Well, it sure is good to hear that it can work so well, but there is still one thing:
He said he wanted to replace his pc so I assume it's already a few years old and that explains all the hardware was recognised, but if you try this with a new machine you still have the problem that the latest wireless/usb/sound/etc devices are not yet supported and to get it to work is not exactly easy. It's not like you can just download a driver and install it like under Windows (in theory you could but the drivers simply don't exist yet). So what is still needed is vendor support.
So although I want to watch this movie, I won't till I've seen at least some substantial part of Babylon 5.
That's always the trouble with a parody, if you don't know the original(s) you'll miss all those subtle or even not so subtle jokes...
I can tell you that even one password is too much for most people to remember. And I'm talking about university staff and students, you'd think their are smart enough to remember...
Anyway, the main reason is our windows policy that forces you to change your password every 3 months. People tend to be annoyed by this and just quickly think of something which they then easily forget. So I think this policy actually is doing more harm then good.
it shows some asian guys playing ping pong with bullet-time effects. Everybody has probably seen this already since I'm usually the last to see this kind of things but anyway... back to the topic!
I actually read about that yesterday on a website which listed the Stella awards, so just now I tried
to find that page again but instead I found a site which debunked this story and all the others:
by teasing nanotubes away from one side of a forest and attaching them to a strip of sticky tape
again proof that duct tape can make anything work!
Soon we will have duct tape made out of this nanotubes, after that, who knows or even dares to dream!!!
There is also a growing thread at Nanog where network admins are complaining of not being able to get new passwords.
guess what they say about doctors is also true about admins...

What I'm wondering about is why the shiny layer on the LCD?
Doesn't it give more reflections?
I know other brands also use them but I never understood why....

you forgot to mention it can do infinite loops faster then any other processor!
I thought people like you pronounce it as planearium??

They will get Vista working correctly in China or else!
heh, even if they can make it work correctly, the real challenge will be to sell it in China.
10 times cheaper??
ah, but a doctor can do an abortion, so technically it can be undone.
IE is already at 7beta, so that must be ehm, a lot better!

while we are on the subject, I found out wikipedia has a nice page about all these made-up words:

you're right, it's a perfectly cromulent word.
this must mean that AMD will switch to PowerPC!!!

no, no, that's outdated already. You should ask if it runs OSX now...
while sending an alarm to a caretaker.
Could be useful that, for the *really* sick or if the device doesn't detect life signs anymore.
It's how they abused their monopoly to wipe out future competition and to screw over their customers that got them in trouble
that should have got them in trouble... unfortately they seem to be able to get away with it.
There is also a growing thread at Nanog where network admins are
complaining of not being able to get new passwords. guess what they say about doctors is also true about admins...
you can have some faith in the slashdot readers yet.
I was merely fishing for a Simpsons quote, which seems to have worked quite well...
dude, are you being sarcastic?
