There's that girl who wants to meet me (not sure about sex), but she's somewhere in Europe. I guess I'll have to buy a flight ticket. Oh well. Got to renew my passport too...
Several factors are tied to the sudden but expected death of SGI:
Compatibility - they used to have a proprietary method for connecting things to the computer. Instead of using the VGA that we all use and love, they used 3 RGB cables. People didn't like that because they couldn't make fun use of SGI monitors - at least not without buying converters and stuff.
IRIX user friendliness - while it was cool that IRIX had scaleable icons, it was a shame that if you tried to use the camera with program A but the camera was in use by program B, then program A simply would just say "device in use", instead of giving more details about the error, like which program is keeping the camera busy. That frustrated many users, who hoped that the programmers would care.
Logo change - after SGI changed their logo to boring letters, it accelerated the demise. All the magic was gone.
I am sorry for SGI breaking down. But I hope that Apple can learn from their mistakes. It's too late for Sun I guess. I shall remember you, SGI, and I will think of you every time I play with my future girlfriend.
But everyone is used to this kind of graphics nowadays.
The style looks exactly the same as the one in the previous Final Fantasy movie (a bit more anime-ish though) - I can't see they really evolved in anything, so I figure only Final Fantasy and anime fans would love this.
140km per 6 liters means 23.3 kilometers/liter. Even the Smart car, mentioned here, does better (60 MPG, which is 24.14km per liter). And Smart doesn't require a nearly-depleted energy source (yet).
It's true that the still image doesn't look like what people would expect, there's a video clip of him walking here and it fits Marvin's decription well.
I bought 100 Itanium PCs in order to have lotsa computing power, so I can create realtime virtual porn featuring Princess Fiona, Aki Ross and me. And now those PCs are doomed to stay and collect dust.:( Life just can't get any worse.
Nokia's hardware and software is great, but they have a serious problem in their phone: There are only 5 user groups (except for the Symbian phones, which are usually just too big).
So, it means that you can't assign ringtones for more than 5 people, nor can't organize them nicely, and it's very, very annoying.
I like their "one ring" feature though. Only them and SK got that feature - other phones don't.
They got a cool logo and lovely servers (I like the shinying sparkles on their blue covers).. but people aren't happy to buy their computers. Mostly because of their proprietary peripherals.
Think. It could be cool if you could take a SparcStation keyboard and use it in your own computer, no? But the connection is incompatible. So that might be one of their biggest problems.
Was there a lot of trial and error in this decision?
Ofcourse there was. I needed reliable yet comfortable storage solution. I tried with USB drives first but they were too slow. I wouldn't dare trying IDE, SCSI or parallel drives, so the only solution left was SATA. And I am happy with it. Finally I've found a good place to store my shit around.

Yes, I'm horny. What can I do?

Don't you think 20$ is very expensive?

(why are we in the game section anyway?)
I've just downloaded a porn movie with eMule!
Who's the man?
Is it possible to use the profit margin for sex?

Probably because it's so expensive..

Why didn't they specify how much time it can fly, ha? I hate when they miss that information!
I guess they didn't know it.. what's the point in a flying bot if it can fly for only 2 minutes?
Does McBride have a bride?

Can't you see it's a joke??!?!?

Hi. You are a stupid anonymous coward.
And I wanted to tell you I'm going to masturbate now. Wish me luck and lotsa sperm jets.
Thank you google.
Oh I remember! When you install the google toolbar it asks you if you want to use Google as the default search engine. Maybe you installed it?
I can't find it in TweakUI (w2k). Where is it exactly?
Maybe it's corrupt? Try reading the CD using windows. Even try copying all its content to a temporary folder.
Please stop writing journals with comments disabled - it's really not nice. Thank you.
Why did you make me my foe?????
Anyway, I hate you too, Lars T. Ulrich. And I hate Metallica as well!
