aluminum causes it... so all the jolt that you been drinking dont count. it balances out.
However I beleive that it is only cooking in aluminum that does it... thats why cast aluminum pots are very bad. and aluminum foil. but their not gunna tell you that are they. nope. you buy too much of the stuff as a society for it to be a concern.
thats why i never cook anything in aluminum - and try to avoid anything served in it. like microwave foods.
isnt yahoo powered by google? so basically this would mean that yahoo is filtering the results returned by google and then giving the filtered results to the censored oppressed slavelike citizens of a China which is ruled by fucked up lame ass commie bastards - chinas gov should be overthrown and all the rulers should be drawn and quartered.
I dont know about you - but wal-mart.com is the last place I think of for buying a new machine...
However to all them Iowan's and Kentuckites I guess it make sense...
I would like to see some sales figures from them to see if its a success. sounds to me as though there is one guy within walmart who is actually pretty cool and is pushing for this - and was just given a "test" run to see if selling these machines would be a good move. however sadly - they prolly will not sell very well because like me - few people will think about buying a machine from walmart.com - and in a year or so they may stop.
or I could be totally wrong and Sam will make another several billion.

- Great forum if you want to find out info - and talk with people about music - mostly hardnrg.. but the guy who runs the site, Morgan, will answer almost any question you have about the music. He has a lot of knowledge on the subject. He is an accomplished DJ, spins all over, owns/runs lotekrecords.com and makes a lot of music. so if youre interested in learning about how electronica is made, what software and hardware are used - how much it costs to make etc... this is the guy to talk to.
I think the down fall of quality in every industry comes when its pushed by marketing droids rather than user needs.
like all the previous crap we heard about push content a few years back - and how all the marketing types jumped with glee at the hype behind this and attempted to setup failed business models around it.
push content is just a bad idea (tm). Don't just agree to this bs because they have attached open source to the idea. its like wearing jeans just cuz they're diesel or CK or whatever... it doesnt make it a better product - it just makes the user forgoe real quality for branding.
the mentality or/.'ers is to like open source stuff - but open source is fast becoming a brand as much as anything else. just cuz it may be open source or free does not make it great. AOL cd's are free - but we dont like em. (I know bad comparison - so leave the comments at home)
anyway - you get the point.
what would *really* make sense is built in anti spyware OS. one that allows you to block any and all traffic to companies and sites whos URLs are not physically typed into the nav bar. also make it impossible for ANY url to pop-up ads or other browser windows. and to notify you when it find a URL that is attempting to do so - and show you a confirmation box that says "this shitty URL is trying to load this "XXXXX" url in a new browser - allow/deny once/deny all?"
Ya. you make a really good point. that mistake really proves that I am an idiot... thanks for taking the time to point that out. It really shows how much better than me you really are. thanks! I bow down to your superior form.
I highly disagree with this finding. My brain activity is greatly increased while playing games. It causes critical thinking on levels that you may not find out in the "real" world on certain occasions.
For example:
Strategy: when playing games like hitman, ghost recon, and other strategy based mission games - you really have to think about what it is your doing. Paying close attention to the environment around you and (in all the really well made games) the sounds around you. You have to think about the best way to go about a mission so as to hopefully complete it with a perfect score.
I like to play all my missions with a "one shot - one kill" mentality. I dont like to waste any more than one bullet to the head on my victims - and I like to have a 100% head-shot rating.
This type of thing can be found in certain fields; military, police etc... but joe computer nerd's only oppurtunity to experience this is usually in front of the machine. And some of us get really good about this kind of thinking...
Imagination: Many games lift your imagination and make you think of things - how you would like them - the way it could be etc... you dont get this as much with TV - when watching TV you just do that, sit and watch, and decompose. TV is not interactive no matter what marketing babble you hear... it is a totally passive activity.
Character development and forethought: When playing games where you are building a character over a period of time - MMORPG or NWN style game, you have to think about what type of character you want to become - and how to grow that character into that. That does not take "decreased brain activity".
and many other things - but its time for NWN so all my thought-cycles are being re-directed, so I'm outta here.
that guy must be some dell execs kid - he is an IDIOT.
It is precisely because of him that i will not buy a dell. he insults the intelligence of the human race... I cannot STAND that guy. Dell is a stupid stupid company for thinking that that lame ass kid is good for their image. It makes them look as bad as acer and packard bell - pandering to the lowest common denomenator.
dell, dont you think that people are smarter than that - especially people who ARE INTO COMPUTERS.
we used to run them through the dishwasher when they got too dirty - and they would work fine afterwards.
reminds me of an urban legend/ it horror story about some IT guy telling some chick that she needed to clean out her machine and she ran it through the dishwasher.
actually if they are contributing *anything* at the conference make sure you get one... heck make sure you get three or five - or as many as you possibly can...
trade show gimicky stuff isnt cheap. so get lots of it.... then throw it in the trash as you leave the conference. just make sure you say please - and thank you.

"If China wanted them to hand over blueprints to export-controlled sensitive technologies, should they just do that, too?"
No, china should just hafta ask Clinton. After all he did hand over nuclear secrets when the data was "stolen" from los alamos.
Remember when China threatened to bomb us if we interfered with their taking over taiwan? no... that cuz large media didnt report it.
Remember when there were reports of Chinese soldiers on the CA - Mexico border dressed as Mexican Army?
Remember when China had supposedly stated that they have been gearing up to go to war with the US in the next 20 years?
Remember when Clinton handed over control of the PANAMA FRICKING CANAL to the Chinese?
Take a look around you and see how much this country relies on china for our daily resources and everyday life.
No think about how many flipping people they have to throw at a war.
Who's in control? fuck china. and no Im not racist - I dont care who they are - the chinese government is totally insane and dangerous.

What if they are ads from Microsoft - or record labels? would you still support them then?
Ya these guys better make sure they stay in the good areas... otherwise they'll get mugged and that gear stolen.
Hell - I might even steal it.

Yes. and it even has a name: The ADA.

I just went and checked out the linuxcare site - and their management team. havent heard of any of those guys before - anyone know how they are doing?
tripe?
