ok, let me see if I understand this. You spend 2.5 years working on something that you think is worth $62,500. You keep only ONE copy of this. On your XP box, that you play games on. No back up. Not digital, not on paper, nothing? If this scenario plays out, you have learned at least one valuable lesson from your time in school. Many of us here on/. learned this lesson very early in life. Probably when a floppy disc went bad on our C64. Make back ups of thing that are valuable. Don't keep them in the same place as the original. Yes. that is work. Is it worth $62,500 and 2.5 years of your life? I think so.
you might burn if you were covered in something like jet fuel and pelted with the exploding remains of you air craft. Not quite the same thing as leaving a perfectly good balloon.
OH, cry me a fucking river. I think his point was that an iPod will work on far more devices than a Zune will. That and I don't recall Apple branding AAC "Plays For Sure" or any other stupid slogan. Everything Apple does is NOT good (10.5 I'm looking at you) but Plays For Sure is crap.
I have to ask: 1) do you have many CompUSA stores in Germany? 2) do you really think that the poster's word extends beyond the middle half of north america? 3) does Wal-Mart failing in Germany mean that they won't take over the world? To a megacorp like them not being a success in Germany is like not doing well in Oklahoma. A disappointment, yes, but not game over.
you are right, it was "I'm too sexy" that's MUCH better
I feel for you having put in your time at WORT. I like to listen, but I'd stab Sybil if I had to work around her. I'm still mad at her for killing the Dead programing. WSUM is college radio. A large percentage of what they play blows chunks. It's still better that corp. radio IMHO. Yes, radio out side of Wisconsin is bad. No doubt. Most radio inside of Wisconsin is just as bad. WJJO is no exception.
And Sean, I wasn't going to bring up "The Man Of Steel". I never liked him. I lost what ever respect I might have had for him after a night of listening to him insult listeners on the air. When one of them used "the N word" on the phone to him, he broke down and cried. Like a baby. On the air. Out loud. Very Rock and Metal.
It was wrong, crappy, and childish of the caller, but he is a grown man (of steel might I add). If that is the first time he has been insulted, or the first time he has been called that, he has some growing up to do.
I respect you point of view, I just don't feel that WJJO is the model that radio stations should be judged by.
Dude, come on. JJO? they blow as much as every other station. Having Johny "Danger" as a DJ doesn't make you good. remember when he worked on the top 40 station? Z104 ring any bells? how about when he locked himself in the broadcast booth and played "take this job and shove it" over and over again? Yeah he's cool, and a rebel.
seriously they have not 1 but 2 stations in the Fox River Valley (2 hours north) that play the EXACT same play list. One wasn't enough.
Try WORT(89.9) or WSUM(91.7) if you want non-corp radio in Madison.
- The entire game consists of three things: Climbing high things to see new parts of the map, fighting a few guards to save citizens (who are ALWAYS in trouble for theft and the citizen saving is always 100% the same), pick pocketing (again, pointless and always exactly the same) one or two interrogations (you punch a guy a few times -- always the same) and then assassinating the "final boss". -
that is 5 things. by my count. not that you weren't dissapointed, just that 5 is more than 3.
so, we will need 25lbs (10 kilos for our metric friends) of butter, a bushel basket (I don't know the metric conversion for that) of lemons, and a BIG fscking bib for that baby. Yum. unless they taste like giant squid, yuck.
Just because he "researches" something doesn't make him good at it. If he claimed to be a "security expert" then he would be a liar. as it is he is, at worst, a fool.
yes, I think that he means the hallway between the kitchen and my room. Why else would I need this cool lap top and a wireless router? can't risk missing something just for a Hotpocket fix.
no, it's more like you work for a known rapist, and he asks you when your sister walks to school. Do you tell him just to keep your job or do you refuse, and probably lose your job? China is a known violator of human rights (might as well be rapist, IMHO). Just because they give Yahoo money doesn't make them trustworthy. Not telling the truth to Congress to cover up the crappy things you do, in the name of profit, is still a crime. No amount of "well, the US Government does bad thing, too" will make it ok. My mother taught me that two wrongs do not make a right.
I feel that you are holding back. If you internalize these things they will turn into a cancer or an ulcer. So, again I say, "tell us how you realy feel"
In the house I grew up in Paper towels came in a two foot long roll. asswipe, toilet tisue, tp, whatever came in a 6 inch roll. paper napkins came in a stack. tissues came in a box (and let's not have any banter about what comes in a tissue)
that doesn't mean that I'm right and you're wrong, it's just what my Moma called them.
but is back porting features from vista a good thing? or is it just another way to migrate all the Windows users over to an operating system that they have rejected? how long untill they "back port" the whole DRM suite that seems to cause the most hand wringing and tooth gnashing?
now keep in mind that I'm an Mac user and don't feel that it effects me. I just wonder.

I think so.

does it run Linux?

I think that you ment:
"in Soviet Russia, Vista updates you"
as my uncle Ralph, a vietnam era pilot, liked to say, "why would any one want to leave a perfectly good airplane?"
ha, ha jokes on you, she has a virus!
wait...
I have to ask:
1) do you have many CompUSA stores in Germany?

quick name the last FUNNY movie Dan or Rick made.
yeah, I've had two kids and 4 jobs since then.
Honey, I shrank the Blues Brothers 2000!
oh, how well I remember my IIfx
a 40mhz power house.
It was something like $10,000 new.
today it holds up books on a shelf in my office.
retroactive!?!?!
so Canada is going to send out a bill for 11years of back tax to every Canadian who down loaded legal music?
that should be popular.
