Please note: I understand you were joking. The missing logic you were speaking of is the dream he has with a unicorn in it, BEFORE he even sees the oragami unicorn. Basically Gaff was telling Deckhard that "I know what dreams they implanted you with," the same way Deckhard told the girl what her earliest memories were.
Additionally, the oragami unicorn represents something that is make-believe. Gaff early in the movie folded a chicken when Deckhard wouldn't come back to the force and was acting like a... chicken. There is some symbolism (albeit far-stretched), the unicorn was made of chewing gum foil: half organic paper, half metal foil. Sybolic of an android (although replicants are entirely organic).
Satellites also take time to get to a target, as they have to be routed and planned. Sometimes is faster to put a plane over the point you want to see than to wait for a satellite.
Since most of this malware attacks windows machines, isn't google helping microsoft more than it's helping linux or apple?
Since morality is defined by the desire to limit human suffering, protecting innocent people who don't know better from malware is always going to be for a greater good. People shouldn't have to get their OS reloaded every few months.
Not running your choice of OS doesn't make them bad, and is a startling simplistic world view. There's no "helping Microsoft" here; they are trying to protect all Internet users. Since those people are using Google search, it's really more like trying to serve their customers better. Since all their customers are Internet users; so ask yourself: what is concern #1 amongst Internet users?
I had a Creative card for my laptop that would not install drivers off the CD because the animated splash screen (!) froze up and told me my version of Quicktime was incompatible. I tried to explore the cd and just find the.EXE file and run it. The splash screen turned out to be part of the driver install (again, !). I downloaded the latest driver from their Web Site which did get the card to work. It was at this point I found out the card had terrible sound quality, much worse quality than the onboard AC97 sound. The card was advertised as better than onboard sound. I returned the sound card and swallowed the restocking fee. From now on I'll use onboard sound or Turtle Beach.
Well in the Penny Arcade post he makes the comment that perhaps they shouldn't have showed the 3D levels because cell shading hasn't been added yet. IMHO this is the correct way to do a comic or cartoon game. The Futurama game definately should have been cell shaded, the drawn out characters looked kind of wierd in 3D. I bet once they get the levels all together it's going to be real cool.
I don't mean to sound trollish about this, but I feel that people who can't use MS Office in a position that requires MS Office are blatanly unqualified for their job. However, they make it IT's problem and use far too many IT resources.
If the end user is within your own organization (ie, not a paying customer) than you should instill in them that it is their responsibility to LEARN to use THEIR PC and do THEIR job.
Every CIO should have a sign above his desk that reads "Failure of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
Well it's capitalism: If hardcore game titles dwindle, a very well run publisher and and developer will come along and see a market that isn't being served and create some titles that will be a big hit. These guys sell a ton of games, as that market segment is in need of it, and other devs will create similar games to cash in on that vibe. If the market gets stagnant or the user base shifts, they'll sell less games and release less titles aimed at serious gamers. At this point the serious gamers aren't getting enough new games and the cycle begins again.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The gaming industry isn't going to die off, but I do agree that the hardcore market is a little soft right now. As a tactical FPS and PC RTS fan, I don't think there were more then 5 titles I really like in 2006. Only two or three do I play nightly: GRAW (PC) and Company of Heroes. However, this year looks different with shiny new consoles and titles on the way.
The Wikipedia article on Supertankers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertanker also states that their fuel efficiency is based on a single large propeller. However they are hard to maneuver and stop because of a supertankers huge mass.
An IT manager wouldn't buy much more bandwidth than his company would be using at any one time, or else he isn't spending his budget efficiently by paying for something "no one will ever use 100% of". The same for processing power in a workstation or a server. If your hardware exceeds your actual needs- you paid too much.
I can just see a future where your phone's processor is so bogged down by an Anti Virus "security suite" that it isn't responsive enough to answer a call in time.

HOORAY! Now that MySpace is dead, our corporate networks will once again be productive. I for one welcome our new Web search overlords.

Yeah, the punchline is all about timing.

Excellent point, not only that but many modern games have a storyline that you want to see to the end.
:(
Imagine if in Metal Gear Solid you never got to see the ending because you got stuck fighting Raven at 80% through the game.

Exactly, because water has a density (in the metric system) of one to one.

The 750GB hard drive had perpendicular recording. The "upgrade" from the 500GB Seagate drive did require a significant technological innovation.

The Internet is not just something you can own, it's not a truck. It's-it's a series of tubes.
Actually, I take that back; it is possible to pwn on the Internet.

QUICK! Better tag it as "itsatrap"!
And to do that you would have to plug it in via USB (not Bluetooth) to a PC.
