    I'm sorry but in my version of english template means based off the same thing, um Disturbed, POD and Linkin Park sound nothing at all like being based of the same thing, I mean really, disturbed is screaming metal if anything, linkin park is techno rock, and POD is well, crap if you ask me, but if you ask anyone else, well they're crap. but sounding the same as either linkin park or disturbed, man you need to crank up the hearing aid.

    You must be in a nice state where welfare pays for stuff. Where I'm at I'd make more money at mcdonalds then on welfare. I'd rather be a telemarketer calling dipshits like you then be working 60-80 hour weeks in fastfood. Also telemarketing is signifigantly less off a problem than your other examples.

    I'm sorry, but how did Clinton lead to 9/11 more than any other president? I'm sure Bush has made more enemies in the middle east than Clinton ever did. US Foreign policy usually seems to have the goal of pissing off as many people as possible in as short a time as possible.

    Yup, retailers sure make a profit on them. When I worked at Fry's we bought them for 299.90 and sold them for 299.95. Whopping 5 cents profit. When the price dropped to 199.95 we were buying the new ones for 199.00 so we were almost making a buck on those ones. Thats some profit there.

  9. Re:The Internet model on One Worldwide Power Grid · · Score: 0

    Sorry about not giving any points I was a little bit slammed, still am sorta. But here it goes I'd imagine that the market forces in play here are a lot like the ones in play in the 80's for phone service. If given a monopoly, a company will fight to maintain exclusive control over its geographical domain, to the detriment of consumers. They're not. The 80's had ATT and later the bells abusing the monopoly powers, and not paying their congress man. Currently the Power companys arn't abusing the monopoly powers because there isn't a monopoly. I can choose between a few diffrent power companies The evolution of the internet is in stark contrast to this, where bandwidth can be bought from any one of many vendors (despite efforts of existing local telco's and cable providers to restrict the market by controlling the wiring). Abuses of power in one industry do not make it the same in others. The power industry is more than willing to help people with trying new things on their wires, the power bandwith projects and the slinging of fiber through the center of power lines. Let the market decide where and when it's economically feasible to lay new power lines, and this will grow much like WiFi is, starting in the most-demanded areas and spreading out from there. Along with this will come the kind of redundancies that the northeast U.S. and Canada should have had; with market forces in play a company is going to be very careful about making sure their customers don't lose power--the damage to a competing company's reputation from something like the recent blackout would be terrible for them to contemplate. First WiFi started from scratch so it could grow. However letting power companies decide where it's cost effective to put power is a bad idea. They will shy away from slinging it out to the boonies. Just like the cable and telco's do right now. Even with a grid like the article talked about there is only so much power to go along the lines, the power generation is centrilized. So it doens't matter WHO you have you still lose power if somthing close enought to the power plant dies. I'll look forward to the day I can have a box on the side of my house into which I can plug whatever sources of electricity I choose, and I expect that the costs of this commodity will then drop dramatically, much like telephone service did. This is what made me make my comment, a box on the side of your house? No, the companies will lease the use of the power lines and you will have to a pay a line transport fee. The costs will not drop as according to my power bill only bout 30% of my bill is power, the rest is taxes and line lease fees. Telephone service didn't exactly drop in price, long distance has to some extent but thats because of more carrying capacity not dergulation.

  11. Actully, frys sells way to waaay to many on Fry's Electronics - Selling Linux... Or Not? · · Score: 1

    I used to work at Frys in the service department, we handled returns on all computers, these included. These computers are in the ad every other week for $189 or $199. We would return 60-70 a week with most of them going back to the manufacuter. But they were almost all exchanges so the customer still got a computer that had linux on it. Then there were the 30-40 support calls a day asking about how to use it or install windows.
