It bugs me that Hollywood didn't jump on the occasion in 1999 to make a Space: 1999 movie and set the release date on september 13th. They've been into remakes of old things for the last two decades or so, would've fitted the bill perfectly ten years ago.
Strangely enough, the toy of the year was Optimus Prime in 1985. Not sure if there's an Optimus Prime toy for 2009, but given that the second Transformers movie came out on DVD a few weeks ago, I find your comment funny.
I also find it sad that cartoons and toys of 1985 are now the blockbuster movies for 2009. Hollywood lost its touch two decades ago.
used or attempted to use Comcast service to use the Ares, BitTorrent, eDonkey, FastTrack or Gnutella P2P protocols
Ok, so if your Blizzard updater got throttled, you can't say a word? You have to sign a paper confessing that you used one of those specific P2P client, where 99% of the users are downloading copyrighted material?
Yeah, there's nothing to fear, comrade, come in and sign this paper for your huge 16$ check.
It seems CherryPal's netbook kind of goes against that jury-rigging fact. If there's dozens of types of parts, you probably won't be able to make one working laptop from a few non-working ones. Unless CherryPal planned for that, of course.
They sold the Lindows trademark to Microsoft for $20 million?
1. Start new Linux distro with a name that sounds like "Windows", but not too close (ex: not "Wimdows" or "Winblows"). At this point I would suggest "Bingdows" just for the fun of it. 2. Wait for Microsoft to sue for trademark infringement 3. Have Microsoft's case thrown out 4. Ask Microsoft to respect you 5. Profit!
Ned: Phil? Hey, Phil? Phil! Phil Connors? Phil Connors, I thought that was you! Phil: Hi, how you doing? Thanks for watching. [Starts to walk away] Ned: Hey, hey! Now, don't you tell me you don't remember me because I sure as heckfire remember you. Phil: Not a chance. Ned: Ned... Ryerson. "Needlenose Ned"? "Ned the Head"? C'mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn't graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well? Phil: Ned Ryerson? Ned: Bing! Phil: Bing.

A slideshow? Then yeah it should be a series of JPEGs or PNGs depending on the image.
Who decided to make that into a WMV file? It's not rocket science!
If they are, they we'll probably get a lunar park with blackjack and hookers.
When did AMD drop the ATI brand?

Forget the embed, it's a WMV file... what about using a more standard format like MPEG-4?
Never heard of point-to-point, thanks for pointing that out.
My point was that too many things use the same acronyms.
Because P2P is an acronym and BlackBerry is a product name.

Oh yeah, my mistake.
So, is there any commercial program out there which uses P2P?
A lot of women want a baby. It's a natural instinct.
Oh, you meant BB.
I don't see why your wife would want a Best Buy.
Oh, you meant BB. Sorry.
But you mean your wife doesn't already have a Belly Button?
Oh, you meant BB. I apologize.
I would tell your wife that the days of Bulletin Boards are over.
Oh, you meant BB. My mistake.
I don't see why your wife would want a BB gun though.
Oh, you meant BB. Duh.
Etc, etc...
Yeah, yeah... I know about context. But I also find it annoying when people use acronyms for no good reason. This isn't Twitter.
Are we sure this isn't a dupe from 36 hours ago?

Even worst, a bag o' random crap.
Not only is it a good idea, but we could even hire the whalers on the moon. They carry harpoons.
Q, stop posting on Slashdot. Or is the Continuum that boring these days?
If you think Flash sucks on Windows then obviously you've never seen it run on Mac OS X. Adobe is a complete disgrace on that OS.
What Midnight Blue? Oh, you mean underneath all those stickers? Seriously, why do non-Apple laptops always look like Nascar, erm, cars?

How can you see "Are you sure you want to purchase this item a second time?", click "yes" and tell us it was a mistake and blame it on iTunes?
Don't be silly. There's no sharks in space.
