I would wager that AMD is more concerned about its Windows using customers. Overclockers and speed-freaks have been raving about AMD all the way, and all they care about is using the most economical processor to run their games that run mainly on... Windows.
Sorry for complaining, but I really think the interface could have been made better. For one thing, I wish clicking on the map could make the highlighted section scroll as far as the mouse cursor to the left/right. OTOH, having each mile on the line marked and clickable would probably take a very long time, not to mention very memory intensive for the browser.
OK AC, I'll bite.
I do have a job. So nyeahnyeahnyeahnyeah.. (Yes this is childish, oh my god i'm so childish it pisses you off even more) and (as you mentioned about living off the state I presume you're an american), I don't live in the US of A, thank God for that, and where I come from, there is no living off the state. (If you do reply, I wonder if you're going to brag about the great social security your country has).
Yes I was freeloading, my last sentence signifies that, only that some people like you are too dumb to realise it. I did forget (yes this is a convinient excuse, "oh I forgot") to mention that I might buy a domain name in the end, which would let me contribute to the net "economy" after all.
Your computer rebooting is probably because it just had blue-screened. In its infinite wisdom MS decided to automate the resetting of the computer after the BSOD and so takes the responsibility away from its users. You can turn this "feature" off by unchecking the checkbox System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, Automatically reboot.
A few links on the left side of the page goes to pages of pictures that show the construction phase, wow what resources these geeks have. I like the banner on top too, a colourful "The chamber of fussiest people.". Can we steal that and make it the new Slashdot motto?
The problem with the smaller services is, you never know when they're going to croak up and die. Sad, I know, but I got Yahoo accounts believing it would be free forever, because, well, it's Yahoo. Guess not. Now I won't have POP3 anymore, and who knows what other moronic restrictions they're going to put. I used to have a website hosted for free on www.freeservers.com. When they started spmaming me with emails saying it's part of the deal, I made an account that I'd check once in a month if I remember. Then they terminated FTP service (like Geocities newly did), forcing me yet again to "upgrade" for FTP service. I didn't because ha I don't have a credit card and it seems to be the only form of payment they would accept, stupid them. It didn't stop there, the last straw was their hostage-taking of files that were over some kilobyte limit. If I had any files over the limit, these files would be locked, and I would have had to upgrade if I ever wanted to gain access to them again.
I just deleted my (largely unmantained) site after that.
I wonder what sort of deceivous tricks Yahoo is going to pull next to make money from whatever that would be left after all their account users abandon the ship. Fuck, they're already pretending we all want spam.
I hope I'll be able to write a small program that can parse the pages from Yahoo's webmail interface, download the emails and imitate a POP3 server for my mail client. Screw Yahoo!
It's a bloody Saturday! Shouldn't the Unix admin be outside enjoying the free time his well-behaved server rewarded him? Maybe even driving the purple Mercedes someone already mentioned here (is it a convertible?), with his hot girlfriend next to him? And don't forget, a cute Tux on her t-shirt!
It was the film, and it was the US General's computer.. it happened as the General was briefing the troops for the attack on Canada. The computer crashes, the General says "Get me Bill Gates!", Bill Gates comes, the General asks, "What's wrong with this computer?" Bill Gates starts muttering something and the General takes out a gun and shoots him.. hehe LOL funny.
The bloody language. Neither English nor German were my native languages. When I started learning German 2 years ago, I learnt
"Wer" means "Who".
"Wo" means "Where".
See the problem? Damn it was a while that I had to guess, correct myself and then end up with the wrong answer anyway. But I get it right now.
Also, "life" as in "This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time", "live", as in "The Corrs Live in Concert" and "live" as in "Live everyday as if it were your last." used to confuse me, now my writing instincts get it right but my doubting brain still has to double-check it. Hope that goes away soon.
Well it would have worked only if a gallon is less than a litre(liter). But a gallon is 4.5 liters, so the engineer had actually put more fuel than needed. Altough that would explain it being overweight and not managing to reach its destination.
Here in America, we like to say "American" instead of "USian".
I've seen it used here, and I thought it was a good way of shortening the word, did a bit of googling and came up with this entry on "USian".
Besides, like that link says, "American" doesn't always mean "Citizen of the United States".
To the point of selecting a "State", I found that the last option in that drop-down menu is a blank, but I don't know if it works, I don't like the idea of having my name recorded in some govt. database either. (So much for ranting about slashdotting the server.)
I think it's time we each think for 15 minutes and write something intelligent to say on that website, and really put the power of Slashdot to work. Comment on the bill, comment on the evil monopolies that control the entertainment industry and hurt the artists, comment on the corrupt government that is letting this sort of corporation controlled America happen. And let's leave no bit unfilled in their harddisk.
I am not USian, but can I post a comment there?
Further, I think a rally is a good idea, wouldn't even a local one attract attention? Come on, there must be someone with enough time to organise such a thing... Hmm, okay, that's too much talking out of my ass now.
I think you would have to prove that he or she was committing some crime, not faithfully trying to execute their oath of office, or in some way was blatantly being corrupted by outside influence that was working against the best interests of his or her constituents.
Well, is he working to the best interest of his constituents? He's being curropted by Disney money, that's for sure. (Although some fucked up "Common sense, what's that?" law says it's okay to take bribes)
So someone should really try to get him booted out of his office.
I actually did this, and selected "Computers" as my single Interest. It got me very little advertisement, less than monthly. Perhaps my demographics didn't fit their target market. When I started using them 4 years ago, I thought Yahoo! will never go under like any one of these other lame services, because it's a big company right?
I hate changing my email address! Well I rarely get email other than spam anyway, so it's no big loss. And this will probably be the last straw that makes me buy a domain name. I don't think Yahoo offers a way to pay other than with a credit card, although yahoo.de might have a bank-transfer option that I'd be tempted to use.
Come on, Apple bashing is no longer cool, they're a Unix now! A good GUI on top of a good-functioning OS internals make for a fine computer, and if it doesn't have the software you want, you can always compile *free* Unix software or install Linux on it. What, you don't like Linux?
By that logic, what is the X-Box if it's not a consumer box? MS didn't let anyone touch the X-Box, that's for sure, but if we're to go anal, what's the thing even doing in a business tech show?
What does being a business tech-show mean anyway, the new gadgets - like 3G phones - are surely not meant for business users only.
MS, keep doing what you do and I'm sure you'll win a lot of customers. Morons. They're thinking, if PlayStations are banned from the show, then customers will not be exposed to then, it's the same idea as preventing BeOS or Linux on OEM machines. But come the fuck on, everybody who would visit CeBit would know what a PlayStation is, and that sort of fucked up tactic is only going to backfire on your sorry arrogant asses.
Bill Gates: You want answers? Brendan Sullivan: I think I'm entitled. Bill Gates: You want answers? Brendan Sullivan: I want the truth! Bill Gates: You can't handle the truth!
Ha, 3.5 inch? I was playing with 5 (and a quarter!) inch floppy disks when you were still in diapers! I bet you don't even know they are called floppies because the 5.25" disks had a protective sheet that was actually flexible! And computers with 3.5" drives were once modern. And our computers used to have only two 5.25" drives where we had to pull a lever down to make the disks accessible.

Meknows thousands of megabytes = a couple of gigabytes, but having "thousands" makes it sound bigger. :)
Quick, which would you rather have, five hundred thousand or half a million dollars?
a beowulf cluster of that!
(Anybody else missed the good old fashioned beowulf cluster non-meta joke)
They're *thousands* of megabytes big, but if you got the bandwith, HD space and patience, try Direct Connect, one sweet file sharing system.
Hey, I'm no dork!

Maybe she got permission to obtain their copyrighted material from Disney/the MPAA?
