Anything decent needs investment. Sure solar panels, for instance, aren't free but as long as the sun is around they'll generate energy and the return will be greater than the initial outlay.
I don't think Iran is the only one doing it and you should be glad that a lot of countries do have an interest in the US not falling flat on it's face because if oil was sold in Euros or the Yuan only you'd be up shit creek and wouldn't be able to threaten Iran with war.
Europe gets the shaft in gaming compared to Japan and the US. Hopefully things will balance out and we won't be treated like lepers by gaming companies.
Of course, typical Americans; cleaning up after europe shits all over the place. Abolishing slavery, abolishing monarchies, reinstating civil rights and real courts, cleaning up the mess left in the Middle-East by the English (I'd love to applaud the people who drew those maps up, geniuses amongst men they must have been to mix kurds, sunnis, and shias), and defending Europe as much as they could from facists, from communists. Europe abolished slavery first and its citizens generally get more protection where as the US tends to favor business.
As far as Isreal, I didn't hear the US object to giving them the land and it's the US that defends Isreal these days more than anyone else.
Going after Iraq for 9/11 isn't cleaning up after Europe. It's making an excuse for Jr to do what daddy didn't do. Though Bush senior, in general, while being called a wimp was more sensible and at least was leaned more to being a sensible republican. It was he who helped make businesses accomodate people with disabilities. Just as Nixon made an attempt to help the environment with creating the EPA.
Since the Clinton era, the republican party has really gone to hell. In fact US politics in general have gone to hell. That's what's hurting the US more than anything and it makes me glad I've moved out of there years ago.
As I recall the US only recently caught up with the rest of the world in regards to unlocking phones and what not. Though I do wonder how much it's changed because it seems weird that Sony Ericsson doesn't want to sell phones in the US or has avoided selling in the US until recently.
While my router is working fine, my Windows laptop's shares fail to show up on my other machines and this happened straight after installing SP3 and all my settings imply nothing has changed. I just need to get another Windows machine in here to see if it's only being ignored by Linux machines.
Maybe it's a coincidence and maybe it's not. The only way to know for sure is if Microsoft honestly comments on it.
Paying something for the phone doesn't mean paying more for the phone is ok. The Razr 2 sim free is £170 on Play.com. £20 per month x 18 months is £360. After subtracting the cost of the phone that would work out to be a £10 per month contract. Sim-only contracts start at £15 per month.
So yes while you technically pay for the phone it is effectively free especially when compared to the States where you pay for the phone up front and in the contract and, in the particular deal I looked at, you get less minutes and text messages.
Well duh but can you pay $250.00 for a Motorola MOTORAZRÂ V9m and having to take on a $40 p.m. 2 year contract in the US.
In the UK it's free on a £20 per month 18 month contract.
£20 is roughly $40 USD so you could say that per month it's the same cost except the US contract is 6 months longer and you paid $250.00 for the phone.
That's with a quick browse. I'm sure I could find someone offering half price line rental for x amount of months too. I think I did quite well when I got my HTC based Orange M3100 for free on a £25 per month contract when most people were having to pay like £50 or more on £40 per month or higher contracts. I got really lucky on that other than getting stuck with Orange and their shitty customer service. I think we just have more competition so they'll give better deals, imo.
I haven't bought a phone for awhile in the US so I'm not sure if they buy out contracts over there but if you were tired of the phone before your 18 months were up there is a fair chance you could switch early and the new provider will buy your remaining months on the old contract or you can stay on the same provider and get a free upgrade phone which probably will extend your contract but if you intended on staying with them that's a small price to pay for getting a second new phone.
Like with hosting rules don't seem to apply and you can promise everything under the sun. An 8 meg unlimited connection probably will be anything but 8 meg or unlimited. So why in the hell is it ok to advertise it as such?
It's a free market, let the ISPs do what they want with their traffic but they better tell the consumer *exactly* what is done so the consumer can make a decent decision.
You would get it with a 3G modem which meant to be used with the laptop. Once you quit paying for it you don't get the internet service but the laptop still functions. Just as I can quit paying for my phone but the phone still does it's other bits and in fact I can take it elsewhere for phone service.
I'm not sure where in Europe you've been to but most people I know get their phone on a contract (hence the reason they complained about being able to unlock their phone after the contract) and the only people that buy phones are PAYG customers who buy cheap old models or people buying a cheap old model phone for their kid.
From my experience the biggest difference is in Europe you get decent phones for free on a contract where as it's more common to pay something for the phone *and* have a contract in the US.
And as the old are increasingly out numbering the young, then they have no chance in hell of getting their voice heard.
Thank god I'm not like 12 and have to look forward to a future of legions of old grumpy pricks crying about their social security drying up and expecting me to work 24 hours a day so they can afford adult diapers.
THe older generations are the ones that have screwed things up. So let's make them help us fix it by replacing oil with old people as a fuel.
Cinepaint (Film Gimp) uses higher definition formats. I'm not sure what it uses but if it's good enough for making movies I can't see anyone complaining.
I had an Orange SPV M3100 which is an HTC windows mobile 5 based phone and it was quite honestly the biggest hassle I've ever had with a phone.
It was glitchy and had issue with displaying jpg backgrounds but only sometimes. It would completely forget it's calibration settings but not on a consistent basis. It'd be fine for months then it would forget them every time I turn it on for a week. It is also the only phone I've ever had that, if it loses the signal for any extended period of time it has to be turned off to find a signal.
Having said all of that it wasn't the worst phone I've ever had. I loved having Wifi on a phone. However Nokia's N95 phones offer the same sort of features but run better and have better game support. My biggest problems with the phone stem from the fact Orange is quite possibly the shittiest phone company ever.
People may expect problems with their desktop but with phones and similar devices they expect it to just work and Windows Mobile doesn't offer that as well as the others.
Why pick Ruby unless they're just trying to look trendy.
Marketing towards a group (trend whore web designers) of people that switch technologies more often than than undies won't help your technology take off. Certainly when these people usually have shit programming skills so their advocacy for these new technologies never go that far.
That's sort of besides the point. In fact that makes it worse that they have had involvement with a criminal and she openly denies dealings with him despite the fact there is tons of proof.
So yeah the guy might be a scum bag and his side of the story might be rubbish but they still had dealings with that scum bag and lied about it. Just like a lot of other things they've lied or how the missing whitewater documents weren't found straight away and yet it's proven she's handled them but some how didn't know where they were? Yeah maybe Whitewater wasn't a huge deal but then why lie about it?
Someone who lies a lot about little things will lie about big things too.

If you are going to bring up World War 2 then let's talk about how the US treated the Japanese.

I can ping the machine and my selpoc.msc settings are set properly.
I will have to try changing my workgroup and unsharing / sharing my folders again and see if that sorts it. Thanks for the tips!

Works fine for me.

It looks like an amateur Doom 3 mod.
I heard he spends his days playing Battlefield Vietnam but he's a bit shit at it and he's always getting captured.
Are we talking about when you first bought it or after 6 months use? For windows that seems to make a huge difference.
