Apple's infamous "1984" commercial for the first Macintosh appeared on Super Bowl Sunday in 1984! What's wrong with you? Are you anti-Apple or something?
Wow. Those all happened, separated by years, within a few days of each other. Maybe NASA should just automatically scrub all attempts to launch or land anything the last week of January.
Seriously, three comments and the server's already 500ing?!? I had to get Winnertz Patrick's phone number from the whois information and call him to ask about the new MC.
So not only is their server going to be down, but now their Web admin's phone is going to be ringing off the hook!
Actually, in the U.S., for paying at the supermarket or paying for fares or tolls, or other everyday purcahses, most of us don't use our credit cards for that. That's what debit cards are for. Most of our debit cards have a Visa or MasterCard logo, so they are indistinguishable from credit cards in almost every way.
Credit cards are more for things that you don't have the money for right now, but will have the money for later or for buying things that you will pay for over a short period of time. They're a bit safer for using over the Internet, too.
Same thing would happen here in the States. There is no way in hell I would use my cellphone to pay for anything. Hell, I don't even buy ringtones or mobile software. (Especially not when there's lots of very nice open source J2ME spps out there.;) )
But the point is that I want to keep my wireless bill as close to a fixed price as I can. It makes budgeting easy when you know your wireless bill will be, say $150 every month and it's not going to go up from there. That's why plans with unlimited nights and weekends and big blocks of anytime minutes are so popular here.
Hey, I like and use Ubuntu. But I never said I liked the default brown color scheme. One of the first things I do on a brand-new Ubuntu install is change the theme.
Dude. You are doing something wrong if it takes your box 15 minutes to boot Windows XP (or Vista). My XP load, which runs in a 32-bit VM under VirtualBox on a 2.0 GHz AMD Athlon X2 64. takes only 1 minute and 15 seconds to boot.
The problem is that ISP's pay per megabyte for uploads. Downloads are free for them except for the cost of the line and equipment maintenance., etc. That's what this is really all about.

Another Linux-related question: If I format the USB drive with ReiserFS, am I restricted to using it only in a chroot jail?
When we impeach Bush, can we do something about Memphis' "King Willie" please?
Psssst. Might wanna change your sig. Bush is no longer a sitting president and hence, can't be impeached.
That's okay. I googled my name and found three wedding announcements! By the end of the next month, I'll be married to four different people!

El-cheapo flash MP3 player on the go and Audacious (XMMS fork) at home. Works great for me.
Manned space flight has directly or indirectly resulted in technologies you're likely using right now.

Way to go, dude.
Agreed. If you want the best picture quality, you really need a DSLR and some nice lenses.

Not to worry. I bash the iPod, too. I'm an equal opportunity basher. ;)
Or a long enough beta period.

I agree that the buttons look like they're in the wrong position (the button two should be reversed for OS X), but the 'skin' looks kinda OS X-ish.
For defamation? Probably. ;)
This one. Yes, it looks like OS X to me, too.
Half-decent? The Zune is brown. It's like they hired product designers from Canonical.
Microsoft Bob -- Checkmate!
Uh. Yes. Yes, it could. I highly recommend you RTFA. Then you'll be like "argh! Slashdot Editors: PLEASE DELETE MY POST!!!!"

You do know that the automobiles shown in the picture are Nissans, right?
