I think 2006 will be marked by the return of the cartridge--at least, to PCs. All the consoles and their games seem a bit out of reach of the Incredible Shrinking Wallet at this point.
We'll start seeing small companies selling USB flash sticks (the "cartridges") with their games saved on them. Big corps will fight back with overly DRM'd, 20-GB dongle-games that only look like they're on USB flash sticks.
Hey, if artists can do it with music*...
*I can't seem to find the/. article that mentioned that...
...the BSD daemon was heard screaming in Clippy's ear (and to Netcraft employees nearby) "Who's dying now, you wiry little bitches!" as he tortured the paperclip. Fellow Office Assistant F1 had no comment, and only made noises with his joint motors as he nodded up and down watching the event unfold.
The problem was all those altruistic producers, with their Lord of the GNU/Rings, KAlien and OpenMatrix trilogies!
Moviegoers should support our plotless, $2.00-worth--I mean, Oscar® worthy movies! All the people that we entice and underpay^W^W^W^Wwork on our movies deserve nothing less.

He looks gentle...but pair him with a needy wife (or a comparable Windows PC) and he's a rowdy outlaw biker.
His face reminds me of Poe for some reason. I can imagine Poe running Red Hat, though While I wondered, nearly napping, what the hell this GNU GRUB thingy is doesn't seem like good poetry...
I don't use LimeWire. I tried to install a version from their site, and the installer didn't even work. With all the installers that do work on my rig, I concluded that said installer was absolutely not straight-gangsta, son.
I guess they get some sort of incentives to put commercial (and, in my computer, some trial versions of commercial) software on PCs they sell. Maybe they'd get some marginal profit if I converted my trials from my PC. Every businessman and their mom loves getting a piece of profit from someone else's sales.
Then again, I don't work for Dell et al., so consider this a POMA* thought.
Not much more than I expected...but WOW. I wonder, though, if the tentacle break was an evolutionary trait to survive entanglement, or simply a fragile body part yanked off by the force of the line or something.
If someone/something mods parent down, I'll kill 'em.

The same source's information on a rival encyclopedia is priceless.
What do I know about your colonoscopy? I just keep hearing Katie Couric encourage it on Today!
Ms. Anderson: My what? My lips, my glasses, my boobs, WHAT?!? ...and MY NAME IS NE--I mean, TRINITY!

...sure beats NetZero's 10hour/day, free-internet bannerfest. Adware, but I'd take it.
If it can build a pile of spider eggs as well as Apache Ant can build programs, then I'll accept either.
Ah, yes yes, robots.txt. One forgets the obvious things first...
Wow. There are quadriplegics more sensitive than you.
That said, considering the availability of car (nevermind plane) parking near offices, +5 Correct.

Who pays for exceeding the ol' bandwidth limit, the site owner or the search engine?
I don't [yet] run a site for which I pay for data transfer; I wonder what hosts, if any, have SearchEngineCrawlsDoNotCountOnTheBill® technology...
Not for their name, just that they'll grow up to become geniuses that get asked for trivial information (and to bring the mail) all the time.
Umm...interesting. But if you think apes using tools is crazy, how about apes using licenses?
Me too, but don't tell the FBI that.
They, for one, would not welcome our gang-banging, impressive-tooled overlords.

...because, from these pictures of Jewel Staite, it's not would I, but how often would I. Serenity indeed.
I can't blame this Mr. [Matt] Anderson for being so happy. I wish her and the hotness-stealing bastard^W^W^Wgentleman luck.
Poe is t3h awesome. He gets extra brownie points for living (an ever-so-short time) in the Bronx.
*imitating Jamie Kennedy pose* He's straight-gangsta, son.

Not to mention seeing absolutely no star in the process, for obvious reasons.
<sarcasm>Good job.</sarcasm> ;)

Ah, Clippy, a.k.a Microsoft Office's evil reincarnation of Iago. (hint: download the archived episodes...)
It usually is. The problem is that they actually use the frickin' lasers on the poor camera guy.

Instead of wrapping all that foil around the basement, you should have asked the contractor for one tin ceiling in the first place.
It'd work much better against the CIA's powerful intelligence-gathering methoh49hrv90gtv2gvNO CARRIER
Keita Takahashi, is that you?
That'd be absofuckinglutely awesome. I'd love to see Napoleon yelling Sacre balls! GAAHH!! as he gets added to the rolling mix.
