In the new Xbox Forza Motorsport there are plenty of off track ads, bridges with Mazda, Road & Track on them. In the New York Track I've seen Toys 'R' Us, Powerade, Xbox Live, Microsoft Game Studios and some more that go by too fast. I should stop and see what they all are.
They're all off track ads so I don't mind them at all and they actually deliver some realism into the game for me.
I'm already envisioning a Planet of the Apes scenario. Implanting human brain cells into monkeys instead of mice. There's enough room there to mimic the human brain. I can see it.
Yeah I just watched 28 days on teh weekend as a downloaded Xvid on my modded Xbox and didn't see anything wrong with it. It was actually a very good copy.
What's to say that I downloaded one and I said I paid for it from starroms. How does anyone know the difference? I have an Asteroids romset at home. I could easily say I paid for it and nobody would be the wiser.
Canada's largest ISP implemented bandwidth caps while the competitors didn't. Several months later the caps were removed because customers fled to the competitor.
Any ISP would need everyone in their competing market to agree to introduce bandwidth caps or it will fail. That's good for the consumer but bad for the ISPs.
Well, using Popfile, it shows what percentage is SPAM and what percentage is good email. So far this year out of 3459 emails, 71% is spam and the remaining 29% is good email. I hate spam as much as the next guy but with Popfile, I never see it. I use it at work and at home.
My Thinkpad 600 reports a full battery and after about 30 minutes of use it says there's less than 5% left. It just drops off like that. Crappy. I use my laptop mainly plugged in so it doesn't bother me but still....
I've been forced into whitelisting because some spammer thought it would be a good idea to start using my email address as the reply-to address for all his spam. All the bounced messages come back to me. I get about 200 bounced messages per day from so many different domains. Add that to the regular 30-40 spam messages per day. I've had my email address for almost 5 years and I use it for work as well so I don't want to change it.
I've set my mail programs to see if it's email from someone on my whitelist and if it's not then it replies with a text message explaining why I can't accept email from them but if it's important to email me or they should be on my whitelist then to email a throwaway account that I check less frequently and I'll add them.
With Videotron here in Quebec we can change as many channels on our digital cable as we want, when we want right over the phone at no charge so I don't see why Rogers couldn't do something similar. Changes take effect before hanging up.
The local cable company here in Canada charges us 10.00/month for the digital cable box which we bought from them for 129.00 so we don't even pay that. They have this thing that's 20.00 for 20 channels, plus 1.50 or so for every other channel you want. You also have to pay 8.95/month for a basic set of 50 some odd channels.
When I first got cable about 4 years ago the guy came over with his laptop and got everything working. Then I told him to leave the PC alone and I would take care of everything else. He said ok, I signed and he left. Easy as pie.
I was a beta tester...

...and it never once worked on my Thinkpad 600. I was sent 3 different versions and none of them would boot to install. I've booted from the CDROM to install Windows, Redhat, Mandrake and Debian. Now to be fair to them, Corel Linux wouldn't boot from the CD neither and Xandros is based upon that former distro. YMMV.
I used to work for a courier and anything that had "Fragile" on it was fair game to be mistreated. The mentality was that if it's fragile, then the sender should've had the sensability to pack it properly. Now I must mention here that I was also 17 years old at the time or around there.

Well I have to say that I strongly dislike atrongarm tactics like this and will never buy a Creative product again.
:)
I'm only too happy to mention that I just built myself a whole new gaming rig and it doesn't have one single Creative product in it.
Me too please. :)

He'll be accessing the Internet for the first time in 8 years live on the screensavers on techtv tomorrow.
I tried to read the Carmack interviews and 2 out of 3 were dead links. :-/
How's he going to know it's a dupe to delete it? He obviously isn't reading the front page so why bother reading the comments? Sad but true.
This story is still on the front page and it's being duped. At least wait a couple of days so some people will forget they read it.
It's sad that Slashdot is coming to this.
Oops, after sending the text message the email is then deleted so I never even see it. I left that part out. :-/

The only thing that happened was a blank, blue page?

What would he do then? I would tell him to hook up the cable, let me sign and then he can leave.
Maybe what you were signing said that you agreed to all of those EULA's that has clicked on your behalf?

It was also used to run many classic arcade machines such as Pac-Man.

Are there any faster mirrors anywhere yet? The Redhat FTP is brutally slow. :(
Thanks.
So what does Kernel 2.2.18 (2.4 option included) really mean? Can we install kernel 2.4 from the distribution?
