Microsoft to replace Word with OpenOffice after everybody at Microsoft said in front of Bill Gates,"Wow. This is so much better than Word. I wonder why we didn't switch earlier."
Guess who posted the story. A real girl. Wooot... Female readership has all ready doubled.
Actually I was wrong. Realgirl58 isn't even a real user. Oddly enough though Slashdot's pink cutsy way of attracting females is working. Unfortunately, they are complaining about the sexism.
Hehehh.. Read the description. Taco said Hemos celebrated his birthday last Monday. Get it. He is making fun of the fact that stories usually get posted a week later and people complain about it. Perhaps though I am reading to much into it.
Punkbuster does not work! I have gotten cheats into Punkbuster enabled servers that I admin, without having my IP on any protected list.
I read the article and it said that it doesn't work for all cheats. Were you getting in with almost all of your cheats or a fraction. The article said that one fifth of all cheats still can get past Punkbuster.
No steel framed buildings have EVER collapsed due to fire before 9/11 even though much fiercer and hotter fires have occurred within them.
No but a steel frame bridge ending up buckling because of a tanker fire. It's prety much the same concept and by your logic should have never happened.
World Trade Center building 7 fell in exactly the same exactly symmetrical way as WTC 1 and 2, and it was NOT hit by an airplane.
I don't get it. Why do people believe such asinine things? The buildings caught on fire and collapsed from a failure in structual integrity. They are probably the most dramatic examples but this wasn't certainly wasn't the only time it happened. An oil tanker fire actually caused part of I-95 to buckle thus leaving part of the bridge unusable. The reason why all the of the collapses looked like controlled demolotions is because of Newton. Floor fails and floor fails down ontop of next floor which causes a domino effect. Even if part of the floor was strucually sound it was still going down. Also, those loud explosions you think people heard was the sound of foot wide girders being riped in half. PS. The magic bullet theory is entirely plausible.
How high do these things fly above ground ? Are then within rifle range ?:) Skeet shooting could take on a whole new perspective!
Yeah now you have a big giant projectile flying towards the ground which could land on someone's house. Not to mention whenever you miss you will have a hail of buckshot flying randomly away. I really hope this was a joke. Also, I have only heard of a Predator Drone being shot down once and that was with an RPG. So I don't even think you would be able to shoot them down in the first place.
I know this is a familiar dig (ha ha look at those stooopid open source developers, they don't have the brains to name their project novell, or exxon or soething) but the reality is that all the english words are already owned by corporations. You can't name your product anything sensible because all the words are owned and you will get sued.
Nice analogy in your attempt to say that all the major corporations own these words but Exxon isn't a word. Not to mention the fact that your analogy tends to break down when you have iRobot the book and iRobot the company.
To learn to live and dress with full attention to style would require hours upon umpteen hours of thought, of education, of decision-making, and so on. And that takes time I don't want to subract from my writing. What would you rather have? Asimov, the prolific writer, or Asimov, the fashion plate?
Noone ever complains about my t-shirt, Dickies shorts, and piercings when I'm done fixing their shit... in fact, I'm the one they ask for by name.
That's nice. I dress in fairly nice dress clothes and someone asked me who I was going on a date with. T-shirt and shorts are normal except for right now where it's that pretty chaotic part of spring. I also got asked if a buzz cut was voluntary. I really couldn't think of what scenarios that my boss was thinking of.
The main reason technical books are so expensive is due to a Supreme Court ruling in 1979, Thor Power Tools vs the IRS. Basically, the IRS held that the long standing practice of counting inventory as an asset when it sold was a form of tax evasion. They wanted companies to pay tax on all their inventory, every year it was sitting in the warehouse. The IRS prevailed.
No. That isn't the reason why. I hapen to buy more esoteric books than just plain old computer books. I buy books on robotics. Strangely enough good books on robotics are about half the price of a good technical computer book. How many people would buy a book on the PIC Microcontroller? Not many. Yet Mcgraw Hill sells two of them for 24.95.
Especially now that Print On Demand technology [xlibris.com] enables the publisher to do single-copy hardback press runs, keep the retail price below fifty bucks and still make a profit. The tech publishers are just screwing you.
Heheheheh.. Your logic is slightly flawed. Fifty dollars to buy a book on computing from the 1980's from MIT press. As far as I can tell they are a non-profit organization.

Man... If that's all you can complain about then consider youself lucky. I once had Microsoft Word restart the whole computer.

Guess what two of the posts say. April fool. No. I don't read Japanese. The only words in English on that website is April fool.

Now they have Google doing the cutsy stuff. Also, FIRST POST. Woot. Always wanted to do that.
and then I realized it was permament death. I found Microsoft's story about reintroducing the XBox 360 in Japan more amusing.

Hehehh.. Read the description. Taco said Hemos celebrated his birthday last Monday. Get it. He is making fun of the fact that stories usually get posted a week later and people complain about it. Perhaps though I am reading to much into it.

Wow. Everything is pink except for the little area where the reply button is. I guess CowboyNeal really did let his girlfriend redesign the website.
