    Which article was that in? I couldn't find it :(.

    Here's another funny quote (not Miyamoto):

    Unix CEO responds:
    What do you mean my company is dead? There is no Unix company. I'm not even a CEO. I sell potatoe salad at First and Main. Why are you interviewing me?

    If he would have said that, there wouldn't have been any comments at all (not even first post or goatse).

    So why didn't they just "revert back" to Windows 3.1? Or even DOS 2? For some reason, they got past those releases and moved onto Windows 95, why?

  5. Re:I see this every day. on Pointless IT Innovations Considered Harmful · · Score: 1
    ... often typing several screens in advance.

    I've dubbed that phenomena "muscle memory". The only way to combat the muscle memory of secretaries, etc., is to give the higher-ups more real-time application reporting capabilities (how many widgets were sold today, etc). The higher-ups can never get enough reports, and they'll forgo anything to get them.

  10. Hobbitses can't attack hobbitses. on LOTR: War of the Ring Real-Time Strategy Game · · Score: 1, Funny
    ... it will be possible to pit the forces of good and evil against their own kind, but in order to stay true to the books there are apparently a number of events that will never be allowed to transpire--hobbits attacking other hobbits being one of the examples mentioned.

    With that in mind, I know there will be a lot of players who will never be hobbits(es). Some players just join these games to run amuck and kill everything in sight, so they won't be able to stand being a hobbit.

  12. My Dell Laptop has never been abused... on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1
    My Dell Laptop has been babied throughout its life, but it is a piece of cr*p. The lettter 't' barely works, and when it does work, it prints triple. My left control-key doesn't work anymore, and the battery is nearly completely dead.

    Anyone know how to fix a laptop keyboard?

  16. Make your own snowflake! on Snowflake Photos · · Score: 4, Funny
    We are even beginning to engineer "designer" snow crystals, with patterns of our own choosing.

    I've been doing that since grade school. Here are my instructions:

    1. Pick up a piece up paper (maybe from your printer)
    2. Fold the piece of paper in half about 6-7 times. The end result should be a small thick wad of paper.
    3. Now pick up some scissors (watch out for sharpness!)
    4. Cut some small triangles out of the folded piece of paper. Do this about 11-13 times, varying the shapes and sizes.
    5. Now unfold the paper.
    6. Tape the resulting snowflake to window or refrigerator (or give to a pal).
    7. ... profit ;-)
