
I just set up a Podcast AND an RSS feed to it (but I'll pass on the link folks because it, erm, doesn't seem to be working right now).
Ugh - glad I didn't watch it.
Thanks for the descriptions people.
As much as I'd like to see what happens in the video, I get weirded out by the bad stuff happening to living things.
So, what happens?

"What a fucking wanker you are.
When you climb out of your parents basement and get a life you might realise their are more "ridiculous" things out their. Like the USA."
I guess you're right dude. Jeez, the Brits are soooo smart. Why don't I get it?
"if you're looking up porn from school, you're a ****ing idiot."
If you meant to say fucking idiot just say it!
No such thing as swear words on Slashdot I don't think?
