    Never made it out of my intend to read pile...but hey, I only need 30-35 more years out of this rock and then I don't care what happens to it...

    Yep...of course, depending on who it is performing it you may have a hard time finding anyone that cares. But here's how it works, and it will blow your mind if you don't already know. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/music-licensing.htm

    Well....you may prefer LCD's sir....however, the felines of the world are now officially out to get you. We miss that warm spot on the top of the CRT.

    yep. Have 12 gigs. I was answering the person that said their steam used 13mb. Never said I had a problem with it using 190+ megs.

  8. Re:Good luck on Phoronix Confirms GNU/Linux Steam and Source Engine Clients · · Score: 1

    Just checked mine at home. I never close steam, so no idea how long it has been running....but it is using 197MB right now.

    Yeah, I have a rock solid 2mbps connection and I never have any of the issues you describe with steam. (I am not gloating, just confirming your suspicions)

    Don't worry though, time warner just bought my cable company, so I am sure my days of excellent internet service are numbered.

  10. Re:Why an app at all? on iTunes' Windows Problem · · Score: 1
    Yeah, I probably did use it for around an hour. You just hear so much about how easy it is to use...guess I had unrealistic expectations. But this:

    Honestly, I hate the preaching of the zealots for ANY OS. Use what you like, and works for your needs. To hell with anyone who disagrees.

    is all that really needs to be said. You are exactly right.

  11. Re:iTunes PC is OK on iTunes' Windows Problem · · Score: 1

    it constantly tries to get me to install things I don't want - iCloud, Quicktime, Safari

    Drives me crazy too. I finally gave up and let it install them just to make it stop asking. Which is, I guess, what they want.

    I hope it at least interfaces nicely with Outloook or some other calendar/contact

    Not sure about itunes to outlook, but outlook to iphone/ipad/itunes syncs pretty well for what I need to use it for.

  12. Re:Why an app at all? on iTunes' Windows Problem · · Score: 2

    Installed a VM of OS X because the company I work for was wooing a client that was all mac and we wanted to make sure that all the bells and whistles on our website would work for them (they didn't, but that is hardly apple's fault).

    Anyway, I hadn't used an apple/mac since the 2e when I was in elementary school. OS X was very non-intuitive to me. I really only needed to start safari and go to our page...and that was easy to figure out...but I decided I would look around. Didn't dislike it, didn't really like it. A solid meh.

    However, it is entirely possible that I am just stupid.

    I guessed that it was the name of his town/school and he was afraid to for one of the black people from there to see him type the N word. You know, cause they were all so tight.

    Yeah, but he is a non-American white person....AKA an expert on race relations since cotton won't grow where he lives.

  15. Re:Diesel on Hybrid Car Owners Not Likely To Buy Another Hybrid · · Score: 1

    There was a garage kept diesel Datsun truck for sale in the town I live in. I walked away from it because he wanted $500 more than I wanted to pay. I should have bought the damn thing...I only drive when it's raining steadily, it would have lasted forever probably.

    That line is absolutely ridiculous to me....You do not speak to a CEO (much less CEO's) if you work helpdesk. I couldn't help but think that I misunderstood you. I asked....I got modded down. It doesn't matter. I wish I could sleep....

    The point they are making is that it mattered that the water tight compartments weren't sealed at the top because once one eventually filled up (from the leak towards the bottom) the water spilled into the one next to it.

    Gorgar was just before my time....my mother probably wouldn't have let me play it if she had seen it anyway....Sinistar I remember however. Anyhow, this was immensely entertaining to me when I first saw it.

    (If you have never heard of Gorgar either, this is worth listening to....it is so completely ridiculous to hear now)

    At the very least listen to the 20 seconds starting around 1:57. I am talking about the magic that can only be created by a goddamn monster that speaks!

    This shit is memeworthy ridiculous.
