I guess I'll take the time to explain the joke. An episode, where Jack screws up relations with the Aschen (they're bad guys anyway). He says that line when Kinsey threatens him, but he holds up 3 fingers. Hence, giving Kinsey "the finger" on cable TV.
Yes, you may mod me off-topic, my karma sucks anyway.
"This would be one expensive keyboard but people who have the money to blow might be interested..."
I was willing to buy it without anything more than the graphic. Then again, I was going to get Das Keyboard too.
Its very simple, I think. Right now, windows 2000 is in the place that XP is going to be after longhorn has been released for a while. They will have an end of life for it, and stop rolling out service packs. There very well could be a time where I simply need to move to XP. And even if us technical people can survive without that kind of support, a lot of people won't be able to.
After reading the insanaty of the GP post this is the most sense I've heard. Logic is very simple and everywhere. How do animals know not to eat certain things? Because at some point one of them in a group tried, then something bad happpened to it. Logic is seeing links in things. I do not need "faith" in gravity to remain on the earth. (no matter what Ford Prefect tells you)
Why do people love citing extremes. Are you going to call practical people facists next? Hmm?
When someone boasts they want functionality they expect certain, if not small, comforts. In fact, certain extra features motivate productivity. For maximized theoretical productivity in certain tasks, a CLI would be fine. But for a lot of people, anything that doesn't use a GUI is painful. It's all balance, my friend. Things might go a lot smoother if we all realized that.
Do what I do. Buy the DVD, rip it to something like best quality divx, then use nero vision express to burn it back to DVD and YOU choose the menu features. If you're like me, you just set it to play at disk insertion.
This post probably won't be going anywhere, but I have to clarify a few thoughts.
Analogies at face value fail in these situations. The internet does not mimic the real world percisely.
Of course you can't place all the blame on one entity. But you have to realize in the stolen car scenario. If you wanted to apply this to the internet you have to assume that millions if not billions of people would be sharing that parking lot, in fact, they're all right next to the car. And there are no cop cars, witnesses, and cameras in sight. Oh, and GM and a couple other manufacturers decided they didn't have the time or money to put into locks on the cars.
To paraphrase humerously: Putting the government in charge of security on the internet is like hiring a blind man with a shotgun to guard your unlocked house. It just might scare away the intruders, but it will scare you away too.

I'm with you on that one. Luckily I have 2 TVs 2 VCRs, a DVR, and something called Azerus.

...that their penis could be HUGE... ...even the girls. *cringes*

I guess "explosive" doesn't fall under the category of "flammable."
The problem with a previously stated example (archive.org) is they failed to maintain that promise. I sitll don't know if "promise" = "contract."
Someone mod parent funny.
The sad thing is that this ISN'T a joke.

I follow this simple rule: -if it's stationary, I want it to do everything -if I take it with me, it should have just 1 purpose.

...like hookers.

Google is not a portal BY DEFAULT, and that's what matters. Yahoo almost forces that on you.
They're made of plastic! We're all gonna suffocate!

Don't you mean, "legalized again." Cocaine was legal in the US http://november.org/stayinfo/breaking2/Armistice.h tml
And no, it was not in coca-cola.

The first rule about fan club is you do not talk about fan club!
Startup time: that's why.
I'd be willing to bet anyone in a mob scenario would be wearing a black hat anyway.
It's much cooler than that.
