EULA's only mean something if you have an auditor living on your desk... look at windows xp "you can only activate the product 3 times" well let me tell you when you call M$ for activation, they don't care.. thats all there is to it.
I'd have to say that'd be a better way to measure it's magnetic field, if one does infact exsist. let me point out, just because we have something on earth and on surrounding planets doesn't mean it's on ALL planets..
Isn't weight calculated by the amount of force exerted on a particular mass? how in the hell can something that is floating in a 0 gravity environment have weight? Unless thier talking about it's relative weight if it were here on earth.
like saying "planet blahblah wieghs 700billion ton" NO IT DOESN'T it weighs nothing! there's no gravitational force acting upon it. If it was heavy it'd fall somewhere LMAO
really.. come on.. and how do they weigh something by looking at it anyway? they don't KNOW what the density is of the crap it's made out of. all the scientists know is what they have access too, that's the crap they have on earth. how do they know that some planet 10 light years away is made up of the same elements as ours? Thats like saying that you can tell how much a chunk of some unknown metal weighs because you know how much a chunk of aluminum, thats about the same size, wieghs.

it won't work people use windows at work, and inturn will use windows at home.
why do you think apple is give macs to schools? they want kids to get used to using a mac before they get used to using a PC so that thier first choice is a mac. it's kinda like how everyone loves thier first car no matter how crappy it is!
you know it's easy to put down microsoft because of all thier short commings, but if you ran microsoft would it be that much better? i mean think about all the grandmas and grandpas and the little boys and girls that have to use a computer. thier not as technically smart as most of us. microsoft has a large task on thier hands everyday that they work on building a new OS. they have to take every single person in the world into consideration. i enjoy the comments "oh windows should be linux, lets all bow to linux and have sex with linux and let's all have linux's babys" and such but you know what... can your grandma use linux straight out the box? would your uncle who buys a new computer call you to tell you about it and say "man i just got a brand new intel duo computer with a terabye of drive space and 2 gigs of ram" i know mine wouldn't. my family calls me and says "i want to talk to you about my new computer, it's got 2.5 'gee-ach-zee' something and 100gb of memory and some ram in it. and it has one of those cd players. is that good because i want to be able to look at my emails" of course I want to slap them, and I sure as hell don't want to tell them how to use linux.
not to mention how everyone puts down microsoft so baddly for windows (i'll give you internet explorer it's a peice of crap) but i mean look at all the jobs windows has created for people. Look at all the programmers that make money on making application that make windows better. Look at the families that don't go hungery because daddy is a geek and can fix windows for other people. yeah open source is great but when you get right down to it, you need windows, like it or not you need it.
the mythbusters also can't recreate the intensity of a lighting bolt either. maybe you should rewatch that episode. they even say what they did is nothing close to the power of real lightning. so you can't really compair thier findings with real nature
actually i don't believe the inquirer, if you zoom way in on the photo that actually shows the laptop you'll notice what i noticed... i don't think it's a dell at all, i think it's an HP, look at the logo at the bottom center of the monitor, dell doesn't put rectangular logos on their laptops like that, unless it's an XPS and it doesn't look thick enough to be an XPS

so do i just sketch the kind of porn i want or what?

I say it's going to turn out to be a huge marketing ploy by charmin toilet paper!
it's not 400%, it's 400 times, thats 40000%, where as 400% is just 4 times as much
if your gay do you need to talk like a butt pirate?
no, not us geeks, but 90% of the population (the ones that still call their computer the "cd-rom") don't know and they just use what they know about.

well, you know, buying new games retail usually includes getting off your ass and leaving the house

Thats not grotesque you want to see grotesque, let me find that tub girl link...
oh boy! anouther cool idea for stardock to buy and mess up!
