Traveling is why I got my laptop, cost 45 bucks on ebay, runs circles around any netbook or tablet, having a third wheel "for everything else" does not make since to me, why for everything else? do you really have to be jacked in 24-7? when I am at home I use my desktop, when I am out and want a computer along with me I take my laptop, where is this other magical place? do I really need to be browsing slashdot while watching the TV or taking a dump?
netbooks are still around, still selling, problem with them is I am not going to pay 200+ dollars for something that has not changed from 4 years ago, these are 60$ computers
same with tablets, sell me a 60$ netbook for 500$ and make me buy an extra keyboard?
eventhough its one of the cheapest crap routers out there I am just going to take a wild guess and say there is more important things we could be pissing our money away on. Besides the FCC is so stupid they couldn't even compile a fkin map do we want their spyware loaded routers broadcasting god knows what to who knows where eating at out caps
should have just let her choose in the first place instead of forcing the 2k8 used model she doesnt like onto her while dancing skippy with a brand new computer that the op didnt even need
what AT&T of old being gone? sorry but I disagree back in 1996 we had worldnet dialup and they pulled this exact same shit. One day I came home to a mad dad who thought I had downloaded the internet cause he got a 300 dialup bill for going over his limit
but dad you signed up for unlimited Internet, have you changed plans? well of course not they just up and decided to start capping bandwidth and showed us what we had used in a month with their metering technology (excel bar graph) which got them another prompt call of "how the fuck do you download 1.8gig on a 28.8 modem with a 4 hour disconnect in under a month genius?"
I just got done telling my wife that I was not totally against it, from a private user stance, from the stance of our corporate / government overloads mismanaging it, well thats why
lets say your living life just fine and some "group" pops up and outright pressures your local branch ISP to block all *.nrd sites, you might be a little miffed
I am not 100% sure how having a bigger particle accelerator peen is that much better
here is how I imagine it went down
Scientist: It would be much quicker and cheaper if we had our own instead of running to Switzerland's every time Our Government: Well son, this is Amurica we just cant do the same thing those fish have, it needs to be BIGGER BETTER and MORE EXPENSIVE to prove to the entire universe we are the best GD particle smashers GOD ever created. We will make it so big it will hardly fit in Texas! Let me call my boys and see what kind of contractors they have willing to rape, um I mean TACKLE! this sort of job. We all applaud your patriotism
well I do not think Webster is GOD of language anyway, and looking up the term plasic foil will yeild a billion results on the topic (besides is it not acting as a substrate for a form of crystal or gem? in this application)
your argument can be put into the silly light by replacing foil with computer and in reverse, noun and only definition is for a machine, though for hundreds of years computer was a position in accounting, websters does not list that, so that MUST mean its complete horseshit right?
maybe the book is wrong, just sayin
also for a little personal experience, the first time I heard foil to describe thin plastic is from one of my friends darn near 90 year old English grandmother, so that term has been around since probably the invention of the stuff
The definition for “foil” derives from the Latin word “folium”, which means folio. The beginnings of foils go back to the 16th century, whereas it should be mentioned that at that time a little metallic glossy sheet (of gold leaf) was named by the term foil. This served as the base for enclosed gemstones. Meanwhile the term foil has been extended a lot and describes various products like for example metallic foils, plastic foils, cling film, plastic bags or transparencies. The latter are used as carrier material for overhead projectors.
yea and less than a year later I got a 9600GT which is damn near the same card for 79 bucks, latest and greatest is pointless unless you like burning money
yea I get a little ticked off when my non geek friends expect me to help when their macbooks melt down and all of a sudden I am the only one within a 1 hour radius that even knows the stupid thing has a command line
I for one do not even try to explain to average people what open source software is, I cant get one sentence in before someone starts cracking jokes
Drizzle LAME GIMP GNOME etc... really? you want this to be the year of the * desktop? fine make it so I dont have to spend time explaining what lame drizzle is and how it is different from a gimp gnome!
im sorry, I did not realize I was on the association of anal retentive english majors page, its just a forum post don't go killing yourself over it
ok so here is why, even though my post was atrocious by professor tightass standards, you still understood it, when one quotes the entire parent for zero reason it makes it harder to filter garbage from comment, cause you see, all the comments are squashed down so only the first line is shown.
but hey if you want all your comments to look like someone is a retarded parrot then whatever, its just a pet peeve, please dont piss your pants
if they have nothing else to give me other than a card then why would I want to contact them? to be BFF?
the only cards that I keep are usually stapled to a piece of paper containing some new exciting product, or a quote, the rest get thrown at my co-workers as entertainment

To me it just sounds just like the good ole days
believe it or not there were other devices that could capture video other than a multi thousand dollar semi pro media setup
