DO you really think they will charge something like $5.00 a month. If it is they will limit you on how many downloads.
And what happens if you download an MP3 that has errors or that cuts off the last minute of a song. I much crap will you have to go through to verify that in order to get your money back on that download.
For my wife and I the Net keeps our families closer. Most of my family including myself have web cams on our pc's and use them to see how each other are doing and how big all the babies are getting instead of just typing back and fourth. But it also lets me meet new people (friends) that share the same interests/hobbies as I do. I am a volkswagon nut and have meet people online that come to find out live in the same town as I do. I have even met some dare I say IRL to help them with their beetle restoration projects. Without the Net I probably would have never met these people. I enjoy spending time on the Net, but I also like to spend most of my time enjoying life.
It's called a dumpster.. It's very easy to use and you don't even have to be online. Plus it saves me the time of boxing up and packaging old hardware, taking it to a shipping place, deal with getting shipping payment from the person wanting it. And it saves the person wanting it hasle from their spouse that finds out there is more old hardware crap being shipped to them to add to their closet junk collection. And it saves them the time from turning around and putting another post to get rid of what they just got. And it saves them the time of packaging, shipping......
He means that there has to be eonough people to want all this old hardware as there are people trying to get rid of the old hardware. Otherwise all you will have is a website with a huge list of old hardware that is going nowhere if there is no one to take it.
I would have to patent a computer software that secures your computer by freezing it so you can't do anything but there would be a blue screen with white writing showing the entire time my software was running. The only to stop my software would be to turn your PC power off.
Then if any software company even thought of making something similar to what my software does my lawyers and the DOJ would sue their pants off.
Call your Local Teleco and tell them that you want to "freeze" your long distance company. A "freeze" enables only you or your authorized representative to change your long distance company.
I'm a computer telephony system admin, and had to do this at work and also had them freeze my LD carrier at my house to.
I have purchased an Olympus 450 Z and love it, I did have a nice Minolta 35mm and have since put it up in the closet. I would take pictures with it and get prints made, only to find out I really only like 6 out of 24 pictures that were taken. I also hated dealing with the idiot teenage "film technician" about pictures that looked like they were messed up during processing.
If you take the time and mess around with the configuration of the digicam most actually do take good pictures, mine is only a 1.3 megapixel and I think the quality is great.
You are standing on pathway that runs through a densly wooded forest, to the north you see a castle, to the south you see a cave.

Whatever happened to the days of "let him pull the TV on his head, he won't do it again if he does"? Today we'd be more likely to sue the TV manufacturer for having made a heavy object with a higher then necessary center of gravity.
I totally agree with this. The worst one is the lady who went to McDonald's drive thru and bought a coffee then put it between her legs and drove off, when it spilled on her she sued McDonald's for hot coffee. If it had been cold would she have sued them for making her cold when everyone knows coffee is supposed to warm you up.
I'm sorry, but if you are such an idiot to put a hot coffee between your legs in a car I hope it burns you so bad that you can't reproduce and bring more idiots into the world.
I totally agree. I have a PII 400, TNT2 ultra vid, SCSI HDD and I do play quake. And if you have an 800 Mhz with a 56k modem playing multiplayer quake I will stomp you still since I also use a cable modem. average ping in low 50's. They need to quit focusing on Ghz cpu's and find out how to make data transfer from the harddrive faster.
my hard drive dropped like 2cm once inside my case because of a screw fell out, and it got damaged.. my brothers hard drive totally died just because he hit his chair against his desk that the pc sits on
Where these Hardrives ceramic? I have a two year old Gateway that has been in moving vanes three times. I have also gotten mad at my computer and I whack the side of it HARD and nothing has ever gone wrong with it since I bought it. Your brother hits the desk the PC sits on and the PC dies, I hope you had someone replace the computer. Also whatever you do quit buying from whoever you were buying from.
"Tears streamed down her face". You could rephrase this to make it non-cliche: "Tears spasmed over the boundaries of her eye lids, cascading down the trecherous terrain of her face".
You Moron! So instead of saying something in five words, you would rather say it in a paragraph.
Idiot! Don't you think Jon Katz's articles are long enough. With what you are talking about it would take two days just to read his post.
For one, the way you wrote it makes you sound like you are as queer as football bat.
I have a solution to the issue of cd covers, it's called borrowing the cd, copy it and while it's copying place the cover on a flat bed scanner, print out via inkjet printer onto photo glossy paper. There ya go cd with cover, cost? Take your buddy out to taco bell. who needs the inside info, I don't care who they dedicate the freakin cd to.

I don't care to read about some moron that wants to free potheads and have heroin addicts going to the local Doc in the Box for their next hit.
Although I would like to get money for taxes instead of paying them.
