I had a job once where they gave me a desk and a chair with a pair of handcuffs locked to it. Apparently, they had to literally chain the last guy to the chair to get any work out of him but they had long since lost the key.
I had nothing to do for a day or two so, using a paperclip, I was able to master the technique of unlocking it.
Now if I ever get arrested and handcuffed (and happen to have a paperclip in my hand) I'll be ready.

Same here. I wouldn't use it even if they came out with a Linux version. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't use it if it were free or even paid me for every song I downloaded.

Just go to the Mandrake website http://www.mandrakelinux.com/ and click on download. It looks like anyone can go right to one of the download mirrors. However, as of right now, the only mirrors are European servers.

Not if he was a robot. Why not? Data developed one so that proves it could happen.
They should advertise the losing show in advance. I predict that viewership for that show will be comparable with the superbowl.

And then what? Are you making a broad assumption that everyone is running Windows?

my linux box wouldn't know what to do with it.
I might be persuaded to use Windohs also.
> Is it odd or even service packs that usually cause problems?
This is Windows we're talking about. Always expect problems.
>And what should I do with my Sparc workstation then?
Do what I did with mine. Take it to the recycling center.
Forget the Segway, what is that great sound track? Anyone know?

When did this become a Microsoft policy?

>It's tough to squeeze a mechanic or a plumber through a data pipe, no matter how fat the pipe.
And that's why the richest person I know is a plumber.
The after version does have a much fuller and richer sound but I still heard a lot of background static. Can't this be filtered out?
>Since the disc is made out of paper, and the current number of optical discs is about 20 billion per year, it is easy to use even more trees.
Hopefully, they'll be able to manufacture them using recycled paper.
>I used to be a Mandrake user, but I got sick of the fact that once you install, there are no easely automated ways to update yoyr software.
Hmmm, Mandrake has had MandrakeUpdate for every release that I know of and then there's the command line thing called urmpi or something like that.

My God, you're right!
