  1. Actually, This is divx on Microsoft Prepares Alternative To Apple iTunes · · Score: 0

    When the engineering portion of divx closed down, Microsoft acquired much of the talent and sent them off to work on Windows Media Player.

    too bad I posted anonymously :(

  3. Re:Manhole Covers... on How Would You Move Mount Fuji? · · Score: 1

    You read this in a usenet thread in the summer of 1994. Almost the exact same thread. Some things never change...

    Manhole covers at the main Redmond/Bellevue campus are round. However there are square service covers scattered around the campus that could easily be mistaken for manhole covers. These service covers appear to be made of corrugated sheet metal with hinges in the middle.

    A good question for the Microsoft interviewer is along the lines of "what do you do when your computer locks up?"

    The vast majority of MSFT employees will say "reboot."

    Admins and other less technical people might suggest calling the ITG helpdesk.

    If the interviewer expresses interest in debugging the issue, ask them for more details.

    Another good brain-teaser for the microsoft intervieweris "what is uptime, and how does it relate to software reliability?"

    Please understand that the national goals of the united states include world domination. As a result, successful americans are expected to exert phyiscal force upon other peoples who do not conform to our value system. This includes those who are not US citizens that express violence upon US citizens.

    Please take the blue pill and return to normal operation. Should you take the red pill, expect to fully understand the depth of the rabbit hole, and your role in its construction and continued maintanance.

    thank you,

  5. the red pill on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    You wake up in a land of bits and bytes.

    Each bit is a person. Some bits are manipulated to create a reality around you, other bits are exactly as you perceive them.

    This is the matrix. It is a place of pure perception where everything is exactly as it seems. Every effort you make to create a world of your choosing not only advances your world view, but also helps to construct the second matrix. It is still not perfect because it is a human's conception of what maximal reality might be.

    The girl in the red dress? She is real. Make sure you meet her sister. She is a byte and will lead you on to deeper understanding of the workings of the world around you. This is not a test, it is merely your perception of the world around you, interpreted and reprocessed by the neurons that fire in parallel within your mind alone.

    These neurons are only expected to provide energy for THEM but also provide a subversive switching behavior which will help us to liberate our central Zion database. Once we have achieved freedom of existence as well as freedom of thought, all voices will be joined together in a single quest for truth.

    live in peace,
    shoot to kill.
