Better Speed, More reliability, sure it might not have that obscure release of some indie band, but what it doesnt have you can request and usually it will be posted within a week. Oh yeah I dont think they have anyone tracking usenet, YET.
I get 1.5k/sec from my Usenet account, I can connect as many as 6 times to the servers, so I can download alot of music, and go about my day, not hoping that some luser will logoff before I get that damn 96bitVBR pixies song, that I have had queued for 2 days.
I said it to my girlfriend and she didn't get it, Maybe you people around here will understand.
I LOVE my CAREER, I HATE my JOB
by that I mean I love doing what I have chosen to do for my life, I just hate working at the current place of employment. That has all changed now that I was laid off, spent 10 months goofing off, traveling, testing the waters elsewhere(photography), and I am now back with a better place and love both my career and my job
Next time you goto the grocery store and put your food in the cart(specifically the top part) think back to the last person who used it, when they placed thier toddler in that upper seat, Dirty diaper and all.
I read somewhere that the "seats" and handles of shopping carts had so much fecal matter that it astounded the researchers that were doing the study. I wish I could find it.
I stopped using the carts there for a long time, now I wipe down the handles with a rag and purell before I shop then I put any produce or anything like that in a plastic bag before placing it in the cart, when I get home I do a vigorous washing of all potentially exposed items before I put them away so I don't forget about my outing.
Jesus people, Is it so damn hard to read the TITLE of the article now?
He's not looking for Mac software, He's not looking for Windows software, He's not looking for Sun, Be, DOS, or any damn other OS other than LINUX!
If you dont have anything to contribute to the ASK SLASHDOT that someone is looking for information on, wait until something comes up posted toward your particular OS then comment on it.
Its like watching a damn "Artistic Porn" movie... I don't want to have any dialog that I have to fast forward through... just give me what I came here for.
wow, that was a rant and a half... and I'm not really that into Linux(not by choice, but by newbieship)
It's much easier to get away with wild expenditures when your girlfriend doesn't know the true cost of that rack full of servers in the basement, or that the Gig Switch that you DIDNT REALLY need but HAD to have, cost a small fortune.
I like the leeway of spending what I want when I want...
Although you are right about the hotter comment(even though my G/F is pretty damn cute) There is just something about a girl thats into geeky things.
I am 31 years old, and I beleive I don't say it enough "I apprecieate my parents"
Dad's a Programmer, Mom's an Admin.
It's where I learned it all the first place, I guess it helps having technically savvy parents.
GIRLFRIENDS on the other hand... I just dont let her on the net except to check email, and then I have vigorous virus checks, She knows "under penalty of loosing the laptop" that she is not to open any attachments, She doesnt have any need to get any from the people that work for her(email is only to send information TO them). But I still get the Weekly, "how do I send this email again?" she is about as technically UNsavvy as I am on the other end of the scale.
Rent the first one from netflix, then wait for 6 months after the extended trilogy comes out, if by then they havent released a trilogy set, then buy it.
If 1 month after that they release the trilogy set, then be content in knowing that the universe revolves around you.
What is the point of blogs though? I thought they were to convey some sense of individuality on the old interweb. Instead, in everyone's rush to be some kind of blog king, blogs are forcing people think and express themselves in the same way. Stealing someone's ideas means you can't or don't come up with your own.
Giving into the "nothing new under the sun" just means that if there is, it won't be from you.
Along with your e-mail you should have suggested various other names for the console...
Apparition, Ghost, Poltergeist.
All things that are barely seen, and when further investigated, widely believed to not really exist, although some believe whole heartedly that they do exist and will go to the ends of the earth to prove it. However most of the rest of us, know better and dismiss these people as crack pots.
Disclaimer: I believe in Ghosts, Apparitions, Poltergeists, and Phantoms. BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT INFINIUM LABS WILL EVER PRODUCE A CONSOLE WITHIN MY LIFETIME...
PLEASE, OH PLEASE, Send me a C&D letter Infinium, I've got more laywers in my immediate family than you could ever possibly have on retainer, and some are even retired judges. I'm Begging you PLEASE!
I am looking to be the first to file class action lawsuit for sheer stupidity, you might just qualify, lets talk. I'll have my people contact your people.
Now I don't know law, I'm not a lawyer(obviously) but since they have been found GUILTY of price fixing, and by admission have sent out checks to people, and the prices of CD's STILL haven't fallen down.
Can we bring some sort of lawsuit against them?
Is the sending of the checks some sort of "get away with it forever now that we have paid some people money for our indescretion" card?
I have yet to see a Pepsi/Apple iTMS bottle yet in the store, I was thinking that they are delaying the distribution of the bottles to further cut down on the # of submissions.
I had a friend that worked at a gas station, and whenever there was a promotion, he would look as he stocked and put all the winners aside, whenever we came in he would just point to where they were and we would turn in the free coke/pepsi cap to him and keep the drink. I always thought that something like this was the reason they went to the promotions like basketball where you get a team, and it worked out somehow that way, Why is it always Basketball Crap? I hate sports, gimme something I can use, not something to make me watch a game and see if I might win if I STILL have the cap laying around.

How does one become a Neilson family if you can't stand(and I'm assuming don't watch) any of the network television?
and BTW NBC isn't the All Law and Order all the time station that is TNT's Motto. I got so sick of hearing that DUN DAH sound that they have on L&O that I removed TNT from my channel lineup.
Why is it so hard for people to understand the way pricing goes for Computers, when it goes theexact same way for clothing... something you bought last week is now out of style and on sale, and the new instyle piece is full pop, of course, that shirt you bought 5 years ago might still be wearable, depending on how you took care of it, your computer however is relegated to either your grandma for email, or you are using it for a firewall.
Actually now that I think of it, the shirt just like the computer will get relegated to other duties as it gets older also.
think about it, If they have your CC on file attached to your VIP Card, then all you have to do is select the merchandise you want and walk away with it, you will automagically be charged and I wont have to deal with any stupid sales people.

Hmmmm If
"Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny"
then how much did one penny farthing cost?

Who are these Clooney, Pitt, Etc?
I thought the usual suspects were
Verbal Kint, Dean Keaton, Michael McManus, Etc.
Don't tell me Det. Kujan Traced Keyser Soze to Vegas!

LOL I guess it depends on who I'm chatting with online...
No wonder Michael called me last time I chatted with him online
Mine is (XXX) 462-4335
It's true too... I let everyone know how proud I am to be one.
I find it funny that you complain about the $770 track suit, but dont mention the $170 Sleeveless T-Shirt!

There is no step 4 in this... the incriminating paparazi photos are enough to garner a nice profit.
think about it, If they have your CC on file attached to your VIP Card, then all you have to do is select the merchandise you want and walk away with it, you will automagically be charged and I wont have to deal with any stupid sales people.
