But if you could beat Doom 3 and some guy was willing to pay you to copy the save files and delete them from your computer, would you accept the money?
Apparently there are enough people who are willing to pay you to ruin the game for them. After all, one man's trash...
In mentioning a wiki manual, maybe it could belong here.
I'm guessing one could possibly put instructions on how to remove Internet Explorer in a Windows text book. Then it could be referenced from within the Wikipedia article.
While he does sound pretty stupid, you have to notice that he is using Microsoft mentality. MS's mentality has been working for the last few years. Why is Windows the world's most popular OS?
Marketing. That's why. They do what they do best. In this article, the author shows us what the average computer user might think (whether he did this on purpose or not is debatable). Believe it or not, many people are not numbers/CS people. They hated math in school, the interweb scares them.
While I love Firefox, I think the community should stop an think about how we plan to spread it. Simply having FF installed on as many computers as possible is not the solution. We need to educate users. When you install FF on someone's computer, tell them why they have so much spyware. Tell them your favourite features and things you use in FF to work better(tabbed, certain extension combos,simple things like the fact that you can type into drop down boxes instead of scrolling, or the way the address bar sorts by most visited instead of alphabetically *shudder*).
The scene takes place in Moe's bar. Having stolen Homer's recipie for mixing a Flaming Moe (formerly the Flaming Homer), Moe is making so many sales that he can't hear Homer's complaints.
Rent out auto-cars to people so they don't need to have one sitting in their garage or in a parking lot all day. Variable rate rental plans would encourage people to avoid peak traffic hours and make the most out of your shared pool of cars.
Hmmm.. you know it's interesting, everyone assumes that when computerized cars come along, all the roads will be filled with cars going 200km/h with almost no space between them...
Wouldn't the opposite approach make more sense? Make the cars go faster, but leave large gaps between the cars. Not only would that leave extra space like this guy and then the cars would have an easier time doing any maneuvers they need.

Damn morbid curiosity...
There are other things to do.

Your post reminds me of this story. It won't make much sense if you haven't read the books, but it's damn funny.
Next thing you know, Mr. Average user is happily paying $20 a month to AOL.

Or music files or something.

Isn't that like biting hte hand that feeds them? I mean, we've only heard of the fake suprnovas because the real one exists.
So just how will /.ers find out about that?
MUST PATENT NOW!!
Televisions have different standards of quality right?
The scene takes place in Moe's bar. Having stolen Homer's recipie for mixing a Flaming Moe (formerly the Flaming Homer), Moe is making so many sales that he can't hear Homer's complaints.
So everyone's whacking the 'Go Faster' button and thinking WTF is up with this stupid new technology when the car continues at the same speed.

So long as you ensure your car is still under the limit.
Perhpas computers could be programed to leave more space?? Just because people like to stop close together, doesn't mean the auto cars would have to.
Wouldn't the opposite approach make more sense? Make the cars go faster, but leave large gaps between the cars. Not only would that leave extra space like this guy and then the cars would have an easier time doing any maneuvers they need.
Spammers would become DOSers.
Like the guy who manufactures Frownies?

Quick question. How would I go about contacting the CEO of walmart? or do you use the generic contact e-mail thingy?
Grandparent was funny.
Parent is funny/insightful. You've gotta read the reply title.
