The reason why SACD and DVD-A have failed is because you have to be listening very carefully in a controlled environment to notice the improvement over regular CDs (ignoring the multichannel aspects). HiDef DVDs, however, should offer considerable noticable improvement over standard DVDs, assuming you have an HDTV. Some people won't notice a difference, of course. But many people will at least notice some improvement. This is because people's eyesight is more finely tuned than their hearing, since they're required to discriminately use it on a daily basis.
The goal was two-fold: typing efficiency and saving space (adding characters to the command name meant more resources were used - this was important back in the days when having a few kilobytes of RAM was a lot)
Grandparent: MS has acquired Opera so that is the reference platform for the (MS) future
Parent: MS has NOT acquired Opera, as the parent states.
Ahhh, yes, now I understand why I was modded troll. Hey clueless mods, learn to either nest your comments or click the [Parent] button. Threaded comments do not necessarily display in order. You'd think that these morons would've figured that out by now...
WTF are you talking about? What is wrong with pointing out the the GP post has a majorly incorrect "fact" in it (MS buying Opera)? Or are you one of those dipshits that still hasn't figured out how nested comments work?
I know a lot of people have already stated this here, but it needs to be reiterated ad infitum, since so many of you can't seem to get it into your heads. The only thing that IE for Mac has in common with IE for Windows is the name! That's it. It's not a common codebase. It's not the same developers. They both just happened to be made by the same company and given the same name. Got it?
When are human, dog, or cat gonna make it on that list? C'mon, you gotta try em at least once! On a serious note, you should give moose a try sometime. Pretty dang tasty.

So, as New Year's Eve is coming, remember to use only tall glasses for your party!!!
Or tell the bartender to give you the shortest, squattest glass he's got.

Can't they just sell me the drive now and then send me the add-on DRM module once they get that sorted out? I promise that I'll hook it up right away.

...we don't all have ipods.
Do you have a portable CD player? You can download the mp3s and burn them as an audio CD.
Anyone wanna buy me a copy of the exhibition catalog? Thanks!
Is Dell shipping security risks now?
Well, considering they ship Windows on (nearly) every machine, I think it's pretty much a moot point.

Crap! Are you telling me I was beat to it by a bunch of little girls?
I'm gonna start a new trend and be the world's first offline blogger.

...but I have picked up an awful lot of information (or some combination of those words, at least) from comments over the years.
Yup. Agreed. I've definitely picked up a lot of awful information from the comments over the years, too. : p
Of all the predictions listed, the only true one is marked 'funny'. That's kind of sad...

It's okay. He wasn't calling anyone else a moron...
Network mirror still has the original blog post up.
Nail two things together that haven't been nailed together before...
That's what I tried telling the twins, but would they listen???
Glad to know I wasn't the only one stumbling through that post.
You clearly have never used, or even seen from the sound of things, SoundJam MP. It was nothing like iTunes.
Actualy, I wasn't wearing anything. I think what you might've seen was my rash...
Don't forget the spelling error, too.
I don't believe that dodos exist either. I do believe that they existed, though...

it was sarcasm...
Uh huh...Sure it was...
