What about Fermats last theorem? Fermat wrote in the margin of his note book that he had a proof, but it was too large to fit there, so he'll write it on the next page. Trouble was, the next page was missing from the book.
Did Fermat have a sense of humor? At work I often say "yeah, I'll get right on that" when there's a task that I don't even plan to attempt...
"If bloggers wish to be afforded the privileges and protections held by mainstream journalists (the ones not named Jayson Blair or Mary Mapes), they should follow the same ethical standards."

Giorgio Moroder reigns Lord and inventor of electronic music. His pop-flavor made some think the man is Satan himself, but it was groundbreaking nonetheless.
That's because Patrick Stewart is a decent actor and can actually play characters other than Captian Picard. The few times I've seen Leonard Nimoy in roles other than Spock I identified him as spock just as much because he acted like spock as because he looks like him.
And don't forget William Shatner. He was really.... um... really, really something.

Botton line is Apple never made an effort like MS did in courting Fortune 1000 companies during the 90's.
And unfortunately, those corporate workers all have kids in school. They lobby their towns to buy PCs that will 'prepare their kids' for work. I know someone who deals with this, and he's always being confronted by parents who are angry that the school system just bought another Mac lab.

"Corporate America is hesitant of buying Apple products because they cost too darn much."
Doubling the size of your IT department in order to deal with technical problems is MORE expensive...
Which, many believe, is exactly the conspiracy that IT pushes on management. Bad computers justify their very jobs.
Regarding those traits... on some level I can replace the word "cult" with "myself" (except for #5, though I'm not against having enemies). Am I a bad person?
Maybe c isn't necessarily variable, but affected by things we haven't observed yet. Pioneer speeding up as it leaves the solar system may indicate c is faster than we think -- that would be great for possible interstellar travel!
What's the mystery of Navier-Stokes equations? Since they are apparently based on physical properties, are they not 'synthetic' in a similar way that Perfect Gas equation(s) are just an ad hoc tool in physical chemistry -- not some profound mathematical statement by themselves?
They are not just doing it to computer users, but also to web designers who use script generators. The source will often produce an ad at the bottom of the code that appears on people's website.
It might not be just a good idea, but necessary for long term missions. The thing's going to be covered with slime and barnacles after just a few months. I wonder if they've thought of that.

Excellent news for their competition, who are willing to switch and could eventually put Intel out of business.
Thives to know what it means to steal from people's state property. (= catastrophy)
Fantastic protection against attack from nuclear-incineration holocaust.

Why don't they add a digital clock.... That's the classic way to needlessly re-invent something.

Yes, please come vandalize my property. I want gang symbols and political statements on my home or dream-business.
Instead kids prefer to download crappy songs in massive parallel groups.

How would you like those to call you "the white editor of Slashdot"? You do not like Indian people, I believe.

If it's your own home, you could stand there fully nude, and maybe they won't stay very long.
I won't watch Metropolis, or any silent movie, unless Giorgio Moroder has gotten to it first.

There are some really great ideas being modded down here, simply because the moderator detected a political view (both left and right).
