Heh, you could at least have the decency to post as non-AC. I'm not disagreeing about the mail issue (though it doesn't affect me), but the rest... nice troll, man. Almost got me to use my mod points.
For f**k's sake, why can't every religious nut-job out there just go away? Just let people live their bloody lives the way the want to! How does 2 men in a relationship, and, oh no, bumming each other, hurt you? Get over yourselves, please, and go back to your own lives. I don't buy this "hate the sin not the sinner" crap, just stop the self-righteousness already. Surely your stupid god has something in mind for those who, in your blind eyes, "sin?"
I see a lot of people like our mate Stormwatch in daily life... generally upper-middle to upper class, nice-n-rich, and generally lacking any concern for the less well to do in their society as long as they stay comfortable. Don't worry, it's not just a Brazilian thing; Americans, Nigerians, Indians, South Africans and most other people have a percentage that are right wing nut jobs.
I'm grossly overgeneralising, but since Stormwatch here seems like a first-class twat, I'll bundle him/her in with all the others I despise. Have a nice day!
iRecordMusic is somthing very similar for the Mac, and it integrates well with iTunes.. I don't work for theese folks, but I did buy the software, and it 'Does What It Says On The Tin," so to speak.
I have no mod points left but PLEASE mod this up. Minutiaeman, thanks for (sorta) restoring my faith in Americans. He makes a valid point, clear and lucid on top of that.
I agree that GB should abandon N Ireland (especially in light of statements by that c*nt Paisley today, so much for being a man of God, asshat) but I do get well fucked off with Americans expressing an opinion about NI. Come back when you've apologized for supporting the IRA's attacks on civilians. (Yes yes I know the UDF etc also attacked civilians, I hate them too.)
Still, that doesn't mean the govt can lock someone up for any amount of time for writing about PKK/Kadek. This will seriously damage Ankara's case for EU membership, unfortunately.
Don't forget the fact the Yanks give God knows how many billions of Dollars to a regime that's in violation of over 100 UN Resultions and has killed over 3000 innocent civilans since 2000... oh the fucking irony.
Another way for you bloody Yanks to kill people. Mod points and karma be damned.. surely there's a better way to spend your money. If you put half as much energy and cash into education maybe you wouldn't be the dumbfucks you are today.
After using Macs since 96 and Linux since sometime after then, and running our work's network with OS X and various bits of Linux, I've just now bought a Windows laptop. Compared to the other platforms (with which I am more familiar), a few things on XP Pro irk me:
1. Like YankeeinExile said, networking is a pain. WHile the support for 802.11g cards is better than Linux, it lags far behind OS X. Mind you, it _is_ probably a familiarity issue; I'm used to using command line network tools that don't exist or are named differently in WinXP.
2. I don't yet know where to look for system logs etc. From today the machine takes a long time after the GUI appears to give me control; I can't figure out where to look for an answer yet. Nonetheless, things like basic troubleshooting seem more convoluted and full of black magic.
3. This point is trivial and petty, but when I google for a bit of Linux or (usually) MacOS software, the first few results are usually OSS and free-as-in-beer. Every bit of XP software I google for costs money.
I am getting used to it tho, but (and I know I'll get flamed for this) it ain't a Mac.

Damn I wish I had mod points.... you are spot on. Karma be damned.

Please do. I'd say the same but as a non-American I'd be grilled alive for suggesting it. UK isn't a lot better tho...
Why post as AC?
Someone please mod crypnotic down...
I've seen this a few times, twice in the past few months at the Nationwide in Langley, Berks.. it was Windows NT IIRC.
Dude, Sneakers _just finished_ on ITV here in the UK! Weird.....

Damn.. I was also hoping it was gone... poetic justice in its best form!

Off topic, but I didn't think there was any way to get a DVB-S card to decode Sky Digital.. am I wrong?
And while I'm off topic, why does Sky want to charge me £259 for a Sky+ box when its only £99 for new customers???
Still, that doesn't mean the govt can lock someone up for any amount of time for writing about PKK/Kadek. This will seriously damage Ankara's case for EU membership, unfortunately.
Good point, I forgot about that. Damn, there's really no way out now!
Called for the assassination of Bush? Damn, I ought to start buying the Guardian!
Just to second the parent's request, is there a mirror??? I'll mirror it as soon as I get it.
The world as a fucking idiot must be pretty easy, huh?

Canadians are also better educated than Yanks. Go figure.
The anti-Jewish hatred perpetrated by Jews you mean?
Another way for you bloody Yanks to kill people. Mod points and karma be damned.. surely there's a better way to spend your money. If you put half as much energy and cash into education maybe you wouldn't be the dumbfucks you are today.
or deposing some dictator such as
Bush, maybe?
At the risk of being redundant, here's my E0.016.
