They certainly are competing with Google on response time.
They just got confused on the criteria... they failed to see that the SHORTER the response time, the BETTER. That's because Microsoft thinks big.
In other news, Microsoft gets into microprocessor industry and will release the biggest computer chip of all time. It will be, according Mr. Gates, "totally awesome".
Small children are naturally scared of spiders, snakes and the like.
Well, I've seen on a documentary that fear of snakes is cultural. A baby isn't born with fear of snakes, it acquires it from the environment. If the baby's mother show fear of snakes, the baby acquires this fear instantly and forever
Although, I don't have a list of which fears are instinct and which are acquired from culture. I could just remember this one.
I don't get this moderation system... I think I made a pretty gook joke and my score is 1. You just wrote "LOL" and your score is 2. I don't want to play this game anymore...
Ok, I saw the video and I have to admit this machine is pretty impressive. But do they need to kick the poor thing all the time? Isn't it enouth to take it to rough places?
It can carry 30% of it's own weight? They should make a robotic ant instead!
Besides, two-stroke petrol engines are too noisy, an enemy patrol could spot you from a kilometer away. And besides again, two-stroke engines pollute more than four-stroke engines (not really a thinh to think about in war time, anyway).
Sony claims the machine is 35 times more powerful than the PlayStation 2, and has implied that the machine may be capable of nearly twice the performance of the Xbox 360.
My question is: will it have any game that can provide me some fun time?
The keyword is discipline. Without discipline you wouldln't pay attention to the class even without a computer. When I was in college, one day, the class was so boring that some colleagues and me were way in the back of the classroom making a "who holds his breath longer" contest. Sure, if we had Zelda we would have much more fun and disturb much less the class, but that wouldn't make much difference on how much we would pay attention to it.
Why not a laptop? Why should one climb a mountain, young padawan? I used to be one of those who think laptops are not indispensable, but one nice day I bought one, just for kicks. Now I just don't think I could "downgrade" to a desktop again. Sure, desktops have lots of advantages, like easier and cheaper upgrades, bigger screens and HD's, but for my needs this little one I have here is wonderful. When I'm tired of reading/working in my bedroom I can just move to the living room. I even take it with me to the kitchen when it's my turn to cook! You can even take it to the bathroom to not having to stop your reading/working/gaming when nature calls (shame on me, I admit I do that). To define it in a short sentence, notebooks are like microwave ovens, you can live pretty well without one, but as soon as you get one, you can't live without it anymore. Same with cellphones, maybe...
15 pounds per month just to not being able to listen the songs after you unsubscribe? Wouldn't it be better to just listen the radio? Even better, for 15 pounds a person could buy (and own) 26 songs from iTunes.
Well, I'm not an iTunes client, I don't even have a MP3 player (I work from home, I have my computer to listen to music and I'm kind of happy with the CD's I already own), but I would never subscribe a service like this one the parent post describes. Ever in my life.
PolyStation "a gag gift"? Sounds like a wonderful gift! Totally cost-effective and perfect to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NES. Call me old, but I still love NES games...

Same to me when I searched for "google"...
"the difference between medication and poison is the dose"
That reminds me a quote that I, unfortunatelly, can't remember the source: "the only intuitive interface is the nipple, everything else is learnt".
If I'm not mistaken, the B in VB still means BASIC, which is an acronym for " Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code".
Can you see it right over there? Beginner's
Of course, with this logic (or lack of), you might think that Java is a language for grown-ups, because they "like their coffee black".

Ladas are license-produced Fiats? Oh, my... I'll never trust Soviet Union again! Oh, wait...

All your red spots are belong to us.
With all those rings? What a fag!
PS3 will be very powerfull if it will be able to "find and replace" Chuck Norris!!!
Wouldn't that be Chuck Norris?

How big would this capacitor be? (A big capacitor? Sounds like a bad Batman movie...)

Still, more expensive than iTunes...
Actually Napster provided much more music (and quality) when it was pirate!

And where would be the fun in this?
