But we CAN harvest the energy of fat people, just force them to go on treadmills hooked to generators. In the US you will have almost an infinite supply of energy!
reebie tshirts or polos from a tech convention are not 'nice' apparel.
Really? Maybe this is why I don't get fashion, but when I go by all those fancy clothing stores I just see what appears to be kitsch, only instead of being free kitsch it's $50 kitsch. It seems to me like the new fashion trend is to pay a lot of money to look disheveled, jeans with dirt and holes already in them, tons of clothes that seem to be just slapped together called an outfit etc. What I don't get is why someone who pays $300 to look disheveled is so much better looking than someone who pays $3......but I guess I'm just a clueless geek trying apply analytical thinking to fashion instead of just blindly consuming because someone with a lot more money is telling me to.
Man, you have a regular eating schedule, get laid, and actually have time to sleep instead of spending all nighters at the office? I have to call your geek credentials into question.....
Just out of curiosity, have you tried doing all 3 of those at the same time?
because they are worried that anything over 10 minutes is probably a copyright violation....they should at least create some mechanism whereby material that provably doesn't violate copyrights could have more than 10 minutes alloted to it....how you would prove it is another issue entirely, but I would imagine they could implement some type of peer review system.
Notice you used the word "I" a lot in you rant, there is a clue for you, despite what you may think your preferences are not absolute measures of quality. Everyone has different tastes, neeeds, budgets etc. Just because YOU don't see value in a particular product doesn't mean it sucks, it means that it isn't right for you. Buy something else and move on, or I guess since I bought an iPod I am too stupid to judge you....
Yeah, but if I really wanted to read Thomas Friedman's writing, I could skip the middle man and go straight to the press releases of companies like Tata and Wipro. That is pretty much what he regurgitates. The man has the critical thinking skills of a fish.....
I mean, I wouldn't have had to set the place on fire if they would have quit moving my desk and asked me to kill cockroaches and kept on stealing my stapler.
I don't know, after the cyborg revolution the computers will need something to feed on, and what better than old people, the same people who invented computers to begin with?
My point, if you had actually bothered to read my post, is that yes, Intel machines have tiger on them now, but come November, all new machines will ship with Leopard. Which means that it will be impossible to buy a machine in October(brand new, not refurbed) and be able to install Tiger on it. If your stuff doesn't work with Leopard, or if Leopard doesn't work with your stuff, Apple's solution seems to be, "well, make it work then!" instead of letting you find alternative ways to get around the problem till you can find a way to make it work with Leopard.
Apple's secrecy doesn't jive very well with a lot of corporate environments either. IT departments like to plan well ahead, and Apple (almost) unpredictably changing hardware etc. doesn't give them a very good feeling.
Another thing(coming from a 100+ user all Apple/Linux shop) that Apple does that doesn't work well with corporate environments is that they make it impossible to go back to previous OS X versions once a new one has been released. If history has anything to say, any new macs that come out after Leopard will not accept Tiger(well, there are no commercial Tiger discs for Intel machines anyway, only restore disks that are bound to the mac they came with). So say Apple releases Leopard and you find out that it doesn't work well with your environment for whatever reason(could be because you just haven't had enough time to rigorously test it). If you want one of those shiny new macs, you are screwed. You cannot install Tiger on it. We are going to purchase 100 new mac pros next real revision, and this may come back to bite us. That being said, Apple still does give security updates for its older OS products, there are still regular security updates for Jaguar(10.3) I do believe....
Now on the flip side of the coin, you can still install windows 2k or xp or almost any old version of linux, provided you are willing to risk not having 100% hardware support.
Or hide them somewhere near the police station and then re-activate them.
Police:Dear god, he is in the building 24/7 and yet we haven't seen him. He must be an invisible, cop hating machine that requires no food or water! Lets not fuck with him!

Gartner's "opinions" have always been, "pimp whatever we are selling and call it 'research'"

keep playing video games 24/7 guys! More for me!
random bodily fluids all over the laptop. Nobody will want to come near it, let alone steal it.
god damn space whore said she was clean....

The lesson here is: don't try to be someone's Mom unless you are his Mom.
Not to mention the fact that if you do try, the cops get involved more often than not....not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.....
since it seems to support "Plays for Sure" which doesn't play for sure on a Zune.....

who get tons of musical porn spam(ok, maybe its not ALL spam) are screwed!

albeit probably unintentionally: As you know, I have spent my life researching, breeding and living with birds,
This coming from someone who calls themselves grrrlscientist. You could probably make some videos to pay for your research.....

Usually I like to start off my Thursdays with Thursday mornings.
would certainly make going to strip clubs more interesting.
