...it would only be valid for one tank of gas, making it a very expensive tank of gasoline for a would-be criminal.

Multiply by the number of people walking by, filter so that you don't nail people more than once a week. Hell, I could a transponder+wireless gateway that did that via an internet payment gateway.
Thanks, though I'll still have to take it to someone to take the HDD out, I took out all the screws once and still couldn't get the thing open (it's a laptop conspiracy!).
It sucks that it's hosed though, I figure I'll save my pennies and get a powerbook next time (with 36mo AppleCare since everyone says to get it).
Ditto, Presario 2700 that no longer boots. I'd rather send it to them and gasp... *PAY* them to fix it, but they keep shoving me off to the cluebots at Circuit City and Best Buy.
If anyone can help, it tries to boot, gets to the loading screen then freezes after the speaker does a funky little chirp (very low). The fan powered up massively up to this point, then the whole damn thing freezes. Every so often the thing actually boots and I'm able to get more stuff off of it (trying to salvage photos and projects + 11GB of MP3s, heh). I figure the answer from some clueless BB/CC tech is to replace the mobo and HD, not cheap. Anyone heard of this?
San Andres is probably Los Angeles. However another post said that some name was "Sin City", so maybe Las Vegas (which would be a cool tie-in to the mobster theme).
I'm honestly hoping that GTA6 (or whatever they call it for the nextgen platforms) is online gameplay and people can start gangs and mafias of their own. It's a good series but the single player thing is going to get old after a while.
This is the farce of outsourcing, the claim is to cut the fat, trim overhead, etc etc. The fact is, the fat that is easiest to cut (executive salaries, executive benefits, etc etc), or as I like to call it, the fat at the top, is rarely cut. Instead these corporate morons choose to cut the fat that is closest to the bone (and thus ensuring a dry, tasteless lump of finished product).
I'm not saying that it is never prudent to cut call-center staff or other lower-end jobs, but watching a company lay off 5000 people, then turn around and reward executives with bonuses is bad business.
I've been looking at Costa Rica and some other South/Central American countries myself. I'm going to turn 26 this year so I think that takes the draft stress off, but still, this country is getting a little to wacko and I think I will take the asshole advice and leave, after all, our forefathers did it.
Besides, I think the only thing that could fix this country is a bonafide revolution, and since our 2nd ammendment is a joke, I don't think it would succeed.
I'm sure it's been said, but there's always people willing to pay for premium adult content. The company I work at (NationalNet) makes it's money off of hosting primarily adult sites (although the company cut it's teeth and started off as porn sites like everyone else). Now we have two full datacenters in the fiber alley of Atlanta and are doing about three mid-size acquisitions a year.
This is a year of growth and expansion for hosts with solid businesses.
We like to punish the masses for the sins of the few, it makes us feel good about shit.
Some dumbass can't be trusted to drink coffee without burning his crotch? Ok, then coffee is now piss-warm.
Some fuckers think it's a good idea to drink 10 beers and then careen home? Yippee, now we'll just pull over everyone coming out of a bar.
Some jackass thought it was a great idea to install a datacenter in his front seat, complete with LCD monitors? Yeah, now you're not allowed to have legitimate navigation software (I hope everyone realizes that they will be breaking the law anyways, because there is a computer embedded in your car, under the dash usually, that controls braking, fuel economy and many other things).

In 1974 it was called Watergate.
What do you think environmental groups would have to say about it?
Rain? That's odd.

If you build it, they will use it, duh.
BTW, they already charge me by the mile, it's called the gas tax.
Just an FYI for the moderators...

HAHA, I use Aqua Dock on XP and I find it ironic that Apple people have a shittier time with their dock.
Of course my next computer is still going to be a powerbook.

Not that I would of course.
They already charge twice as much as a CD is worth.

It's still a good idea though, though I wonder if it could lead to incumbants refusing to vacate their office?
Rockstar should hire that guy.

They're working out the bugs, apparently the game crashes a lot.

Do you see this many 'funny' messages on non-rated forums?

My stereo is a video display, my tachometer, speedometer, gas gauge, engine temp are all displays.

Are you trying to karma whore off the text of the blurb? Let me know how that works out.
