While you silly Americans are arguing over Janet's boob, Canadians enjoy uncensored television. The only programs that are censored are the ones on US Stations or "pre-bleeped" from the US.
Canada enjoys such wonderful shows as, Trailer Park Boys, KinK, and uncensored Sopranos and Osbournes on broadcast TV.
Silly Americans, when will people stop believing the government is their mom? Put the power in the hands of parents to keep an eye on what their kids are watching. These are the same nutjobs that will ruin the internet for the rest of us.:/
I used to be quite addicted to Quake and subsequently Quake 2 and Quake 3. It was great fun, everyone played it. When you'd go to a lan party, there was no pre-requisite questionaire about what games you had and wanted to play. It was understood that the game would be Quake. Once the market filled up with other FPS titles friends didn't play the same stuff anymore. Everything just got unnecessarily difficult for some reason.
Then there came the cheats. Through Quake there were cheats but it reached its peak in Quake 2 and extended into Counter Strike and other FPS titles. Left a sour taste in everyone's mouth.
With the announcement of nVidia's SLI and Doom 3 on the way, it really feels like 1998 all over again and I'm anxious to get back into FPS gaming for some reason. Funny how every major id title does that to a lot of people.
Well it sounds like it was only preannounced because they screwed up and were running out of supply on current iMacs. The alternative to not saying anything about your new product line is not very desirable, "we are no longer selling iMacs".
Good Luck with that BT. There are tons of people out there with old rotary phones still, utilizing pulse dialing. They're not going to get some old lady to change her pots phone for some fancy IP phone.
America is becoming less & less "American" all the time.
The government is -not- your mom. They shouldn't be required to take these kinds of measures because some soccer mom saw her child get re-directed to some hot fisting action.
If there's any 'america' left in Americas geeks, some smart kid will capitalize on soccer mom paranoia; by writing an app which catalogs all these re-directs and makes sure that the user never sees the end result of that offensive URL. Then sell it for mucho coin. Yay for Free Enterprise and not Socialism!
Although they forgot some errors that would be equally amusing
402 "Payment Required" 405 "Method not Allowed" 411 "Length Required" 500 "Internal Server Error" (you know, for that time of the month) 503 "Service Unavailable"
If you've read this far I'm sure you can tell I'll be on my own for Valentine's Day. Fuck.
Until Safari has Tabbed browsing (yes I realize it's in unreleased betas) it won't be used on my Mac.
One of the great appeals of Camino is that its got tabbed browsing, it's relatively fast (compared to Mozilla or IE) and is tweakable in much the same way that Mozilla is.
I could stand to see Camino disappear in favor of Phoenix but not in favor of Mozilla or Safari. At least not in their current forms.
Considering how much time I spent playing games in my youth and how much school I skipped as a result, I'd probably tell my 12 year old self this...
"You're going to lose the Quake match that you skipped your High School graduation dance to play in, and you're going to feel like a big dork for doing so. Go to the dance dumbass."
All of what you've said about markoff's libelous reporting is fine & dandy... But, do you have any way to prove it?
If you do, coroborating witnesses, documents, your location as to when these events were supposed to occur, go sue him for those millions of dollars he made from his fiction fantasy novels about your life!

Why doesn't it surprise me that videotron is willing to roll over? Videotron is a Quebec based company.
Typical French, "We surrender!"

If Seven of Nine is too complicated of an outfit, just plain naked works well too.
PS- If he shouts, "That's a lot of polygons" ignore it. S'all good.
You'd think as well as linking to cnet & sun that there'd be at least a link to the article referenced in the sentence about the rover using java.
..."almost no radiation"...
Call me back when there is none.
Windows likes to call home whenever it can. I'm sure it reports back to the mothership far more often than anyone would like to think about.
*synches the strap on his tin foil hat a bit tighter*
Maybe now when they call for sun it won't rain instead?
Tin Foil hat a little too tight sonny?
That depends on how much value you place on increasing the length of your E-Penis.

Everybody knows all programmers and hackers have girlfriends like this and this.

It's all about "Techno" and "Invisibility" man.
Correction.. spam will never stop... ever.
You say that it will stop if it's fully against the law and people bring legal action to stop it.
Last time I checked, murder was illegal, punishable by death in many states, yet it still occurs.
Can someone explain to me why this is the end of the franchise? What the hell are they going to do for Trek movies if this is the end of the TNG crew?
DS9 movies wouldn't really work unlesss they plan to resurrect Ben Sisko.
Voyager would suck since it's already back in the Alpha Quadrant.
Enterprise movie? Er... As much as I'd like to see T'Pol in a full length movie I don't really think they'd do a movie while it's still in production.
Thoughts?
