That was the first time a website actually startled me.
No joke. What the flock were they thinking when they made that flocking website. Maybe you have to use their flocking browser just to see their site correctly, with the flocking "hegiht" attributes and all.
flock.com till it kills ya, or blinds you anyways...

They must have more than just a new laptop. Or it does more than they are disclosing. I wish my laptop would send me to the future too...
Plus the dope that did their website has the main image double named on the extension (ces2004-floor.jpeg.jpg). At least that is not dated for the future too...
Jump through hoops? I was verified in under thirty seconds with two clicks...
Just because you are a fast jumper doesn't mean it wasn't a hoop.
No kidding.

I have an idea said Bill,
Activation is what we will do!
That will ASSure compliance,
And more money too.
And when they change hardware,
RAM, video, or the MB there.
They had better prepare,
Reactivation will be waiting them there.
Keep a tight hold on those VL-Keys,
If people get those, they'll think windows is free.
Activation's too easy to bypass this way,
Your Key will be voided, you will see.
Windows Update will be our next bet,
We will require activation for that.
When they cannot update won't they be upset...
It's activation before they download that.
Honestly, with the level of exactitude that I have seen from a number of the the original posters (not just here on/. but elsewhere too) this is not too hard to fathom. Are they in a hurry? Lazy? Or are they just ignorant of the language they are using?
Regardless of the reason, if they are posting an editorial article of any sort they should always check, check, and recheck again for correctness before they post the article.
But alas, the scope of the Internet is vast. That allows for people that have English as a non-primary language. A language that they are still learning. And that goes for some of the younger English speaking people too. All of the rest fall in line with ether being lazy, in a hurry, or just don't care.
And last, but not least: English is a living language. But the general rules still apply.
Open Source just doesn't have the marketing power that Microsoft does.
That's because of all the sheep that pay the $$$'s in extortion tax to MS.
People need to not just "think differently", they need to think smart. Taking the MS path will lock you into a software rut. Taking the Apple path will lock you into a hardware rut. A rut is a grave with both ends knocked out...
Take a look at all of the available open software and you will see that you have many options available to you. Software and hardware on multiple platforms. That is not a rut. Plus you have the opportunity of saving some hard earned $$$.
Paraphrased from Bruce Campbell:
Think Smart, Think L-Smart.

How about we make this the standard?

No more Warrant songs for You! Haha...
After barely more than three months of playing every single day, congratualtions, you've made your money back...
Then when you tack on the subscription fee, you are back in the hole again.
Well Dr, I'm not sure yet what I should do. It's this Gimp guy, he just keeps gawking at me...
What I find amusing is how they provided a picture for those of you with oldskool 3d glasses

Hmmm...
...and the birth of a novel (or hollywood movie) has occurred.
I don't think...
So it would seem.
"It has been fixed in Firefox".
"No it hasn't".
Perhaps, but Firefox users can "fix-it" by using an extension called NoScript [ http://www.noscript.net/ ].
Would you send me an invite please?

You brought up a lot of good points. The biggest of which IMO is that people in general don't like change. Even if it is for the better.

Are you saying that our dog sleds aren't fast enough?
