Bloody hell... you *pay* to get "only" 5 telemarketing calls in a *month*?
And Americans wonder why the world thinks they're strange?
Don't you think you're over-reacting a bit? It's not that shocking if you realize that I pay just barely over what a can of Coke costs to have my phone number removed from the public telephone directories. Fewer telemarketing calls is simply a side-effect. And, actually, 5 was a bit of an exaggeration. In the past 6 weeks, I've only recieved one telemarketing call.
For long horizontal stretches, slingshots can be your best friend. (sounds stupid, but it works)
The best thing to use when pulling cable is to tie a pull string to the end of some fish tape. Then, pull your cable back through using the pull string.
Fish tape rocks. It works great for long, straight pulls and tight U-turns... and everything in between.
Basically, I want to see Archer kick a giant lizard in the love spuds, chuck one up a seven breasted alien bimbo, fight off a Gooboid battle fleet, and then vapourise a couple of small planets just for laughs - and all before breakfast. Any chance of that?
hahaha. that reminds me of Red Dwarf. ahhh... the Boys from the `Dwarf... good stuff.
Apparently, McNealy had a hard time speaking during the event, which was held in New York City, due to the death of a long-time Sun employee in the terrorist attacks on the WTC.
CNET article:
The system can simultaneously use 900MHz processors with faster models yet to come. However, each partition requires all processors to run at the same speed, so faster chips will have to run in a partition of their own.
As someone who does nothing with these types of systems, nor follows them, I think it's great that you can have different processor speeds using "partitions."
I wonder if memory is treated the same way... i.e., separated by "partitions," or if you also have a choice to use it as one, large unified memory resource... or, I wonder if memory can be dynamically partitioned... hmm.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it... are all of the processor partitions considered peers? I mean, are the partitions all treated as if they were a single processor... then treated equally?
So you're saying:
"There is no sun because I cannot touch it."
"There is nothing inside the box because I cannot see inside it."
"Calculus does not exist because I do not know it."
You're like a child who thinks that an object completely disappears from existence once it passes behind another object.
Tell me, in your universe: does the world cease to exist when you close your eyes? when you cover your eyes and play "hide-and-seek?"
By the way, your use of "epistemology" does not negate your cowardly nature.
And ask a colour-blind person, or one of those people with the extra thingies (technical term) in their eyes that let them see more colours, what colour that stop sign is. Oops, it's subjective.
I think you mean tetrachromat.
Anyway, your response is dead wrong. The stop sign has one color. One true color. It cannot be two colors at the same time and it is not subjective. The human comprehension, opinion, best guess is subjective... but the absolute truth is not.
A person who has better vision than I, or the ability to see better than I, can still be incorrect.
It's sad that your flawed logic has received 2 (thus far).
by the way, his post was almost funny at one point: "However, some doubt remained in my mind: how did I know that this was not a hoaxer using a computer?"
This whole notion of a HomeStation is what I thought XBOX should have been all along.
When I first heard about XBOX, I thought that MS would try to do a gaming console with DVD capability, MP3/streaming audio, maybe some home automation stuff, TiVo capability, and things like voicemail.
MS is entering some interesting territory, they are COMPETING with their own customers. Compaq, Dell, IBM *also* sell PCs for this purpose... I wonder how they will feel when the XBox v2.0 starts to serve the same functions, in the home setting, as their product.
Maybe something like: Microsoft HomeStation, by Compaq?

I feel the same way -- but, about personal firearms.

Why do you sound bitter? Are you depressed or bipolar?
Why do you swear so much?
Why should I care about you?
Sorry, I had to ask.
I'm spending $0.75/mo. for "nonpublish" service. I haven't recieved more than 5 telemarketing calls in a month.
Still, sometimes reactive measures are necessary.

Yeah, titanium was big in golf because it's pretty strong, handles torque pretty well, and it's relatively light-weight.
Now that I think about it, my wedding ring is mostly titanium. Funny.

The Register has an article about the launch of the StarCat including a quote where McNealy said, with tears in his eyes, "God I hate my job."
Apparently, McNealy had a hard time speaking during the event, which was held in New York City, due to the death of a long-time Sun employee in the terrorist attacks on the WTC.

Just because there's a difference of opinion doesn't mean there isn't an absolute.
We may not agree on what color the stop sign is... you say blue, I say green... but there is always an absolute truth... red.
True... I saw some on Emeril's tv show on the Food Network the other night.
You're missing my point...
It seemed as though he wanted to hear a bunch of buzzwords and hype to try and sell it.
Perhaps they are not targeting you? Some people care a little bit more about personality over a bunch of PDA techno buzz words.
Uh.... I don't think so. Some people are just insane enough to do horrible things like this, no matter what.
Furthermore, Utopia is impossible... one will always have enemies: some people are always looking for trouble.
I pity your ignorance. Bush is not the kind of person to do or think such a horrid thing. You are disgusting.
abcnews.com has been doing just fine. they switched to "light" mode way before everyone else.
