Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Mr Burns finds out he has every disease known to man and so they all cancel each other out. I had to bring that one up.:)
That's what I was thinking also. It's Roxio that's going to bite it. Thing is though, doesn't WinXP use Roxio embedded in there somewhere for their local burning solution or whatever. What issues would that bring up? MS would probably just buy their way out of it anyways. This patent crap is so lame.
Probably remnants of the USSR missile interception program. Lucky Canada agreed to take the fallout of nuclear weapons if they were intercepted coming over the North Pole. I would image it's just old facilities, and they don't mind people knowing they are there. Talk about Cold War:P
Yes....yes you are. If you fail to comply, you will be stuck with free software that works well and programs that are freely available and freedom of choice...umm...what was I saying?
Maybe it is being done or has already been done. The only info we get comes from some government entity or other. I don't have the tinfoil hat on, but who knows what's up there...honestly.
India wouldn't take you anyways. They're smart and won't let Americans work for them because they like to have an economy not based on sports teams and hollywood and monopolies. Sorry if this sounds like a rant but it's true. I would like to move back to Canada but I have hope this country will get back together. Sad really.
I find it hard to get excited about these games. It just seems like they keep trying and trying. They are timesinks and alot of the gaming generation is getting older. I wish I had time to play all these great games out there, but I gotta eat. Also, all the people on those things are just irritating, i play games to get away from it all. I went through highschool once already:)
That was damn funny, i just had to express that. Got a mental image and it was so nasty but i can imagine that gaping nastiness sounding like a foghorn. Too funny.
"under the guise of "helping" people by providing their personal information to any web page that asks for it" In essence, it is SPYING!!! Don't the lawyers have enough money, can't they just leave it alone? If someone spies on you...it is spyware, sorry but that's just how the english language works. Maybe we should sue the UK for starting that damn language!

That's what i was thinking also. That FAT can only format up to 32GB. It's not the OS, it's the FS. NTFS can do up to like a petabyte or 7 PB or something. I'm not all for Winderz but that argument didn't seem logical.
Why would they release a story on something that isn't even in prototype? Seems silly to me. I have plans for a 200GHZ chip, but I still have to make a prototype, film at 11! It would be interesting though.
Personally I thought it was pretty damn funny. Insulting to their race but it wasn't the Chinese that made up the fire drill thing, it was the americans. Seems people were always afraid of the chinese. Chinese finger trap? Think a british salesman made that one up. Chinese = queer or strange. I just pictured the taikonauts doing a fire drill, freaking hilarious.
If they are tracking people by their IPs. What about DSL and leased IPs? What if your lease goes to someone else and they go after that person? Am I looking at that wrong or do they find a way around that? Like a date and time or something... I dunno it all seems so dumb to me.
Yes the UK uses metric, as does every other advanced nation. It's funny that the USA fought for their independance from the british, yet still cling to the system of measurment even they found was outdated!
OTOH...Roseanne is just nasty, and no I think that would be fatal
I agree 100%. Kids will do anything they want. Rebellion is part of being a teen. If your parents raise you correctly and trust you have enough common sense not to kill yourself or someone else, then it shouldn't matter. My daughter will be smart enough to know what's bad and what is good, and when she tells me she hates me and to go to hell(as we all did to one of our parental units), I know she isn't going to do something stupid because she knows better.
I agree. I did not need Ritalin and yet took it anyways. It is a strong drug, and if it is prescribed wrong, can have detrimental effects. It acted like speed when I took it, serious speed. If a child has mental problems as it is, you don't want to jack them up. There are many problems that need to be addressed, and videogames are not one of them.

Still too pricy for me though...compared to the 0$ I'm sure I can get it for. Don't know why i'd want it but....

Uh oh, you said the E word! Better watch out, we all know the urchin was created by the almighty god!
yay.
I'd have to agree with you on that one. It's not-easy to do apparently.
DOH!

I gotta ask... How long have you been waiting to use that joke? :)
I don't know why you'd want an antonym...I'd try a synonym instead.
Nothing like the ignorant leading the blind.
You'd think that guy was a lawyer for the RIAA. "Guilty!" But why, I didn't do anything, i'm only 14.... "to jail with your sorry self!@"
It's obvious the person just wanted to share that article, hence the AC post.
Silly...viruses and lawyers are the same thing...Ameobas do come next though.

I was waiting for someone to mention good ol SEA. I miss that program. It was great for viewing every kind of format.

Nice to see this virus is spreading throughout the world. Want the big bucks, become a lawyer and sell your soul.
I know this is a troll but oh well...
