I'd send that link to my campus tech support, but my department chair might not find it funny! Good one!

Lost in the ether would be the answer to the question?

I got sent the link and the moment I was done watching it, I
posted it. Then I emailed a bunch of people as well. Along
with this one

I made sure I was not drinking any coffee after the first Vista one... My sinus cavity can only take so much caffeine before its revolting, I mean revolts.

"Its a big @55 table..."

HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!!

I started busting up in my cube (and I was warned). People were a lookin at me funny. So I posted it here, sent an email to a bunch of people and then re-played it for the crowd gathered round wondering what was soo funny..

next time I see a video from this person, I might need to heed the warning :^0

D@mn, is that one good as well. Reminds me of Gates, 'Most of the time, your table is just sitting there doing nothing'. Right. And what happens when people start using Surface as an actual table?

Great video, Techman. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

If were working off the pretext of "pond scum", it will be an interesting thing to see tall pillars of algae. If the idea is just "plain old scum", fait accompli: ask certain members of the population to stand very still for a moment. :D
(That was mean. Sorry.)

It was also funny. It's not difficult to see how we humans use humor to deal with our weaknesses. Dissect virtually anything we laugh at, and I think at the heart of it will be one human weakness or another.

edit the usual

by dumphrey

several comments at one point about being able to laugh at anything, as did George Carlin. In many ways, the more horrendous the act, the greater need for humor.

Hence blond jokes.

I figured nobody was looking, or there would have been more posts. I thought it was Hilarious as well.

Now to give this a 'bump' into view again

by tig2

That was so funny that I plan to actually put the link in an
email and send it to people. I don't do that as a rule so that
must mean it's special.

:D

Microsoft Surface to run on Microsoft Vista and we will finally have a product guaranteed to send the customer Crazy and Bankrupt. :x

Now pardon me Boys & Girls I'm off to my workshop to design something new.

I suppose it will have to be [b]CeMeNt[/b] ed to floor so that only the original Purchaser can use it and not return it when it breaks. :D

The new product is coming along quite nicely and only the French Polishing is causing any problems. Anyone know how to French Polish Aluminum? :D

Of course having 2000 Quad Core CPU's, 300 GIG Ram and 800 Terabyte HDD Capacity Computer to run this on almost makes it look as if it may work. Naturally running it as a VM under Debian is the cure to all the existing problems that both Vista & Surface currently have. But by the time that the Bloatware is finished and working I doubt that this machine will be sufficient to actually run the thing. :(

I do have to make a [b]Provisional Correction[/b] the Price Tag mentioned is way too cheap as things currently stand a Retail Price of 10 Billion $ is closer to the finial mark. However Advance Orders are accepted today with a estimated selling price of $10,000.00 however the price is subject to change without notification.

But without the M$ Licenses I could be selling these by the end of the week for a little more than the current projected $10,000.00. French Polishing Extra.

Not bad for a Prototype is it? B-)

Come in start Bidding to be the first to have the ability to Run Surface on a Vista Platform. ;)

[i]All Hardware is Vista & Surface Compatible as stated by Microsoft's Projected Product Specifications.[/i] That is a nonworking 200 MHZ CPU mounted on a Fried 286 M'Board with a 8,000 W Power Supply. :0

Projected running expenses should not exceed 400 Kilowatt Hours per minute so it's a Complete Bargain at whatever price you are willing to pay to be the first to have this Technology. ;\

cause your house to BSOD? Or maybe you will have to press through a ton of UAC messages to watch tv....

by the scummy one

It will cause (depending upon error severity) a green scren, yellow screen, blue screen, red screen, or acid trip multicolor screen.
These error messages will make sure to grab your attention by projecting onto the rooms walls, and ceiling in every room until dealt with.
If the error stays in an error state for more than 30 seconds it will also auto-dail 911 (in the states) or other emergency #'s for your locale.
It will request the fire department, police, and paramedics to simultaneously arrive.
