"Apple has screwed up updates before, so I'm always weary."
I was getting weary from fixing the problems QT updates were causing, so now I'm wary about updating without waiting to see what problems they are causing for other.
if I buy a copy of cold fusion and use it to set up a web based admin, production, scheduling system. Can someone come along and say the process we created is patented and that I can't use it?
There's no mystery about it, it's simply brainwashing from a very early age. The whole family is structured around their religion as a way of having an identity, community, history, comradeship, understanding, networking whatever. There's really nothing sinister going on.
Sure they may seem deluded and misguided by people who aren't a part of their scene, but that's really not their problem.
If someone ever got in my face about religion, which has never happened (and I know some hard core religious people) I'd tell them to pick on someone else.
Weird how I didn't remember the graphics like that, although it comes back to me now after seeing it.
Also, here's a Ports Of Call emulation from a german site. I played it a while ago and forgot about it. It's exactly the same as I remember it. I used to go to a friends house and stay up all night, literally, playing it night after night. I must have been nuts.
I can't remember what mine was it was but it was text based and in one scene you're in a dark cave with rope and you get to climb down the rope through a hole in the back of the cave to continue with the game.
After that I wrote a couple of my own in basic, and then after that it was Ports Of Call on an Amiga(?)
But seriously folks, after mapping out our local store and the kind of items in each aisle/section, it was pretty easy to generate the most efficient route to take through the store after entering all the items we needed to pick up. To make things easier a pulldown list of menus for each day throws all the ingredients required into the list so we don't miss anything.
It's super quick to get through the store now.
We suggested to the store management that they provide the same service on their website but they said it would screw up the Treasure Hunt aspect of shopping, when people buy things on a whim.
If Microsoft was really smart about this, they'd have a little screen that anyone with kids would be given that showed cartoons. They shopper would get to the cereal aisle and all of a sudden Spongebob starts ranting about Super Sugar Sucker Shit and the kid immediately starts demanding some on pain of death.
On Tuesday at at the Macworld keynote you'll see why Mac users won't give a rats ass about watching Netflix movies, hence the timing of the Netflix announcement. As usual, too little too late.
FWIW Mac users still can't buy music from Napster, or any of the so-called "Plays Fer Sure" online outlets, and play it on an iPod.
Whenever there's a joke running, with people tagging onto it, just wait until the person who rarely says anything adds to the joke then say "OK, don't kill it".
The feed brings us a New Scientist review of the repairs and new instruments that astronauts will bring to the Hubble Space Telescope next August (unless the launch is delayed).

"are more expensive then two separate units and do not come with free DVD's of either format"
In my experience anything that comes bundled with "free" stuff from a third party is an offer too good to be true. What's the catch?? Go into a music store and compare D/A converters for example. The one that doesn't have free software sellotaped to it will usually be the better piece of kit.
Show me a HD-DVD player that comes with a coupon for ten DVD's and all I see is a turd.
"Goatse Guy in Hi-Def? He might need to re-shoot the picture."
I can see it now, a digital restoration and enhancement technician looking through the daily work sheets and seeing a job called "goatsecx" scheduled for high definition upscaling and manual pixel manipulation:
"Hmm, that sounds like an interesting project. I think I'll take a look at that after a couple of pints and a curry at lunch time. Maybe I can finally have Sally bring my niece and nephew over to the lab to help me with it. They've been asking for a while now what it is I actually do for a living".

There's no way Osama would use a Zune. He's an iPod Nano guy if ever I saw one.
It only mentions the fixes in the version you couldn't read.

Why not tie a rock to it and throw it down as hard as you can. That should do it.
Scrap the space program...we'll never make it to heaven with all those oscillations!!
While you're at it you might want to check out some pornos. They often use hand-held cameras too.

This is getting worse than Mac vs PC.

Ask the FBI, I'm sure they have a list somewhere.
That's why most of the drawings of Galileo are from the waist up, because his bollocks are so huge they wouldn't fit on the canvas.
"primitive primate"
Isn't that an oxymoron?
Ignorance is bliss for sure.
That's it. Thanks.

I thought it said Microsoft Sucks.

So I take it you're rooting for Ron Paul?
Anyone who has to use a manual to use a PS3 is not a geek. Trust me.

Amen to that.

Works every time.

How can they bring it if they're not there yet?
