I rank voipbuster.com as the best app of 2005 because since that I have made the switch to ditch my long distance carrier for voipbuster, I have only paid a total sum of $1.28 USD for my long distance calls here in the United States as well as my long distance calls overseas to a select few countries, which includes Taiwan.:-) Nothing like free long distance as long as I have internet connectivity. Now where is the nearest open wifi access point at...lol.
I live in the United States yet my VOIP service is through an European company. I wonder how the FCC can regulate VOIP providers that are in another country. It's kind of like me using British Telecom for my local telephone calls to call my friends down the street.
Baidu is awesome especially if you want to find asian content:-) I have been using it for years. It also helps if you can read in another language.......hehehe
Yes, hitting after the whistle blows equates to a penalty, and sometimes, a fine. But these players are making millions. A 15k to 20 k fine for a late hit, really is not a big deal, even though no one really wants to admit it. I mean, after all, it was "just" an accident.
So what a game has sexual content in it? The player is already able to kill cops. So it's ok for the player to kill a law enforcement officer in the game, but just fucking the crap out of a would-be prostitute is right down demeaning? What I have seen, I think the sex act is actually between two consenting adults. In all 50 states, the last time I heard such an act was still legal between consenting heterosexuals.
AMD is complaining that Intel deliberately complain that Intel's compiler favors Intel's chips for code optimization. Well, the last time that I checked, Intel spend the money to make the compiler so they have every reason to optimize for Intel's chips.
A good example would be two neighbors in a suburban neighborhood. The two houses' front lawns have no true dividing lines. But clearly it is two yards. One owner isn't obligated to water the other person's yard. He paid for the water and he has the right to favor his lawn as much as he want and setup his lawn sprinklers to favor his side of the yard and not his neighbors.
If his neighbor wants to keep his lawn green, he better spend the money to water his lawn and not cry fowl when his neighbor's water sometimes touch es his yard.
If AMD wants to optimize their code execution, then they are more than welcome to release a comparable compiler that is optimized on AMD, but runs a bit slow on Intel. Remember, Intel isn't compiling code that doesn't run on AMD, they just only play favorites on their own chips.
I loved those Sierra On-Line games... ahh.. the many days and nights I wasted on King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest, Hero's Quest, and Space Quest.
What joy:-)
I think the most widely used command across all these was "look around.":-)
Bombing of the USS Cole: 17 deaths. World trade center: 2,726 deaths. Iraq conflict: 1932 deaths. Downloading appz, gamez, mp3s, and movies: 0 deaths.
There are some things terror can't buy. For everything else, there's the Terror Card.
If only the terrorists start trading appz, gamez, mp3s, and movies, maybe then will the FBI be able to find them. Apparently they can only effectively hunt people down in Cyberspace... *sigh*
I guess when we say "there goes the neighborhood" it really means there goes the neighborhood because it's going to be gone... truly a sad day. And for what? Hotels? Office Space? How is that for public use? Those people they uprooted can't necessarily afford to use the office space or the hotel unless they have a means pay for the nightly stays or the monthly lease. If it was deemed for a public park, then that I can understand. Commercial interests? I think not. That's some crazy BS.

Good thing I still have my trust 2GB native Wang DAT. Man.... so old and yet so reliable.
I wonder if MS really screwed up or if they did this for a reason ...
Time to horde all that overstock of ATI's All-in-Wonder cards. Analong-to-digital, here I come!
If someone has the pap admin password for Linksys's PAP2, I am sure a lot of folks in the VOIP scene would greatly appreciate sharing of wealth :-)
I write articles such as the one mentioned above. I get payed to think and work on things that are eventually free.
Man, what a job.
yeah, I don't know why they really like that word "synergy." If there was so much "synergy" in the world, how come we are still fighting?
Slightly off topic, but the new Windows TCP stack will be implementing their new Compound TCP stack, aka, CTCP. More information can be read here:

It's going to be interesting.
When you are six feet under. That would be a really neat trick. Sorry. I just had to say that.
Is this the beginning of the Death Gliders from Stargate?
