You: What the hell... fortunately I just finished in time my presentation...

*putting cursor on confirmation to overwrite*
Do you want to reboot now? * clicking on yes on the new popup*
Oops I'm away from my desk for five minutes.
Come back. WHere's all my stuff! You: NOOOOOO !
Torrellas believes this would give chips a shorter time to market, saying "If they know that they could fix the problems later on, they could beat the competition to market.""
Wow if software recently released was not already bad (including drivers), now gaming support boards threads will look like:
HELP!!!

While I am quite happy to see freedom of speech win, I found this article, and was shocked by this part:
From MTV News:
One of the students named in the suit, Justin Layshock, 19, allegedly created an account in Trosch's name, in which he's described as "a big steroid freak" and "too drunk to remember" his birthday. The profile also suggested that Trosch smoked marijuana and kept a keg of beer behind his desk.
A different profile, created by student Thomas Cooper, also claimed Trosch was a fan of pornography, while a third, the work of brothers Brendan and Christopher Gebhart, depicted more graphic activities.
The fake profiles "went far and beyond what you would see on a bathroom wall in a school," Trosch's lawyer, John E. Quinn, told the AP. He added that the person behind a fourth MySpace profile, which he called "the most graphic and lurid of them all," has not yet been identified, but would be a party to the action if and when the person is.
Although I am for freedom of speech, this looks more like diffamation, I am sure that the myspace page about this girl has nothing to do with this case.
Although it is not related, I was wondering if you would agree that creating such a fake page could be categorized as diffamation and should be condemned, which is what Zonk is saying at the top of this page.
Here you go, you will start with teens, then you could also consider black and hispanics and start arguing about all the differences there are between them and others, continue on old people (come on we even pay taxes for them !!!) and even finish on women (maternity leave ?)...
I would not rather live in your "ideal" democracy.
While browsing some game reviews I found a link to this. When I read it, I found it pretty shocking, basically the guy was banned because he was pressing a macro on his keyboard with his fingers while watching TV.
I have no idea if this is true but at that time I was pretty sad for the guy. On the other hand, he lost the WoW addiction.:)
The most funny part is that he could have avoided the ban if he didn't say he was watching TV while pressing the keys of his G15...
I guess that the guy who will buy it has already a Ferrari Testarossa, an Aston Martin Vanguard, and all the models from the Porsche 911 and is buying the company your are working for just because he was pissed after reading your comment...
You imagine the amount of work to provide that ? It is not free, I guess you just have to bash MS and ignore economic/financial issues to get modded up on/. anyway.
I am sorry but I do not know many companies who provide all the interoperabilities documentation for free, UNLESS IT SERVED THEIR INTERESTS
By curiosity what would be the equivalent on MacOS ? Has it been done ? (and I am not speaking about kernel specs, but actual useful specs to develop useful applications)
I would rather read another story about securities problems with cursors in Windows or a story about how a 1337 h4ck3r can hack vista booting on an external CD and having physical access to the computer or again another story about the 38904309th person sued by the RIAA.
(smile... I am not serious)
Well I am sure that I didn't see it in the firehose, it is very interesting actually...
I do understand (before you explained) but do not agree. I am more in favor of a "do not be unnecessary cruel but do what you need to survive" point of view as after all it's not like if they have a level of conciousness to see that we are organized in clans/countries/... etc, so if we are nice or not with them is more a self decision from us to meet some "moral standards".
How do you define what is the minimum requirement for intelligence ? Being able to be concious of yourself ? Ability to learn ? If some species appear from another galaxy and are more intelligent than us, and their baseline of intelligence is far above what we are capable of, they would be right in wiping us out ?
I have difficulties to see a link between intelligence and rights, however if I could understand that some people would see a link between ability to have pain and rights.
Wow you got modded positively while defending MS, you might try to bash alit bit Linux the next time to check if we are assisting in a shift in/. base.
I often put diagrams made with Visio inside my presentations.
It also helps to understand yourself the point you are making, people usually react more at a picture or a diagram than just bullet points. I also do this because I am not a great speaker so it helps other peeps to just get my point.
The ideal media would be a mix of Powerpoint Visio and Flash (Flash is too complicated to use to do just presentations), and I am not speaking about making funny transitions between slides (for Flash).

20$ ??? When I can get a delayed version for free by reading the descriptions of this website
Um I can't imagine how much success I will have with girls waking up with that T-Shirt, going to shower with that soap driving this car ...

*Laughing my ass Hoff*
Ok I got you, they HAVE to provide it for free because it is the EU way to fine them ...
Because god's best gift was free will.
... at least that's what they say.

I noticed that there is a correlation between the number of Negationists, the Tomatotarians, and Global Warming.

Have you seen British people complain aside from rants in the newspapers ? ... I know because I live in London ...

Only 1 and 3 are quite possible for tech savyy kids (and 2 to a certain extent)
Nah I didn't miss it, he said alot of true things about XBox Live! and Visual Studio ...
