Jefferson has been dead for 200 years. People may disagree with patent law, but there's not historical basis to assume Jefferson would have objected to this practice in the IT industry. Save the Ouije board for parties, and stop imposing your opinions on people who've been dead for a century or more.
Why invest all that in Windows? Because the majority uses Windows? That's great rational. Market share, bug fixes, and lots of money invested don't make an OS great.
I always laugh when someone attacks the opposite side of the political aisle by calling them "Sith Lords" or "Darth Whatever." It has to be the most ineffective way to demonize an opponent, because Darth Vader is infinitely cooler than any light side Jedi. Admit it! Now! Feel your throat tightening yet?
But I like installing my OWN updates. I don't care if it's not malware; if it takes the choice out of my hands it's bad news. Keep your paws of my machine, thank you.
Trust me, buddy. No one is a da Vinci here. I love it when someone takes an example of a genius in art or science (or both) and compares it to themselves.
What I do like about Froogle is that their product listing is more inclusive than those of Price Grabber or Pricewatch. It does not matter for those of you (all of you?) just shopping for the lastest, greatest 64-bit, digitial video playing, wireless whatever, but look for a mountain bike or something else that requires you being outside and you'll be better off with Froogle, for example. The interface criticism is valid, though.
I thought that was a great idea, too, until you brought in the Star Trek: 911 garbage. That comment was so stupid I'm going to volunteer for the Bush campaign in your name.
I don't know about you, but I don't trust these geek people whoever they are. And the stuff they write and read on the internet! Oh, awful. Don't trust them, I tell you!
Some critics of Wrath of Khan object to the big, sweaping battleship-like movements of the Enterprise and Reliant as not reflecting "real spacetravel." Whether this is true or not, I think it makes for some great filmmaking. I, for one, still find that movie suspenseful after seeing it countless times. Those battles are awesome.
I heard somewhere (maybe here) that most IT Professionals rate going without the Internet as worse than going through a divorce. Hearing that, I wouldn't trust any IT person's estimate of their own happiness. I hated IT, thought it sucked, quit, and got another job. Six months later, I was back. It can be pretty crappy, but I think people don't realize how good they have it.
That said, it is a pretty catty profession.
Yeah, I'll let you power your laptop with those. My sperm are already subjected to enough from my 12" Powerbook--I'd have to trade my fire retardant boxers from some lead tighty whities...

I think you're right! My mistake. :-P
The article and /. responses is very interesting. Wish I could mod the whole thread up.
He contested that you only need "three cords, two fingers, and one asshole" to make a hit song.
Ha! Excellent! Rick Moranis is the anti-Vader for sure, and probably closer to what we'd get with MPs and congressmen alike as Jedi and Sith.

There were times when Jobs used PC machines, too. Shows these two guys don't buy into their own marketing just as IT people should not.

If Google wants to hock more ads, it's a good business idea. But, and I'm sure this is redundant, don't we all want fewer protocols already...

The new white meat in the McNuggets is penguin.
Why am I not surprised? haha

No mod points here, so all I can give you is MAD PROPS BROTHER!!!!!!
Good non-bastard teachers. That's all you need.

DARPA has announced new red shirts for test pilots of the X-50A Dragonfly (good for one episode only).
Well, at least, we'll be ready for the squidies this time and we won't have to deal with the horror that was Matrix Revolutions.
