Not the same: Apple's main revenue is hardware based, not software based. I'd bet they'd have more revenue from people buying Macs being able to run Windows apps too, compared to the revenue lost in OSX sales. Also, I don't see how people would not buy OSX? It's clearly the best choice since you can run both OSX apps and Windows apps. Even if the share of OSX apps would diminish, there's always the added bonus of using OSX instead of Windows.
So if this would happen, it's the OSX app developers who are screwed, but not Apple.
Additionally, Lego requires parents (warning: shocking news ahead) to actually spend time with their children (*gasp*) to learn them how to build stuff. I spend hours on myself playing with Legos once my dad spent a lot of time showing me how to build stuff...
A lot of parents don't have time for that anymore, which explains why an Xbox is so much more popular than a set of Legos.
The price is not the problem. Parents are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on consoles and games, so why would a few sets of legos cost too much for them?
The real problem is that kids aren't as creative anymore as they used to be. Playing an PS2 game is "easy", while building something with Legos requires thought and time. Most kids don't know better than to consume (blame TV, for instance) so playing with Legos is generally harder than playing with a PSP.
The first one is by not cleaning up the SMSes stored in the phone. If the memory is full, it's full and you lose new incoming messages. That -of course- is a user error.
Bad carrier, then. Normally, the SMS should be resent in a few minutes (usually 15 mins or half an hour), up to 3 times, if i'm correct.
I had someone to type the codes over (by hand!) in a WordPerfect document so that we could print and copy them; just in case we lost the original sheets.:)
Err... Netmeeting is *NOT* Terminal Services (which is what Remote Desktop Connections is). Netmeeting takes control over the current session on the remote pc, TS starts a new session, without disturbing any ongoing session.
Basically, the "do" the same thing, but TS does it *SO* much better (read: faster and far less buggy).
Because it appeals to the user of the page, of course.
You may not feel the need for complex and visually appealing websites, but that doesn't mean that anyone else does.
He's got a point there...
It's *unbelievable* how Netscape can screw up doing even the simplest DHTML.
Microsoft may not have a standards compliant browser, but at least it behaves as documented, which cannot be said from Netscape.

Yeah, try being European... I gave my phone number using the standard international format + and the form returned the same invalid message.
Of course, I checked the rules first to see if any Non-US citizens were allowed to enter, and found no 'evidence' of this, so I tried entering. But alas.

Well, this is some hot action!
80% of the heat exhaust energy, not the total amount of energy.
And since half of the cars Europe already have Diesel engines, there's no reason why the new fad couldn't be steam assisted engines. ;)
My god, that was a truly insightful comment.

It's all the fault of consumerism, I tell ya!

I think.
I lost count already. :)
Those were the days... The nested calls you had to do to get a decent menu structure! *faints*

His reward was a copy of the game, of course.

You got a point there. A big one.
Not really.
I was probably as shocked as the rest of you, but that doesn't make it news (anymore), right?
..., but you can't stream them because AVI files have headers at the very end of the stream.
Shouldn't those be footers then?

Nice stuff, people.
