They had a good article this morning on the Scion xB, also mentioned the Honda Element (of course) and Nissan's JDM Cube.

The interesting thing however, was that half of the story seemed to be about how (they claim) "JDM" is a new and fashionable slang term commonly used nowadays for anything coming from Japan. Now I know it's been bandied around here for quite a while (who was it with the JDM wife? ), but seeing a factual explanation in the Journal on how "a young, Japanese woman could be 'so JDM'" just makes me pause...

 

did WSJ ever review the not so popular micro$oft programming language - VISUAL EBONICS++?

it was reasy to learn but not compatible anything else...

it was released for a few hours and then pulled away from the shelves, never to be seen again...

 

que?

 

**room goes silent**

Yes...I'm...not quite sure what to do with that one either...

 

i saw this a long time ago from a tech related publication where the back column describe tech secrets from various sources within the companies. it was a comedic column

http://www.infoworld.com/columnists/robert.html

back then was when EBONICS made out of the playgrounds and into the national news and stuff.

this column had that bit:

visual ebonics: very EASY (i mistyped there) to learn but not compatible with anything else.

it was funny then and since the original post was talking about slang and stuff, i figured i throw that in...

i figured wrong...

 

It's OK, A for effort. I have singlehandedly killed off threads with less of a logical contortion than that, so you're in good company here

 

i was cracking up.. haha but i have been wrestling with a NT4 server and RRAS and PPTP modules there are there but not loading and cant be reregistered using regsvr32 for the last 2 days.. haha i hate ms there crap..

one of my favorite "rules of thumb"......"when all else fails.......format.....and reinstall...." <shrug> some computers just cant be helped! LOL
