As i sit here on my ipaq i have no books & no good format for them. duh i don't want drm on a $40 50k file - but i want a friendly program - w/ features like autoscroll - w/ the universal format.
The cost is WAY HIGH on these things. I am a student & I totally crave one! I put my PoPC to use daily (posting this from one in a bathroom stall before I go back to class). I can see many uses for one note in class... but $2000 for one worth having is loco!
If a tablet pc maker wants to donate to a good cause, Im not above whoring myself out for promos!!!
If you think there haven't been good story lines in FPS then you missed NOLF. If you think you think the technology is stagnet, look @ the Doom3 engine footage - it will get better. As for the Sims, since when does it take you 10 minutes to pee?
I am suprised that with that much space, and that many sats etc - and just the over all bad ass'd'ness of such a place there arent more people and groups sharing such a facility. All in all it just sounds like a really big cool funlab
I think this country suffers from a lack of patriotism and they forget how important our arm'd forces are. Even though I have never served -- I fully salute those that do and have.
Offtopic kinda but did you hear Clinton's trip to vietnam, he wanted to (in acordance w/ Vietnam's wishes) fly the Vietnam flag above the American on the ship? WTF?
First of all -- 17 of our SOLDIERS -- ya know, the ones that put their ass on the line so pussys like myself dont have to -- DIED. The problem is those 17 were not serving a country at war. They were attacted. It is a tradgety. The 100s of Palestenines that have died have little to no consequence of America. However, for OUR state dept. to stop an editorial because more palestiniens have died is crap. As far as I am concerned, a life is a life. However, when a young man gives his life for his country in war it is way different then just being attacked. Stoping this would be like stopping an editorial talking about police getting killed because more gang members have died and we dont want to insight them.
As for the politics -- first of all I never said ANYTHING about the previous presidents -- im adressing clinton/gore. By address the fact that Clinton is a liar (proven) and Gore at the very least bends the truth does not make me a liar. Wtf? The difference between the two is that Clinton/Gore lie only to tell the people what they want to hear when they want to hear it. Gore will say Oil companies are bad and we need to move away from petrol -- and then he and his family get huge oil $$$.
Btw -- a president does not have to tell everything. But some things he does. Ive yet to see issues where Regan/Bush were lieing about something they were not allowed to.
Heck - prove me wrong w/o flaim bait so i can know more.
Call me superficial but other then I like Bush (would have like McCain more) I can't vote for Nader because he is the primary reason for all those years I spent in a car going 55mph. Grr.
If I am wrong -- then I will be more edumacated.
Why do I get the feeling that Gore will also do as his predecesor and lie and tell the people what they want to hear? Gore seems to be a great story teller.
Other then the supreme court issue (Look what happened when E. Warren was appointed! SHEESH! Talk about back scratching deals!) Andy Roony could be president because all the real work, ie. Speech writing, negotiations, bill props etc. are done by advisors.
However, the one thing that Clinton/Gore have hurt is the USA military. The Voice of America recently put out an editorial about the Cole. The state department who approves such editorials denied its printing because the death of the 17 Navy boys don't out weigh the 100s of palestineins (sp?). Thats the Clinton/Gore state dept. Thats just sad. An editorial cant be printed because it might enrage Palestine and the deaths of their 100 outweigh the deaths of our 17 that serve us and our country.
Ugh.
I use a SS7 board. ETEQ Chipset. Aka VIATech. That means a lot of the hacks or adds that allow USB do not work for me. Also, I use a TNT2U board so I need my quake3 and I tried so hard and I could not get it to run. Sigh. Also, I have USB perfs that that NO USB = BAD! Also -- DVD and I love movies. I am a big uptime freak so rebooting switching, etc etc etc just does not work for me. Sure win98 crashes dont either but I dont have to reboot every hour when I get a hickering for some q3. Also, SB Live no worky for me. Sure this is a personal bitch session but those are MY reasons why I HAVENT replaced. That shouldnt stop you though. I have had Red Hat since version 3.something. (Thats a flame war waiting to happen) but for above mentions that are adjusted over the times -- thats why I cant switch -- YET!
