This is just a nerd circle-jerk masquerading as news. IE works fine for 99.5% of the people on the planet. Firefox leaks memory and explodes intermittently for 100% of the people who use it. Get over yourselves already, you little wanna-be revolutionaries. lol

Of course you can. You've obviously never used del.icio.us. It's called a "tag intersection." The syntax is simple:
My son (who's 8) saw the first three when he was barely 4. Loved them. Saw Raiders, etc. that same year. Just teach your kids the difference between movies and reality. Doy.
I don't even know how old my daughter was (she's 5 now) when she was first exposed to Star Wars and Raiders. She's not very interested in explosions and gunplay. But she did sit with my son and I and watch RotS the weekend after it came out. She and I laughed quietly at the crap-ass parts.
She thought Anakin looked like The Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail. She pulled my ear down and whispered (as Anakin was writhing in dismembered, white-hot agony), "It's only a flesh wound!"
But does the x-ray machine have bluetooth? If I'm gonna get a job screening hot euro girl soccer teams, I'm gonna be taking a serious pay cut. I'm going to want to supplement my income by downloading the images to my phone and posting them to a subscription website. Free as in **speech**, not free as in **beer**!
At the risk of losing MASSIVE Karma points, I can't, in good conscience, fail to note that all of these claims that IE is vulnerable to this same type of spoofing are FALSE. You cannot create a fake browser window of ANY size or shape in IE with the same theme the user is employing for his or her desktop. This information is simply NOT available to IE's DHTML implementation. You can fool a retard with a borderless fake window, but you'll never guess my lime green ugly-ass color scheme is in place, and I **will** notice the rogue window.
This is why the Mozilla vulnerability is so serious. You could fool even very experienced users. Like sysadmins who log in as root.:-)
The man, whose initials (obivously, coincidentally?) were DNA, must've been some sort of prophet. Remember, Deep Thought was the SECOND best computer. And when it came up with the answer (you all know it, admit it!), and then determined that it was the correct QUESTION that we really needed, set to work on buildng a BETTER computer. I mean, the Hitchhiker's Guide was the prototype for the World Wide Web, and Deep Thought was the ultimate self-healing--in fact self-UPGRADING--computer. Maybe he was the Second Coming or something (DNA), and just didn't realize it.
I **DID** read the article, before anyone jumps on my ass. And I read the part about the first full moon of the month occurring so close to perigee and causing a noticeable variation in the tides. But I wonder if there's a relationship between having this "extra" full moon and tidal variations.
They go for $29.99 because they suck and they're old news. Dead product.
Check out the Treo600 from PalmOne (formerly Handspring). It has a keyboard too and runs Palm OS5. Combine this with Sprint's flat-rate (10 bucks a month) high speed data, and you enter a whole new world Beave.
I don't work for PalmOne, but I have had a Treo600 since last October, and I'm here to tell you, while it doesn't replace my computers, I can run VNC on it and CONTROL every computer I use. And telnet, and SMS, and IM, and e-mail, and play cool games. And take pictures and video. And slide in a 512MB SD card. And did I mention it plays MP3s, WAVs, OGGs, **AND** Shoutcast streams? Awesome sound quality. At least as good as an iPod. And it's a kickass phone AND it fits in my freaking pocket! It rocks. You have no idea.
And I'm a "professionial." White-collar type. Not some zit-faced hip-hop kid.
Microsoft is a public company. With millions of shareholders. That is, millions of owners. You want to own a piece of it yourself, and have voting rights regarding the company's future? Go buy a block of stock.
I know I'll probably get modded down and get all kinds of bad karma for this, but I hate to see/. dominated by so much misplaced anger.
Microsoft is not just Gates and Balmer. It is a voice for a large number of people. It's this voice that gives Microsoft the power it has.
Yeah, but we (perhaps instinctively?) developed aeons ago inexpensive utilities for augmenting long-term storage. Like writing.
Short-term storage is a little more difficult to augment effectively because of the time factor. So maybe this discovery will actually drive the first brain mods. The evolutionary incentive is surely there.
Let's just hope Sony or Apple doesn't start off the race with some terribly marketed, proprietary, yet superior technology that will be forever relegated to the basement vault where they keep dinosaurs such as Betamax.

"Self-recursive?" Oh brother. The FAST acronym obviously isn't recursive, but no acronym in the universe is "self-recursive." Morons.
Is the US military really this gullible?
...Port-a-potty.
Flamebait? Predictable. Pfftph. LMAO @ koh for making me his virtual foe.

Second paragraph, first sentence: Spelling error. "Pruis."
"In the case of a compound subject, the speaker is NEVER first, but last." I'm going with this dude. Which makes you wroooooooooong!
"Me and my son?" Nooo. Really? Where's that rule? Is it in Strunk & White?
Mod it up! Informative.
My son and me. Shit.
My son (who's 8) saw the first three when he was barely 4. Loved them. Saw Raiders, etc. that same year. Just teach your kids the difference between movies and reality. Doy.

Hasn't anyone noticed that the picture of the lobster and the cricket are exactly the same? Doy.

It would be interesting if someone "in the know" could share any insight on what effect (if any) these "extra" full moons have on tides.
Treo 600 compared to Tungsten C??? Talk about apples to oranges! The Tungsten isn't anywhere NEAR being a phone. Offtopic!

It won't be the Year of the Penguin until MS replaces their kernel with Linux. And that's as likely as Larry Ellison coming out of the closet.
