The problem is that beta products should eventually *leave* beta.
Why, what does it matter as long as it works, and keeps on working.
So you have the option, Microsoft releases products that should still be in Beta, or google who have mature products that you can use, and they are still in Beta?
Getting two weekends a week would be nice, but if you have to work one of them, I would have to disagree with calling it a weekend, just a normal work day.
It is news because a lot more people are buying macs, because they are superior in most ways. Now these people may not now that they are being gouged by so much. Also, it reflects badly on Apple that they are STILL ripping the unwary of so much.
Yes, this is the same as the word Yes, which can mean yes or no, depending on the sense.
What a load of bollocks. That pretty damn stupid. So literally can mean exactly, or not exactly. I caste great dispersions on that so called dictionary.
Yes, congratulations, you can take everything to the extreme and your argument seems sensible.

If they got rid of all those fat attendants these day they would make a huge saving. I suggest Anorexic dwarfs.

Who the hell are you to tell me or anyone else what our priorities should be?
You realise you live in a society? The things you do in a society affect those other people in the society as well. I might as well run around saying who are you to tell me not to play my car stereo at full blast and drive around the streets at 4am? If what you are doing (flying by plane), is affecting all of us (making the air bad/ destroying the planet), then surely we get a say in it? We are allowed to object.
Stealing functionality sounds like reverse engineering to me.
Yes, because when I wrote my text editor, I clearly must have reverse engineered Microsoft Word. This is clearly wrong. Stealing functionality means just implementing something, like outlook migration, which is mainly done without reverse engineering. Only a very few cases involve actually reverse engineering a product, because it is hard and long.
Really, I picked him up as one who didn't suffer fools very well. (I do get him confused sometimes with Hicks, Leary and Rollins). I am sure all would agree that people who use words that they don't understand to sound intelligent deserve some abuse.
Oddly enough, both games had the same "different" gameplay in that certain pirated/cracked versions would work for about 30seconds and then everything on screen would explode and/or die.
That is not so bad. A really bad system would be to blow up stuff randomly after about 10 minutes, every 5 minutes or so. Or for an adventure game to miss out a couple of necessary tools for you. That would be great. I remember reading about a game that did that, Monkey Island? Anyone else remember.
But how does this explain hot chicks with ugly dudes?
Also, girls (and guys, it happens in reverse as well), sick of being cheated on, finally discovering that looks aren't everything, and feeling a lot safer with someone less likely to cheat.
And anyway, you shouldn't be finding guys more or less attractive.
It is simple. The reason that bad guys do better, is that bad guys don't waste their time with people who aren't interested in them, whereas people like you do. How are you supposed to get anyone else, if you are wasting all your time chasing someone who doesn't want you.
Exactly, most geeks can get women, but they have to change how they look and how they act. Most geeks aren't willing to do that. Most people aren't willing to do that.
I guess this proves how important they consider security these days. Does anybody still believe anything that they say? Yes, I really believe they have given up the fight over ODF.
What a load of shit. This laptop can do everything you would want to do today, except play the latest games. What do you think people did 3 or 4 years ago, only check there mail and browse? You can run photoshop/Cad/program on it no problems.

Now, copying/distributing the content on those CDs via different media - That's where the system falls apart.
The system also falls apart when you try to sell the song you bought of itunes or Amazon.

To be fair, a lot more testing could go into each ram stick. Even factories right next to each other could produce a huge difference in quality.
Of course, i would never buy the stuff from Apple.

Well, if you smoked an ounce of pot on Earth you would get pretty damn high. Even if you were a pregnant Rhino, you would get pretty high.

Apple. So predictable.
Yes, so predictable, in your own head. Funny when you make shit up, how it happens like that.
Really, I picked him up as one who didn't suffer fools very well. (I do get him confused sometimes with Hicks, Leary and Rollins). I am sure all would agree that people who use words that they don't understand to sound intelligent deserve some abuse.
Ironic that we had just watched that HBO special two nights ago...
As I am sure George would agree, that is not fucking ironic you motherfucker.
Yes, their new business model:
1. Release crappy game.
2. Sue review websites/magazines.
3. Profit.

Doesn't calling it 'incomplete code' imply that there might some day be a complete version?
No. This is an incomplete sentence and I have absolutely no inclination to finish it at

Bad people are more focused than we are.

Sure, Microsoft will fix this, in about 2 years.

I have had over a 100 thinkpads, never had a bad pixel. Most of these were 600s, over 7 years old.
Agreed, but the last few dells I have had had a trackpoint as well, and they were new, in the last year. D340 was one of them, I think.
