  1. Re:People called Roman, they go towards the house? on Always Look on the Bright Side of Life · · Score: 1

    I can't speak for the parent poster but here are some of the problems I have.

    1. I think it is Mel milking a certain group for all he can get from them. I think he is in it first and foremost for the money and the buzz.

    2. Why? Why in the hell do we need hours of blood and gore. I don't think it sends any kind of message that would help us to live better lives and be better to each other. Which is really what the whole message of Jesus is about.

    Having said that I should explain myself. While I have some serious doubts about the literal truth of a lot of stuff in the Bible I think that at the core it is about being better to others than we might otherwise be and to some large degree helps many people to do just that. So using and abusing the story the way Mel has done seems to be to be a bad thing.

  2. Re:Uh, CompUSA? on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    That does not answer the question. Unless getting a Dell is a big deal why not just hook up with a friend and go to Costco?

    Basically he quit but they never made him move out and he still has offices there. Among other places it is mentioned here.

    Since Pixar just told Disney to go piss up a rope somehow I think not.

    Never heard of the "skip" button have you?

  8. Re:Hrmm... on Security Warrior · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes yes it is. I have my copy in my bag right now. This is worth reading no matter what you do in IT. But I would come to this after reading Beyond Fear at least once and Secrets and Lies at least twice.

  10. Re:nVidia Desktop Explorer does this on windows on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1

    A friend here at work runs the XP thing and this is not what the parent is talking about. When he says one panel fills 1/4 of the screen that is exactly what he means. Since no pagers under Linux do this I can't see them being covered by the patent because of this but he certainly is not talking about what E or KDE does.

    1u servers tend to be less odd than laptops?

    You can't even install Debian on a Poweredge without non-standard boot disks. You are very confused about what I'm talking about.

    I've run Knoppix with no problem on several brandnew Poweredge servers from Dell and several brandnew desktop machines. I think your feeding the troll.

  16. Re:Good. on Disney's Disposable DVDs Deemed Duds · · Score: 1

    Here New DVDs are 2.99 for a week sometimes 2 days on big ones. You are right I don't think they have taken the price on old DVDs down yet. They should do that though. Here is a OT but interesting question.

    Don't know if anybody cares but I just got this today.

    Thanks for your interest in orkut.com. The orkut user base began with its creator Orkut Buyukkokten, who invited his friends to join. They in turn invited their friends, and soon the network was born.

    In order to keep orkut a trusted community, you must be invited by a current member. Over the next few weeks, we hope that this community grows to a point where everyone who wants to join has the opportunity.

    Keep checking with your friends. There may be an orkut member lurking among you.

    Stay connected,
