I was thinking about marketing terms and mottos for Windows XP and these are the best I could come up with;
WindowsXP – What do you want to rent today.
WindowsXP – Featuring Auq— er, I mean Luna
WindowsXP – Fischer Price Consumer Release 1 SP12
WindowsXP – It will eXPlode onto your computer. (literally)
WindowsXP – Xperience Crashes
WindowsXP – Now with iPicture for your porn.
WindowsXP – Playing catch up, again.
oh well, this just got boring….
A Palestinian bus driver plowed into a throng of young Israeli soldiers and civilians at a crowded bus stop near Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning, killing eight of them, injuring about 20 and transforming a routine rush hour into a tableau of carnage.
If you voted for Pud of FuckedCompany on Women.com, he’s won. Yipty-frickin-do.
Kansas has struggled with this issue in the past. At least they are making a little headway. What scares me is that other states are considering doing away with evolution.
“Kansas is one of several states, including Arizona, Alabama, Illinois, New Mexico, Texas and Nebraska, where school boards have attempted to take evolution out of state science standards or to de-emphasize evolutionary concepts.”
I jumped on Erasing.org today, and found that its author has encountered a little cyberplaigarism… Take your time, click on the link, and check it out… He even took a screenshot of it and wrote a blow-by-blow replay and commentary on what was stolen. The person who did it has to be a reader, and would have to see what happened… and if the author didn’t check his referrer logs, would probably never known about it. Pretty scary that someone can do this so easily. But I guess we’ve all seen it with k10k and Kiiroi…
You know, once when I was in art school, this jerk that nobody liked stole a Playboy ad and stole it as his own. He was kicked out, only to return 3 quarters later. He was mocked oh-so-badly.
By the way, if you’ve gone to Contagent lately, and can’t get in because your resolution is too low, then I’m with ya. I’ve already voiced my concern with them about this. Hopefully, we’ll see it changed soon.
It’s this kind of thing that makes me miss California… and reminds me how boring Denver really is.
Here’s what I understand about CA:
1. The energy companies have NOT been deregulated, it’s the companies that produce and sell energy to those companies (PG&E and Edison).
2. The deregulation affects the energy companies like this: They have to pay more for energy. Lots more. But California law dictates that these energy companies cannot pass the same ridiculously high rates on to consumers (to an extent).. hence a: the lack of energy in CA due to the energy companies not being able to afford it from those that produce it, and b: higher energy bills, despite lack of energy.
So… the problem stems from those producing the energy having the freedom and audacity to charge whatever the hell they want, and the companies that buy from them being legally bound to not charge nearly as much as they pay for it. So had the sector not EVER been regulated in the first place… that might have helped, but now deregulation IS where all these problems come from. I think actually that the real problem is that PG&E (or at least SDG&E) made a choice earlier to not produce the energy they sell. If that CA law stating that electricity cannot be charged over a certain amount, the problem would still be around, because consumers would have insane bills (like $600/month), which they wouldn’t be able to pay, forcing the energy-sellers to fall deeper into debt anyhow. So I feel that deregulation really is the source of this problem, if only indirectly… by allowing those with the power (no pun intended) to be greedy fucks.
This story is about AOL/TimeWarner buying Apple…. cough **bullshit** cough… Anyway, he starts it off with the following warning:
BEFORE YOU CLICK on your online broker to snatch up Apple shares, hold on. There is no reason to believe this deal is in the works.
I for one would sell *all* my shares the instant AOL decided to buy Apple…
Also, I dont think anyone is going to go “snatch up” AAPL stock because of this guys “what if” editorial.
