I remember going to a Best Buy the day before the XBox 360 was released. There were about 15 people camped out in sleeping bags and anything to keep them warm through a cold November Minnesota night. I swear, you can save hundreds of dollars and the risk of hypothermia if you can just wait a few weeks.
I used to work for a Help Desk for a large military contractor. When people locked their account or needed a password reset, we had to ask for the last four digits of their SSN to verify their identity. For the most part that worked fine, and nobody complained. However, someone in HR decided that we cannot get the SSNs of any contractors that we hired so for the last four digits field, they put the last four digits of their badge number. They forgot to tell us that, and we had lots of contractors who had to physically go to the security office and verify their identity because they fat-fingered their password.
This also caused problems, as HR's software required the last four digits to be unique, which pretty much limited us to 10,000 contractors ever.
I heard that to avoid lawsuits around people burning the tops of their legs on a hot laptop, the manufacturers are trying to shift towards the use of the word "notebook". Just in time, too. I wouldn't want that thing next to my... cell phone.
has anyone had good success with Pages, or the iWork suite for that matter? I have been reluctant to give it a try for the lack of a spreadsheet program, but the rumor mills say that's coming soon.
Or they will continually rotate. If we could harness this power, we would have a perpetual motion machine, and we could give the cats and the buttered toast a rest.
if anyone knows and cares about reliability it's Microsoft
I would say the majority of slashdotters know and care about sex, but they aren't really experts on the subject.

In Soviet Russia, the moon becomes you!
am on pins and needles while I'm holding my breath
That usually mean's you're holding your breath too long...
Drink 3 Jolts and go right to sleep
That means you drink Jolt for the taste?
Nuclear Powered Laptops?

I am sure there are lots of people like that out there, just that us geeks are not aways aware of them.
Next you're going to tell us about that "Sun" thing again!
And at least my shiny new (1 year old) power book doesn't quite feel outdated just yet ...
Wait for it... wait for it... Ok, now it's outdated.
It takes less and less time these days.
I had a sneak peak once in high school. Very embarrasing.
Does this mean I don't have to have my SecurID with me to log into the VPN at work?
I love playing Diablo II with one of those, but I got bored because all she does it shoot arrows at stuff. Oh, Borazon... Nevermind.
Couldn't you use this projection technology to make a REAL (at least looking) light saber??
As long as you don't want to move the lightsaber, then yes.
Ok, we'll inch you instead.
I was furlonged once. That wasn't pleasant.
If Starbucks gives me a free lifetime supply of coffee, do I owe them 20% of $infinity?
we all should know that 20% of $Infinity is $NaN...

Why Atlanta?
My guess is that it's close to the Coke Museum. Coding up 10.4.1 probably took a few coke-filled nights...
At first glance I read the title as:
