Well, we don't know everything they are up to, but we do know their slogan and we disagree with that.
It looks like Bill Gates no longer speaks in singular. Or do Gates finally speak in plural? All the windows and gates, it can make quite a mess in all their heads...
Funny thing is, all the doors were unlocked. It turns out that when the airbags fire the doors unlock, and you can fire airbags by physically hitting the accelerometer, and possibly by shorting a contact.
So is this an easy way of unlocking the doors of a car? Sounds a bit insecure to me
Generally, this feature was probably meant to increase possibility of life saving after an accident. But it looks like it was poorly designed (car was not moving, engine was not running, there were no persons inside and no seat belts used).
It really looks like some design flaw or car theft trick:take some other car, crash it a little bit in that Toyota and make it opened.
Well, on my desk is lot of things that used to be on desks of other people...
Just kidding. In addition to above mentioned things, separate 12 V power source (home made) for fan testing, multimeter, small flashlight and huge copper CPU cooler as paperweight.
But usecond resolution would be usefull for higher-frequency data processing and control.
Right, that's useful for real-time data processing, but there's no point in using it for control of anything mechanical since every switch, every solenoid, every servo is so damn slllooowww compared to usec latencies.
WinFS stands for "Windows Future Storage", not "Windows File System"..
I wish to believe that. But the F-words and S-words are coming to my mind.
Anyway, why Microsoft still keeps naming their entire operating system as 'Windows'? It's as silly as to name a car 'Wheels and gears' (which sound better, actually...).
if you actually burn these to DVD you're stuck with the maximum DVD resolution of 480p!
or 576p in PAL, actually. However if average DVB broadcast can be 4MBps, I could store about 1700 hours of video into that beast. Is that enough?
Maybe all Star Trek and Stargate episodes could fit in...
yes. After all, books are cheapest table stabilizer. I can't imagine support table foot with few laptops instead...
And books never run out of batteries and are still readable even after few hundred years...
Ka-boom! There's nothing like crocodile nano C4 charges.
Anyway I always believed that coldblooded animals (especially crocodiles) have slower body metabolism. And maybe they really have, therefore they developed stronger protective mechanisms compared to warm-blooded animals (including humans).
That is exactly the famous 'First shoot, then ask questions' policy.
Police should never have such rights, or we're in a crap. What we need is sort of electronic nose, that can sniff traces of any explosive, but detection dogs are better at this now.

I've still got K6-2 333MHz running in AOpen mobo with Intel TX chipset. Works great, the only trouble is 66 MHz FSB and no AGP. And it doesn't have enough power to play dvd in realtime.
However it was last thing when AMD CPU worked with Intel chipset...
Phones to be the worst? You didn't hear our 'reception -> entire company' loudspeaker system. Everytime someone is needed and not available, the person who needs her calls the reception lady and she shouts something like "Mr. Jingles, please call line 666". Who the hell cares who should call or meet who? The positive think is that loudspeakers are not installed in lavatories; they could just install phones there and we could pee/poo while in touch.
And the bloody noisy printer/scanner/fax/copymachine behind my back, sucks like hell.
As music I'm used to play old Amiga modules; I once bought one cd full of it and that's whole lotta hours of computer music.
My wallet hurtz... But I've discovered I don't need it, since after almost twenty years of gaming I've quitted and I use my Athlon XP system mostly as DVB PVR, video player, some video editing and dvd burning. What I ask for is better OS, not hardware.
BTW since all most of the controllers are on CPU, I expect motherboard prices will decrease since there is not much to remain on them. In extreme, why spend money on the processor pins and the socket itself? Why not solder the CPU to motherboard, like in the old times of some 386 boards? With adequate hole in mobo, we can cool the CPU from both sides.
Maybe this thing unexpectedly triggers the little bombs in the little backpacks of suicidal attackers. Also the AK47s can get real hot and ammo can possibly detonate too.
I wonder that the rioters just change their tactics. Something like taking small children into the riot, exposing them to the ray guns and shout some crap about baby killers. Emotional extortion works well on public opinion.

anyway, we are currently using dead dinosaurs and trees as fuel - it is called 'crude oil', 'coal' and 'natural gas'.

BSOD is dull, dull, dull!
Maybe the probe OS is just excersising the Guru Mediation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_meditation.
Holy cow, I just don't believe that.
What can be worse than UK tap water?

Get me a plenctor from this material.. I'll pick my guitar and play the hardest rock mankind ever heard..

Oh happy me.
Good point. And easy way to dehumanize someone is call him a 'infidel'. Or 'antidemocractic forces', on the other hand.
yes. After all, books are cheapest table stabilizer. I can't imagine support table foot with few laptops instead... And books never run out of batteries and are still readable even after few hundred years...
Money is not an issue.. Since even all money in the world can't buy you completely secure and safe Windows.

I simply couldn't resist:
All your patents are belong to us.

What's it like???

Well in this case Vista stands for VIrus STAnd (as in cloth-rack).

Damn, that's not so good idea. I'll try to microwave pizza instead.. Hey, it works!
