While upgrading my Catalyst driver from 7.7 to 7.8 I had my first BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on Windows Vista Ultimate Eng OEM (64-bit), so yes i understand their worries.
When I visited the doctor the last time they measured my waist, and said (to my great surprise) that 92 cm (36 in) is the recommended measure for men of ANY length.
But, since they are no longer part of the seven wonders of the world, it gives very low cred to the entire voting. Imagine someone talking about Colosseum vs the Pyramids 1500 years ago... They would be laughed at. Sorry Rome...
Petra.... Bwaahahaha. Cool, but not a wonder.
That Rio dude? Holy cheesy bad taste...
Chinese Wall? Yep!!!
Chichen Itza? ok (but they are like minor in comparison to the real thing)
Taj Mahal? ok, but Angkor Vat would have been better.
I have been to (and inside) both the Colosseum and the Pyramids. They are not in the same league. The pyramids are just so... extraterrestrial?
I think it was Kaiser Wilhelm II who first forced this kind of law at the beginning of the previous century. Apparently he had had a bad hair day photo taken and created a law...
It would have been nice to be an Emperor, occassionally! I have had many a bad hair day.
I think a Carmack + the Torvalds could make some serious inroads here, obliterating the scenario you pose. Unfortunately, the Carmack I think of is apparently into rocketry in his spare time...:(
While I would love to help out in 3D graphics, but am in no way capable, I am also curious - how many competent 3D graphics hardware developers are there, really, outside of AMD, nVidia and a few other companies? What do they expect? A handful, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of developers? Is it really that 'easy' so that they would benefit from from the Argus eye?

I was on vacation in Malaysia last year. So, of course, I checked out the tropical paradise island I had been to when I came home. To my my surprise the island had disappeared in those few months, it was no longer available in Google Maps. Q: Should I have more baseless destinations in the future?
"So, why would we be covering the Koenigsegg CCXR here on AutoblogGreen? Well, I'm glad you asked! This vehicle is just like their standard CCX, except that it has had its standard 800 HP V8 engine converted to run on E85. In the conversion process, the machine picked up a substantial amount of power. How much? How about 1018 hp at 7200 rpm and the torque to 1060 nm at 6100 rpm?"
Ever since Creative declared war on Apple late last year we've been expecting a little more of a street brawl between the two. Obviously being number one has made it easy for Steve Jobs to ignore everyone else, but fortunately Creative CEO Sim Wong Hoo (or as Stevie J. probably calls him, "Sim Wong Who?") wasn't above dishing out some salty fightin' words for us in honor of the launch of the iPod shuffle yesterday, calling it a "a big let-down" and "worse than the cheapest Chinese player." This stuff is too good not to blockquote:
"We're expecting a good fight but they're coming out with something that's five generations older. It's our first generation MuVo One product feature, without display, just have a (shuffle feature). We had that -- that's a four-year-old product. So I think the whole industry will just laugh at it, because the flash people -- it's worse than the cheapest Chinese player. Even the cheap, cheap Chinese brand today has display and has FM. They don't have this kind of thing, and they expect to come out with a fight; I think it's a non-starter to begin with."
I had to check it with a Norwegian colleague, who confirmed you pronunciation.
(I had thought it meant 'scythe' (Sw. 'lie', No. 'ljå' [pronouced 'yaw'!]), but actually it was 'slope' (Sw. lid; with a pronouned 'd' in the high form, but silent in dialectal forms).
So, all those years calling the Tryggve Lie a scythe was in in vain...
We have been sending two DVDs, with about 6-8 GB data, around every month for updates. Now we are trying rsync, which in our view has been more convenient.
IBM and Intel Corporation, with support from dozens of other companies, have developed a proposal to enhance PCI Express* technology to address the performance requirements of new usage models, such as visualization and extensible markup language (XML).
The proposal, codenamed "Geneseo," outlines enhancements that will enable faster connectivity between the processor -- the computer's brain -- and application accelerators, and improve the range of design options for hardware developers.

What?!
Rather think "When Microsoft writes an application for Linux, I've Won.", as said by Linus Torvalds

Dell supporting Ubuntu is EXCELLENT!
But, please, remain in contact with the mothership - Debian.
GM?! Do you have a torrent for a Chevy Van? Have a new broadband connection that I was told could handle just about everything.

Is the wonder machine, I also use... :)
:(
However, I am not allowed to use Linux.
Dell support would be fine, but corporate policies need to change too.
In other news we here that bats are confirmed as mammals.
Seriously, how often do we need to hear that birds are dinosaurs, and that they are the only surviving group of them.
Bats wouldn't seize to be mammals, even if we killed all mammals except the bats. Is this really an issue any longer?

Pronounce it "Lee-eh"; At least that is how I would do it as a Scandinavian.
The life expectancy was surely higher if you belonged to the wealthier classes, as it is today.

They are probably paid for, but given an unprofessional look to give that grass-root look.
The funniest of them is the FreeBSD dude who is irritated because people mix him up with the Linux dude, neither of which look like an Apple noob.
