these are still slightly more expensive than AMD. However, most users still want Intel chips, and I expect many people would be willing to pay the extra $15-$20 per chip. Besides, when it costs $200, $15 isn't all that much. I myself use a 700 mhz Duron... got it for $60. It works fine with Linux, Mozilla, gcc, Hitman...
fuel processor that converts methanol into hydrogen.
I'm not sure what the imperical formula for Methanol is, but I'm sure it's not only Hydrogen. Shouldn't there be other chemicals/elements left over too?
This is not a flame nor a troll. I must defend Ralph Nader.
Nader LIED
What? What did he lie about? Are you saying that his opinion that the two political parties are growing more and more similar is a lie? It is a simple opinion. Perhaps if he used incorrect data, misquoted a candidate, etc. it would be a lie. But his personal opinion is not a lie. It's the way he sees things. He was not saying they were exactly the same on all issues; that is absurd. On important issues, Gore did not take a strong stance, or he took the wrong stance (in the eyes of many voters). The 3% of the voters who voted for Nader weren't fooled. They weren't stupid. They knew exactly what happened.
In fact, 40% of Nader voters would have voted for Gore in polls close to the election. The polls showed Nader at around 5%, +- 1%. His actual showing was around 3%, about 40% less than expected. Gore had a scare campaign that did nothing to dispute Nader's opinions. All it did was scare voters of Bush. Vote for Gore! He's not Bush! Is that all he was? No; he did not want to remind voters that his positions on the issues were not that of the votes he wanted. He "lied" (using your definition) much, much more than did Nader.
Gore didn't support finance reform. Why? Because he's a corporate tool. He wanted funds from wherever he could get them so he could beat Bush, even if it meant selling out to corporations. If he sells out, he can't protect the environment so well. (Although I don't think he would destroy it so much as Bush, but the sitution is constantly deteriorating and somethintg must be done). With neither major party supporting finance reform, Ralph Nader steps in. He is a product with voters fed up with the way financing works. His target was the nonvoters: half the eligible population.
And, if you keep voting for the lesser of two evils;
1. You are still voting for evil
2. They will become more and more evil to compete with each other, if you keep voting for them.
Wow. Raising teachers salaries. Finally someone agrees with me. I mean, I bet most of the/. crowd does too, but in Minnesota, Gov. Ventura is cutting funding for the U of Minnesota, because the professors there "make too much money". He's just upset because someone can make more money than him. What a jackass.
Tyranny would be things like the government throwing people off land because it's declared 'a preserve'.
So, standing by while America strip mines every available source of income on the planet is leadership, while protecting other species and habitats is tyranny?
Assuming you're referring to the Alaska wildlife reserve, you are being rediculous. According to Harper's, April 2001, if the average fuel mileage of SUVS alone were increased by an average of 15% (less than 3 mpg) per vehicle, we would save more than enough oil than that which is in the entire reserve, annually. SUV mileage/size is not regulated since it is essentially a big car on top of a pickup chassis, and considered a car for work. The auto/oil industry bought $56 million over 7 years' worth of votes to not regulate them. In 1999, a bill that would actually prevent Congress from regulation passed Congress. Environmentalists got over 1/3 of the Senate to support the veto and pleaded with Clinton, but Clinton signed it so Detroit (and Michigan) would go to Gore.
Allowing industry to suck oil dry is not tyranny. Tyranny is allowing corporations to have power over the people, and over every imaginable portion of nature left on the planet.
What happened was that many record stores took any cd with warning labels off the shelves. When the Dead Kennedys were taken to trial for obscenity, their stuff was quickly taken off the shelves in many stores. So if you have unapproved-of words or topics in songs, you can't sell them. This IS censorship. Plus, the Dead Kennedys almost were banned in a trial due to the ol' Tipper/Al duo.
Very true. Jello Biafra (of Dead Kennedys fame/running for Green party presidential nomination fame), the first artist(s) ever to be prosecuted for indecency, was prosecuted under Tipper Gore/Al Gore's censorship campaign. His crime was including a poster by Swiss artist HR Giger (created Aliens set, featured in galleries across nation) with *gasp* male genitals! He also swore in his songs, critized the Good Ol US of A, and had inappropriate things in his songs! Won't somebody please think of the children!
I mean, Joe Lieberman is crazy. He's supposed to be a liberal? Enforcing morality, not letting me see Fight Club (an excellent movie by the way)? Come on! Democrats are just as bad as Republicans!
"Record companies could release their records in an encrypted, unable to be copied Windows Media Audio format that would only work on the secure version of the Windows Media Player."
Wasn't WMA hacked like one hour after introduced? I mean, itsn't it used in DivX;) ?
"Record companies could release their records in an encrypted, unable to be copied Windows Media Audio format that would only work on the secure version of the Windows Media Player. A similar arrangement could be reached with the movie studios for film distribution."
In other news, the open source operating system Linux gained popularity against Windows, as does x11amp, especially college users with high-speed net access provided by their college. Many experts say the remarkable increase in popularity is due to the fact that it, unlike Windows, supports many file formats besides the Windows Media Player format.
And another thing: Aren't these "teenie boppers" the ones downloading the RIAA music, NOT the punks? I mean, most punk bands encourage you to download their stuff off Napster.
your homoerotic punk metal clown possies and shove them up your ass.
Punk? Shoved in the same category as teen pop? Punk is about rebelling from the norm (I know, you know some "punks" who are jackasses/idiots/the same as preps... great). Punk idealizes the very same ideas you are writing about. Punk is about not taking shit, doing what you want... freedom. Maybe some kids at your high school like punk rock and dye their hair. But don't lump them with general punk. I mean, the punks I hang out with don't like the corporate propaganda either. Maybe some "punks" idealize some rock stars and imitate them, but they aren't swallowing this teen pop/ conformity stuff.
The point is, the punks are the radicals, the ones who want change, the ones who aren't afraid to stand out (even if some choose to act like each other). Just because the punks like popular music doesn't mean they should be lumped with all the other teenie-boppers. I suggest you learn about Jello Biafra (former singer for Dead Kennedys). He's got tons of bad crap happen to him, including Gore's war against him in the name of "morality" ("concerned parents"), running for Mayor of San Fransico after Harvery Milk was murdered (Dan White gives the famous Twinkie defense and gets off)... With what you had said in the beginning, I thought you WERE a punk, since what you were saying was so close the the punk ideals.
the theoretical maximum optical bandwidth that can be achieved with the human eye is six times greater than the optical cutoff of a normal eye with a 3 mm pupil (i.e. 20/2.5 versus 20/15).
Assume eceryone gets these, using the "enhanced contrast for everyone". (obviously not: many will be afraid, poor - especially in other countries, or the surgery mistakes, etc.) But if it did happen, would we still define 20/20 as we know it? 20/20 is "normal", so would 20/2.5 become the "new 20/20?
Actually, if everyone had perfect vision, we probably wouldn't need to gauge eyesight...
This dashed one of my major hopes about the court loss. I had always hoped that Kaplan was a nut, all alone is his blindness. But since the US govt is taking the side of the studios, a good portion of my hope is lost.
Since this violates the first amendment, wouldn't it take another amendment (2/3 Senate) to override the 1st amendment? Sorry if I misspelled/screwed up big time, but I am in a hurry before school.
Little does he know that there is almost no way he's going to be able to keep his broadband connection without agreeing to pay out thousands of dollars.
Perhaps this ISP won't keep enough info on him so he won't come back again (double negative: He will come back as a costomer). AOL bans people for ping flooding, bombing, etc. but I know AOL re-admits these people fairly quickly. My sister's friend got banned from AOL because their brother tried at some lame attempt to hack the Pentagon or something. But you know what? After banning them, AOL let them right back in. Here's an example from the story: Qwest deactivated the account, but is leaving the door open to reinstatement
I'm not saying that this ISP will let him back in, but they might. If they were paid to not let him/her back in, then they probably wouldn't, but otherwise you can't know if he'll be re-accepted as a costomer.
BTW, did anyone see the part about Outlook and mail bomb? If the dude who bombed him or anyone else pissed at him who knows his e-mail address does, they easily could give him a trojan/virus (since Outlook is notorious for this).
One more thing, wouldn't this "We found ISPs remove things even though they could argue it," he says. "They are reclaiming large amounts of bandwidth. We are providing a service to them, essentially" This really disgusts me. He is admitting that none of it is really illegal, but so what? He's fucking 31337.
Speaking of whores: "You can bet that 60 of these people were involved in piracy," he says. "If the police raid a whorehouse and you're standing in the hallways...." If they raid a legitimate and popular store with many legitimate costomers but occaisonally does a little illegal stuff, and you're in the hallway...
If that's true, should we worship it, or write a bible, or something? I mean the last time that allegedly happened, that computer (I mean god) became a major god.
I suggest using audioGnome (audioGnome.com), Opennap (opennap.sourceforge.net), or something to a similar effect. Opennap has a list of some other clients that may be useful. Since I know audioGnome, I'll describe that: many smaller servers (you can connect to Napster too, but only 1 server at a time) are available. you connect to a ton of them at a time. I'm not sure how it gets new servers for you (closed-source) but it either has a central audioGnome server that gets a list of registered Opennap servers or it does a Gnutella thing where you can connect to the servers other people connected to the same servers as you are (wow, that was complicated wording).

They aren't *that* big, and if they could hit you there, they might as well shoot you in the face.
My guess would be either
(2)H2 + CO, or
H20 + H2 + C
Is GB:
(1) Genius B
(2) George Bush
(3) both?

1st post!
1st post!
He was only doing it to improve security; it was a favor.
1st post!
He should have left it alone to Intel. Would you want someone breaking into your house and changing the locks?
Hacking is not like breaking into a house. It's like testing all the locks on a house.
It's cracking.
I don't need anyone testing my locks.
He should have been fired, but not prosecuted.
Are you kidding? He committed a crime! Lock him up!
Our rights are slowly slipping away. We need to stop this abuse of power. Corporate lobbying has created the opportunity for the lawsuit.
It's people like you who voted for Nader and cost Gore the election.
Good, Gore is just as business - protective as Bush. We need to vote for Nader to show those Democrats that we won't stand for this!
