This fact actually hurts them in more ways than just making their numbers appear lower. For years, this has given the company a bad name with kids. Most high school kids either have or know someone who has a fairly recent PC at home so when they come to school and see ancient Apple hardware they get the impression that Macs just can't compete. This led to Apple having a very uncool image for a long time.
Kim Jong Il is also planning a Deep Impact mission which will utilize a nuclear missile to find out what Tokyo would look like if it were struck by a nuclear missile.
Actually, the primary use of a phone is to send and receive text messages. Now that flat rate internet access is getting reasonable, that will soon be the secondary use and since it will be moving into the #2 position from dead last, I guess everything else will be moving down. That should put "making phone calls" around 5 or 6.
Of course it could just be me. I really hate talking on the fucking phone. And it costs too much in Japan anyway.
What are you talking about? Just about all I ever do is watch cartoons and have sex or have sex and watch cartoons or have sex while watching cartoons and I have no intention of changing my lifestyle just because I'm turning twelve next month.
Do you have some proof that Hitler was born evil? Do you know enough about his upbrining to completely rule out the possibility that his worldview was brought on by exposure to various stimuli outside of his own control?
If you do, then I'd also like to hear your definition of the word "evil" because I'm not satisfied with any of the ones I've heard up until now. Can evil be defined in any completely objective way? I've never known it to be used in a way that is not ego-centric, ethno-centric, or human-centric.
Well there's a misspelling in there somewhere. Basically, you have to look at "6-monthly" as a compound adverb formed from the compound adjective, "6-month" as in "a 6-month release cycle." If you don't have that hyphen, you've got the noun phrase "6 months" but that requires the plural form as in "every 6 months."
Then again we could have all been spared this stupid grammar crap if the original post had just used some form of "bi-annual" instead. (I don't know if I need the hyphen in that case but it looks better with it than without.)
Well, you know... It's really hard to parade fiction around as fact without omitting really important details like that. So cut the Bible thumpers a little slack, they have a tough job.
Actually, it's Zeus who is best known for throwing lightning bolts. Thor was the God of thunder (and lightning?) but he relied more on physical strength and a few magical items to win his battles.
This point has been run into the ground by now but I guess some people still don't get it. If you started with 10.0, you have to pay $130 to get to this point. No one is forced to upgrade. If you don't consider the enhancements being offered to be worth the cost, don't upgrade. Panther will work just as well tomorrow as it did yesterday.
IF anyone considers tomorrow a special day at all, it's probably because it's Friday, or because "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie opens, or because it's Uma Thurman's birthday.
It's also the birthday of former Japanese Emperor Hirohito, now known as "Midori no Hi" or "Green Day" (no relation to the band). It's an important national holiday as it kicks off "Golden Week," which consists of three other national holidays including Japan's national day and Boy's Day. So, if you were thinking of visiting an Onsen or going to Izu Peninsula this week, you should rethink your plan. Those kinds of places will be really crowded but downtown Tokyo should be nearly vacant. Except, of course, the crowd that should be gathering around the Apple Store in Ginza.
That line about "God does not play dice with the Universe" was essencially a figure of speech to illustrate his opposition to QUANTUM Theory not Chaos Theory.
OK, I can't let this stand. Like every other Christrian ever involved in this debate, you're quick to point out that science is based on theories and therefore can't be trusted but you randomly call things facts without any evidence at all. You say it's a fact "He" gave humans free will. First of all, you need to prove that we have free will. That "I think therefore I am" stuff isn't going to cut it. Show me the origin of a thought. Prove that my brain can create it out of nothing. Next, you have to prove to that this ability was given to us by "He." Good luck with that part.
I've never heard of this "Einstien" character you mentioned but if you meant "Einstein" then you're just guilty of dragging his name into a debate where it doesn't belong and assigning him beliefs he didn't necessarily have.
I'm not saying he didn't believe in any kind of god-thing at all, but I can assure you that whatever he believed in, it was nothing like the "Sim-City" god you're talking about.
How does that make sense anyway? If god is supposed to be all knowing, shouldn't he know the outcome and every detail from now till then already? Thus the pointlessness of doing anything...
Any of them, I guess. I think the point was that you'd be able to make a hard drive that packed in neatly behind the lcd. If it's thin enough it could cause quite a revolution in the design of all the devices you mentioned. Of course, I didn't RTFA so I could be way off but that was my impression.
The article suggests that no other convergence products besides the clock radio have ever been very successful but I think they're forgetting that the fax machine is just a waffle iron with a phone attached.
Because of things like the "so bad it's good" factor and budget issues and just movies that were never supposed to be anything but trash from the beginning, it's useful to put some kind of constraints on this kind of discussion. It should be something like "what's the worst movie released by a major studio into theaters in the past 20 years that wasn't just marketed as a vehicle for some fad (Masters of the Universe the Movie) or short lived celebrity (Cool as Ice)?" Maybe to make it a little harder, add "not produced by Centropolis."
It's a tough decision but I'm going to go with Very Bad Things. That movie was complete shit.

Wrong. The past participle of "have" is "had." Your third line should read "if they had had" your fourth should read "if they'd had"
"had've"? WTF?

I'd imagine (maybe hope?) that a lot of americans are starting to think this way.

Just in case you were interested.
That a major vendor will release an important piece of software on some future date is newsworthy.
That Microsoft actually shipped something when they said they would is also newsworthy.
Wrong Wrong Wrong.

This was modded "redundant?" So a lot of other people have already mentioned that they have iWork in their pants?
Also, what's with that "an?"
Only on Slashdot would the explanation to "non-geeks" come in the form of a Star Trek analogy.
Slashdot has gotten really slopppy. Wasn't this story supposed to be posted 15 years ago?

I offer this review as a counter to yours.
