The problem isn't the joke. The problem is that he didn't wait for a sufficient period of time to make the joke.
Strictly in terms of comedy, the unfunny joke would even be worse after time passes.
Maybe something more like: Clamor over who can get their hands on our new spring collection first. Mubarak quoted saying, "I will die in Kenneth Cole shoes."
This kind of publicity is not especially significant, either way. People discovering "this designer guy" for the first time via this story are not going to be newly declared fashionistas that suddenly drop Payless for Kenneth Cole shoes. Neither will Kenneth Cole stalwarts boycott or otherwise.
Once you have assessed these technical points to your satisfaction, I think customer support's ability to communicate issues to you as they arise is the final bridge. Every datacenter will at the very least experience minor problems from time to time, and if you're not able to speak directly with the techs working the problems or if first-line customer support does not have ready access to the details of the resolution process, it sure is frustrating to be left in the dark in the meantime.
You'd essentially have to ship the top 500 feet of soil and rock of the entire areas to China or India, but even that's just moving the problem away from the USA.
I'm all for it. Evidence predicts that it will be handled no worse, with a drop in accent comprehension, but a huge benefit in hourly wage expenditures.
It is possible to create a system which is actually impossible to crack, short of social engineering or unprecedented changes in technology.
If you have to include caveats, then the system is only theoretically, not actually, impossible to crack. Social engineering is still just too effective, especially in this case, where the computers will be used by students (not IT professionals). Trying to pass it off as a minor issue by lumping it with a phrase like "unprecedented changes in technology" doesn't make it any less so.
Although arbitrary, I'd say it's common for consumers to think of "round" price points like $50 and $100 when it comes to entertainment (games, a night at the movies, dinner out, etc). The left-digit effect would make $59.99 the highest price to still "feel" like it belongs to $50, whereas the left-digit change of $60.00 would remind consumers they're "approaching" what they might consider an off-putting number.

Wiles' Fermat proof is a paramount example.
It's even better than a solar eclipse as seen from earth because the earth's atmosphere diffracts light from the sun, causing a ring of light to appear around the planet. Very cool.
I was all ready to criticize something called a Skycar for looking too much like a mini-plane, but lo and behold, it sure does look like a car, so much so that I couldn't believe it flew even a hundred feet without plummeting from the sky, that is, until I saw the parachute contraption and wasn't quite as impressed, a thought with which I decided to conclude this run-on sentence.

And not only must the encryption work with hardware which is very small, it must also work with hardware which is very large.
Wake us up when you have a remote exploit.
There's a nap for that.
"The end guy is hard" ..is what you were going for.

Blame it on the rain that was falling, falling
Blame it on the stars that shine at night

I think $59.99 may be a cap price for a while.

Congratulations E4bp4, you are Top Gene - Master.
There has been no war here. It was the Pax. It was supposed to calm the population, weed out aggression.
Maybe you should conduct your own Swine Flu Challenge, like Maddox. http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=swine_flu
Or the much less popular companion: The Database Guide to Manga How to understand Manga in SQL statements. I don't see how the plot would come in.
Keanu for Data, Costner for Spock. Ya know, so they could appear in the same movie simultaneously. Cuz that's the people want.
You don't think it's noteworthy that a vat of liquid nitrogen can only trump a hobbyist with early access by 0.3 GHz against 6.7 GHz?
Biden recommended the withdrawal after YouTube refused to give him their "number".
No Dune 2 (first RTW)

Plus, you'd be on the MOON, man, ON THE MOON!
...who watched the video and suddenly expected the USS Enterprise to appear from the center of the light?
