his mind is not for rent, to [any] god or government. - Rush
I've searched everywhere, and I can't find any credible attribution of this quote to Limbaugh. Wait... does this have something to do with that book they banned from my school?
Here, Mr. Troll, chew on this.
I'll have to concede though... this doesn't prove Bush is an idiot. It is *possible* that he's actually smarter than Hawking, but for some reason he wants us to think he's an idiot.
In a few months, if we are lucky, we will know the truth.
Correction: In 50 years, if we are lucky, we will know the truth. Doesn't anyone else think it's a bit odd that an event with such obvious echoes of 911 happens within two days after Lieberman lost the primary because of his stance on the war??? 21 arrests? Planes? On their way to America? It's all a bit too coincidental.
I RTFC, btw, and didn't see anyone else picking this up. Apologies if this is redundant.

The home editions are a resource hog. The enterprise edition (at least of mcafee) has a very small footprint and is lightning fast. Mcafee should consider using the same build on their home editions.
We're using McAfee VirusScan 8.0. If by "small footprint" you mean installation coincides with a sudden, lasting rash of virtual memory errors on 2 Ghz desktop machines with 512mb of RAM, sure. Not to mention the fact that it's pretty much useless against spyware, which is a bigger resource problem for us than viruses, and even trojans are often requiring manual intervention to remove. It's no worse than Trend was, I'll grant you, but it's not so good you should be giving it free advertising. One of my home machines with AVG, Windows Firewall, and SpywareBlaster has historically been more secure (read: never compromised) than my work laptop, which has been compromised at least twice from behind our corporate firewall... and I'm not even in sales. Though it does seem to have a pretty decent boot time.
Plus that most companies (I doubt if there are many home users tunning W98 as there main OS) are using W98 because some software demands it. There is a lot of specialized (custom) software around that might never been ported to a later Windows version.
Except that XP has 98 emulation, so there's really no good excuse for businesses. And yes, there are a ton of home users running Win98 as their main OS. Try asking your average user what operating system they run. They will look at you blankly, or maybe tell you that they are running Windows 97 with Office 98. If they even know the difference between Windows and Office. Which most don't. If the average user still has a system from that time period, and it (somewhat miraculously) hasn't completely crashed yet, they are still running Windows 98.
Of course, the only explanation for this, based on that fool Einstein's happy little equation that I could have dream't up in my sleep, is that "empty" space is not so "empty," and the energy of "empty" space is, in fact, the energy of the Aether.
I'm sure that Seagate will include some kind of sensor in the reservoir, so when all the lube is gone, the hard drive stops writing and only reads. That way you won't lose 1.5TB of data... which would suck
Right. You'll just suddenly have an inoperable system. Presuming of course that your OS is running on that hard drive. Still not a great situation. Of course, it doesn't really matter because your house already caught on fire during the superheating process.

Corporations have long been treating consumers like sheep. It's a small wonder that they haven't started publishing fake newspapers yet.
Have you been sleeping under a rock? Haven't you seen this?
As long as consumers keep treating corporations like shepherds, they have no right to expect any other sort of treatment.

What a coincidence! I would like to see Barack Obama as President, but I don't think it will happen with George Bush in office.
You were such fools to doubt me.

I've noticed this too. But chicken or egg? Is it because more sites are optimized for IE than Firefox, perhaps?
I think there must be more in this. He was probably parked in front of thsir shop, downloading porn and masturbating in public.
Wait... that's illegal? Oh, shit!
Zzzzip.
Operator: "911, what is your emergency?"
Coffee Jockette: "Um, yeah, I work at a coffee shop, and there's this guy, um... sitting in his car outside, using our wireless connection."
Operator: "I'll dispatch police immediately to your location."
Operator gets location from caller, dispatches police. Headset beeps indicating new call.
Operator: "911, what is your emergency?"
Child's Voice: "My mommy's hurt. She's not breathing."
Operator: "It's not nice to prank call 911. Don't call unless you have a real emergency." Click.
Operator puts feet up on desk, hits "Not Ready" on phone, and lights up a joint.
Supervisor walks by.
Super: "Good work on that wireless piggybacker, Stuart. I'd like to talk to you later about the new lead position we have opening up."
Seriously. WTF?
