Is the noise from this worse than that Explorer rumbling down the street?
Yes. God yes. There are kids where I live that have these scooters with tiny 2-stroke engines, and they are SO LOUD! They wake me up (on the weekends, when I can sleep in) all the time with their unmuffled, high-pitched noise. The Explorer's sound is a low-pitch, muffled noise, more easily silenced by the walls of my house. I hate those damn things.
I have fantasies of taking my sportbike out in front of their house and redlining the engine at 13.5k RPM until flames start coming out of the exhaust. At 3am. Serves 'em right.
Anyway, between the noise and the increased pollution from 2-stroke engines, all you're doing right by riding this instead of taking the explorer is not burning as much gas.
I think you just put your finger on why AMD sales are down. Opteron is so hyped up people are waiting for that.
I blame: 1) non-gamers/power users don't need a new PC 2) economy sucks 3) Athlon kicked butt when it came out, but Intel came back with some nice, fast chips. And hyperthreading. Mmm, delicious hyperthreading... 4) ??? 5) No profit!
If you are a crap company however and anything would cause your clients to walk out on you then yes you have to get down on your knees and open wide and pray that someone has made sure your charging enough to be able to do this cause if you increase your prices or stop brown-nosing their gone.
Punctuation: use more of it. People will take you more seriously if you do.
Despite their increasingly sophisticated design, the current crop of Windows root kits are generally not completely undetectable, and Slanret is no exception. Because it relies on a device driver, booting in "safe mode" will disable its cloaking mechanism, rendering its files visible.
Somebody read the article, read his comment, and said, "what great insight this man must have! Similar to my own exceptional insight. I must mod him up, which is in a way like modding myself up. I am so kewl. Mod, mod".
One I remember from awhile back was stealth.c, which you couldn't detect once it got into memory. It intercepted calls to memory and didn't return anything related to it. It was stored on the boot sector of your HD, and if you loaded an OS from the HD, even in Safe Mode, you were SOL.

if it is a Win2k box, you can enable the terminal service
Point of clarification: W2K Professional does not have terminal services available to it, although Server and Advanced Server both do. WXP has it tho, and it's nice and easy to use.
*no, I don't like it either. But Bush won Florida. There was a hand count that took place well after the official recount that said so. If only by a few hundred votes, and even if that butterfly ballot in one state caused a lot of would-be Gore voters to choose Pat "the racist" Buchanan. That wasn't rigged, or at least not obviously so.
Unless they get agreements with lots of ISPs to multicast content, I don't think this is going to happen, due to the massive amount of bandwidth and the unpredictibility of internet traffic (see The Slashdot Effect, only instead of a 100KB page, it's a 100MB show). And even then the sheer number of channels that would be available (if this caught on, it'd be like streaming audio in it's heyday--almost an uncountable number of stations) would make even this an all but insurmountable task. The ISPs would only be able to multicast a limited number of stations, and - guess who gets shut out of that equation? You and me. Maybe your IPv6 URIs takes care of that, I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like a difficult situation at best.
I checked out his year in review 2002 article, and I found this humorous: 2002 year in review: November In a somber post-election speech, the president reaffirms his solemn commitment, no matter how long it takes, to learn to pronounce ''nuclear.''
Anyone see his State of the Union speech? He mis-pronounced "Nuclear" no less than three times. To quote Peter Griffin, "It's nu-cu-lar, dummy, the S is silent."
does it seem like the whole PC graphics market has gotten well ahead of their consumers and software (i.e. games)?
Nah. Ever played Battlefield: 1942? If you're planning on sniping someone on a hill 400 yards away, you'd better be running above 640x480. I bought a 128MB Radeon 9500 pro to replace my 64MB Geforce 2 MX so that I could up my resolution. Next, I'm going to buy 512MB more RAM(currently running 384MB, need more!!!), so that the maps load faster. In short, while the GF2MX was good for Quake 3, if you want to play new games, you usually need new hardware. There's always more eye candy that you can turn on - anti-aliasing, antistropic filtering, etc that can tax your video card.
So, the two statements(Xian, RPG) are not related? Bah.
It's easy to hide who you are on the 'net--though I wouldn't call that "magical."
It's magical because the only thing people have to judge you by is what you have to say. They don't care if you're Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, or Shintoist(sp?). When you start saying that your point of view coincides with christians, or republicans, or whatever, you start to divide people, segment them. What you have to say--who you are--needs to stand on it's own. On the internet, you don't need anyone to know that you're Christian, any more than anyone needs to know that I'm black. I don't have a.sig that says, "I'm black and I'm proud", because it adds nothing to the conversation. That's just the way I feel.
I am what I am and I don't care to hide it.
You're not hiding it, you're telling anybody who reads your post. That's different.
You are, of course, welcome to keep your.sig. Free speech and all. But I don't see what it adds.

I disagree. Left hand, OK symbol. Right hand, you can't really tell, but you have to assume the thumb is on the right side, it looks that way.
You need to give them stuff. My girls like steering wheels and guns.

Okay, so you used the word Weed twice in your post, and the word Addiction three times. Pothead. ;)

I gave up looking online for a job about 9 months ago. It's pretty much just a way to sell ads and to collect info.
Yeah. The Internet sucks.

In the media, your innocence or guilt is determined by whatever sounds best.

You mean, versus the predominantly conservative, uptight culture before the hippie era? I'd say that we are.
they shouldn't be considering a merger with InterBrew
They'd be UniBrew. Because you only need one brew.
Nooa, I needsh 8!. Gimmean other bear!
