Except the mountaintop joy ride is generally not an everyday occurance. The everyday usage of cars is to/from work or the grocery store.
If everyone was using the bus instead of their cars, the buses wouldn't be full of homeless, unbathed, psychos. They'd be full of regular people going to work.
I say crank up the price of gas and let people take the buses to work. I think it'd be cool if the highways were crammed full of busses instead of cars. The vehicle to person ratio would be a lot better and we'd use fuel much more efiiciently.
SONET rings have redundant fibers built into the spec. I'm not sure if the extra fibers could be counted as "dark" or leased to other companies when not in use, though. But who knows how many SONET rings were built up in the late 90's, only to be torn down a few years later with all the extra fiber still laid?
No kidding. My PC was literally unusable, as was my mom's after the upgrade to 8.0. Switched to antivir and now it's fine. I'll not be using AVG unless antivir goes titsup, now. And even then I'll probably try avast before going back to AVG...
Has anyone else noticed that AVG 8 is also DOG SLOW on their PC? My computer is from 2001 and ran fine with 7.5, but 8.0 is unusably slow. Every time an application is opened it takes forever for AVG to scan it and let the app open. This combined with this linkscanner bullcrap has caused me to switch. I doubt I'll ever go back.
This is exactly why I don't put ANY pictures of myself or friends up on the web unless I have no other choice, and then I only leave them there long enough to get the job done. The PUBLIC internet is a terrible place to put anything personal.

Stay FAR AWAY.
The problem with OOo is that you always need a copy of MS Office around to verify your document before you send it anywhere important. I'm not sending a resume from OOo to an employer without checking to see if it opens and looks right in MS Office first...
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
When you abbreviate all the words in a phrase to their first letters and combine them into something that isn't a word, I think the term for it is 'initialism'
I thought the word was "Elitism". Or maybe just "malarkey".
The only thing missing is a built-in shortcut to open a command prompt.
Yeah, but you can always win+r, then cmd+enter, and voila. No mouse needed, anyway.;)

With any of these RAID methods make sure you pay attention to your disk controllers as well. If you have a controller go out and all the disks on that controller go with it, what happens to your array? Things to keep in mind...
People make mistakes all the time though. and which of the lowest paid peons in the system wants to be the guy that tells management they have to re-sterilize everything because they accidentally forgot to wash their hands before they touched a screw?
Tier 4 is even becoming dated enough that most people skip it and jump right into Tier 5. You are assuming a player starts right now, but if you have been playing since the beginning, you will have completed all previous tiers and continued to pay for the followups, as per Blizzard's ultimate plan.
The multitude of sensory stimulation at the beach is far greater than any video game. No matter how detailed the graphics and sound of a game are, real life will always have higher definition. Not to mention, the real world also includes better tactile response, plus olfactory and gustatory stimulation as well.
The main difference, as I see it, is the controllers for the real world are more difficult to use. Game rules allow you to do outlandish things with ease (i.e. cut someone's head off to see what color they bleed). However, in order to activate some of the real world's more outlandish sensory stimulation features, could require more extensive manipulation (i.e. You have to take her to dinner and a movie before you can taste her naughty bits).
The world is what you make of it. Games are just the easy way out.
And no matter the amounts of data, no matter the computing power, I don't think pure statistics will ever be able to analyze human language efficiently.
I would assume that a blank stare would be the most common face made when viewing TV. Especially if it's something that starts with "America's..." or "Celebrity...".

Map under the lakes of Titan? We can't even do that with EARTH's oceans yet.
They also left off "Druge Dealer" which I'm sure has a way higher mortality rate. They should have maybe specified "legal" professions.

Except Windows NT was based on OS/2. And they didn't really get that right until at least NT4 (some would argue Win2k).
So I should think blaming the sun is putting the cart before the horse.
No, no. I'm pretty sure without the sun there'd be no greenhouse effect.
