Yup, doing a puzzle is not interesting at all. We should immediately burn all puzzles and brainteasers immediately. In fact, even reading a book is a waste of time. So we should burn those too. And movies, television.
Incidentally, the Automatic Update that Microsoft does is the answer to the call to make IE less exploit prone. There are lots of 'dumb people' as it's been put before who don't install service packs. Well this feature takes care of the updates as they come along. That's bad?
Let's put it this way - Service Pack 1 fscked up a lot of XP machines.
We trust them (Linux/SuSE) because the updates are probably written by someone who's actually taken the time to test the damn thing.
I'm sure there's quite a few MS employees who care about their job / doing the right thing, but the 'system' (code-writing, testing, QA) does not - it doesn't really matter a whole stack if the update fscks up a whole bunch of machines, in their view (or so it seems).
I trust Linux updates. I don't trust MS half-arsed updates.
Such complex life being far apart may be part of the anthropic principle itself: if it was too close together, then some hateful species may have already eliminated us.
And sadly, if they had not wiped us out, we would have certainly wiped them out... *Sigh*
And on a more sensible note, Win98/95 (Yes, I know people who still use Win3.1, so don't assume everyone else will have moved from '98 by the time the world changes to IPv6).

...Except for the sardonic comments et al... but... It's what we all want to say to a customer at some point or other. :)

Note: Aussie _GOVERNMENT_ = stupid.
If we started blaming Americans for Bush's actions, you'd be up in arms, wouldn't you?
Well... maybe. Hmm.
Eg. Australians... Or British-types...
Narrow-minded people strike again, eh?
Insightful? INSIGHTFUL!?
The mods are on crack again.
...do advertisements get modded +2, Informative.
As per ze subject.
'Informative' at least.
Now, if you want a positive repsonse, how 'bout coming up with a sound-canceling system inside the case? Then you'd have high tech and low heat.
What, add an amount of anti-sound equivalent to the racket the PC is making?
It's only several years old...
Silly person.
And Linux then becomes labelled as the "Terrorist's OS".
I hope Dubya isn't reading this.

At least the movies and the television. Please.
'Steel Magnolias' left me permanently scarred.
you will be able to buy a bottle of it from a Home Improvement (DIY) shop for 2 bucks...
I'm sure they'll add some sort of 'required' proprietry substance... Hence ruling out the refill-at-home idea...
(Hell, they'll probably patent the concept of adding something 'special' into something ordinary for the purposes of raking in shed-loads of cash.)

I believe you misspelled 'teh'.
Erm... I thought 486s finished at 100... And Pentiums started at about 75...
Informative? INFORMATIVE?!
You bunch of arse-hats.
No swimming, no diving, no boating, no autos, no flying, no walking, no showers.
Or runways, or re-enactments.
It's not like they're stealing your credit card numbers or anything...
But now they've got phones that buy things for you...

Fscking power-hungry human nature.
AmigaOS, insensitive clod!

Apply this Patch Disk.
Heck, I _Like_ MDIs. I don't want a single application spawning multiple windows everywhere. (Can anyone say IE?)
That's why I like Mozilla with tabs... :-P
He's being helpful, damnit.
There's a big problem with this:
The big guys will always find some way of proving 2+2=5, ie. in this case, proving they had the idea before you did.
Hence all the little people cop the fines.
Not such a great idea, anymore, eh?
Double-think double-plus-ungood.
