There is being spent a lot of money on porn and more of those money are moving to the internet because the internet is a good media for it. If this gets through, you should try to pay attention where that tax money goes afterwards. I will bet on that those tax money will not get marked but just go into the pool. Where I live, I have seen a lot of "enviromental" taxes which were introduced with the promise that those money would be used for enviromental good. Of course that never happened.
if you are 3-4 people who wants to play on the same squad. After about 30 min, you might have been able to get everyone on the server. And then there's 3-4 ppl making their own squads with no one but themself on.
I had my memory overheat for the first time while playing this game. I have a Windows installation with the latest drivers and BF2 and HL2 as the only games installed on it. I got freezes and some random reboots after a while. It seems that my 4 512mb Geil memory modules, got too hot inside their metal casing. I am not overclocking anything. I placed a small fan above the memory modules to see if that helped and it haven't frozen since. But it seems strange to me that i need special cooling for my memory. And I need to find a more permanent solution than the extra fan.
I ran 1600x1200 on a 21" too, and now on 22" (marketing). The graphics are not slow. But I do not use Suse. So be calm, it's just a problem with Suse. Hmm interesting, I think I will give it another try.:D
I can tell you it is... Actually, it depends on your hardware, and mostly your graphic card. Before getting my bi-pro system, I was at same resolution, with ATI Rage Pro card, with 3 desktops running simultaneously in 256 Mo RAM. It was starting to become slow with each new version of KDE/Gnome. Then I upgraded to my actual machine, with 512 Mo RAM and bi-AMD 1800+ with NVidia T200. It was never slow then. Nowadays, I use the same board, with 1 Go RAM and bi-AMD 2200+, still with 3 (soon 4) desktops running simultaneously, and it is not slow. I added the RAM for hungry apps, but it's not even needed anymore. Anyway, the 3 desktops are fully loaded, and Windows XP apps and OS look like shit when compared to these desktops. The Windows behaviour is very bad too.
Sounds interesting. As i have mentioned to another poster, I am just using the onboard graphics chip (something Intel I think). I have been thinking about upgrading to a proper graphics card but I was unsure if it was worth in on Linux. But I think I will give it a go and see what happens. They are not that expensive when not going for the latest fancy cards. This is really strange, ask for assistance on Suse forums if you have no support. I think we do have a support contract actually. But I think I will put in a proper card anyway, now I just need to find the right one. I really want to get Linux back on my desktop:D Thanks.
Can't remember right now, I think its a Intel thing. Don't know why I didn't think of searching for optimizations.:) Think I will do that. I have been thinking about buying a card and disable the onboard one.
On normal office desktop machines, the graphics are just too slow, at least the one I have. I have run SuSE 9.1/9.2, since it became available, at the office and it is perfect except for the graphics. I run 1600x1200 on my 21" screen and the graphics are just too slow. We run all our MS apps via Citrix so I have all the programs I need. Although the Citrix graphics performance are horrible under Linux, I could live with that(and the flaky cut'n'paste between MS apps and Linux, that only works sometimes), if just the graphics speed were OK with Linux apps.
After 2 years on Linux, it was refreshing/less stressful to boot up on Windows again(note that I do not run our windows network:D). It was like I got a much faster PC. And that bothers me because now I got used to Linux on the desktop, and I would REALLY like to run it, but the graphics just annoys me so much. It is just too slow that makes me think sometimes that I work on a 500MHz machine and not 2.6 GHz.
For example: "New heights achieved with SAP R/3 high-end computing: 23,000 SD benchmark users; LINUX entering business critical computer environments" An old press release. Fujitsu Siemens have been offering large SAP installation running on Linux, lately SuSE I bellive.
Microsoft have tied all their systems nicely together. I don't know much about Microsoft products but once or twice every year I see problems that brings down every Microsoft based problems.
Whenever we need different MS systems to talk to each other, they pretty much needs to be on the same network or at least have so many open network ports between them that firewalling them in different security zones becomes useless.
I'd prefer different systems with clearly defined boundries, communicating trough standard protocols instead. Moving everything to a big consolidated MS monster, might have helped bring down some of the expenses of having different systems. But I have yet to see it bring better stability.
I see some signs of people not any longer want everything to be tied in to a MS system after have had problems with one vendor to rule them all.
but sadly the management in a lot of places does not understand why they don't get the stability they had on the mainframe after moving it all to MS.

If my only option was to buy a DVD with this "feature" I'd rather be without the DVD. The annoying parts that you can't skip, are already bothering me. So would the entire family have to be added to the DVD? And when you have some friends over to watch a movie, it has to be me who inserts it in the player, not a big thing but put all the things together and it is enough for me to not wanting it. I don't need any more stuff that requires password and other kinds of security. I am not a big DVD buyer anyway, so I guess I would be happier with the dollar.
hmmm, I don't think it would help. An old trick to get a cheap drivers license were if you had been living in the US for a short time (work or exchange student) to take your US license with you home and convert it for a small fee. That ment you today would be able to save 3000$ for the 20 hours of classes and another 20 hours of mandatory driving lessons + 2 hours on the test track(learning to drive and stop on slippery roads) + all the books, cd-roms, DVDs etc.
I don't know what it takes to get a drivers license in the US today, but the reasoning for not accepting US drivers licenses was not as much the paper in itself but the lack of schooling the drivers had recieved.
Blogs are so overrated. Except from those who are in the the middle of a war, in the process of doing something really interesting or working on a project you have interest in. But for 99% of them I'd would say that they are a waste of time.
Now that you can get a car with built in handsfree set that connects via bluetooth to your phone, it would be cool if the car radio could read the mp3 files on the phone's harddrive. That way you wouldn't have to remove the hd from a mp3 radio you otherwise could have (or not install in your new car), "transferring" song to the car would be easier and you would have the same index as on you phone making navigating/remembering the content easier.
Can't remember the transfer rate of bluetooth though but since the car is a small area, the signal strength should be ok.

Yeah, they should start bombing NOW!
Should be interesting to se the warning mail you get at that time.

I was looking at one of those, it seems you can even get them with passive cooling.

and guess if there will be another movie.
What do you think?
I mean, I saw the bootleg and the camcorder work was a masterpiece!
If my only option was to buy a DVD with this "feature" I'd rather be without the DVD.

It's funny how they can get away with everything, even a double-moral.
hmmm, I don't think it would help.

May I suggest using Google for it and you might come up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Chef :)

If not, then just go for deep fried.
Another King Kong movie.
We need it as much as another Police Academy movie.
