I'd reconsider that...

There are some parts of those buildings you really don't want to go.

I would like to have seen the eyebrow raising when the subjects proceeded to "hump the kill."

"Doctors, I think we're on to something..."

Yeah, right? One thing that drives me crazy is when people touch my screen. Usually it's an accident, but I still have to clean it off. No worries; spilled milk.

Come to think of it, for me a touch screen interface makes about as much sense as a milk-based drink that you serve by pouring on the floor.

Yeah by the title of the article, I was imagining something like this:

... but, you know... a little sleeker.

Tiny touchscreens? Meh indeed.

While IE is our "company standard", they don't care if you prefer to use another browser.

However! Most of our corporate intranet applications will ONLY work on IE.
( *cough poorly written proprietary crap cough*)

So now with Chrome infecting my IE, I have no way to access vital corporate apps.

There is only one type of consumer who should be interested in this: corporate users who do not need IE for specific webapps, and whose companies will not let them install other browsers, yet will let them install plugins.

How many of them can there be??

A friend of mine would kill one roach, and stick it on a toothpick (or a "pike" as he called it) and stood it up on a bottle-cork at the entrance to a hole -- as an "example to the others!" He swore it worked.

I just thought he was crazy. Apparently he was on to something.

Can it play Halo?

No?...Just another OS?

Back to Windows, then.

... to show them how to use technology to communicate. They can even borrow our hardware.

What would be the US govt reaction if some other country provides a way for US citizens to access content that is illegal in the US ?


Like what? Kiddie porn? Sadly, I don't think any one is having trouble accessing that, or any other illegal content here in the States.

You might get busted if it's found on your hard drive, or if you chat up Chris Hansen.

But (so far) access to illegal materials hosted in foriegn countries it is not restricted. That's why the filtering out of gay content (or ANY content) from our own efforts at enabling free speech overseas only serves to stab our efforts in the back.

Of course, legacy apps often come with legacy hardware - and we all know how fun it is to operate legacy hardware through virtualized ports.

Security dongles anyone?

Obviously, everyone who can virtualize has already done it. There are a dozen solutions to virtualize XP into Vista, XP into Linux, 98 into XP, etc etc etc.

I don't understand why people think this XP embedded into W7 is so new, or why people are so shocked by the issues and limitations - which have been around for years. Boggles the mind.

I did this exact same thing, plugged an old Dell lappy into my television as a DVD-player, Netflix client, ROM player. I just spent half the day yesterday playing Dark Wizard on a 42" LCD... looked like crap but I still love that music.

Highly recommend wireless mouse & keyboard.

Really. How dense can you be?

... that not only are our targets gathered together in a few websites, but they actually post how they feel! I can't tell you how many times we wondered if we were freaking them out or not. I mean... so we replaced the lightbulb in the fridge with a broken one, and then switched it back the next day. But did they even notice?? Or did we nearly break our necks on the fire escape for no f***ing reason?

These sites make our jobs even more worthwhile. Keep up the good work!

"I'm the best lookin' man in the Middle Ages, my my my!" I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cave Dwellers - my number one fav. ----------- "He triiiied to kill him with a fork lift... Ole!"
