The search function completely sucks. If I'm looking for a comment that I *KNOW* was posted in an story, but can't remember the story, good freaking luck finding it.
I usually wind up with better results by using google ("search text" +site:slashdot.org).
Apparently the TNG uniforms also rode up on the actors, to the point where the act of pulling down the jacket as one stood became known as "The Picard Manuver".
it's all too easy to let the most convenient/nice way to code something dictate the user experience;
I had something like this happen with some version of NetBeans. I filed a bug because it was damn near impossible to find "check for update". They had moved it into some incredibly obscure place, because "that's where it was in the code".

Well played, Old97. Well played.
Or Ben Schneiderman. In particular, Designing the User Interface.
When did the non-AC time go from 2 minutes to 5 minutes? That's a pisser, too!

I believe the 14th, despite what you may think of its flaws, extended these restrictions on government powers to the States.
My *real* problem with the Chairman is that whenever I watch Hawaii Five-0, I expect Wo Fat to say, " Allez Cuisine! "
You, sir, are a sadist (or a masochist, depending upon whom the system belongs to).
The Chairman says "Let the battle begin" before he unveils the secret ingredient
<OVERDRAMATIC>
"Let the Battle Begin!"

Damn... that's saying a lot!
ISTR that MS did that right. Program Manager entries went to the Start menu.
Yeah, I know. That's why the bit about S-E vs. SCEA.
Sony *HELPING* hackers?????
Obvoiusly Sony-Ericsson didn't get the memo from SCEA.
As the perp says in Dirty Harry, "I gots to know..."
What *did* win the bet?

Me too!

Seriously, I already commented here, or I'd have tried to mod this up. Someone please do so.

You're forgetting Silverman's Paradox -- "If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will".
In it's simplest form -- washing your car to make it rain doesn't work. SImilarly, putting all your data on one drive to make it fail won't work.
Yep. DO-178B is a bitch.
No, you put it in a system with AGP and PCI slots.
Are there seriously that many 32bit-isms in the code that they can't do a 64-bit release?
Clearly, lorikeets are nerds.
It will all have been worth it.
I guess we can't eat all we want... They won't make more.

It's probably Italish rather than Engtalian.
