I beg to differ. I have [cough] friends that download movi^H^H^H^H^H content from the internet, and some dvd rips^H^H^H^H^H^H^H database files can be larger than 4GB! Even at a good (cheap) DSL line of 1KBPS it still takes quite alot longer to download content than it would take to go to blockbuster^H^H^H^H^H^H^H the office and pick up physical media with the data on it.
Of course it's going to take forever on Cup-Net!. I have a 10mbs/800kbps cable connection and it's quicker for me to DL a movie than to go to the video store (or order pizza and wait for it to arrive, though I still do that on occasion). My ISP (RCN) even offers a 20mbps/2mbps connection in some areas now. The bandwidth is there, you just have to be willing to pay for it.
I wonder how long before someone tries to steal one with a truck (like an ATM). If you get chased by the police, just use one of the cellphones to call your local news to tell your side of the story (and get the latest goings on in sports from Trip Whitman!)
Other grad-student cheaters include: engineering students, 54%; physical sciences, 50%; medical and health-care, 49%; law, 45%; liberal arts, 43%; and social science and humanities students, 39%. These numbers are close to the guesstimate of the anonymous professor.
The only reason MS is doing this, is because they are desperately trying to save a business that's in more trouble than Ronald McDonald cartwheeling through Baghdad.
They're just going to have to bite the bullet sooner or later and do what Apple did-- drop the old OS in favor of a new one, and ease the transition to it by allowing the old one to run as an application.

It IS the next project, but it's not called the i-levator. It's called i-pointandlaugh and it's not a hardware product, it's a new reality show from Apple.
As part of it's aggressive new push for content for the video ipod, Apple is producing shows. The first of these: i-pointandlaugh, currently consists of randomly trapping people in it's store's elevators and recording their reactions as well as afford the viewer, a chance to point and laugh at the poor bastards trapped inside. The NY incident was just the pilot...
Other planned incidents will be a mac that demonstrates it's reciting abilities, until the clerk goes into the back to retrieve a product for a customer. That's when it unleashes a flurry of expletives that would earn a emotional verbal reprimand from Fowlmouth
Yes, I have absolutely nothing to do at work today...

What the hell is that?!
"We're a busy company, give us some slack! Jeez!"

The most popular thing is crap.

In the end, it's the same old shit.
Pr0n is downloaded twice as much as previously calculated.

What a shame Orson Welles isn't still around. IMO, his voice was up there with Peter Cullen's.
I think that's screech's last hope.
Yahoo's employees googling for better jobs.
Exactly! It puzzles me how what I said could be misinterpreted. But then again, this IS /.
:-D
Thank you for not being retarded!
it will be shaped in the lawmakers own image: Bloated and useless.
