Apple couldn't succesfully sue Line 6 - trademarks are all about who was using it first. Obviuosly it wouldn't be too hard for Line 6 to prove they were using the term "pod" long before the iPod came along...
"Some of us do more than play with computers in our parent's basements."
Wow, really? Some of us also have the ability to recognize a joke when they see it.
I was actaully pointing out to the OP that his 99% mark may be a little low...
I know and understand all the uses for a VM environment, yes I am a big geek too. I have been playing around on computers myself since 1981 - it has been a long while since I have seen the basement of either of my parents...
That blast of air was the joke going over your head...
Well, you can catch the R. Kelly video "Piss on You" on Comedy Central....
Or get his *ahem* other video from various dark corners of the internet. I don't want the crappy edited remix either - just the unedited urination on a minor. That's how I like my R. Kelly.
The funny thing is, I can actually remember when MTV only had like, 15 videos total. They would just play the same ones, over and over, day and night..(And the "VJs" - god bless Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson and Martha Quinn) I got cable in 1981 and remember the launch of MTV. Their motto then was "All music videos, all day long". (Remember the astronaut jumping on the moon with the MTV flag?) I honestly can't even remember the last time MTV took a break from such quality programming as "The (Fake)Real World" or "Next" and showed a music video...
Everyone knows that more users will switch browsers if forced to by elitist geeks who condescend to them. I mean, your "average internet user" is highly technical, and will understand their jargon-laden explanations without a problem.
Actually showing them that visually one browser can be a better experience than another is just ludicrous...
Yeah, seems kind of ironic that old Jack is partnering up with the largest gun retailer in the country (Wal-Mart) to stop the spread of video game violence...
"Give him a little time and you'll see that he'll become undistinguishable from his 'character' (pun intended)."
Hey, it's Stephen Colbert, not Arnold Schwarzenegger...
If you have seen anything else with him in it, or things that he has written (Stangers with Candy for instance), you would know that Colbert the person is nothing like the Colbert Report character.
Do you really think all actors become what they act? I mean, DeNiro hasn't shaved his head, started driving a taxi, and blowing people away yet...And I'm pretty sure that while not particularly bright, Keanu knows he's really not in the Matrix...And Chapelle doesn't go around actually thinking he is Rick James, bitch.
The Colbert character is based about 90% on Bill O'Reilly anyways...
"many of these kinds of accidents are caused by human error. If you rely on a safety mechanism to keep your fingers rather than dilligence and common sense, accidents could increase if bad habits developed by a reliance on these devices are applied to the older machinery in the shop or a faulty safety mechanism."
Or to put it another way, "Never underestimate the ingenuity of fools when designing a foolproof system."
"Besides, none of the GTA games come close to the sex and violence of the bible. Babykilling and incest? Check. I want to see Rockstar do a Bible game like GTA, where you can wander around brutally killing and raping anything."
And it's title would be "Killin' and Rapin' for Jesus!"
"Microsoft want you to pay them a monthly fee to get the Microsoft anti-malware stuff. Every obstacle they can toss in the way of cheaper alternatives is (for them) a good thing."
Do you have anything to actually back this up, or is this just your speculation??

Yeah, and Bush already used up his three secret presidential kills....Too bad he didn't save one for Osama...

No big deal...Sarcasm is a little harder to gather from text than a voice...

Well, Bush should be an expert on that. He has fooled us many more times than twice..(or at least tried to and fooled a good chunk of us)

No, slack should be reserved only for members of The Church of the SubGenius..

I can see the article that will be published 6 months from now...
"After months of intense excavating, all that was found was the corpse of Jimmy Hoffa holding O.J.'s Heisman trophy."
Wouldn't it be briliant if this did turn out to be the classic Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler stunt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lawler#.22Feud. 22_with_Andy_Kaufman and he was being paid by Rockstar??
Yeah, seems kind of ironic that old Jack is partnering up with the largest gun retailer in the country (Wal-Mart) to stop the spread of video game violence...
Unlike your brilliantly insightful post...
Why can't he just download the torrent like everyone else that isn't paying for a copy?
I mean, it seems like he is trying to bully Rockstar into giving him a free copy....

Well, he was right. It didn't last 6 months...
Maybe he should have continued with "6 years, 6 decades maybe, 6 generations possibly..."
And in other news....
Global warming doesn't exist
The earth is flat
Microsoft Vista is out and universally loved by all
The check is in the mail
These colors don't run....the world.

Yep, the only time voluntary "safety" devices will be used in businesses is when there is immediate savings of money. Other than that, good luck.
Screw Picocchio, won't someone please think of the HOT DOGS!
Yeah, and if you don't believe it, just google it on MSN or Yahoo....
