They speak with psuedo European accents over there. It's likely they're suseptable to the same bouts of mental retardation that the people on the European continant are suffering from.
It's illegal to plan crimes. Say for just the fun of it have some blueprints for making bombs then on the same table have a postcard with the parliment buildings on it. That's not gonna help you at all if you're brought to court. You can say 'well huff huff it's my right to collect whatever information I damn well please, this is one step closer to big brother huff huff'. The cops don't just go searching random computers hoping they'll stumble on some terrorist then they can arrest them. This woman was physically connected to a terrorist plot then when the cops searches her computer, uh oh what do they find? Evidance that links her to islamist terrorist organisations.
It's like if somebody get arrested for attempting to abduct a child from the park and the cops search their computer and find it rife with child porn. 'Yeah.. I know it looks bad officer but the two things have absolutely nothing to do with eachother...'
There are enough dipshits who think Halo 2 is a good game to get some upgrades from XP I imagine that's probably a route Microsoft is going to take.. suddenly every single game they release.. will be taking **FULL** advantage of all Vistas amazing tweaks and shoo shaws that were previously unavailable.

People who think Apple is some wonderful entity that can't be touched in any way shape or form aren't going to buy a Zune player. The bloody Zune isn't even targeted towards Mac users to begin with. The Zune itself isn't compatable with Mac OS. So it's completely reasonable to expect mac users to shun it, even scorn it (hence the article) The very idea that somebody else let alone the fundimentally evil Micro$oft should want to break into a market that Apple's had a monopoly on is unthinkable.
Apple's clearly afraid of the Zune player. They damn well should be.
GPS, or "Global Pest Supression" works on a sonic principle. It was originally invented by the military in an attempt to control mosquito populations in jungle combat scenarios. The actual ability of the system to locate things was a side effect. It only got the nickname "GPS" during a press conference in 1983 when a reported mentioned how the system worked as a sort of "Global positioning system" for insects. The technology had to be later revised after the introduction of insect repellant, and the military was in danger of going bankrupt.
All the Chinese government would need to do to censor any given location would be to put a paper windmill in the area, the. This is a throwback glitch from the original GPS. The military was concerned about harming the South American Wren with their technology so they had the system look for any Wrens in the area before it fired it's main bug killing pulse. A paper windmill has the exact same charactaristics as the South American Wren so when the GPS scans the area it will detect the 'Wren' and declare the zone off limits to pulsing and thus blot it out.
The trouble with China offering free GPS is it's all gonna be censored. Anything the government deems unacceptable won't show up on the GPS device. Things like lakes and rivers will both be blotted out since they are commonly associated with revolution and high volume disobediance. The houses of suspected revolunionaries also won't show up, so they'll have to actually tell friends and relatives directions to their house rather than just let them use GPS to find their way. On the ironic side the government won't be able to come and arrest the revolutionaries since after their houses are blotted out they won't know where they live either.
I used to own a $40 000 camera. I was hailed as one of the greatest photographers who ever lived. People used to hold grand parties in my honor, 'Good sir! take naked pictures of my hot lesbian antics' they would say to me. But I would always give the same reply 'Gentle maiden, thine beauty is of a nature not worthy of my monstrously expensive camera, thou shall have to add several more maidens and perhaps some sort of strap-on apparatus in order to satiate my artistic yearnings' and more oft than not they would oblidge me. Then one day I spilled some spaghetti sauce on the camera and the darn thing broke. I tried to take the thing back to Best Buy but they wouldn't honor the warranty. From that day forward I vowed never to do business with Best Buy ever again.
Man oh man did the camera makers ever see you suckers coming. Lemme tell you a little something about how cameras actually work. The technology for digital cameras hasn't changed since 1994 when they were initially invented. Every year they release new versions of the same old unchanged technology except they add little bits of window dressing on it to make you THINK you're actually buying a new camera. Here's a good indicator of how to tell you're being ripped off. The most expensive cameras are the bulkiest. This is because the camera makers know that stupid people think that bigger means better. EVEN THOUGH humans can create things like flash drives the size of sticks of gum that hold 4 gigs worth of information, a $2000 camera is roughly the size of your head. Tell me how that even works. Also unbeknownst to most people, digital cameras operate on the same principles as cheese. That is to say there's no solid government regulation requiring the information they state on the package to be accurate. So when you buy a 6 megapixel camera you're actually buying a 1 megapixel camera, even though the box states it's a genuine 6 megapixel camera.
This new Digital hoopla shutter speed nonsense is just a brand new way of taking your money. Just reading the article you can tell the fella writing it has no idea what he's talking about. Things like 'less noise' really means 'more blurry' and customizable shutter speed means 'even more blurry'. And when he lists off the types of people who shouldn't buy the camera he's just being a jerk like all photographers are. So if you want my advice I'd reccomend you stay away from digital cameras all together and take up drawing. Pencils are cheap and you can add whatever you want to the picture.
You can't ask me to elaborate on my unfounded opinions. I say things like that when people don't agree with me.
It's funny how stupid you are in that respect.
This is the most idiotic thing I've heard lately. What kind of lunatic thinks its more practicle to invest billions of dollars in a giant space umbrella rather than invest the money in public transit and force people to use it. God almighty.
Envrionmentalists don't actually care about anything except the environment. They only complain about starving children when it helps their one dimensional envionmentalism. They couldn't care less how many people are starving in the world, it's not part of their philosophy to *help* other human beings in any realistic sense.

You can't really compare loyalty to a computer to loyalty to an essentially throw away piece of technology. If you spend $1500 on a computer you're gonna be fairly committed to it. If you spend $200 on an MP3 player with a screwy warranty and a pre-set time of death you're probably gonna get fed up with it after a while.
I mean if my ipod breaks, my options are.
A) Apple's reccomendation; buy a new one from the latest generation
B) Take it into an Apple store wait 3 hours and get it replaced
C) Mail it out to Californy wait 4 weeks to get it fixed and mailed back
Unless you're into photo editing or texturing then JPG's are just fine. Don't go acting all high and mighty just cause you know a few things about how image compression works.
Apparently doing something like a registration process that detects your copy of Windows on a server or some crap like that is a little too complicated for Microsoft. I'm running a legitimate copy of Windows Xp right now but I had to crack it after I put in a new mother board. If that's gonna be the case why the hell should I even bother paying for the software in the first place when I wind up 'stealing' it from Microsoft anyway?
lordy lordy. I spose it's to my disadvantage that I didn't scrutinise over the L1 cache on my case fans, and the serial number on my battery case only has one 0 on it. These are things people need to seriously consider when buying a computer for word processing and HTML programming. Otherwise you won't be able to brag to like minded idiots about stupid crap nobody cares about.
It's sort of refreshing though, to see Bush passing a bill that doesn't involve wire tapping. Throwing curve balls, keeps the lefty nut jobs on their toes. Now they can say 'uh oh! It's just like Nazi Germany, except I still enjoy my freedom to act like an asshole'

Saying that made you stupid
