Enough moving 0.27 meters at a time and staring at rocks. There's nothing left to do that hasn't been done in that department. It's time for something new.
Let's have the rovers meet up and let the operators play a game of Martian chicken.
In The Godfather, when you want to send a message, you drop a severed horse-head in your target's bed.
In the modern software world, you file an otherwise useless botanical patent that bears a strong iconic resemblance to your competitor. It's a corporate-geek threat.
Miguel de Icaza said the following: If Microsoft decided to make our life really hard in terms of compatibility, it would also hurt its own customers.
Why does Miguel assume this would prevent Microsoft from doing that? Bill Gates worries about many things, but customer satisfaction is not one of them.
Tips for practitioners appearing before Judge Kimball include: # At oral argument, know the cases that you cited in your briefs. # Behave responsibly and civilly to witnesses, the court, and opposing counsel. # Don't try to stretch your position. If you have weakness, admit to the weakness, and try to persuade the Judge that you should win anyway. # Brevity is appreciated and highly effective as a tool of advocacy. This applies both in briefs and oral arguments. # If you have a bad argument, leave it out of your brief and your oral argument. Making bad arguments hurts your credibility with the Court.
The betting line on this case is 23 counts of contempt of court, before the case gets summarily dismissed and the plantiffs ejected with significant velocity.
How can one possibly underrate the quality of a user interface and shell where the command to shut down an interface is 'shut' while the command to start it back up again is 'no shut'.
The web-form system appears to be a bit overloaded at the moment.
You know, it's only a matter of time before Slashdot is categorized as a weapon of mass destruction. Linking like this is just asking for a liberation.
Plasma TV prices are dictated by supply and demand curves, because there are companies competing for market share. Right now, Plasma TV's are in fairly limited supply due to being a new technology. If they dropped the average 42" to $1000, they wouldn't be able to supply demand. (And they'd likely lose a lot of money because of the imbalance.) The hope is, that at the prices set, supply is roughly equal to demand. (I understand the point you're making about early adopters, middle tier, and value purchasers... but that can only be a factor when manfacturers are colluding in some way.)
Music companies have a mononopoly on each CD, so the principles do not apply. The music company creates an artificial price-point way above the cost of producing the CD. (The companies will argue they need to do this to offset all the bad CDs they try to sell. I think they should consider that statement a little more carefully, however.)

Yes. While trying to get into your machine, I discovered that you are not using the legally mandated blank password. I have reported you to the proper authorities.

If you don't want viruses, run Linux!
Yeeeeeeaaaaahhh!!!!
It's been suggested many times, but it may now be required... euthanizing AOL users.

Sure. Keep them out of Al Gore's utility closet and we're fine.
I don't know, but you can get it from a spammer for like, a hundred bucks.
"Linux is a leprosy"
I thought Linux was a cancer? Apparently the medicinal sciences are still in their infancy.

Or, in this case, like taking a crappy romance novel and translating it into Klingon.
Now, Mr. RIAA-Stooge-Congressmoron, who is really exploiting the children? P2P networks? Or the RIAA itself? Get thee back to 1984.

Your honor, I downloaded the file, but I did not decompress.
I don't think this will help banks very much.
It just gives Slammer/Bugbear/etc. a faster and cooler (but not at the same time) means of propagation.
Are you sure that's not the A-team theme?
Uhmmmmmmm....

The point is, these situations are nothing alike.
