And threaten to file more often. How many spyware perpetrators would quail before the sight of lawyers? Lawyers! They have a purpose in life now, and it's a good one.
Am I the only one for whom the "next" completely fails at life and the internet? It's not just that, sometimes clicking on the page numbers does it too - sometimes. A firefox thing, or is it their fault?
As someone who has never heard of the State of the Onion address before this, I am SEVERELY disappointed. It was, "YES! They have STATE OF THE ONION ADDRESSES? ZOMG AWESOME!"
And then.
Perl? WTF x_x
How do you miss something 500m long? Granted, the world is a big place, but I thought that SOMETHING would have found a great big 500m long object by now.
"In latest news, after years of frustration and fear of losing their careers from lawsuits over their screw-ups, disgruntled doctors are now taking the offensive and hitting right back..."
Er.
I use Office XP.
I hope I'm not. Obsolete. It may be five years old, but I get along fine with it. Of course, by Office XP I really mean just Word XP, but still.
I disagree. I tried hard to migrate to OO, and found it okay for a while, but whenever I had to do anything more complex - even changing colors was a learning curve - I found that it wasn't worth it, that Word would do for now.
I mean, props to Open Office, they have a really good product, and their Powerpoint equivalent saved my life when I found out I didn't have powerpoint and needed a PPT presentation. I learned that program on my own quick enough and well enough for the project I needed to get done.
But switching from Word to OpenOffice? No. It's not that easy. It's like...I guess you could compare it to, Photoshop -> Gimp. Perhaps not that bad, but still it's something that will take time to get used to. At least it did for me.
This is terrific. For once, the angry masses can love microsoft. For once, they can trust in Microsoft's ability to outdo, outmanuever, and simply PWNZ0r everyone else in the field.
g0z0r microsoft, deliver us from this evil!
PDFs are so much of a pain that someone went out to make a javascript script that, inserted into each document, puts a little icon of warning indicating file type next to each link that could potentially lock the browser, your computer, and life in general (link preview)
But yeah, PDFs are annoying to no end. I see that they're useful, but why must they freeze my browser with such alarming consistency? Another curious note, whenever I close a PDF file in Firefox, adobe acrobat doesn't exit. It sits there taking up 30 megabytes of memory. I have to go control+alt+delete on its ass before it shuts down. Why's this?
Has Google peaked? What!? Who dared violate the Eleventh Commandment? Google is on its way to free WiFi for like, everyone, and taking over the freakin' world! Of course it hasn't peaked!
Of course...it has now, thanks to t3h slashd0t effect.
My god, what has the world come to? LOL was fine. ROFLMAO...I could tolerate. But now we're on ROTS and HHGTG?!
No! I will not stand for this!
(out of curiosity, what does HHGTG stand for?)
Tax us to our deaths, please, do

Somewhere along the line, we're going to have to ask ourselves: what is more important? Eating at MacDonalds or watching our coutry nuke the shit out of the moon?
Just when I was jumping up, ELATED at this new find and development, OVERFLOWING with all sorts of lovely feelings for Google, FRUSTRATED by the overwhelming slowness of my connection, I read the catchline:
The Apollo missions served one purpose primarily - to win a title. So it was a heated race, and the Soviet rocket exploded towards the end and we took the trophy and coveted title of 'First country whose man stepped on the moon.'
Big deal? It was then. But it's been done. Why do it again? I suppose there's some merit in being the 'Second country whose man stepped on the moon,' but if we're already the First country, we can't exactly be the second country also.
UNLESS! Unless we change our name. Like add the word 'Uber,' or at least a few umlauts.
But anyways, since then, we've sent probes to the moon and we can still send probes to the moon. If we have to explore something, or sample something, probes are considerably cheaper, are they not? Probes get the job done, don't they? The only thing that manned flights could do was get back rocks of such a size that probes couldn't handle. What do we need large lunar rocks for? I see no immediate requisite, and even then, there has got to be better alternatives than a manned flight.
I think we're playing the PR trump card again...and I think it's going to fail. Face it, ther'es more important things to do with our money than to do something we've done before.
Oh, I know that there was growth but that it wasn't on par with the posted expectations. I was noting the irony between the two articles and which point they emphasized. The other article, I believe from USA Today, was titled "Microsoft profits grow" or something along those lines.
This one, on the other hand, was titled "Microsoft misses quarterly revenue projection." I thought it was interesting how these different sources emphasized different points of the story.

Mind you, careful the taxes! They're killer!

I recall reading something like this in an issue months ago from Technology Review. I'm *pretty* sure it was RFID, but not positive.
They mentioned checkout-free shopping. Now, that would be really cool.

Okay. Evolution. See that? Foundation of modern biology? Now, that's just a theory. You don't want to believe that.
See this? We are DOOMED. It is OVER. We are industrial pigs who will OMG DESTR0Y T3H PLANET. And we MUST STOP USING CARS.
NOW.
dude.
someone, find a pic of emperor palpatine.
man. man oh man can we pwnz0r now.

Er, right. I knew that ^_^
Thanks for explaining.
Erm, the new Tiger just got released, no? Why didn't they release it without the 19 errors?...what happened to 'Don't let's be like Microsoft?'
Great! Now all we need is an evil guy that hacks into these and turns a great army of blind people on us. Tell me it can't happen, please, do.

You can reject a rejection? Sweeet! I'll keep this in mind when I some day apply for a job.

Finally! We get rid of that horrible piece of unstylistic, ugly, crappy garbage! You know, in retrospect, I didn't mind it all that much.
For a brown dwarf, it's awful bright blue and green!
