All we did was install a vending machine for the Mountain Dew instead of providing it free. Yeah, they grumbled for a while, but it put the company back in the black.
You mean to tell me there was a trek series after that one set in the space casino? What was it... oh yeah, Deep Six Something... I forget.
What were we talking about?
Whatever happened to holographic storage? Weren't we suppposed to have little sugar cube flash drives with a bajillion bytes of storage? I want a keychain thingy to hold all of my MP3s all of my pr0n, my collection of pirated kung fu movies and 10,000 Dr Who episodes and still have enough room left over for the fucking Library of Congress! Where is the future, damn it?!
And while we're on the subject, I want my flying bubblecar too! IBM lied to us back in the 60s! They lied!
Too bad he can't be like Scotty and just load himself into a transporter pattern buffer and wait for them to find a cure for his ailments.
To James Doohan and all the crew of the original Starship Enterprise: may the wind be always at your back. Thank you for the voyage to where no one has gone before.
Actually, the left core will be verbal, creative and be really good at procesing visual information, while the right core will be logical, good at number crunching and have no style sense whatsoever.
The U.S. just slapped a tarif on shrimp imported from Equador for undercutting domestic shrimpers by a whopping 9%. And yet, when foreign technology firms undercut domestic producers by 75% we do nothing. Go figure. Pass the shrimp cocktail.
I just love the name of that union - "Washington Alliance of Technology Workers". As if it weren't 99.99% about organizing Microsoft's employees. Coy. Very coy.
There seems to be some confusion over what music format the iPod can and can't play.
Can play:
AAC, either with or without DRM encoding
MP3, either CBR or VBR
WAV
AIFF
Can't play:
Real Media
WMA
any other proprietary format
Also, the iPod doesn't not convert MP3s to AAC or alter them in any way. There are a variety of shareware and freeware apps that let one copy music files off an iPod and onto a computer other than the one it is sync'd to. And unless these are already DRM'd AAC files they'll play just fine.
Hey, they want exotic new microbes? They need look no further than my kitchen sink. I've got several new species popping up every day. I will insist upon splitting the patent royalties, however.

P2P Leaks Surprises

Yeah, and check out his photo. No way that prune face is attched to a 30-year old. Or maybe he's like that android designer in "Blade Runner" who aged too fast.
The military will see this as a security breach and fix it by arresting Glen and taking his blog down, then they'll go after the P2P software on their PCs. Of course, none of this will, in the end, improve security or help protect our troops. But it will play well in Peoria on the 6 o'clock news.

This thing is too frickin big to mount on a shark's head, so what good is it?
They shoulda named 'em Homo frodosiensis. That woulda rocked. Those hominid paleontologists have no imagination.
AMD will have frickin 64-bit dual core lasers on silicon by year's end. Just you wait and see.

Always lubricate the cattle prod before use. The normals like that.
Well, for one thing, the iPod is a computer peripheral. You need a computer to use it. Unlike your typical DVD player.

I'll finally be able to get a frickin' laser attached to my own head.
My mitoclorians can beat your micro nukes. Sucka.

Just give us iPods with frickin' lasers attached!

Does this mean I can't wear my X Games t-shirt?
Who the heck wants remote controlled nuts and bolts? We need remote control zippers! Do I have to do all the thinking around here? Sheesh.
Heck, just stick your rotting optical media in a jar filled with liquid nitrogen and wait for holographic storage.

Actually, the AAC spec was set in stone before the first gen iPods hit the market and users were able to RIP CDs to AAC with iTunes from day one.

That sounds like a lot more fun than reading that guy's blog!
