This doesn't make sense. They are offering upgrade pricing to anyone who downloaded the beta version of vista. However, they already gave a free, fully licensed Vista Ultimate copy to everyone who downloaded the beta.
1. Mountain Dew is the usual meal
2. Red bull or other energy drink when I need a slightly stronger kick.
3. Carmel Machiato with a triple shot of espresso if I need something more.
They could also say the police department supplied donuts to him while he was writing the code. If they didn't supply the donuts, he never would have gotten it done.
I recently found out that all of my emails coming from Blockbuster (for the monthly subscription service) were being blocked as spam. I ended up logging into my comcast webmail and noticed that a new spam filter was turned on and set to automatically delete any message that it thought was spam (instead of moving it to a folder). I have since turned off the filter completely but it sounds like I still may not be getting all of my mail if there is a higher up block.
You don't need an OS to connect to the "Internet" so to speak. If you've ever looked at a list of bootable "drives" on your motherboard, you can choose from floppy, hard drive, USB, CD, or Network/PXE. This is how I am guessing an OS would be loaded from the Internet. If it does happen though, it will probably be a while down the road considering you would have to download your OS any time you turn on your computer. I could see it happening though.
I can't seem to find any version for Vista. Has anyone heard anything regarding this? They have a separate version for XP, Server 2003, and so on, but not vista.
FTA: There's a scene Miller is particularly fond of, the one where Luke Skywalker spars with a floating battle droid. Miller stood up and pointed: "I want you to build me some of those."
Why didn't he do that for one of the scenes where they were riding the scooters that hover above the ground. I WANT ONE OF THOSE!
I'm going to have to disagree with this one. I think it depends a lot on the job that the person has. I was almost the opposite from being spoiled as a kid. The only thing that I got from it was that I need to find a nice paying job so I can buy the toys I never got when I was a kid. I think it all depends on how hard people want to look to find the right job. I know people that make half of what I do and they have to work twice as hard. Of course since I'm in IT, so there is a good chance that I might get stuck working an 80 hour week because a server crashed, but I am ok with that. Most weeks though, I'm mainly here to do a few maintenance things and to be on hand in case something crashes. I am lazy sometimes, but I am also a hard worker.
So this is basically like the Matrix. Most people just see a bunch of encrypted characters running across the screen. However, someone who looks at this information every day sees the entire picture. "See, that tells me that there is a hot blonde walking down the street."

Then go buy one!
But what happens when someone with Dementia forgets to give their blood or urine sample?
This just in: Apple is coming out with a new ipod with a hidden switch blade built in. Oh wait, now you can't take your ipod on a plane with you.

It also mentioned that it is going to pass by 10 more times over the course of this century but none are expected to come close to hitting the Earth.
LOOK! Over there! It's GODZILLA!!

I just hope Dell didn't have any part in making it. Ow! My arm's on fire!
I took that picture of my wife sitting in my back yard. As you can see, I haven't gotten around to mowing it lately.

Al Gore "created" the Internet. That does not mean he "controls" the Internet.

Didn't anyone tell them NOT to press the red button?
I heard they make their motherboards out of enriched uranium.
One word: Enema

Of course it can be upgraded to the premium version. There are two easy steps:
1. Sell the core unit on ebay.
2. Buy the premium version.
They were probably waiting until the release of Flight 93, the movie.
I wonder how much the hacked version of the PS3 will go for?
