I bet the test was unfair; they should have asked the people who did poorly if they could, say, remember the items from a McDonald's menu. Now who has a better memory skinny boy!
How many drill bits will I need to buy for the company toolbox to run our email service? And does anyone know where I can get a toolbox with redundant power and cooling? Thanks.
So basically type whatever you want; just make sure to put a smiley at the end of it? Thats what I do when I type things in about all you ratbastards out there:-)
I do agree that Microsoft is damned no matter what. The thing is, plenty of other operating systems are secure, without the need to limit third party software in such a draconian manner. I mean you could make your house safer by putting locks on the windows and doors, or you could simply cement every opening shut. One alternative is certainly more palatable than the other if you actually want to live in the house eh?
You know, that is an interesting point: if Microsoft continues to make it harder and harder for game writers, and they jump ship and stop making PC games and go console-only (with a domino effect: fewer people playing newer PC games => fewer PC games => even fewer people playing newer PC games), how will this impact Microsoft Windows share and hardware purchasing? Now if only apple could take advantage of this somehow (introducing: the iConsole!) Maybe apple could create something like iTunes for video games under OSX?
A funnier and more insightful comment I have not seen here today. Seriously, will this keep out determined black hats for long? How many more shackles will Microsoft add to their software before people finally throw up their hands and say, "screw this; what alternatives are out there?" It almost seems like Microsoft is squeezing everyone while they can, realizing that many people will just keep ponying up the cash until they have been drained completely.
How about packing helmets/vests/etc with a layer of this stuff for things that get through? I for one would prefer that the padding in a helmet be filled with this rather than plain ol' squishy gel.
Now this is research! It would be worth eating, even if the fake bacon (fakon?) took ten years off my life, uhh, kinda like eating too much real bacon.....
Just wait; I keep betting that the next time around, to get a new key they will require someone at your site to videotape themselves jumping around and screaming like a chimpanzee. In fact this could be a way for them to generate a new revenue stream if they sell these videos.
As long as you don't buy any new PCs with the newest Microsoft Office installed, you are fine. But as soon as the new guy starts saving all his files in the newest format (which of course will break older versions, which everyone else is using) you suddenly have a problem. Of course buying a Microsoft Office 2000 license for a brand spank-me-new computer might be kinda hard....
If the launch rate reached 3000 launches per year, they calculate that would drop to $189 per kilogram. Today, it costs more than 100 times that to send payloads into space.
However, Epstein says he cannot imagine a demand for that many launches in the foreseeable future.
Space burials (presumably of cremated remains). At $200 each (plus cremation) I am sure they could sell a few thousand of these per year. Now if they could only figure out a way to allow living people to withstand 2000g of acceleration, space tourism might actually be affordable.
The only drawback I can see is you might end up in an offshore prison without access to a lawyer or any due process, since the only reason you would do this is to fund terrorist attacks, right?

Actually a gabble is the gavel the judge bangs to quiet the rabble.

Yeah thanks for bringing this catchy video back into my brain. Even now my skin is crawling remembering his sweaty armpits (*Shudder*)

Maybe they could use Goatses (amount of traffic generated to download a copy of the goatse image)?
So when are Hummers going to come standard with a Freedom Flame on top?
Or even worse: "Look how stretchy they are; time to add more instrumentation to our probes"
Wrong branch of science. You might try a major pharmaceutical company or your local drug dealer instead.

I heard that the red and brown color uses glue made from ponies, which would explain the extra strength.
Healthy veggies that taste better than chocolate cake.

It would be interesting to find out we are the equivalent to this process, and some higher lifeform (say, TFSM) is using us to store his music.
Does this qualify?
I don't think that word means what you think it means. Unless you are glad that no one is willing to take responsibility for the problem and fix it???

Now picture this scenario if GM controls 95% of the car market; it is starting to sound worse and worse eh?
The only drawback I can see is you might end up in an offshore prison without access to a lawyer or any due process, since the only reason you would do this is to fund terrorist attacks, right?
But what if GM manufactured parts that only lasted 3 weeks and also made it impossible to use parts made by anyone else?
