"Game consoles as home computers are a disruptive technology. PC's cost too much(even at $500) and are too flexible for the vast majority of computer users. Artificially limiting choice(software applications and features) is comforting to people who are overwhelmed by computer terms that they don't really understand."
The prices of the newer gaming consoles are actually catching up with a few PCs...I've seen articles that claim a couple of them are going to be priced at $300 or more, and I'm seeing Dell desktops with Pentium 4s going for the same. They still have a ways to go to be as expensive as the high-end stuff, but it's still much closer than they were a few years ago.
I'm not sure if you're an American who's joking or someone else who's serious (or, God forbid, an American who's being serious), but I'll risk looking the fool and answer you literally.
The IRS is the Internal Revenue Service; they're the part of the American Government that deals with taxes...Collection, enforcement, etc.
They figure it out in ten minutes or less, if they have any proficiency at all. It's not like you need a detailed knowledge of all of Office's "special features" to use it effectively.
I rarely use Microsoft's suites, but the fact that I knew what the first reply (and probably the second, third, and fourth) to this article would be annoys me.
You don't like.NET and C#? Fine, don't use it. I use Dev-Cpp for all my C/C++ work on Windows. But that doesn't mean I have to be an ass (or reply in such a partisan manner that I look like one)to people who do.
Give your kid a book. I don't think I've ever had one of those go dead on me, though I had to do a quick repair job when the mountings on the case on The Dragonbone Chair started to get loose.
The application form asks for your "school" and not your "college", so I think you're good to go. You can message chrisd to find out for sure, if you're interested. I don't think that your age is a limit, since even some college students are 16-17.
I'd say just by being a major corporation built on Free Software they're doing a service to the movement. When someone questions its viability I can say "Look at Google".
According to the music industry, you never "bought" the first copy, you just bought a license to listen to it. In that case, losing the first copy doesn't mean you lose the license to listen to it, so you're free to download the music from it.
If they're going to turn around and say that I actually bought the copy of the music, I'll turn around and claim that I'm free to do whatever the fuck I want with it, including duplicating it as many times as I want.
I wouldn't say either one kisses the other's butt...It's more like both are powerful enough to keep from disappearing into the other's sphere of influence.
So, yes, China can run over Chinese students with tanks, but they can't (yet) run over Taiwanese students with tanks, due to US influence.

No, you hand it over to the editor in the large house that he's given upon receiving the mantle of editorship. How could you misunderstand that?
Looks like they already have:

Even when they were owned by Microsoft, they'd throw a jab in occasionally. I remember an article on how much better Firefox is than IE...
I think there's a FreeBSD port of it out, too.
:D
My BeOS partition uses it, so it must have a high percentage of that market as well.
Right after they get Microsoft Office and Outlook running on FreeBSD.
Claim that they're haunted and will start playing Danzig in the middle of the night. For variety.

Well, you'll save hours in downloading time.

Heh, I'll say. You'd have to spend more than the iPod's worth for a decent shot at it.
We already know of a way to get 10,000 free songs. Your gimmicks ain't flyin'.
Sounds like a question Carmen Sandiego would ask her applicants...

Maybe we should just wear really baggy pants?

If whether the applicant is a student next semester depends on a scholarship that they may or may not get over the Summer, are they still eligible?
I'm pretty sure he's talking about actual "Unix" Unix, not all the *nixes together.

I think the idea is that allowing people who really need to post anonymously due to censorship laws where they live is worth the GNAA's and the FP's.
Shouldn't Han Solo be played by a Warez trader or something?
True Technologic Paradise FOUND?
Maybe now that all the fantastic and unrealistic business views of IT are gone, we can concentrate on science and actually learning something?
