Computer ownership doesn't automatically transform uneducated people into collegiates. Especially without network connectivity. This guy has a good point, albeit cynically written.
The great 10-day MCI/Worldcom Frame Relay outage of 1999, caused by MCI engineers who implemented an upgrade, which the Worldcom engineers (whom they replaced) felt needed further testing.
And, unless you believe in democracy wand-wielding fairies with glittery sprinkles of honesty, it really doesn't matter how you vote, because the Diebold corporation is the only constituency a person has to convince these days.
Guess you missed the menu system on the NASA aerial photography app.
If each of your fingers is a mouse, what would prevent you from, say, putting one of your meaty pokers on a drive, file folder, or individual file? What if Nautilus gave you the ability to grab and zoom into files of any type, or move them around, similarly to how he was manipulating the photos?
Thing is, I couldn't see myself standing up all day at work flailing my arms around for 8 hours; the touch-sensitive surface would have to be quite a bit smaller to not require too much wide, repetitive motion throughout the day.
The new interface would be awesome for full-screen video viewing, but it would be nice to maintain a click wheel design for listening to music. The new UI requires 2 hands, unless you have huge hands with telescoping fingers.
The only things on YouTube worth watching are "did you see that last night" clips that co-workers will inform you of (gone), kids blowing up Coke bottles with Mentos, the odd decent music video (I'm sure those will be removed next), people doing stupid things with the Mortal Kombat theme song, Lisa Nova, Nobody's Watching (ok, these are usually pretty good), those other two guys who did the Mother's Day picture skit, key bumping (I'm sure someone will shut that down too), emo narcissists with webcams (please, someone find a reason to shut these kids down), movie clips (gone, for the most part), LARPing (see emos), home videos that have no context outside of someone's family, and soft porn.
Countdown to implosion......3...2...what? The content providers have awakened?...sike 1
*SCHLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP* (that's the sound a website makes when it goes to domain squatter heaven)
So, who is Fluendo, and how are they paying for codec licensing? This looks like, on its face, something that WILL end up costing money or go away if it doesn't get money somehow.
Let's see, a bunch of guys puts together a database of known spammers, which people then use for RBLs. This is quite unfair to the spammers! Anyone with at least a peanut in the noggin should have called bullshit on the lawsuit before it even got legs.
I've noticed it too. There are songs in my MP3 collection that I'm not very fond of that I hear quite a bit of, and many that I like that I never hear on shuffle.
I think IM clients should have a "child" mode, where a parental password or crypto key has to be provided in order to add "buddies", and no communication is allowed except from accepted buddies.

But...but...your ATM machines are made by Diebold and they're fine, right? RIIIIGHT?

Wish I had some points to give your post. Solid close. A+++++++++
I hope they didn't count the sites that mirror Wikipedia's content as their own (answers.com I think it is that is notorious).

Guess I should have just called them "narcissists" instead of "apathetic teens".

Keep up the good work, phishers!
The secrets of apathetic teens will soon be aired for the world to view!
Semantics: the universal trump card!
The too-lazy-to-put-a-loopback-cable-on-their-soundcar d teenagers with too much time on their hands.

Oh, you're just a "technoanarchist". Easy to marginalize and write off.
"loose collection of technoanarchists"
Why do I keep hearing FUD like this lately regarding OSS?
So, who is Fluendo, and how are they paying for codec licensing? This looks like, on its face, something that WILL end up costing money or go away if it doesn't get money somehow.
Then they would have had to test FF2.0 before mastering FC6 ISOs with it available, so it wouldn't have been 1 more day.
Would it matter if they did? It's a private company, no? They can do whatever they please.
Since when was the government involved in private options regarding email blacklisting? Did I miss the memo?

I-ras-rob-bai youuuuutoooob.
You put a phone in a 60GB iPod, and I'll hand over $500 for it. Nuff said.
So WoW doesn't wholly consume your life if you have an obscure set of life circumstances. Who'd have thunk it?
I've noticed it too. There are songs in my MP3 collection that I'm not very fond of that I hear quite a bit of, and many that I like that I never hear on shuffle.
Nebuchadnezzar!
The real power of the Amiga 500 was realized in The King of Chicago!
Now no one can say you're do-nothing, just do-nothing-smart. Thanks for wasting the money we all pay you for making these idiotic decisions.
