What the hell is a V4? aren't most 4 cylinders not V's?
One is the economy model, it's a V4 engine and no extras. The other is the luxury model, which is a V4 engine with gold-plated spark plugs and automatic everything.

Go to qnxstart.com qnxtc.com or just open up the qnx repository.. there is a great irc client.. called phIRC there is also an ICQ clone.. several word processing packages have been ported.. The only thing I use on a regular basis that hasn't found its way to qnx yet is an aol instant messenger client but I can live without talking to the relatives for a while so thats not even a big deal.. -Z

Is UNIX An OS?

interesting.. so does that mean any 'mac os' isnt an OS because it doesnt ship with free cell... I would almost buy that:)

Interesting...So if I need to relax in order to remain productive, and I relax by playing freecell, therefore freecell is part of the OS. Every essentially maintains that any software that is shipped with the kernel, no matter how irrelevant, is part of the OS.
Did it occur to just me that Every is stupid stupid stupid?
Come on.. UNIX OS's arent OS's because they are just a kernel with some stuff on top but mac OS X is an OS because its a unix kernel with a bunch of stuff on top marketed ask separate components..
I suppose one must consider what the target audience is for macs and consider the cultish way mac fans cling to their computers/os and declining apple stock..
I swear some people will say anything to justify their os/hardware of choice.. although whats sad is something that ignorant was allowed to be widely circulated..
Aren't tape players normally setup to go in forward and reverse? Wouldn't you just have to wire it like the appropriate directional button was pushed?:recorder motor but I had to do some major:(or minor depending on how skilled you are:with these things) mods to the motor:including getting it to spin in the:right direction.
Actually if you read the page.. which I stumbled across almost a year ago.. it says you need a small motor which you can often find in a broken vcr or floppy drive..
aww but then you have to share all that bandwidth.. granted its free so that kinda helps..
you really should get a secondary dsl line for you and then charge your friends $6 a month to rent the other one off you and then both your lines will be free..
You people that even believe any of this is true crack me up.. how can you be so stupid..
not to be mean or anything but come on.. giving money to people that help rip you off.. that doesn't even make any sense even if you ignore all the other evidence..
get a clue. who allowed this to make front page/. news anyway?
Can someone please explain to me why this is bad? It sounds like its all basically for consumer protection. If you think they are going about it in the wrong manner you are free to send them your two cents.. but overall to me the concept seems like a good idea.. I never liked the way warrenties are presented anyway.. they should force them to be written in plain english and have a law that says that the average consumer must be able to read and understand the warrenty within 10 minutes or receiving it, else its too complicated.
first, its been commonplace for people to buy CDs, records, or tapes after hearing a song on the air.
and its commonplace for people to be disappointed with the cd they bought that only had one of two good songs out of 18 or so.. thats why I personally don't buy much music.. its not worth $10+ for a cd with 2 good songs no matter how good those 2 are or how good the cover art etc is..
yeh i always wondered if people had ever tried to get a new cds for old scratched or broken ones.. i have serveral cds that wont play correctly because of scatches or cracks.. one of my gfs hard to get misfits cds got caught in the latch of the glove box a while back..
yes but printing it yourself is more expensive than actually buying it at barnes and nobel on sale.. burning a cd off downloaded music basically costs the price of a blank cd (>$.50) considering you probably would pay for the internet connection and the cd burner anyway..
- i can download a copy of any of shakespeare's worrks TODAY FOR FREE
from PROJECT GUTENBURG - but i still go out to amazon to order a copy.
why? i COULD download it and print it myself on my inkjet printer,
but it would cost me more to download and print then to buy a copy
that's already nicely packaged by a bookseller. in essence - the 'data'
of the book is free, but i'm paying for more than just the content,
i'm also paying for the convenience (over printing on my own inkjet),
and the PRESENTATION.
