I have detailed files

This has got to be a LOT better than Salvation, even with his old ass lumbering around. I'm smelling prequel.

Maybe the water down in Bavaria is still good, where I lived we were warned not to drink out of the tap because of the mercury levels, so I don't know what all this purity clap-trap is all about.

Oh boy.

Lucas pretty much tanked the movies with the prequels, now Disney wants to make sure it's good and buried with EA. There is a great disturbance in the Force.

More than one way to skin a cat I guess...

In the US Army we'd call that "a technique". Not that it's the best fix in the world (tape? c'mon now), but if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

Titanic

They're just rearranging the deck chairs at this point. The band will keep playing to keep people calm, but it's going to sink.

Sounds legit.

The people of Provo (which is not in fact a small city) will benefit from the presence of Google in the long run, despite the cost of having to maintain what they've already built.

Fire sale

Can't wait. When the price drops to 200 bucks USD, I'll be buying one just for shits and giggles.

Junk.

For that price in the states I could buy something that I could upgrade the memory, with far more storage, and have money left over. In fact, I could buy two. I appreciate what Dell is trying to do, but this just rebranded (as in unsold) laptops that they couldn't give away, and I don't care that it's an i7. Not at that price, your mileage may vary.

Very funny. Some commentard is going to come in and flame this later, and that will make it even funnier.

Good for them

Cheers, and keep up the good work.

RE: spring cleaning?

See, that's what I call optimism; It's not a glitch, it's a feature!

How quaint.

Roaming charges. The Brits are worried about the French. It's like the 19th century with cell phones.

Funny

For all the people that claim not to use facebook, they sure are quick to read and comment on an article about it. Don't like it, don't use it, pretty simple.

C'mon, this is Seattle

What are they going to do? Post up nasty blogs about people wearing the glasses? Please.

I wonder...

How long were they flailing about in the control center until "that guy" walked in and just rebooted the system.

Followed with: There, I fixed it!

The terrorists need new cash flow.

Now that Bin Laden is sleeping with the fishes, I suspect that they are in dire need of a new revenue stream.

There's a term for that

A non-doctrinal term used in the US Army applies: Getting Jiggy With It.

So many choices...

I settled on Xubuntu after Kubuntu, and a failed attempt at Ubuntu, as I have a rather older computer. So far, I have no complaints, other than the seemingly unending stream of updates, but that's not always a bad thing. There was a learning curve switching over from XP, but nothing unmanageable.

I'd really like to try out Mint on my wife's lower-spec laptop after reading all the comments. Making a convert out of her will probably be more difficult though...

Nicely done! Nice story.

No one charges for an operating system

That's an amazing observation. So computers run on Rainbows, Unicorns, Glitter and Sunshine that no one pays for?

What fantasy world do you live in Asay? Did all of your precious Apple products come with an unpaid for OS? Nope, you paid top dollar. Maybe if you buy the new iPad, they'll let you take a ride on that ugly-ass yacht.

Irony

The same people that are eviscerating a movie that has yet to be made are the same folks that will pony up the dough to go see it in the theater, just to tell everyone how hard it sucks.

Those poor people

First Godzilla now this?

Curious...

I can't wait until the Dutch Army comes to try to collect those taxes.

This is a first

Waited until the end to promote Apple. Maybe they'll swoop in and fix this cloud thingy? The CLOUD is snake oil, and if Apple goes whole hog into it, that will just be the official stamp that it isn't a real solution. Go cash your fucking check, because you must be one of their paid shills.

This is shocking.

I thought they were using smog to camouflage their troops. Oh dear.

Really Symantec?

The hue and cry from the likes of you? Bitch please.

Too little too late?

To me it seems that the market is already saturated with tablets that work, and don't need an MS brand on the OS to sell the product. I'm sure at some point in time the folks in the headshed at MS thought that if they wait for the technology to catch up with their OS, they'd be printing money, but that doesn't seem to have happened, and the window of opportunity has all but closed.

Good for them for offering an alternative, that's the nature of business, but a wag of of the finger at them for trying to jump on the bandwagon long after it's gone.

They don't have anything better to do?

People scoffed at the Wright brothers too.

25,000 Glocks

Great, so the officers and senior NCO's that will likely never have to pull pistol will be issued them, and the poor joes on the ground will have to use the old equipment. Brilliant plan. No wonder this god-awful war has been going on for so long.

ROTM indeed.

I LOL'd.
