it's far nicer for users to right click the network connection and select "Repair".
Oh, you mean that option that takes five minutes to tell me that the dhcp server is down. I don't really care too much for that "feature".
You can whine and moan about how people need an elaborate GUI all you want. It's just not true. I don't think GNOME has a major problem with resources, and my parents are just fine with the usability of Windows 98 and XP. I personally find a GUI helpful at times, but Vista is going to be nothing more than "MS Dress-Up Party". Next they'll bring out "Windows Horse Adventures!"
Hell with the attitude you have why would we have ever wanted more than text based graphics?
You're right! Everything would be so much faster if it were all text based! Could you imagine the speed you could attain if you didn't have that bothersome GUI hogging the system resources!?
Seriously though, you don't need a gui or accelerated graphics for everything.
The latest release of Konqueror (3.5.2) does not incorrectly show scrollbars, so it "actually" passes.
Could you please say that Konqueror 3.5.2 no longer shows the scrollbar that prevented it from passing the Acid2 test? Double negatives confuse us all.
and if the next iteration of the Xbox or Playstation can rip off some of Nintendo's good ideas, I think we'll all be better for it.
You're obviously not a nintendo fangirl (or fanboy for that matter). If you really were, you wouldn't want to see an inferior product displace the original through pure brute force market-share.
And no matter what sony may say, they tacked that crap motion sensing on at the last minute.
Ok. I didn't vote for the turd. I voted for the douche.
Did it matter? No.
Do I care what you think? No.
Do I care what happens to your personal information once it's in my government's hands? No.
Would I like your government to threaten war against mine? Maybe.
I will not apologize for my government. The fact that it isn't a democracy (representative republic for the idiots with delusions) doesn't bother me anymore. The fact that there will never be another revolution due to the fact that they have perfected their techniques of control for over 100 years doesn't bother me.
What does bother me is the fact that they are not forward about the fact that they want to establish a world-wide empire through any means.
Oh, welcome to your American Empire. Welcome your dim-witted overlords!
Oh yes, I was disturbed beyond repair as a child by seeing a pair of boobs.
I think we have greater concerns than worrying about what children see on the internet. What we should be doing is teaching them how to process that information. Much of that material sends mixed messages, leading children to emulate bad behavior. Banning it does nothing but put a glorious halo on it that children will be drawn to look. Instead of glorifying it, maybe you should put it on display and make your feelings PUBLICLY known. That way they can learn by YOUR example.
And those breasts I refered to earlier, I was breastfed as a child.
I think he meant that sometimes other people may seem so strange to us that we feel threatened, thus provoking that fight reflex that keeps provoking wars.
Of course, there are other, much better, reasons, like greed and insanity. Sometimes simple fear can cause, or deter, a conflict.
Of course, with an android, it has to look so real that it couldn't be human, like American models.

It's not a delay. It's a feature.
They call it "marketing"

So if a tree falls in a forest, how loud do you suppose it has to scream before the lumberjacks stop killing it?
Google says:
"A unit of length equal to the distance that light travels in one year, approximately 5.8 trillion miles."
(search term: define: light-year)
I think that's a yes.
Hurry up and get packed! We're wasting jet fuel and nukes!

You foolishly assume the Wii will have that many games worth buying in its lifetime.
Not if it's true.

Since we're all predicting, I'll go with the outlying prediction.
$1,000,000USD
I learned that in a history class. No civics or CivII involved. Unlike other americans, I paid attention to history.
I'm a Nintendo fangirl through and through

You're both wrong! I made the moon! Muhwahahahahahaha!
And to think you could have gotten it right.
In Soviet Russia, BioDiesel makes YOU!
OK, can I have my Nobel price now?
$1,000,000,000,000 ought to be good enough for me.
We're just calibrating for Vista.

Welcome to reality. Have a nice day.
If they have anything resembling 3, then they need the CRAB BATTLE!
On Iced Earth, no one can hear you scream.
