This will certainly help the rental stores, but will it consume considerably more space on our shelves?
Think about it this way -- How many 700MB CD-RWs could be replaced with one of these discs? My math says 39.6. All of a sudden it doesn't seem very large, does it?
No, it;s not just you. It left me feeling empty as well. If I had not been with friends, I would have walked out half-way through (not something I usually do, no matter how bad the movie is).
And there were many things that were distracting; such as:
- blond haired evles with dark brown eyebrows
- Orcs that looked like the Insane Clown Posse
- Elves that seemed more human than elvish
- lack of hobbit & elvish song made the movie bland.
- etc
BTW, I am a huge Tolkien fan, but I wish that I had never seen the movie.
So...driving is a privilege because they tell you it is, and you believe them? Wake up, and smell the coffee. Many people depend on this so-called privilege to make a living -- should making a living be a privilege?
Personally, I'm not a big fan of automobiles. I have structured my life in such a way so that I do not require any vehicle beside my feet, and my bicycle.
I think that most people would be much happier without the pollution, financial burden, endless concrete slabs, and accidents caused by cars, but, I still don't consider cars to be a mere privilege.
You could of course say the same thing about snail mail -- unless you send by registered mail. But, then again, how many bills are sent by registered mail?

That is technically a farm, not a cluster.

Well...it is, and they do. ;-)
This is war (in case you didn't realize), and there is no place here for enemy sympathizers.
You're either with us, or against us.

Ahem...that should be "Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf." ;-)

I think he meant that their OSs are toys.

FOAD = fuck off, and die
FUD = fear, uncertainty, and doubt

Hey! What the hell is so goddamn funny about that -- I was being serious!
Well, I guess the visual imagery of screwing a hobbit could be a bit funny.
domc
As a gnome, I take offense to that statement. Danny Divito is more of a hobbit, or possibly a dwarf.
domc
OK, so it might have to be split up into about 10 movies, but it would be worth it!
domc
Screw the Hobbit. I want a movie version of the Silmarillion!
domc
OK, you got me on the last point. I should have said driving, not cars.
domc
I think he meant pay-per-day gararges, not old-skool cars.

Now that CDRs are ~0.15 US, I don't see much need for floppies.
Much less fragile than a floppy, much larger capacity, readable on all architectures, etc...
How much does a floppy cost nowadays anyway? Probably more than a CDR. After a while the cheaper media cost would make up the drive price difference.
domc
I could make a very convincing argument that Macs are elitist in their own right.

Where is the moderation (-1, Retard) when you need it?

Give this man a cigar!
You can't sit on the sidelines and bitch about how you can't use linux at your job. You need to actually do something about it.
When I started my current job assignment a year ago (in state government), I was the only person using Linux in a sea of NT machines.
Now, one year later, I am in charge of Linux R&D on our z-series mainframe - which will eventually become our preferred server platform!
If I had just sat there, and decided to be a good little Windows user, none of this would have happened!
BTW, fear my dnet & seti@home scores.
domc
Well...since the Firewire comes with the PS2 the cost really isn't an issue. It's a moot point anyway though since it also comes with 10/100 ethernet.
domc
Yes, Firewire can be used to network couputers daisy-chain style. I'm not sure if you can do such a thing with USB.
domc
Which half-human creature would you most like to have sex with?
- Cat-woman
- Lion-woman
- Tentacle creature
- Elephant-man
- Robmalda-man

Please don't put words in my mouth. All I said was that a value judgement occurs at some point during the creation of such a rule.
It may seem like an insignificant point, but it is important nonetheless.
domc
I would imagine that most of us geeks have access to more than one computer/network -- right? So, it is useful for *us*.
domc
BTW, just to prove my point -- there seem to be a lot of cable subscribers posting on this thread.
BTW, for Charter people; try DHCP if you aren't having any luck. That's what I did, and I was then able to glean all of the new settings.
domc
Also, don't get discouraged if it doesn't work for you right now -- the service has been up and down for the last several hours.
