The problem is, the only ringtones that the phone actually *comes* with are twenty times worse than that "stupid 50-cent ringtone." I just recently got a phone, and the 11 or so ringtones that came by default were SO AWFUL that you can't help but buy something better... I was able to find one of the 11 that I can BARELY put up with. It's quite ridiculous.
I disagree -- 5% can be a LOT, particularly if you're running something that takes an incredibly long time
Sure, maybe your 3.5 hour process only runs 10 minutes faster -- but on the other hand, your 10-week-long simulation of quantum physics finishes several days sooner. 5% is a lot.
Theoretically, at least, the order you put words into the search engine shouldn't affect anything -- and google disregards "of", so those three strings should be exactly identical.
gah, no! Animated movies are good for movies with talking toys and green ogres (along with most movies aimed at children).
Any movie that is even *half* attempting to be serious should be done with real people. The point is to be believable, and animation would completely spoil that.
"In the not too distant future they will be able to formally prove the correctness of a system."
Maybe I'm wrong, but....
In my college CS course last semester we formally proved that this is impossible. There's no way to write a program that will absolutely prove whether a system is correct.
If you want to clean my bathroom, knock on my door and ask -- I'll let you.
I'll still be pissed if you broke in, regardless of whether my bathroom's clean.
The customer is not always right. In fact, the customer is completely wrong more often than he/she is right. I worked in the fast food industry for a year and a half, and I cannot believe the low level of intelligence that over half the people that came through our door had. They couldn't find stuff that was right in front of their face, they would argue about prices until they were blue in the face, blah, blah, blah. Thank goodness my boss had enough sense to trust his employees more than random people off the street, or I would have been driven insane by the job.

Last time I checked, every chip that's ever been made was 3D. It's kinda hard to get them to work otherwise.

Was anyone else struck by how much longhorn looked almost EXACTLY like windows XP with a new desktop background and transparent titlebars?
Yea, but We got death star!
I thought you were talking about the composer.

Didn't that mess with your keyboard and make your monitor kinda yellow?
What? You turn your computer off?

OMG!!! You mean Pi knows my SSN??? It must be a terrorist! We have to do something! (Maybe it knows where WMDs are, too)
What? I just did all three, they all work.

Why do advertisers/companies think that annoying the hell out of people is a good way to make money?????
