Some of the software I *have* to run for work will not run at *all* on WinXP. Not to mention XP is a resource hog (even after turning all the bells & whistles off) compared to Windows 2000.
At the same time, blowing up a nightclub & killing 200 +/- western tourists will get you only 2 years in prison. Yeah, that's what one of those guys got. 2 years.
I love watching the newer, never been trained to use a keyboard, AutoCAD drafters struggle to keep up with me. These guys swear that they are fast when we hire em out of ITT or what have you, but when you get em to production it's an entirely different story.
I've got quite a few nude pics of different girls I've dated & would never distribute them on the net or show them to my friends. Even after huge, horrible break-ups I've not given into that temptation. It's all about respect.
I've used a handgun to stop the commission of a violent crime. A friend of mine has prevented a robbery with his legal concealed pistol. The police are no longer here to protect & serve, they are only around to detect & arrest after the fact. After the crime. There is no way the police can protect me or you or anyone else from all the scum out there. If you can't understand this then you aren't living in the same reality as the rest of us. Frankly my state government has taken some very proactive steps recently to make sure that the citizens of Florida are able to protect themselves if the need arises.
Don't forget the almost nil modifications or user made expansions. Much fun! I had my step-brothers Xbox & PS2 sitting in my room collecting dust for a year & a half. Never even turned them on except to watch him play Halo 2 when I got it for him for X-Mas. I'm just not interested in 90% of console games & the ones I am interested in usually have a PC port anyhow. I mean how could you play something like Galactic Civilizations, Alien Crossfire or Neverwinter Nights on a console? Of course the fact that all games look better on my PC compared to a console doesn't help either.
Give up dude, you can't argue with this kind of "Guns are bad Mmkay" head in the sand thinking. These are people who's only experience with firearms are thru the idiot-box, & are perfectly comfortable with their government making them into good little citizens who have no means of protecting themselves from anything.
I've heard that Enron employees had no choice where a significant part of their 401K contributions came from. I.E. whatever the company matched had to be Enron stock, or something like that.

WTF is your problem? XP does less with the same hardware compared to 2k.
These are 2Ghz + drafting stations w/ @ least 512MB RAM. The difference is very noticible.

I made no ill informed comment. The cleric that planned & conspired to blow up that Bali nightclub got 30 months.1 429404,00.html

That was kinda dumb if actually wanted them to put something on the screen. Unless they had to use the old x,y,z coord input. I'd rather eat glass.
Again, the guy who plotted the attack got 30 months.

Can your tongue hit the old G-Spot? Unless you're Gene Simmons, the answer is no. As for the genitals, well that's a case by case basis I'd guess...

Well, I'll be the first to admit that's probably not going to happen....

Nice strawman.

Until Monsanto drags you ass into court for violating their IP.

Fuck it. Let em do it. I hope it becomes law. Let the chaos & finger-pointing ensue.
Yes I'm serious.

Same in Florida..

It's been done for Windows Preinstalled Environment (same limit oddly enough) so it's probably not a problem for Windows Timmy! edition.

Have you tried one of the new Emachine laptops? They are pretty damn nice for a sub $1000 notebook.

If these morons wouldn't blindly accept patents, this shit wouldn't happen.
The God of Duty? Don't you mean Tempus or Tyr?
