An additional hassle is that you cannot ever really trust pirated software. Maybe there is a trojan, virus or worm, which will be activated in the future on a specific date, or after a specific event or series of events. Maybe when you have typed enough credit card numbers worth sending. There's just no way to know (practically).
What's the purpose you claim Christians have? I know many people, who claim to be Christians, but I have not been able to identify a specific "purpose" in their lives.
In my experience, if you have a reasonably good sound system, which is able to produce high volumes with low distortion (= good loudspeakers and amplifier), women start to dance. If you have a cheap soundsystem, they demand you to turn it down.
It's not the volume alone, but the distortion, which is perceived as unpleasant.
Economic depression comes around every 10 years, give or take a few years. No matter what you do, it repeats. In the beginnig of a depression, people start to work harder again, and in the of the good times, everygbody's changing jobs to get more money, everything's chaotic and companies lose money.
Buy your stocks now, it's the best time.
Research and development is costly, to find out which components are good. Additionally, each part in the supply chain adds their profit margin to the product, so adding value in the early levels of the supply chain (as in manufacturing) can easily add a significant amount of cost to the end price.
You should add elaborate easter eggs only, if you are 100 % sure there is nothing else you can do to improve the software, that is probably never. Save yourself some future grief by running more tests, going through the code or documentation or by fixing some of the bugs or "issues" that are undoubtedly still there somewhere to fix.
Adding something like a dev team picture behing a key combination is cool, though, and hardly wastes any time.
I was looking for a new acoustic guitar the other day. I saw some fine instruments, producing rich, warm sounds with perfect intonation all across the fretboard. However, playing the acoustic was kind of a strain to my fingers, especially playing barre chords. Then I checked out some electric guitars, which were much more finger-friendly, but something was lacking.
Finally, I discovered that for less money than an electronic guitar and amplifier, I could get an "mp3-player", listening to perfectly captured music, played by complete bands. I can't imagine anybody buying these guitar thingies, with the _serious_ lack of features and entertainment value compared to those mp3 players.
This conversation does not sound real. I think each of you is just making this stuff up just to get some mod points, like in some kind of choreographed dance.
It's not a pedometer, it's an accelerometer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerometer), which is a much more accurate device.
My Polar RS200SD watch + accelerometer combination has less than 1 % deviation in measured distance, which I consider very good, and I would imagine the Nike+ footpod reaching similar figures.
A pedometer works by calculating the number of footsteps, and can never by accurate in distance calculation, as the length of the step is dependent on the user's speed.
Proactive is the opposite of reactive, which are both something else than "active". Maybe you could say that proactive and reactive as words are refinements of the word active, which the VC apparently failed to communicate.
1. Why only wireless "g" support in them, and not "n"? Wireless "n" support actually makes video streaming possible without drop-outs and pauses. Because there is no 802.11n standard yet - the estimated date for the final version is June 2009. There are several "pre-N" products available, which implement the draft versions of the 802.11n, but they are generally only compatible within one manufactures product line.
So, for Sony to make it work, it should have it's on Playstation Router. Also, it would have been very hard to implement a working Pre-N wireless client when PS3 was published in 2006, as the 802.11n standard was in its infancy back then.
I don't see why anyone would want to see the individual pixels - if you're seeing them instead of the movie, you're too close. And when watching a movie, the bigger, the better. When watching a HD movie in any location, I would always prefer a 42" screen over a 17" screen. The discussion about who's gonna carry the plasma to a hotel room is another topic.
Why would I want to see the pixels? Besides of that, a cheap laptop LCD screen ("cheap" referring to screen, not laptop - they're all cheap) can hardly match a modern flat-screen TV - especially a plasma TV.
I just wonder where all your memory goes. I have had no problems with Vista with 1 GB of memory. I don't do anything memory heavy, but I have sometimes a ca. 10 browser windows + 2-3 other applications open at the same time, and I've never experienced (noticeable) swapping.
AFAIK, you can do all of this with modern Nokia phones. This is done by creating different profiles, and the ringing alert can be changed for each caller in the phone book. Profiles can also be set to be on for a time period, e.g. 9-17.
I haven't tried doíng everything you want to have with my Nokia 6280, so if there is somebody who has, could confirm if my assumptions are true.

How did you check this?

Just make the effort to memorize, your brain adapts to different kind of character sequences.

Confidence cons are like ATM machines.
That would be one hell of a JavaScript program.

You can't exactly reduce the quality of a digital signal. It either works or it doesn't.
If it doesn't work, the quality is reduced.
So what you need is a plug-out.

I tried it. It made my Vista installation even slower, and was the last nail in the coffin. After that I bought XP and ditched Vista. Never again.

And those who forget important quotes are condemned to reinvent them, poorly.

Where do you get the figure of two million neo-Nazis from? Accroding to the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution) there are 10.400 registered neo-Nazis in Germany (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonazi). I have lived in Germany for over 5 years, and have never seen neo-Nazis running around on the street, just in the newspapers and tv.
