I mean, my mother believed that sitting too close to the TV was bad for kids eyes. Any eye doctor will tell you that its an old wives tale and kids sit so close really cuz their eyes are perfectly capable of focusing comfortably at that distance.
I always followed the studies that said you're supposed to sit 8 feet away from the TV and had perfect eyes. Then I got a computer, and a year later, I needed glasses.
If people really wanted change they wouldn't have fallen into the same old two party system. Having an independent in the office would've been true change. However, I guess charisma and popularity wins out over rationalism and logic any day when the full mass of people is concerned.
Exactly. In politics, what you say is all that matters. Nobody cares what you do.
All I know is, the excuse that it's the Republican's faults won't fly in 4 years if things are still a mess. And I don't want to hear the crap about how "It will take longer than 4 years to clean up GWB's mess." You said you will deliver us change, now is put up or shut up time.
They need to stop burning their users, which EA has done for years. Kinda sounds like a consumer case of abuse where the victims keep coming back time after time. A shame, really.
I have Time Warner and run eDonkey and BitTorrent constantly, 24/7. I use DD-WRT to monitor my bandwidth, and since I installed v24 around June, I've never used more than 100GB per month. Usually it's in the 80-100 range.
250GB per month is A LOT.
(Not saying I agree with the throttle. In fact, if Time Warner throttles my connection, I'll be the first to switch to DSL Exreme. Unfortunately, a lot of Comcast subscribers don't have that option.)
Absolutely. Would you trust your credit card number to SSL if you knew there were hundreds, maybe thousands of professional hackers trying to sniff it?
I want a laptop with Ubuntu on it. I want to be able to stick a CD or DVD in it and have it play legally. What kind of job should I get so that I can buy that?
If HTC (or any hardware manufacturer) let you install completely bespoke firmware images on your phone, then they'd have no control over what code you ran on the phone. You could accidentally or intentionally create firmware images which crashed or disrupted the phone networks they were connected to. The network operators would then be very quick to block all Android phones and the handset makers wouldn't be able to sell them anymore - Androids name would turn to mud. I'm pretty sure the firmware images have to be signed by the hardware manufacturer or all hell would break loose.

Damn, and I thought D-Link was one of the better companies to buy a router from.

Yeah, and look how bad the Clinton years were for this country...
Oh, wait...
Yeah, back then we had a Republican congress.

He won't
Perhaps Microsoft, seeing Linux and Apple as viable threats to their Windows monopoly, is taking more aggressive steps to hold on to it?

EA gamers suffer from Stockholm syndrome?
Linking games to gamer's internet forum accounts?
Yeah, don't you love that? They've completely eliminated the ability to sell your old games.
Further proof that EA is the Microsoft of the video game industry: a policy that says "Fuck you, we're EA."
Actually, come to think of it, I'd use a lot more if Time Warner didn't cap my uploads at a paltry 500kbps.

the robot would assume that if the human got three squares and a cot, and better medical care than being on the run, there was no harm.
Great, if that's how the robot thinks, we'll have them running around throwing all kinds of random poor people in jail.
Gives a whole new meaning to LBJ's "War on Poverty."

Don't be so sure about that
Could it be that there are more console gamers because nobody makes PC games?
I mean Microsoft was actively involved in trying to move people from PCs to consoles. (Why?)

I'm not sure about that. I'll bet there are a lot of people trying to come up with a creative way to go home early after 4PM.
Even if leaders aren't elected, what's to stop special interests from offering them bribes?

But what if that study is wrong?
Everything I say is a lie. Except that. And that. And that...

Just curious, how much time during your sleep do you spend dreaming?
I don't usually remember dreams. When I do, it's usually because I wake up early and go back to sleep.
Well, there has been some studies that show the body releases DMT when having vivid dreams. So your body may be getting you high without knowing.
So is the release of DMT the cause or the effect?

These aren't the guns you're looking for.

The same is true of any PC.
