    I'm sure Microsoft is involved...

    Microsoft IS involved.

  2. Re:*Not* locked into a platform on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1
    If I had an Intel/AMD box, I'd be more locked into a platform than with my Mac.

    Not if you have a G5, which can't run VirtualPC.

    In fact, Virtual PC allows me to run multiple x86 operating systems (say, Win '98, Win XP, OpenStep, and QNX) simultaneously with each other, too.

    Of course, there's no guarantee that it will stay that way, as VirtualPC is owned by Microsoft.

    I can run Windows apps on my Mac, but you can't run Mac apps on your PC.

    The Mac applications that I want to run are also available for PC.

    Who cared if Robt's voice broke on occasion...

    Amazingly, it didn't on How the West was Won, where Immigrant Song was perfect.

    That's actually not so far from the truth:
    • In the comic strip her main weakness is that if a man ties her up, he can make her do anything.
    • Some of the early comics had her tied up and being spanked.
    • The creator had two wives, one of which always wore metal bracelets.
    Saw it on the History channel of all places.

    Ack, it's not going to be even mildly amusing after I explain it. It was a joke based on the content of the link mentioned in your signature (Yeah, I actually went out and read it, and yes, now I understand why I lose at CS all the time - it's not because I suck at CS, it's because of CHEATERS). I figured you were being sarcastic about having to read so many unoriginal, offtopic SCO comments (i.e. whining), so I posted an off key remark that was tied to your sig. See? Not funny.

    I mean, even native americans survived Star Trek times, like captain Tatanka from Voyager.

    Yeesh, that was pretty obscure, but I thought it was mildly funny.

    Tatanka is apparently the English spelling of the word the Lakhota Souix use for "bull buffalo".

    The character from Voyager is Commander Chakotay

    There doesn't appear to be any definitive proof either way.
