Not by the Chinese, apparently...

"If only someone would create a vomit repellent road surface"

Be careful what you wish for - a vomit repellent road surface would bounce the stuff right back at your face. Of course, if one wasn't inclined to go puking in the street, one could have fun watching others do this...

Re: Translation: We lost the floppy disk we boot off of.....

Or they forgot to turn on the 14.4K external modem...

Re: Simplify

Microsoft is an American company, hence American spelling.

Re: I give to Ballmer the Native American name "Crashing Cloud"

"Dances with Monkeys" would be more appropriate.

Stop licking the garage floor!

There has to be a way to manage this by sharks with frikkin laser beams.

"what is the point of life without bacon, ham, and sausage?"

Less time eating those leaves you with more time for radio-controlled monster trucks. Maybe?

Re: the majority of people that use computers to work with

What serveral poeple have been pointing out (not just on this thread) is that we no longer need bigger/faster/more complexticated thingy-bobs to get stuff done in an increasing number of use cases.

Re: Mono

Actually, it's Spanish for monkey. Miguel De Ick names all his projects for monkeys.

Bonobo: a type of monkey

Mono: see above

Ximian: a play on simian

The Gnome logo is a monkey footprint

As I've been told by a Mexican-American that chango is Spanish for "black monkey" perhaps we should steal a phrase from the movie Desperado and rename Gnome 3 "Piss Warm Chango". What the drug dealers did to the beer in that movie is what the Gnome devs did to Gnome.

Not sure what year, but it'll be around dinnertime...

Re: And you're stuck behind a bicycle?

"a) Cyclists are not allowed on Freeways (assuming US)"

In South Dakota bicycles are permitted on the shoulders of interstate highways. But South Dakota has more cattle than people.

Andrew needs to switch to decaf.

Re: But look who they are up against...

I don't mind gay monogamus couples getting the same perks from the state that straight married couples get but the Supreme Court should not consider "business imperatives" when deciding matters of law.

Re: Shanghaied!

"Is this the world we want our children to inherit?"

Nope, that's why I bought Mars. Just sent NASA an eviction notice...

Re: Is everyone connected to music industry retarded?

No, just the smarter ones...

How a bout a black vegetable?

The only way a man can win an argument with his wife is to have an aneurysm and die.

Re: No touch, but more of everything else, for about the same money

"I could be wrong though, and touchscreen tech could be the future for all computers..."

Got the wife an Asus Eee Pad Transformer with keyboard last week (Best Buy was throwing the keyboard in for free). Touch and keyboard is kind of nice IMO.

Think I'll pass on the Chromebook, though. More than twice the price for the Eee Pad gets you a little bit bigger screen, 1/3 the battery life and a double helping of Google creepiness.

No.
