I actually have Windows XP Pro running on a couple of 64 MB machines here at the ol' non-profit (read: ain't got no money). If you disable a bunch of services, tone down the eye candy, and don't plan on "multi"-tasking, you can actually get a bit of work done, after it finally stops booting.
The only "kibosh" that will be put is on government-related cell records. Just like cops, agents, politicians, and prosecutors get to carry guns but you don't, they will get special privacy protections that you don't. Put money on that fact.
N/S. I'd fire the idiot who told me that I needed 39 buttons on a remote. This is probably the same Einstein that came up with cell phones that have color screens, take pictures, have Bluetooth, play games, have downloadable ringtones, Internet surfing, text messaging, and still don't work any better as a telephone than they did 10 years ago. Heck, I can't even find an actual "ring" tone in many of these modern phones.
I could design and implement a bulletproof voting box over a couple of weeks for probably around $10,000 tops, dropping that to $2000 or so in volume production with a healthy profit included. Diebold seems to have problems with this simple task. They also make ATMs, and I bet the banks don't put up with that kind of shit. The only reasonable explanation is intentional malfeasance.
Since tech journalists seem to be the ones writing stories on the road on their notebooks, you can assume they are puffing themselves up. Why don't they just call themselves "marauding pirate murder pimps of doom"?
Well, you see, there's no original error. "Free complementary" is not redundant. The food and drink complements the event, see? Dang, the grammar nazis are foiled by the conjunction of two apparent errors. Two wrongs DO make a right, apparently.
The four-day simultaneous harmonic time cube has been thoroughly debunked--he failed to account for higher dimensions, so we are actually living in an 8-day simultaneous harmonic time tesseract. Check your equations!
Yes, an earthworm and a gazelle are quite similar in their movements. Thanks, science, for clearing up this pressing issue. Next topic: is snow in Antartica similar to Arctic snow? Researchers will be generating computer models to determine if the angle of the hydrogen bonds in water might cause a similar hexagonal pattern of crystal formation on BOTH poles.
They're gonna take their ball and go home if we don't play by their rules! I mean like, they are gonna stop making music and movies! Imagine a world without Britney, without "Christmas with the Kranks"...I just can't do it!
Mao invented Communism when he was visited by the ghosts of Confucius, Lao-Tze, and Buddha, who told him that to free the peoples you have to enslave them. After some halting attempts at socialism, collectivism, and cultural reform, he finally discovered that capitalism is the best means of accomplishing his objectives.
Nowadays, the Inner Circle of the Chinese Communist Party gathers once a year to summon the spirit of Mao in a mystic ceremony, where the Chairman dispenses sage advice on such topics as: how to educate the populace by killing the intelligentsia, how to feed people by destroying their agricultural tools, how to eliminate poverty by hoarding wealth, how to promote peace with nationalistic xenophobia, and how to build a workers' paradise by killing people who protest the fact that people are being killed.
IBM has thrown off the shackles of Apple's tyranny! The Power architecture is free! Now IBM has the kind of opportunity afforded Motorola when the 68K architecture was discontinued. I envision a bold future where the Power architecture rises to Itanium-like achievement, marring the shiny chrome bumper of the x86-64 hegemony.
It's not that there's a black box, but what's inside it. It could be a water pump, heatsink, and fan; it could be a leprechaun with a pot of gold; it could be ninja gerbils wielding nunchuks! Think of the possibilities!
Don't worry, humans are quite good at killing each other. Although it's been stated that "I don't know with what weapons WW3 will be fought, but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones", they didn't clarify that the sticks and stones will be wielded by superpowered GM weeds.
The Chinese gubmint has been trying to establish Asia as the birthplace of Homo sapiens for quite awhile for PR purposes. It's kind of stupid, actually. Next thing you know, they'll claim they invented gunpowder, pasta, and Communism.
Depth? You mean power-levellers, spoilers, ragers, OOC people, haxx0rs? Yeah, that's a layer of depth.
I play on-line shooters like ET and BF2 because real people do indeed add tactical depth (plus the smack-talk is more satisfying), but for RPGS, I'm solo only because 1) no monthly fees, 2) "emergent" online play is used as an excuse by the developers to avoid having story and content, 3) online RPGs have all converged to the same thing, and 4) I play when I feel like it, I don't want to wait around for a party or try to schedule playing times. Hmm, some of these also apply to sex...ahem, I mean, uh, I'm having lunch with the GF shortly, GTG.
Why don't you just set up your own DNS server? Choose a TLD that nobody uses, like ".free". The trick might be to convince people to use your DNS server, but it's a free world, no?
- Beg for money on your website (with a handy PayPal link) - Sell square inches of lunar real estate - Sell naming rights to various stars in the galaxy - Sell prayers (or better yet, indulgences) - Sell "homeopathic" remedies (tap water) - Start a "blog" (really a BBS), charge subscriptions for people to entertain themselves - Make lots of toast, sell on Ebay as "Virgin Mary and/or Jesus and/or Elvis Toast" - Declare yourself an independent country and sell people citizenship - Pose as an ousted Nigerian dignitary, promise people a cut of your ill gotten gains, take their money and run (possibly illegal in some jurisdictions) - Make a bunch of finger paintings, fake your own death, sell your work as high art - Make some lame Flash cartoons, create an Internet meme ("Badger..", "Trogdor...", etc), sell T-shirts - Create a blog, sift through a couple of common sites and "aggregate" articles, then post to other people's blogs citing your blog as a news source - Threaten to kill some cute animal if people don't buy something from you - Stop bathing, acquire some army-surplus accoutrement, stand on street corners looking dazed with a cup in your hand - Do something stupid, get humiliated on national TV, do the talk show circuit, become a regular guest on some low-budget game show - Get a job. But only if you're desperate.
I don't know--hardly anyone is still talking about Duke Nukem Whenever anymore. That doesn't mean vaporware will die, but once people get used to it, it's no longer a "trend", it's just business as usual.
Depends if you want to cross the country, or just travel a few hundred feet quickly.
Really, though, you can categorize Bleex as a toy of similar utility to the German Krummlauf rifle attachment that let you (try to) shoot around corners.
I've already figured out 45nm...just use gamma ray lithography. With some wavelet theory and stuff. I'm pretty sure positrons are involved somehow, as well.
I use the BugMeNot Firefox extension and it works great. For those who don't know, BugMeNot has a database of bogus (presumably) registrations, and the extension pulls one and fills in the login information for you. Technology to the rescue!

This ain't nothing. Next step: NVidia blade servers. Play Quake 4 with real-time raytracing!

Hey, OS/2 was also developed by Microsoft. Damned if you do, damned if you do it again.

Shh, don't let the W find out, or we'll be invading the Kuiper Belt. Talk about a long deployment!

I suggest a new, totally secure and bug-free programming paradigm. Example:
void main()
{
SuperSecureFunction();
TotallyNotBuggyFunction();
ImmaculatelyConceivedOperation();
}
I call it Intelligent Design programming. You just have to link to the right libraries.
