... we're not even three full months into 2007 and already the RIAA has collected this award for all of 2007. Microsoft, the runner up, just threw in the towel (or chair) stating, "These guys are way out of our league. We just can't compete with their level of wickedness."
What is eternity? You're on the checkout line at a supermarket. There are seven people in front of you. They are all old. They all have two carts and coupons for every item. They are all paying by check. None of them have ID. It's the checkout girl's first day on the job. She doesn't speak any English. Take away fifteen minutes from that, and you begin to get an idea of what eternity is.
I CAN force Microsoft to reveal all information they hold about me, after I pay an admin fee of around £10 and it'll cost them far more than that to provide it.
Dear Mr. dcc,
We have received your request for any information Microsoft may have on you. I have thoroughly reviewed our database (these past 5 minutes) and found that Microsoft has no information on you. Thank you for paying the £10 administration fee. Additional thanks for paying via your personal credit card. It'll come in handy. Sincerely,
Microsoft Support
Seriously though, if MS continues to violate/ignore EU/UK laws now, what could you do if the aforementioned scenario happened? I mean, I'd think burden of proof would be on you, how could you force MS to prove that it has something it claims it doesn't have?
No Shit! It's already happening. Once I got a stand-alone DVD that plays DivX, I can now watch all those movies I DL'ed without converting them into a DVD format first. I simply burn the.avi files directly to a DVD and away I go. Isn't that revolutionary???
Angels have lots of grace, so I guess Aydin is trying to get some of that. Unless he's interested in snow angels, which are ridiculously cheap to manufacture and require only snowfall, a few seconds and a cold/wet backside. Problem is that the ROI is about zero.
...that Dr Anderson must have read "The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved". He got tipped off about the book by the front page of/. where the review has been prominently displayed for the past, oh, 3 years. This book review will disappear and be permanently replaced by "I Was A Computer Geek Up To His Pits In Babes" once I finish writing it. Only problem I'm having is figuring out how to be a computer geek up to my pits in babes. Makes that whole "division by zero" thing appear to be trivial.
I'm sure that your and your friends' insecurity and anger issues can be helped with some group therapy. Here at BallMer, Inc. we encourage our clients to vent their anger by throwing chairs at one another. For that not so secure feeling, we recommend applying a patch on the second Tuesday of each month.
DISCLAIMER: BallMer, Inc. is not responsible for any injuries incurred during its anger therapy. Furthermore, clients are advised that patches merely provide a "sense of security" without actually doing so; a placebo, if you will. Comments, complaints and other concerns may be addressed by speaking to the nearest wall.
Gentoo doesn't ask what it can do to make things easier, it asks you exactly what it is that you want it to do, and then does precisely and only that.
I know how you feel, dude. Imagine my surprise when I typed in "hax0r teh internet" and I got some silly error. Would you believe that this is not just on Gentoo but on all Linux distros? Windows and OS X respond in a similar fashion. Why can't I just type something like "get me a brew from da fridge" and have the computer do it? Why am I paying so much money for all these megabytes and gigahertzes if it can't figure out something so simple to me?
I intend to counter the Global Warming Fighting CPU by installing the latest release of Gentoo....Stage 1 install.....with KDE and OpenOffice, among other packages compiled from source.
"Enter MythTV, a grand unification of personal digital video recording and home theatre technology, and a magnum opus of modular design, freedom of expression and personal entertainment.'"
I'm sorry that would not be MythTV, it would be GRUPDVRHTT or GRUP for short. Not that long, unpronounceable names have ever stopped OSS project developers from using them before.
This use of the "Jedi Mind Trick" reminds me of the old Eddie Murphy skit which, coincidentally, also mentioned Mr. T. IIRC it's along the lines of:
Mr. T: Eddie, what's this I hear of you talking shit about me?
Eddie Murphy: Naw, T. I haven't been talking shit about you.
Mr. T: Hmmm, well, I guess you haven't.

Well, I'm guessing all of the the characters are dead already. After all, the movies did take place "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away."

Do you know how long I've been waiting to see highly defined zits and cigarette burns on the actresses' asses?

That's nothing. I have a self-cleaning dog. A friend of mine watched my dog clean himself and said, "Man, I wish I could do that."
I told him, "You better pet him first; he might bite."

As I read TFA, it suddenly dawned upon me: I had never seen this story before!
The dog is on fire.
