No one is telling the parent poster to go out and buy these cards, and buy this hardware. Yes, it is being marketed (since "reviews" are really just a cheaper way of marketing for these people), but no one is making up your mind for you to plunk down two wads of cash for two graphics cards.
This is the typical outburst that I hear from the lemmings that line up for plastic, and buy what the television tells them to buy.:ugh:
Probably the best place to look for the definition of marriage is your religious texts, whatever they may be. In Christiandom, at least the vast majority of it, marriage is the bonding of a man and a woman under God, till death do they part.
But it is only partially true. The real test of faith encompasses this, but includes much more. I'm assuming he's referring to Christian faith, since other faiths don't really have this as such a central point.
The real test of faith is admitting that you are not your own God, and that your life should not revolve around yourself. For instance, far too many people blanch at the prospect of talking about Christian faith with people that they don't know... not because they fear talking about it, but because they don't want to appear as Bible thumpers in other people's eyes. That utmost concern for one's self (or pride in general) is the hardest thing to reject, and that rejection is the greatest test of faith. If you live your life in humility, then you wouldn't be the one to define whether or not an unborn child is still a child.
Pardon the hypocrasy, but what dumbass modded this insightful? It's more off-topic than anything.
You should have your mod rights stripped.
To be more on-topic, the war on terror is the same as the war on drugs. It will never be won, and for similar reasons. There are always going to be people who hate the democratic and capitalistic way of life, and will do everything that they can to destroy it. The war of terror will never end for them, because as long as we exist, they will have a target for their hate.
The war on drugs will only last as long as we want it to, which will probably be forever. There will always be people in favor of strict social regulation, and drugs will always be the thing that they blame. There are always going to be dumbass people that want drugs, and there will always be cartels and dealers around to supply them.
The only way to stop terrorism is to try to educate the terrorists, and try to get them to not hate this way of life. The only way to stop the war on drugs is to get the parents to take responsibility for their kids, and to stop blaming the substance for the sins of the abuser. Neither things are likely.
I'd like to meet these "experts." Do they count the bodies? What makes them so expert on this subject?
I'm starting to believe that these 100,000 civilians dead are a product of a frightened liberal media, mixed with lies from the arabs. Every time there was action in Afghanistan, for instance, the Taliban would make anouncements like "they hit a hostpital," or "they hit a school." I'm doubtful that we'll ever get a true word out of the middle east / southern asia.
I'd like to see the accounting measures that these "experts" used. I'd like to see video of them counting dead civilian bodies. Until then, it is best to remain skeptical of anything coming out of American media regarding the middle east.
Four years ago, every American learned that there are problems with how votes are tallied in the United States.
It seems more and more like the problem doesn't exist in how the votes are tallied, but in how the votes are made, and what happens to them after they are made. If some dem has a voting machine in the trunk of his car, who knows if he'd cast a couple thousand votes for his chump, Algore. Imagine, if it were completely honest, the results may have differed by thousands instead of hundreds.
The UN is far too presumptious. It doesn't have to power do anything, even if it did find anything that it objected to. The UN is just a sounding board for the griping of self-important countries.
The best defense that you can come up with for the incompetence by the county leaders (which just happen to also be black) is some unfounded conspiracy theory that involves the RNC? Perhaps I could also bring up the rumor of truckloads of republican vote ballots in CA, AZ, and NM being held in a warehouse, then destroyed? There's just as much proof there. "Don't hear that much in the news."
The media is a liberal outlet. If there is a news outlet that happens to not be liberal, well it isn't unbiased anymore, and it isn't counted as news. CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS are all firmly liberal, CBS was even caught red-handed running false stories that were anti-Bush. The latest fiasco with the 800 tons of explosives was reported the most by MSNBC and CNN. The other mentioned stations ran similar reports, without actually looking into whether or not the allegations were true. When it came out later that the explosives were not lost, because they weren't there when we got there, those stations just sloughed it off... Nothing is worse than egg on the face, unless, you can control the majority of what people see and hear every day.
You must be one of those extremist liberals or something, for you to think that the media is not liberal. Give me a break.
Bah. It doesn't matter as much to me. Just as long it isn't another country paying Microsoft. It's a plus for the competition, and evidence that MS's bluster about TCO and transition and all that crap is really just... crap.
I wonder. If it's not legal to pray for someone's death, as it constitutes a threat against them, then would it be legal for me to make a voodoo doll of them? I mean, would you get busted by the secret service if you had a 'W voodoo doll that you stuck pins into? The quote from the chick is that he can 'feel it every time you pray for him.' Well, how about every time they twist the doll's head around in circles?
I'd rather have a Kerry doll, though. Then I'd probably try to pin the skin around his eyes up, they're so damn droopy. He reminds me of a basset hound. Then again, his IQ is around the same.
How about E-Bay? An auction requires a social network in order to really be effective, and if it's not E-commerce, I live on Mars. People have their own user accounts on E-Bay, can rate other people, contact info is there, etc. I'd say that is all that's required for a social network, no?
Where do you get the idea that CS degree == developer? It sounds like you've pigeonholed about 80% of the CS community into the wrong job.
CS isn't about programming, as many uninformed people tend to think. CS is about learning the mathematics behind languages, logic, and a slew of other things. A CS Major can decide to specify in development, others may choose to go to the database side, another option is communication. The latter is where the true sysadmins are born (unless they hail from pre-historic days, and were around when this stuff was invented).
Believe me, many of those paper-certified people would flop in the earlier parts of a real CS curriculum, which generally requires the minimum of programming (you learn concepts, data structures, etc). Heavy programming shows up once you decide what you want to do, or heavy math does, or heavy... you guessed it, exercise with system administration (which may or may not include sifting through source code.)
Besides, "Developer" is a MS term. I'm doubtful that you have a CS degree (sorry, MS "Developer Certification" is a far cry from that), or if you do, you got it from a second rate institution.
All of which are possible from in front of the screen:
Social Life: On-line chat. MMORPG.
Family: See the next one:
Sex: Through on-line chat, tell someone that you think is a chick to get their ass over to your house, so they can sit on your lap. Existance of a family then ensues... unless you find out that your "chick" was a dude.
I am not your average sysadmin who can figure out every script and knows much about process lists, or Kill Signals.
That's what an education is for. From this sentence, I get the impression that you are a sysadmin, albeit one that is grossly unqualified for any sysadmin position.
I guess we can pin this sort of thing on Microsoft, who's penchant for wizards and paperclips has led to a flooding of the market by uneducated or unqualified IT workers. It's the same frightful problem that the developer space deals with, where VB6 allows people to create executables without understanding programming at all.
I apologize, if I'm being offensive. It is frustrating to see the industry that I work in crumble because of the antics of a single company and the bloat in salaries a few years back. I'm not saying that you, in particular, have no chance of learning, it looks like you're interested in what you're doing... But there are quite a few more capable and qualified people out there without jobs that can fill a sysadmin position that is filled by an MS drone.
Imagine... if all sysadmins had CS degrees, the majority of all servers would probably be *NIX based, and Code Red wouldn't have happened.
.NET allows you to use panels, docks, and fills to accomplish resizing. The font sizes don't change unless you explicitly set them, though.
If you want a button that doesn't move from the center of the form, and doesn't move from a specific location above the base of the form (or the top), you'd anchor it to three of the sides. If you want a button that scales in size, you'd set anchors to all four sides. If you want a number of components aligned on the right to scale and whatever, you'd use a panel, set it to fill the right, then add your components to the panel.
.NET is a bit different from Delphi, but it's not all that bad. VB6, on the other hand, sucks. I once had to use resizer controls to ensure that certains elements grew and others did not in an application, but I hit a control limit. I think that there's a max limit of 80 controls per form, or something like that.
I picked up a Koolance water-cooled case just recently. The primary reason, though, was not because of the CPU heat production. I got it because my case was a bit on the small side, and the hard disks were getting hot and locking up. I figured this out after my Windows box reported that my kernel was corrupt. After I let it sit for a while, and the disk got down to room temperature, it would boot fine.
I replaced the disk once, but had similar results with the second one. I decided that the best way to handle all of it would be to just lay down the money for a WC case. As of yet, I have had no problems with it, save one. When I got the computer, one of the tabs coming out of the pump that the tube connects to had snapped off. I reconnected it with some Krazy Glue, then sealed it with some water-proof sealing glue.
It's kinda cool. The case has two pumps for redundancy, three fans on the very top of the case where the radiator is, and a small resevoir in the botton front. I've got my disk, vid card, and CPU hooked up to it, and I maintain a CPU temperature of about 78F. When there is a heavy load and the room is warm, it will get up to around 88F. There is an intercept for the case switch built in, so when you hit the power button, it switches on the pumps at the same time. The case shipped with a bag of water stuff, it contained anti-corrision chemicals as well as dye and various other things.
All in all, my experience with water cooling has been nice, although expensive. The cost of the case is about $199, and the extra blocks came to a total of about $70. I had the money to blow, though, and figured that it's a worthy investment.
Hey look, it's Jesse Jackson Jr. writing this crap. He isn't the brightest bulb in the pack. He gets elected because there's a pile of morons on the south side of Chicago that adore his father. I'm from Illinois/Chicago, and think that he's got no clue about anything outside of an urban environment.
The amendment will not succeed, fortunately. In order for an amendment to be passed, it needs to be ratified by 3/4 of the states, or 38 states. The following states probably won't ratify this amendment: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, Wyoming, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota... probably more. That's at least 3 more states than required. No small state is going to vote for something that decreases it's governmental representation.
It looks more like Jackson is pandering for the party, though. People will see that the democrats are trying to get a popular vote, and be happy with them. All in all, it's fairly bogus.
Lastly, the electors who submit their electoral vote do not need to go all or nothing. It is possible, although unlikely, for an elector will vote against the popular vote of the state. The electors are the ones voted for, though, so if you vote for Bush, you're voting for an elector that will vote for Bush.
Dude, the NY Times is not a very credible source for anything other than kindling.
Then again, I haven't really heard a major lie come ouf of Bush's mouth. He said he'd cut taxes, and he's done so. He said that we'd take out Iraq, and has done so. I'm quite sure that he felt quite a bit of empathy after 9/11, as the rest of us did.
Bush isn't on trial here for purjery. A certain US president came rather close to it, but he unfortunately didn't get any heat for it. A president that was adored by NY media outlets, who was most certainly a pathological liar.
There is a slight problem with the analogy, though. It doesn't really say if the mice were writing their votes in or not. If they were, they deserve exactly what they get. If they were not, then the problem is legitimate, since they wouldn't have a choice of who to vote for.
The latter is more like the US's situation, where the two parties do everything that they can to prevent the entry of other parties into the democratic process.
Hmm.... Here are some examples that I've pulled from some newsgroups, although they may not all be Indian, they are most definitely foreign:

Yes, these are pulled from a couple of MS newsgroups. It is interesting that the majority of Indians that I've met in the industry write English very well. The ones with the biggest problems with written and spoken English, from my perspective, are the ones from eastern Europe and Russia.

It is given that two wrongs don't make a right. But I'd rather commit a lesser wrong in order to end the perpetuation of a greater wrong.
Is it more wrong to intervene, or to sit on the side and watch them kill more people?
