Well, I haven't seen the movie, but when I get around to watching it I'll probably end up humming along!
I'll let you guys know how my excommunication goes.:P
Do they sell the censored products at all their stores? I don't shop at Wal-Mart much (and not at all for music), but I thought I had only seen the censored CDs for sale below the Bible belt.
GEOS was... interesting. I never could get used to the idea of having a mouse attached to my Commodore. It seemed so out of place. I'm sure the people here who have expanded the poor C128's memory a thousand-fold would disagree, but it was always my 1 button Epix joystick for me.:)
Having said that, I can't imagine that people will access web sites in fifty years (if there's even anything that still exists that's remotely analagous to a website by then) by typing text into an address bar. I don't know what they'll be doing instead, but I get the feeling that owning a cool domain name will be about as valuable as having the rights to a particularly catchy morse code callsign would be now.
You should print this comment out, put it in a shoebox somewhere (or a time capsule!) and open it up in 50 years. You'll probably have a good laugh. I'm not sure exactly what part of this will be funny in fifty years, but more than likely it'll somehow be funny.;)
I fail to see the problem here... 1 pin per address bit, 1 pin per data bit, or some combination thereof where a pin serves dual purpose... throw in some power and ground pins and maybe some chip enables or other miscellany, you still don't have all that many pins.
As for speed... should work the same as now provided you keep the wire lengths constant.
The lack of a physical manifestation of something with a property of infinite magnitude (such as the dimensions of the universe) would not render the concept useless.
Two completely different things.
I wasn't referring to the digital conversion. I know you're not going to tell me the methods for recording instrument output (again, other than MIDI) are lossless.
It was a joke, laugh.;)
FORTUNE's requirements: The products needed to be practical, easy to use, fully installed, basically idiot-proof, and very, very cool.
I'm sorry, but did you recommend Linux? I don't think that meets any of the above requirements for the typical home user.;)
They're supposedly technologically illiterate. I somehow doubt it'd be 'switching over' so much as 'learning to type from scratch'. Might as well give them the typing skills that will confuse the heck out of them when they sit down in front of good ol' QWERTY at any other computer.;)
Slashdot Mirror
... to gain our trust. Then, they'll take over the world!
Let's just hand it to them on a silver hard disk platter!
Yes, let's continue exploring both at the same time. I personally don't think we'd gain any benefits from sending NASA underwater. ;)
National Aquatics and Submariner Administration?

They've hacked in and gotten the source code! For free!
Hmm... this post seems to be bringing the script kiddies out of the woodwork around here.

If I had mod points, I'd use them to buy you a beer and/or your choice of an asian male hooker (some people are into that).

All audio is lossy at some level, unless you prefer to listen to MIDI recorded directly from the instruments. You may provide your own vocals. :)
Then Microsoft would go for broke, which is precisely the reason they wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
I believe Douglas Adams cleared up the pecking order for us already. We're the third most intelligent species on Earth.
And on top of that, you could get arrested for soliciting sexual favors in exchange for money.
However, you do get to keep your dignity when you have a root canal.
You've obviously never tried to explain Goatse.cx to a 10 year old. :)
Well someone has to buy the stuff!
The Last Ninja Best... game... EVER! I also had that Epyx joystick, what a beast. "1 button ought to be enough for anybody."
Now with ass-groove memory!

I, too, would like to welcome our new geriatric hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional overlords.
Are you trying to say disease, famine, hurricane Isabel, etc. are NOT Microsoft's fault? Leave /. at once, heathen!
