Yeah that would really work, I can just see all those people working for free and governments spending billions on research which they can then put out on the net for other governments to copy without spending a penny! I would like to subscribe to your mailing list.
I think this more shows the kind of attitude that you have to downloading. I still prefer to support the artists that I enjoy, and until cars come with built in 64GB SSDs and wireless synchronisation to the music collection on my PC, I expect I'm going to keep buying CDs..
Stupid political correctness. I find it insane that some people would find 'black person' offensive. Like if I was picking someone out in a crowd I'd use hair colour, skin colour, height, whatever, and yet sometimes find myself scared to say 'black person' because of all this political correctness bullshit. It's crazy.. over here (in the UK) schoolteachers aren't allowed to call blackboards blackboards. I have no problem with marker boards being called whiteboards, so why the big deal about blackboards? If I was black I think I'd find it more offensive that someone has taken it upon themselves to 'protect' black people from this abomination of a word, that I doubt would have been offensive to me in the first place. Anyway, rant over. I wish someone would take out those morons that keep doing the "nigger posts" and spank their asses with flaming hot pokers..
good in that you can always be assured of quailty updates from msft Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!! Ahahahahaaaaa!!! Teeheheheheee....:D good one!
"Which is more profitable? Innovation or screwing the customer?"
Screwing your customer could be pretty profitable, though in most countries it's also illegal. Not sure there can be much more innovation in this arena than has already taken place over the past few thousand years, but the advent of wireless communications certainly makes for interesting possibilities.
At least they haven't been so crass as to inject them into the game itself. There are some games where real life ads could actually work well though, for example I wouldn't mind if Grand Theft Auto IV had real ads up on billboards, bus stops and on the radio for example, would make it all a bit more realistic. Wouldn't be as funny as the fake ads of course:/
Aye, I've heard recently that it's okay, but the McDonald's coffee that I had a few years ago was truly disgusting (I've only been there about twice in the last 5 years, I prefer Burger King, KFC, or pretty much anything else that isn't McDs - and I these days I tend only to drink coffee from proper cafes if I ever have it outside of work).
Probably true. I thought the same of Vista (I still had 98) until I tried it and discovered that it didn't take that long to boot up. Vista.. I don't see the point yet. I only got XP so that I could play Lego Star Wars:P
My A1200 was fine and responsive with 16MB of memory, I found that comment rather funny too. The operating system itself should simply manage resources rather than freaking consume them all.. how can you justify 480MB even with all of your necessary drivers/DLLs/whatever loaded into memory? And that was even without the Aero interface wasn't it?
His comment is to poetry as a McDonald's coffee is to the smell of freshly brewed coffee so rare that it is composed only from beans that have passed through the intestines of a small rodent.
If only someone would point that out to Microsoft.. the most obvious exception to your relationship. I'd say the size of the userbase is more likely to be related to the quality of the software - that's what you'd hope at least. For some reason, the larger a userbase becomes, the worse software gets as the creators try to expand on it just for the sake of expanding and making more money..
May I just ask why you insert your own newlines into your comments? I have seen a few people do that online, and I had to read your comment about 8 times to get any sense out of it (I'm guessing because newlines usually signify a new idea or sentence, or maybe I just need some coffee)
While I can see the comfort in sleeping in a big fluffy pile of cats, there's just something very wrong about the whole chainsaw thing. Sleeping with sharp objects doesn't seem conducive to a healthy lifestyle? Nice house though;)
I am a wealthy landowner and offer to buy them new textbooks. The bald ones are the most aerodynamic, otherwise I get them to wear a skullcap on principle.
Aha, I see you share my discipleship in the world of parachuteless-kayak-base-jumping! Everyone else thinks that dropping from 1km up into large reservoirs of water is lunacy, but I tend to think.. there's water down there.. why not use it? The fact that it would be better to make use of aerodynamic principals to help my glide down and make landfall in a safely controlled manner is completely m00t to those like us. When I tried utilising my origami kayak it didn't work very well though, water has this strange propensity to alter the structural integrity of my marine projects. The paper floating barbeque was an especially noteworthy disaster - popular fantasy fiction would have us believe that fire and water are opposites in nature, and therefor should cancel each other out, the paper drying out in the heat as fast as the water can soak in, but after my own experiments I just can't lend any credence to the concept. Anyway, time to go home, that's quite enough work for today.
No, you just have to make sure that you disinfect any open sores before you move into a production environment. With closed sores you can never be sure if the inside is infected and festering:s

It's kind of like when you look in your mirrors, but you're not expecting anyone else to be on the road, so you don't even see them.

It's an extremely crappy security metric, because in fact Vista could have more bugs, just that they haven't been discovered/patched.

I doubt it will be the government trying to protect you from bears, it's more likely to be some guy on pervypeewatchers.com checking you out

Then after Windows Altavista they can bring out Windows Google just so people know that people don't think it's less advanced!

Windows 7 - because Vista sucked

Unless, perhaps, you wear braces (or a 'retainer').

Tumours can have high growth rates too, doesn't make them a good thing :p
