click "Make a new folder" and type the name of the folder. or...

What you think? Think in terms of an AOL user, not a/. user.
Let's put this in our terms. Say you're making $50,000 a year and you're due a bonus of $125,000 (I dunno why, but this is what happens) but then your immediate superior says, 'Hey, you can get $1 Million in stock options instead of the bonus.' And seeing as how this is a good bit more than what your bonus would be, you say "Fuck yeah!" and do it, but then the company does something retarded, and your stock option become completely worthless. Then, on top of that, they fire you, and give you one year's pay severance. So, instead of getting $1.05 Million, or even $175,000 in bonus and severance, you're stuck with the $50,000 in severance. I think I would be pissed in this situation. Now for this guy, it's the same situation, just that there is a lot more money involved. Instead of getting $25 Million bonus, or getting the $125 million in options, he gets $10 Million in severance. There's a big difference between $125 Million and $10 Million. So, in his shoes, I would be bitching, too.
The reason the ring tones use up more power is because a more complicated system is powering them in the newer ring tones (like the ones that will take sound waves as input instead of just notes).
I dunno about you, but my ringtones only play for maybe 5 seconds everytime I get a call. I don't think that the extra little bit of power is going to cause my battery to go dead but maybe 30 seconds quicker.
Man, screw that, ever since I got my wired satellite connection, my backups have been quicker than ever. Sure buying 22,000 miles of Cat5 cable was a bit expensive, but now I don't have to worry about people stealing my bandwidth. It does suck when the jets cut the cable, though. That's where my 802.11b connection to the moon comes in handy(fully secured with 64 bit WEP)
I think you might want to upgrade... Just a suggestion. It should be cheap, you can get a 500MB HDD for next to nothing these days.. And man, those 1GB HDD I've heard tell of, damn, a whole gigabyte on one hard drive, the possibilities!

Sorry, check the clinton administration for funding terrorists.
Check every administration since Kennedy, and many of the ones before that. Especially the Republicans' revered Reagan.
Bachelor's degree from Yale University: $1,000,000 of daddy's inherited fortune as a "donation" to the school.
F-102 fighter pilot... Uhm, the fucker never showed up, so who gives a shit.. With this thinking, I should claim that I was an ace in WWII, and I'm 20.
MBA from Harvard: Another $1,000,000 "donation."
Using daddy's connections to get into the energy business. Whoopdee friggin' doo.. If my dad was a billionaire, I could start an energy company, too.
Buying the Texas Rangers. Well, we see how far that went... They are the greatest bunch of money wasting losers in sports...
Who cares that he was elected Governor. It's Texas.. I've been there, and I live in Florida, we all know that given a dumb enough state, any dumb ass can get elected. (see Jeb Bush) Getting elected again, well, maybe they should keep sparky warmer, and start executing people for the stupidity they have shown.
And as far as being a dumbass... Look at his foriegn policy. My old hamster could have executed better foriegn policy.
I'm a CS major and all, but somehow, I don't think there's any possible way to truly compare going to college and being in war. Maybe the simulated war at Ft Irwin, but not a real war.
Actually, following your math, you could make 5^5 + 4^4 + 3^3 + 2^2 + 1 = 3413 discs. But the thing is, I'm sure that when you burn the store-bought disc, you would get 5 discs that, if they allow themselves to be copied at all, would then only allow four more copies to be made.
It's not that hard to fix this, though. Just make it so that when the CD Burner burns a copy of the 'master' cd, it just sets a 'copy-able' bit on the disc to false. Then no copies of the burned discs can be made. But of course, someone can rewrite the firmware/burning software to get around this... Ah, the circle of copy protection/hacking...
Man, it must be nice to be able to drive ten hours and not hit any bugs. This camera seems to stay spotless. I can't drive ten miles on I-4 here in the Tampa-Orlando stretch without creating a mass Lovebug grave on my hood/front of my car.
Everybody who works on Word files together cares about version control
I use word, and I don't care about version control. There, I have proven your argument wrong.
There will be a magnetic field of some sort, it just will have flipped. Magnetic north moves continually, which is why Navigational Maps tell you how far the north your compass is pointing is off from the true north. In this case, if the poles flip, after it's done, we'll just paint over the N,E,S,W and put S,W,N,E the compass is pointing in the opposite direction? So what, I've solved he navigation problem.:-P

Go see the one they have hung up at the Kennedy Space Center, you'll be in awe and pissed that you ever made this comment.
