NOT GOING TO HAPPEN: - Hovering vehicles - Anti gravity - hand held energy weapons - teleportation - economical space travel - controlling computers with our brains - solar energy that's +60% effecient - interactive holographic interfaces
MIGHT HAPPEN: - mechanical prostetics that respond either to brain waves or nerves (we're right on the edge of this one- I believe someone had a really basic, bulky unit working, it just has to become available for the common man) - growing of artificial organs for transplants (goodbye organ donors!)
How about helping save for retirement by taxing my investments less or upping the annual IRA limits or *SOMETHING* to help me help myself?
Oh, wait... politicians. The idea of self sufficient citizens is a nightmare to them, Democrat or Republican. Honestly, you Party loyalists on both sides are pathetic creatures, and I blame you for the mess. The politicians, from Bush to Hillary, are just sociopathic megalomaniacs, and can't help themselves, but you all don't have to be such enablers.
How did you hook it up? The headphone output isn't line level. You have to be careful you aren't over driving the input and fiddle with the iPod's volume level. I mean, they sound great in Bose noise cancellers I use in the lab at work to counter lots of equipment racks with loud fans, so there's no reason it can't sound good through something else. Besides, this Apple box is design for the iPod and uses the other port.
This is meant to be a simple and elegant home audio device. If you want some grotty lo-fi portable with radio and CD player and "UberGigaBass!" (read: cheap, dsitortive filters) where the sum is far less than the parts, look elsewhere.
Vista EXTREME! for the radical doodz[TM]. Or at least the geeks who think they are radical doodz[TM].
Vista Purple, Vista Orange, Vista Yellow, Vista Blue: includes Pokemon based GUI themes.
Vista CEO: Special version with simplified GUI and regular soothing popup messages such as "You deserve your seven figure salasy despite being utterly innumerate" and "CEOs have a God give right to cocaine and whores."
Vistapanimation: Very special incarnation of Vista Prime for sphere of Asian marketing. designed it for rapid speed styling of existence, and make very fast go go go!
New Vista: reformulated version designed to fail and be replaced with Vista Classic.
VistaDali: A surreal version transmuted to the underlying fish for dinner. Shades of red invade my shoes.
Ah, I have spotted the flaw in your security system. You should have had Chuck *N*orris train your ninjas.
Ninjas trained by Morris just arch their backs, howl and make their tails all bushy. And they run under the couch if you squirt them with a Super Soaker.
In related news, 40% of the Earth's land area is infested with sharks. Scientists blame evolution while religious leaders said it was some god's punishment for something they hate and lots of people enjoy or something.
I was watching Voyager DVDs and every episode starts with a non-skippable 10s clip of Voyager powering up and moving across the sreen. Even though it was only for 10s, after 3-4 episodes I was really really hating that clip.
I had a similar reaction, except that after 3-4 episodes I was really really hating Voyager.:-)
As capacity increases, new yardsticks are required. Eventually it'll go from number of songs to hours of porn, then hours of HD porn, then hours of full sensory VR porn experience, hours of holodeck recording and finally number of downloaded human personality matrices... of porn stars.
You can trust me on this. I have access to that interweb thing.

It makes the math work out.
(rolls eyes) That's not what the OP was talkig about. Now smack yourself.

Iraq sent no troops to Vietnam? The deuce you say!

Won't that cause a compiler error with the mismatched variable types? And you should really use integer division (\) there.
"Error MMCMLXVIII: An un-oracled error as been handed down unto you by the gods. All hail Ceasar!"
Oh, and the answer is wrong. It's VI. Now write it 100, er, C times or I'll cut your balls off.
All other considerations are secondary. Crew expendable.
Well, General Foods gave us Tang in 1957, and Swiss engineer by Georges de Mestral gave us Velcro in *1948*.
The best version of Word *ever* was Word 5.1a for the Mac. Simple. Stable. Unbloated.

Well, I have no power at all, and I don't give a shit either.
I hope this helps. :)

Who?
Stealth sharks fricken' rock. :-) Gimme more of those.
God bless the military industrial complex. :-)
That almost beats the radio control planes accessorized with Hellfire missiles.
Now where is that power armor already? We're waiting, Pentagon!
That's a curiously benign way of putting it.

Can't I just buy war bonds or something?
I had a really insightful comment, but I'm still hung up on the giant beavers story from earlier.

1. You get a coupon for the company's products.
2. The company gets a tax writeoff.
3. Some lawyer triple their call girl and cocaine budget.
The class action lawsuit is the invention of unemployed lawyers.
