I would like to request followers for my goal of becoming Supreme Ruler. In my first 30 days as ruler it will load all lawyers and illegal immigrants onto giant catapults and sent them all flying over the boarder ensuring that all jobs here are only for the citizens here. This will also end numerous problems with the RIAA and MPAA. I will also build a giant prison in Antartica where I will sent all capital offenders. There they will mine the ice and send it to Mars for teraforming.
I'm all for anything that will stop illegal immigrants from coming in, including getting rid of their jobs by having machines do it. I might be wrong about them as a whole, but from my experience with the illegal immigrants is that they are a drain on the welfare system and a hazard on the road driving due to the fact that they do not have legal driver's licenses. I have no problems with immigrants if they a) come here legally, b) do not come here to be another looser on welfare (we have enough capable workers here sucking up welfare that maybe we should deport), c) pay your taxes (to help pay for the legit people on welfare and the few loosers that haven't been deported), and d) learn the fu@#~%& language.
It was a good thing that Enterprise was canceled when it was. I only wish it was sooner. The inconsistency with established times lines from the other series and the fact that they explained it all with time travelers is a joke. That show should of died at episode 3 when I stopped watching.
As for BSG, it is a story that has already been written out. Just look at the previous version. Unless the writers do something more creative than put skin on Cylons then the show is going to end next season or the season after that.
Are they going to bring "The Screen Savers" back too? I know they have the "Attack of the Show," but that cr*p is nothing compaired to TSS. And while we are going to bring good things back from TechTV, why not Fresh Gear and Tech Live?
Wow, you're doing better than me. My ISP claims to have 56K, when its reall 33.6. Unfortunately, with the small-time telco I have I'm only connecting at 28.8 or 14.4 most of the time.
Right now, a vending machince that had $5 linux on it would be a godsend. I've been having to spend several weeks just to download one iso.
How any years of others work was undone when we discovered that the world was round or that the Earth was not the center of the universe?
Sure, the current laws of physics today allows me to have things that seem impossible years ago like the computer I'm typing on right now. But those laws are based on only our current understanding of our little corner of the universe.
Who is to say down the road, our decendants won't be laughing at us and our "primative" science as we laugh at our ancessors that thought the world was flat?
Actually, if you really want to increase boot time load Win 98 on a 486SX25 with 16MB of ram. Then load Office, and Norton, and a bunch of task-tray doohickies. It might take a few days to boot, especially if you have one of those hard drive controllers that has a seperate bios.
If we're going to rename planets, why not do it the easy way. Name them Sol (after the sun) and the number they are from the sun. That'll make us Sol III and Mars Sol IV. Doing it that way might also make it easier to remember how many planets there are since some people don't seem to be taught it in school anymore.
Instead of blocking websites, which could lead to abuse, why not just sue the company that the spammers are advertising? That way, it'll become too expensive to have spammers spam or the company will leave the spammer out high and dry to protect themselves.
Wow! I honestly didn't know that Kansas could say it was advance on anything. I live there and still have to deal with 33.6 dial up, a phone company that charges to use touch tone, and several computer users that think the PC is a "magical device."
You don't sound like you're trying to take a position for or against piracy. It sounds like to me that you're attacking Linux and claim that Linux users are pirates.
We also know that warez trading is prevalent among Linux-run IRC servers
I know several people who warez trade using Kazaa runnining on Windows.
Quit stealing source code: SCO, Windows 2000.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know there is not one line of SCO or Windows (9x, NT, 2000, or XP) code in Linux.
Quit trading in illegal MP3s and Divx movies.
Mp3 and Divx trading happens on almost every OS. I've seen users from Windows, Linux, and MacOS all trade mp3s and movies.
I do agree with your last statement though. And definitely start paying money for your games! People should get paid for their product. But I can admit that there has been a few times that I downloaded a warez copy of software to try it out or because I was strapped for cash at the time. But I did buy a valid copy if I liked it and saved the money for it.
I've had several PCs that had hardware problems that wouldn't allow them to boot a knoppix CD, but DOS loaded with no problems. The reason is because knoppix wants to load device drivers and DOS doesn't. I have saved alot of data in those situations by booting to DOS and dumping files to floppies.
Just because something is new, doesn't mean it is always better.
I don't see floppys ending anytime soon. Sure a cd or a thumb drive can hold more data, but you need burning software to write to the cd and usb drivers to access the thumb drive. If you are trying to diagnose your pc or recover data and all you can boot into is dos, how is a thumb drive or a cd-r going to help you?
Is MS going to charge for the game and to play the game? Most MMORPG look interesting to me and I would like to try some, but I don't like the idea of paying for the game in the store then paying more to play. If the game is a pay-to-play one, then I should be able to download it online for free.

Actually, MS has only secured the patents on VFAT and FAT32, not FAT16. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table
But since they haven't touched either since ME, they might of let the patents expire and both of them could be free for anyone to use now.

I keep hearing of things that Vista can't do. So, can anyone tell me what Vista does besides take more system resources to run than XP?
Are they going to bring "The Screen Savers" back too? I know they have the "Attack of the Show," but that cr*p is nothing compaired to TSS. And while we are going to bring good things back from TechTV, why not Fresh Gear and Tech Live?
So instead of AOL coasters we'll now be receiving AOL kleenex?
more like AOL toilet paper
Or you can get a cross-cut shredder and have AOL confetti.

I don't know the software, but my guess is that you may be using the wrong slash. *nix uses /, while Windows and DOS uses \.

2. There are too many addresses. There are 16.7 million addresses per square metre of the earth's surface, including the oceans. This is overkill.
Apparently you haven't learn from the mistakes of people like Bill Gates. Remember when he said you'll never need more than 640K of RAM?

Why are you nervous? Think of the implications! We could stamp out terror with a single patch! United Nations XP, Service Pack 1, here we come!
Would never work. The Service Pack would cause the tanks to stop and the planes to crash because some Al-Qaida script kiddy found a security hole.
Unless you're going to live in or around the Kansas City area, Kansas is pretty much a dead end in tech jobs.
The object is my fault. Its the Windows PC that I launched into space a few months ago.

I think this is a learning experience. We all can learn new languages to cuss the Blue Screen of Death in.
For those users, I usually give them a StupidaMouse to start with and work my way up from there.

I haven't rebooted XP in months either. I stopped booting into it months ago because it kept crashing whenever I had to do real work.
