'Mr Jobs, sir? It's the chip fab here. You are going to be pleased with this latest batch, sir. The etching guys have got the sinusoidal edges down now and the colours you see reflecting off the chip surface are really beautiful. Much better than the previous runs.

Basically, I think we have met all the requirements you set:-) I might be a little ahead of myself but the team are really looking forward to stage two.

You mean those idiots playing hippedy-hop music and walking on my lawn? And those punk traffic cops that lecture you about safe speed on roads you have been driving for forty years? And the smart-alec young doctors? Oh no! However will I cope without them?
That Tripps is bad news, dude. Even if you pull through, the part of your brain that lets you understand machinery is affected and you walk or cycle everywhere ignoring the millions of cars.
1. stick servo equipped gun turrets on ship 2. control gun turrets over intarweb 3. sell gun turret time (gun cannot fire unless captain has gone to action stations) to would-be gunners 4. profit
I concur re the timing. I suggest replacement of the old hardware with some modern synthesisers and drum machines so that they all stay in time with a master clock. Maybe even get some humans to sing parts of it.
I hope flash on my tv is more upgradable than flash on my mobile phone, which seems perpetually one update behind whatever flash is being used on weebl and bob (my benchmark for flash things).
The money wasted running PCs is nothing to the sums wasted on other things by business. You might as well retract the aerial on your SUV to save on running costs. Yes folks, a car analogy.
I was wondering about the wifi. This HP is the first i have had whose wifi works well under linux. It annoys me that you can buy cheap shitty wifi/tv-capture/webcam/scanner/whatever hardware everywhere but they only give you windows drivers.
I haven't any apple hardware more recent than a bondi blue imac so I am just curious about how well linux fares on apple stuff. Ubuntu does really well on my hp nx6125 and only fails to pick up the bluetooth (easily worked around with usb bluetooth doohickey). Which tasks do you prefer to do in osx? I dual boot win2000 but only use windows for tv-capture.
I would define better as 'supports the hardware most fully'. I am using Ubuntu on an HP compaq nx6125 and everything works apart from the bluetooth and the fingerprint reader (when i want bluetooth i plug in a £5 bluetooth usb dongle). I am too crap to sort out things like this or put gentoo on, so I want hardware that ubuntu/debian/other linux-for-dweebs installer can exploit fully.
No wonder they haven't found that bosun that Higgs lost if they keep getting sidetracked by inconsequential crap all the time. 'I'm gonna look for the bosun right after i finish tidying my cd shelf!', 'Oh, I just have to watch Dr Who on the TV first', they are no better than kids. GROW UP!!
That's $180 trillion dollars per person per day in North Dakota alone. Jeebus, if you are going to quote facts, get them right or you are playing into the evil pirates' hands!

Did they stop fitting Vesa Local Bus sockets, too? Motherboards are two feet square, why can't they put enough sockets on? Idiots!
Far from being harmful to the panic, I would say that twitter is helping the panic considerably.

WTF 'near-instantaneous'? You must have never flown on anything but private learjets.

I always think of telechir, but waldo gives more scope for 'where's waldo' jokes.
What you say?
Hahahaha! Stupid foreigners and their corrupt self-serving governing class! Glad I live in the UK.
brb, hate time on telescreen.
It should be possible to produce enough food for 30 billion people. It just takes cheap clean abundant energy.
Hey, the Spruce Goose was a success. It was just that the job it was required for never materialised.

Which is better, linux on apple hardware or linux on not-apple hardware?

What about Special Forces personnel that live in San Francisco and contribute to SourceForge? And play Street Fighter? And .. ok, I will stop now.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.
... is this the first example of an email worm implemented in wetware?
..is that why those oriental-looking chaps selling bootleg dvds were high-fiving each other?
