Children are sent to school to get a well rounded education. That means they should be taught both sides of the debate. Science has its teachings and so does religion. Schools are becoming progressively liberal and biased. Teachers should be presenting both sides of the debate and limited to social studies only.
What ever you do with them, it should make money to at least cover the power consumed and depreciation expense. If not, you may want to consider selling them. I know I wish I were in your position because I could the money.
Sad to say, I am a Comcast user.
Comcast has long since forgotten what Common Carrier means. Take the BitTorrent filtering scandal. Now this? Typical.
Comcast: F OFF!!!
I don't care what Google wants to take pictures of. I think it is dead wrong. It is an invasion of privacy in my view. I don't like satellites taking detailed pictures of my property and publishing it to the word. It seems just damn invasive. I think Google Earth and Street View should be shutdown and taken off line FOREVER! This is coming from a guy who thinks government should be minimal at best, but this is an infringement on my privacy and the law should take action against these offenders and any alike. Government should also be limited in using these privacy infringing devices as well.
Nice toy, but that is all it is. I will never trade my Mosin Nagant 91/30, M44, Kar98, SKS 59/66, Savage 64F, Savage 120A, or any others for a stun gun. If I have to shoot, it is to kill, otherwise I use another tool.
The only reason I want to save energy is because it costs money. I don't drive a small car because I like it, but because it is not $100 per tank. Global warming is a hoax; just something the liberal media has conjured up by twisting the facts around. If you put the time and effort into the research, you will see exactly what I mean. Polar bears are dieing off because their population is at an all time high and their food supply has remained the same. P.S. they are not friendly and cuddly toy bears!
Great. Develop third world countries so they can compete for resources with us on a global scale. Now we can pay $5+ for a loaf of bread because the entire globe is overpopulated; with food an energy more scarce than it is today. Similar to the use of corn to create ethanol. Food that could be put into starving people's mouths in our own country if we just tapped Alaska for more oil.
Good job bleeding heart liberals in Washington!!
Macintosh has many FPS games ported out to their Unix based OS. I don't see how hard it could be. We just need good hardware support from Nvidia and ATI/AMD. I would love to run games on Linux, but there is just not enough support to even get all my hardware recognized. I hope we can overcome this obstacle before everyone is forced to use Vista. I will give up games and go Linux before I ever install Vista.
I hear what the old lady is talking about. I have had the worst experience with these morons. They are very cocky and think they are internet gods. They must hire Nazis on a strict basis. I am thinking about doing what the old lady did, except I will use a large caliber and clean the place out!!! Maybe then they will wake up and start acting like a common carrier.
I hope you guys know that a maximum data transfer rate of 800Mb/s is 100MB/s. We don't know if it is sustained or peak so we are not even guaranteed that. Maybe it does not even matter. A few years ago they came out with this thing called SCSI U320. It is an interface that can support drive speeds up to 320MB/s per channel. If you have a decent controller and a RAID 5, you can get very close to 320MB/s sustained data transfer rates. Don't even get me started on SAS arrays! Sure it may be a little too enterprise level for some people, but before spending the money on unproven hardware, I would choose a proven robust interface.
Now, if the author made a mistake and these things run at 800MB/s, then we have a new issue in which we can start talking about 4-10Gb/s Fibre SAN arrays, but I'll leave that for another time.
Sorry to shit in anyone's hat, but those are the facts man.
Why should I be inconvenienced by having a separate box, separate remote control and no ability to set my VCR to record shows on different channels all so the cable company (which charges too much anyway) can broadcast digital to save THEM money. I am just plain not interested in digital anything to do with TV. I watch less than four shows a week, and frankly, for the trouble, I would rather download them than play the cable company's game. Oh, not only am I paying too much for reruns and commercials, but that box thing costs another $XX per month, per TV. Add that to the not worth it column. I grew up in the country with little to no TV (depending on reception), so it is not a big priority for me. You people with your Tivos and fancy HD plasma TVs can have all you want with this hassle. Oh, how I loathe 2012 for my TV. I ask god to strike his mighty hand down for another push back.
I am 20 years old and I consider myself to be conservative. I don't think it is solely based on age nor the lack of processing information, but rather thinking it trough more thoroughly. Liberals tend to jump to new ideas without thinking them trough thoroughly. throughout history, you can see how this can spark revolution or spark failure. Sure, John Kerry agreed with everyone's points of view at the drop of a hat because he is a politician, but he is also more of a risk taker. Fundamentally, liberalism is about change and trying new things; while conservatism is about staying with proven concepts to limit the possibility of unforeseen problems. The war in Iraq is for a good logical reason; it was just poorly implemented and unplanned. Then of course we did not ask for terrorists to hijack our planes and crash them into innocent people.
I bought the game Bioshock (which won't even load a splash screen). It installs the same kind of rootkit. I think it is just wonderful the way Sony thinks they can create directories in my system for themselves. After all, why not. It can only be compromised by the would be virus or data harvesting malware. Riiiight.... I don't think I will be buying anything Sony for quite a while.
I think Micro$oft should update Windows XP so that before loading a game, it temporarily dumps the GUI and enters a command line mode before running the game to reduce overhead. Of course if the game errors out, the GUI will be reloaded by default. Meanwhile the GUI is rewritten to run on GPU cycles and not CPU cycles. If you are not gaming, your GPU sits there and idles; why not use it for something? All this would support DX10/DX10.1 as well. This is what MS should have spent that 6 years writing. Frankly, I would rather use DOS than Vista. I simply hate the way it runs and looks. I can't find anything I like about it except for DX10 support. Would be nice if Ubuntu could run Windows games better. There are emulators, but I have never used them. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah, monkeys being crude and annoying. If only you guys knew my most recent office fudge up involving me: The_Monkey. I PO'ed VMWare on their video contest with some demoralizing comments. Come on guys, you know it was funny! Anyhow, I have put some long hours into researching the Kenya monkey problem. I have concluded that the best solution involves a 30-06 or 50 Cal. rifle. Yes, it is surprisingly effective at deterring attacks from the local monkeys. As with any logical and plausible solution there is one negative aspect: the mess. On the occasion, after firing the rifle at a monkey, the targeted monkey has a tendency to "explode," if you will. However, the majority of the remnants can be swept and dabbed away with a wet sponge. I don't expect any praise or special recognition for resolving this most controversial and pressing issue of humanity. I merely am satisfied knowing I have helped fellow human beings.
Ever sincerely, The_Monkey.
OK...why not ditch the diesel and create a mini nuclear generator and reduce all the noise. Sure nuclear scares a lot of people but in this case there are two ways to look at it: either encase it in an impenetrable shell or wait for an enemy to shoot it and BANG!! The explosion should be big enough to clear the area. The first option would work well in consumer autos. Now you can be "green" and go hug some trees.
I thought we were against communism. This does not sound like the land of the free to me. In the last 10 years this country has gone severely down hill. Mostly from bad politics and the lack of democratic action. The whole country cannot be as liberal as the direction it is taking. The American people do not want to have federal IDs and passports to travel in THEIR OWN COUNTRY!!! This severe inconvenience and breach of all the flag stands for should not be tolerated by any citizen. Sure, blame it on terrorism. Just like Massachusetts forcing citizens to have health insurance regardless of income or status. Where has all the freedom gone?
It seems like everything in the world will slowly kill you. Well, I don't plan to live longer than 80 years and damn it I am going to enjoy life as much as I can. Worrying about petty things like being killed by my Laser Jet just waste my time.
Once you install Vista, your computer becomes a brick. If I had a Vista machine, I am sure it would make a great coffee table!!
Seriously, Vista is a waste of energy. Once you install it, half your devices don't have driver support. They could have spent part of that 7 years developing a way to port drivers to other platforms, but no, not Micro$oft. Lastly, it is wonderful at taking top-of-the-line hardware and making it feel like 1999 again.
