Which when watching any 16:9 material (ie all hdtv) gives you a resolution of 1024x576, a far cry from the 1920x1080 of true 1080i HDTV, and not all that much better than DVD (864x480 effective when shown on a device with square pixels, ie an LCD projector).
Also you have the noise of the projector fan and the simple fact that a CRT does much better on dark colors than any $1500 projector will do.
Yes I know I'm being picky, but these are issues that exist with projectors.
I don't think it's cultural, I think it's hormonal. Animals (including humans) are wired to find fertility attractive. 16 year old girls are very fertile. Then again naturally I think most of us would die before age 30, so 16 would be middle aged.
Not always true. PA's laws are written w/o respect to gender. PA's age of consent is 16, unless both people are within 4 years of age or are married, then it's 13. Now I will agree that men are much more likely to be prosecuted, when a teenage boy sleeps with an older woman there almost an attitude of "well done", where when it's a girl and an older man people tend to want to castrate the man.
I'm pretty sure SpotLight is a bit more than a desktop utility. It does live indexing which would need some hooks into the OS to know when files are changed, either that or it would re-index everything constantly, which would suck.
Its sad to see people put celebrity before principal, if this were Microsoft making these arguments against Samba, rather than Linus' friend making them against this Tridge guy, there would be no question as to which side most slashdotters would come down on.
You mean this Tridge guy? The guy who wrote Samba?
I work at a university and we were told by the "tech support" staff for a business simulation app that is used in some classes, that the users need domain admin access for the software to work properly. That's right, not local admin, domain. The program is a buggy POS too. Half the error messages are in French, it bombs about 50% of the time if the data directory and program directory are on different drives, it must have full rights to some of its directories in program files, and it randomly corrupts itself so that it needs to be reinstalled. Oh and it can't have zeros on the passwords for any of the teams, but the admin client will happily create random passwords that contain zeros.
Yes, when you need to research something on google, and some random mailing list archive has the answer to your problem, but the site is blocked by the proxy server, that's great for productivity.
I don't mean to be a bastard, but was there a point to that post? First you say the parent is wrong, then you say maybe it's right. Next you say that White Box and CentOS are the same project, then you point at that they apparently aren't.
The same could be said about conservatives and Republicans. All political parties are full of bastards. You just need to pick the party that agrees with your views most of the time, and yell at them when they don't.
Yeah and Balthasar was a demon in the movie, despite traditionally being one of the three magi that visited Jesus at his birth. The other two being Melchior and Casper.
Then I'm assuming you disable all images. They're a huge security concern since they can make your browser run around going to sites that you didn't intend to visit.
Most people would define "looks" as being physically attractive, a trait which, while not mutually exclusive with, has nothing at all to do with intelligence. Perhaps you just meant attractive, which can cover any number of traits, but to say someone is good looking based on intelligence is lying.
No it just was a dull movie that meandered lazily from scene to scene. It was full of absurd plot holes, such as the fact that no one, not even the cops, ever bothered to look at a picture, even after they suspected that the man they were looking for was an imposter. The characters were completely without any emotion, and at the end I really didn't care if he got arrested or not. It really wouldn't have changed much of anything.
The liability depends on your bank. My check card has $0 liability for credit card transactions and $50 for ATM/debit transactions (requiring my PIN). IMHO, $50 is a good fee for leaving the PIN written down. It's not that hard to remember 4 digits, most people over the age of 5 have no trouble remembering their phone number.
Get a credit union. My credit unions refunds ATM fees charged by other banks. Ie, I go to bank C, take out $20, bank C adds on $2. My credit union at the end of the month gives me an extra $2 so the net cost of using bank C's ATM is $0 to me. Of course I do my best to never use an ATM that charges fees because the more money my credit union has, the higher interest rates they pay out, and occasionally they give year end bonuses to members if they had a really good year. Also, I find ATM fees to be nothing but pure greed.
On Debian its something like (I'm not a Debian user):
apt-get install firefox
Both will resolve and install all dependencies for you and will finish a lot faster since they don't need to compile, just download and install binary packages. It's all about personal preference.
Besides, I think Gentoo has a BSD style ports tree.
That being said, if someone were to give me one of these LCDs I'd take it in a second. I've seen Samsung's 46" LCD and despite it being "only" 1920x1080 the display was quite beautiful, even when used as a computer monitor.
Why bother? Tiger will be out in 3 to 4 months and will come with Spot Light. From what I've seen Spot Light is basically Google Desktop, but integrated into the OS.

If you read the article you'd know that you're right, and that the author of the article tested several SVHS tapes and they worked fine.

My history professor newcular too, I just want to throw a shoe at him every time he does it.
The dual core Power5 CPUs lack Altivec, the theoretical dual core G5s will have Altivec. IIRC a G5 is basically a lower end Power5 with Altivec.

Ooops, that'll learn me to read more carefully in the future.
Thanks for clarifying.

No one cares. Really, no one cares.
Not in the Philadelphia, PA area. All Wawa's have surcharge free ATMs.
He's right, "See ID" is not a valid signature on a credit card. Technically no merchant should accept the card.
