Just stab the kid in the spine, then don't install a wheel chair ramp. He'll never get in your house again, and probably won't rob anyone else either.
I have 0 sympathy for home invaders.
What if a Walmart, Homedepot, giant shopping mall with a Cineplex, and a Disney water park all moved in to a small town neighborhood next door to each other?
You would have an immense volume of car traffic, not to mention tourist busses, and trailer trucks to deliver goods.
Before you know it, the 2 lanes roads and several traffic lights heading in and out of town can no longer handle the capacity.
Now more sophisticated traffic lights and intersections must be built to accommodate the giant parking lots, and more lanes/ wider roads must be built.
Perhaps larger bridges to handle heavier trucks and busses.
Who foots the bill? The small town's public works? The county? Maybe the State?
Why not the businesses causing the increased traffic? It's in their best interest to have better roads. More customers can get in and out faster.
I think the businesses causing the traffic should help pay for the increased infrastructure, as well as the town or state, since the would benefit from the tax revenue.
I know this comparison doesn't quite match telecoms and ISPs, but I think it's a good way to look at it.
Yeah - but because of the sub-prime mortgage market messing up the economy and real estate market, the fish are all moving out, and now the luxury fish condos have turned into a dilapidated ghetto.
These once pristine condos are now high crime areas mainly inhabited by "Rock Crabs", known for selling crack cocaine.
Now that older (but good) game engines like the Quake 3 engine have been opensourced, lots of really good, cross platform games are coming out that don't require a super hotrod of a PC to run them.
My favorite has to be Urban Terror 4, good stuff man.
Hell yeah man - Some games don't fair well on PC's but I have 2 words for FPS games - MOUSE LOOK
I remember playing on N64 007 Golden Eye. What a pain. After playing Quake2 on PC, I was hooked on mouse look. I didn't want any game consoles after that. I'd rather put that money into a gaming PC.
Not to dog the consoles - they're pretty sick, I'm just a mouse look fan!
Yeah - that's why the chips are called AMD64

Is AMD Dead Yet?

· Score: 2, Insightful
Most of the time, when someone refers to x86_64 bit processor technology - they call it AMD64.
AMD is going no where
Don't forget that your other components should be able to support HD. What's the point in getting a BluRay player if you have a regular old tube or non-hd TV?
I remember that! Hahah, that's a valuable skill...I can be used on all those NES emulators out there.
My technique... a hard blow from left to right, then blowing air from your nose going right to left, then a final soft blow from your mouth (like saying "ha") from left to right again. --It was 100% effective, 60% of the time.
Any other children of the 80's have a whacky way to get their Nintendo to start working?
Ah man, you beat me to it! I was going to say basically the same thing.
There's no better way to help the poor than by helping them get online with a free computer...
Running Windows!
Yeah...but I'm thinking of the people that can barely use a computer. Those who just need a box for web browsing and turn it on a few times a week.
Doesn't it seem like a waste to for them to get a fast rig that will support Vista for those simple tasks?
I don't know. I guess it's my over-practical side getting to me. I hate waste.
This rant is coming from someone who still have a dual P3 500 as one of my main servers, hahaha.
Whatever
How many people do you know that only use a computer for myspace and music that had to
shell out $1000+ in order to get the hardware just to run Vista?
I've seen plenty, and it pisses me off. All that hardware and money wasted for an OS
that's overpriced to begin with.

Is that guy's name really Nimrod?
I've always heard it used as an insult, example "You're such a nimrod".
Well, I am a dumb American, so I guess that's par for the course:).
Oh any why do you need online storage? Use SSH/SFTP and you're all set.
I guess that only works for all us geeks who leave our machines on 24/7, or run our own servers.
Ah, the poor non-techy people.
That's crazy. I wouldn't want anyone having a copy of my memories, let alone Microsoft.
Here how it works:
Using your Microsoft Windows powered PC, write down everything you did today using Microsoft Office Word.
Next, store it online using Microsoft Live backup. Then you can search it using Microsoft Live Search.
Pay a monthly fee so Microsoft can datamine you based on your personal memories
Wow, I'm torn. I hate China-mart...I mean Killing-US-Manufacturing-Mart....I mean Lowprices-On-The-backs-of-Taxpayers-Mart, I mean Walmart. Sorry, stepping off the soapbox.
Anyway, this is great. The average computer user, who doesn't know about hardware specs, shouldn't have to buy basically a gaming rig simply to support the OS . That's ludicrous. You don't need 2GB of Ram (4GB recommended) and a dual core processer for "Surfing the web, and emailing"
That's great, I'll give a +1, maybe even a +2 to Walmart.
But they forgot the "cyborg" tag in the article.
Read Ray Kurzwiel's "Age of spiritual machines", it's very cool, and talks about the social implications of our technological progress.
Yeah, I agree with most posters. It doesn't really count if the user has to run it manually, and run as root to get it to work.
It's a problem with the user, not the OS - any OS is vulnerable when the user is not privy to this kind of attack.
I agree. You should read "The greatest story ever sold" by Frank Rich. It'll all about how the US government manipulates the media and has all kinds of cover-ups to hide they're incompetence.
It talks about how 9/11, the war, and Katrina really showed Americans how horribly incompetent the government is (not that most of us couldn't see it).
Oh and I support the troops...you HAVE to support the troops.
I don't support the stupid asshole president and administration that is wasting the troops' lives with their idiotic mistakes in this war.

Is it an analogy used in the movie, or is it used by the article's author?
