It has been attributed to Gates since 1990s at the very least (definitely pre-95; I think it was an supposed to be a ~83-85 comment). About two years ago some bloke tried to find out the actual speach/conversation Gates was supposed to have said it in but nothing could be found in the lecture. Other recordings were searched but no one came up with any hard and fast evidence that Gates had been so unperceptive. It then became the conclusion the joke was referring the hard limit originally built into Dos (and the bios I believe though that could have just been the hard drive size limited to 540Mb) that was blamed on Gates... not that Gates had said so.
It wasn't planned obsolescence as Dos 4,5 & 6 (possibly 3) all had tricks to get around the memory limit. Actually I think all Windows up till the nt series had the limit still there just 'hidden' with dos.
Why? what benefits can.rpm give that even come close to.deb? Having used both up until 2 years ago I moan at the though of having to touch another.rpm. Pure pain in the butt.
It is actually correct. The plurality of 'their' is only one function of aforementioned word. In other dialects of English (One is presuming the critic is an USA 'English' speaker), it is also an impersonal pronoun for use where the gender is unknown, undefined and/or unimportant to the reader.
You could always try steering out of the road. Why do you *have* to be in front? Are you going to get there significantly faster than the car behind you? My anecdotal tests have convinced me I can let 10 - 20 cars over take me and still not lose any noticeable time getting where I want to go.
Yeah... thats true. That or the roadside reflectors would the method of cheaply making autonomous vehicles. Want to drive yourself? Then go to the driving track.
Gah... why does everyone try to lower the standard for communication or culture. You take the cussing, spitting broads, I'll take the considerate (calculating?) well-mannered women. I like being around people who try to improve their manner, speech and character.
1 error on average difference. Come on. We have non-professional people adding and editing on a whim averaging one error more than a group of educated researchers who's job requires they demonstrate reliability and trustworthiness. I'm going to go back to using it as an additional source, and aggregator of info, on top of other sources. Sheesh...
Oh I realise that errors are not all equal in consequence, but what makes you so sure that Wikipedia's one extra error is more significant than the other three? Consider that those 'checkers' would have been similarly trained as the Britannica people.
I think they need to do buildings first. Maybe not to ward off on-coming traffic, but for triangulation. If buildings like the towns city hall were to pipe up and give out their latitude/longitude, it shouldn't be too hard to remove the unreliable gps from the equation. The more buildings of significance were to participate the easier it would be to create maps based on that town/city. Then cars can locate themselves and others. If 75% of cars have local positioning system, then it becomes mandatory.

Try supernerd.com.au Im reasonably happy with them... and they shape rather than bill excess.
20km from CBD is a town block.

How about with "~"?
In the original post you were an obnoxious git, now you are pathetic. You really should have done that anonymously.
Yet back in days of Redhat 6, Windows ran faster in a virtual machine than it did on the bare metal...

Thats okay, the other half don't understand it.
Because each site could have a different name?
More like; "Once bitten, twice shy. Twice bitten, thrice disbelief.
What the hell is Tiffany and why should we care what number it is?

Its british? I thought it was USA-ish along with 'google it'. Gah I caught myself saying it the other day.
Bloke, we were cheering two weeks in Australia until we realised Howard was going to support Bush
Or it could be that Australians are actually doing things of significance... Aren't the persons mentioned ... US Citizens?
such is life...

Yes, it has nothing to do with bikers riding between traffic lines or other traffic infringements at 10 - 20 % above the speed limit...
* note you may not do this, but a large portion of riders do.

Security would be a nightmare though.
Is it just me and my sarcasm detector is giving a false positive from the gp?
Thanks... :)
