Yo, Donkey Kong, you're a really cool game, Imma let you finish, but NiGHTS: Into Dreams is one of the best games of all time. One of the best games of all time!
It indeed reminds me of my grandfather when he had terminal cancer. But actually, one can live with a body like that: it's called polio. Ever heard of the Goddess Bunny?
Reminds me of a time when I did a wipe-and-reload on a friend's computer:
- First thing, did you save your stuff? - I have all my documents in this pen drive. - Okay.*wipes and reinstalls* There you go. - Hey, where are the cool wallpapers I had before? - Must be... *checks the pen drive*...wait, didn't you say you had saved all your stuff? - No, I said I had saved my DOCUMENTS!
See, to her, "documents" implied Word/Excel/Powerpoint files. You know, "documents" in the sense of work-related paperwork -- not pictures, videos, music, or anything else.
Would you buy a car that didn't have a steering wheel?
Who knows... I read in some old encyclopedia that, back in the 60s, car makers were experimenting with joysticks. "Oh, a car with a jet fighter's interface, isn't that cool?" Then, I suppose, someone tested the usability of those things.
True story here: dad's computer had OpenOffice, not MS Office. My sister's experience with OpenOffice's Impress was terrible: she needed to print all slides from a.ppt file, and couldn't find this option. As she had a tight deadline, and I had nearly zero experience with presentation software anyway, I shrugged and installed MS Office. She ran Powerpoint and found her way very easily.
Just a bit later, I tried to find out how one prints all slides from a presentation.
Guess what? It's done EXACTLY the same way in Impress and Powerpoint. Same function, same name, same location. See, this is not a "Photoshop versus Gimp" style comparison; interface-wise, they were nearly identical (that was before the "ribbon" thing). If she found her way in Powerpoint, she should have found her way in Impress. Yet, she somehow panicked with the new program.
What can a developer do about users that won't even TRY?!

Oh, forgot to say. Northeast Brazil. $183/month for the 8MB connection.
I get 250k, and the fastest (and most insanely expensive) ADSL plan here is 8MB.
Well let me ask you one question: Is your money that good? Oh, will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
I think you will find, when your death takes its toll: All the money you made will never buy back your soul.
And I hope that you die - and your death will come soon - I'll follow your casket by the pale afternoon...
And I'll watch while you're lowered, down to your deathbed. And I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're dead.
Hell no, quite the opposite - I tend to think "intellectual property" is a massive scam to be abolished.
That line is ripped from John Carpenter's They Live, and some others are taken from Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. Homage or plagiarism? You decide.
It certainly is, under a different name.
I recall that, and I always found it weird. It's like they didn't really care about OS/2's success.
It's princess Leia, dummy.
Because it's the people that pay for any free stuff anyway.
Non-ASCII characters do not belong in an URL.
Your numbers for temperature are invalid, because Fahrenheit does not start on absolute zero. Try Kelvin instead.
60 F = 288.71 K.
Multiply that by 8, you get 2309.68 K.
So, 8 times hotter than 60 F is actually... 3697.8 F.
So, the head of the division...
*puts on sunglasses*
...delivered a KILLER one-liner.
*sound effect: YEEAAAAH*

But you can advertise the "all new 2112 Camero". This way, it is not an ad for a car, but for a whole brand.

Nowadays, they use the Candlejack joke. Whether that is more fun or less fun, it's up t

On a Mac, that closes the window, but the application is still running.

No religion in classes, damnit!
Imagine this device playing Lil Wayne's "A Milli"... *shudders*
If they successfully keep a secret... how would you know of it?
