How about,
Q: We're taking a poll; do you intend to vote in the 2004 Presidential election?
A: Yes/No.
Q: Well, while I have you on the phone, would be interested in... ?
After all, polls are exempt.
What will make the difference is if MS writes a PPC version of DirectX. If they're writing it for Xbox2 they might as well use it as a springboard for hardware graphics acceleration in Virtual PC! And that means an API for bringing DirectX x86 games to the Mac via DirectX PPC!!
"People familiar with Microsoft's strategy say the company apparently believes it can capture a much larger share of the market if it launches its machine before Sony fields its PlayStation 3 console in 2006."
But Sony hopes to have its 'Playstation OS' for PC out before Microsoft ships Longhorn in 2006!
I got this frantic call last week: "I've got an e-mail virus."
Q: How do you know it's a virus?
A: Oh, I know the person who mailed it to me and she sent it to me on purpose.
Q: Why?
A: Well, I've never gotten a virus and I was curious what it would do, so I asked her to send it.
Q: And you weren't concerned about infecting yourself on purpose?
A: No, I'm disappointed because it didn't do anything! I think these 'viruses' are just a lot of Hooey.
Turns out she's using a Mac and couldn't understand why she wasn't decimated by launching a Windows virus on purpose!
Yes, they work fine in most tray-load CD-ROM drives, and not in slot loads. I just remember people having a hard time with them 10 years ago. Maybe the consumer drives just weren't as hardy then?
More of an early 90's thing. 3" CD Singles. People had trouble getting them to play in non-portable CD players, and the labels didn't like them b/c they cost just as much to make as regular 5" CDs. You could buy an adaptor to make them 5"-like but they didn't work especially well and tended to come off and jam up the players.
I was actually trying to explain away the discrepancy. Did I win a Marvel No-Prize?
Refer as necessary to ST:TNG "Up The Long Ladder".
Maybe the Mariposans and the Kaminoans use compatible technology.
But how come they come in different height/proportion? Genetic 'fuzziness' after too many copies!?
Maybe the Kaminoans are destroyed and the Republic has to start impressing men [sic] into Stormtrooper duty.
Can I get Microsoft to act as an expert witness and testify that some system patches are incompatible or mutually exclusive of others? You're gonna' get got one way or another.

Let's hope that North Korea doesn't buy it to tunnel under the DMZ... again.

This experiment brought to you by Real Software and requires Real One Super Pass .

Well, 2006-ish...
I forgot the < sarcasm > tags.
I know people who could never get Adobe to provide customer support for their copies of Premiere for Mac 5 thru 6.5.
The announcement that Adobe was dropping the pretense of support with version 7 did not come as a huge shock.
Yes, Adobe stopped supporting Premiere on the Mac with version 5. But, it didn't make headlines until version 7.
So can I imagine a Beowulf cluster of Space Shuttles?

Maybe they're from different upgrade cycles. Every size/shape of Stormtrooper represents the lowest-bid clone from each particular manufacturer.

When I read "Hordes of the Underdark in Stores" I thought it was about 'Switchers' invading the Apple Stores on Black Friday.

Oh, never mind!
Always blame it on the guy who doesn't speak English.
And, do the voting machines use ECC RAM?
He is only selling the books to people who are capable of 'region-free' reading. Those who can only read Region 1 books are out of luck!
