to read all the comments of the *nix zealots making fun of MS but actually pissing in their pants fearing there will be less and less unique points to brag about their OS. Well, do not fear! There will be enough things left that windows can't do.
This is what I found on the subject but I don't know what combination to pick (maybe "go out of power; especially having been unsuccessful in an election and have unprotected war between the sexes"??):
out:
out(p): not allowed to continue to bat or run; "he was tagged out at second on a close play"; "he fanned out"
extinct: being out or having grown cold; "threw his extinct cigarette into the stream"; "the fire is out"
out(p): not worth considering as a possibility; "a picnic is out because of the weather"
out(a): out of power; especially having been unsuccessful in an election; "now the Democrats are out"
forbidden: excluded from use or mention; "forbidden fruit"; "in our house dancing and playing cards were out"; "a taboo subject"
out(a): directed outward or serving to direct something outward; "the out doorway"; "the out basket"
no longer fashionable; "that style is out these days"
come out of the closet: to state openly and publicly one's homosexuality; "This actor outed last year"
out(a): outside or external; "the out surface of a ship's hull"
away from home; "they went out last night"
reveal (something) about somebody's identity or lifestyle; "The gay actor was outed last week"; "Someone outed a CIA agent"
outer or outlying; "the out islands"
knocked out(p): knocked unconscious by a heavy blow
away: from one's possession; "he gave out money to the poor"; "gave away the tickets"
be made known; be disclosed or revealed; "The truth will out"
(baseball) a failure by a batter or runner to reach a base safely in baseball; "you only get 3 outs per inning"
sex:
sexual activity: activities associated with sexual intercourse; "they had sex in the back seat"
either of the two categories (male or female) into which most organisms are divided; "the war between the sexes"
all of the feelings resulting from the urge to gratify sexual impulses; "he wanted a better sex life"; "the film contained no sex or violence"
arouse: stimulate sexually; "This movie usually arouses the male audience"
the properties that distinguish organisms on the basis of their reproductive roles; "she didn't want to know the sex of the foetus"
Not much to add but lots to improve. Take Word for an example, it's like stacking crates in Half-Life. You have one table in place, add another and the first one takes a hike to who knows where, most often to the previous/next page but sometimes it disappears completly. If you use sections make sure to check the page numbering and for empty pages. Sure, you can get by with some experience but it's still frustrating. Disclaimer: we're still using 2000.
It's not the advances in hardware that makes computers slower, it's the software which is growing out of proportions. There is no need to go back to the VIC, we 'only' have to put that old OS on modern hardware; If we put amiga os on modern hardware it will boot in 2 seconds instead of the 10? seconds on original hardware. So, don't be afraid of the dual-Opteron, it won't make things slower. Just don't update software, especially the OS.
You have to be a clever guy to know assembly inside-and-out for a specific architecture and not even be in the college of science or engineering.
Assembly isn't terrible difficult, it's just engineering. If you can wrap your head around the binary/hex system then you can do assembly.
As far as I know, Billy was an accounting major. Most of the people with business majors I've run into know very little about computers other than how to get around in Powerpoint and Word
Back in the days assembly was a popular hobby, so what he was an accounting major, you find recreational programmers everywhere.
Hell, most of the comp-sci guys don't even know assembly very well.
This doesn't indicate anything, there may be numerous reasons: it's too difficult, too easy, having other priorities, it's not expressive enough, insufficient cost/production effective or they rather design some algorithm involving integration/differentiation than doing low level embedded engineering.
Those are the very ads that I dislike so much. Honestly, any person who creates an ad that resembles a Windows dialog box or...
There is one variation I find sort of amusing, it's the one with the fake scrollbar and the partly visable girl. It tricked me once in my younger days.
The same problem applies to slashdot: how the hell I am I supposed to slack off when I have no network connectivity? Using Google's OO this will become a enormous problem, without network connectivity I can't slack neither get work done. I would get stuck in busy waiting and just producing lots of heat. Maybe I can bring some porn DVDs to work, hmm yeah that will do, hahaa excelent! I love Google.
It's only 550MB. It's not even enough to fill a regular CDR. Why couldn't they release atleast a 700MB file? Imagine all the wasted space when people burn this avi to CD.
Seriously. Use a joke responsibly? WTF? Maybe where your from using jokes is a serious business, but out here in Australia making a joke is anything BUT serious. People don't think about "using a joke responsibly", it's a joke, it's meant to make people laugh, if it does great, if it doesn't oh well. But you don't have to consider using it responsibly,
Australia? I don't think that drinking-beer-from-your-boots type persons are qualified to decide on matters of jokes and responsibility. You're way too deviant to have sufficient insight.
the most thought you should put into it is "is this going to hurt anyone's feelings."
>>>In one click I can chose to "archive" my email or "report spam". Why not delete?
>>So what's exactly the problem? Just wait 30 days for the auto delete or go once in a while to the 'trash' and click the "delete forever"
>My Grandparent's whole point was it's too hard to get mail into the trash can.
I see now, he should have said: Why not move-to-trash?
I agree, there should be an easy accessable button for that.
a letter, which explains that the disk contains a document that provides directions to obtaining the family fortune.
Write the directions on the other side of the letter.
Besides, this scenario won't easily happen with important information because every sane person living in this fast changing world knows that floppies, cdroms, videos.. etc might not be around in 40 years.
Am I smarter because I use the calculator because there is less risk of error? Almost definitely.
Nah, usage of calculators are just an excuse to make us look smart. If I were so fucking smart that I wouldn't need a calculator to do calculations (without extra practicing ofcourse).. then I would be smarter than I am now. Some of you might say "that's only computing capacity", but that's what comes with smartness. Smartness is the sum of everything, including short/long term memory and raw computing power. Sure there are idiots that memorize pi to 100 digits but we're not talking about freaks that know one trick. If next year everyone is able to do 14 digit long divison in their head then.. yes I would say we're smarter unless we've given up something for that.
There has been a marked decrease in general intelligence over the years. When asking friends what their favorite TV show is, most of them usually pull out some sort of electronic gadget (PDA, Internet phone, laptop) to surf to a webpage to find the answer.
Cool! I wish I had friends so I could observe such behaviour. Totally weird.

That's nothing! Imagine the pop ups forcing you to wait 4 or 6 seconds before you can read the article. Fortunaly I only read the headlines.
All your gaim are belong to us.

So, if you could get two play-once disks for the price of one rentable, it would be ok with you?
And the Windows dude drinks it and says "let's re-boot^H^H^H^Hfill and see what happens this time."
How does this compare to freelancer from MS?
If it were a list of 2000 then it would be in there.

I am just wondering what actions the bartender should take when he's notified that my bladder is about to burst.
wind powered generators.

Apparently it did.
??? Logic error: No one can buy the second generation if there won't be a second generation.

Was on /. last week, there was an interesting thread on M&M sizes.

Wouldn't that be something! Sony putting DRM circumvention instructions on their website to appear a 'cool' label and gain popularity.
