He didn't want to get rid of his CDs, he wanted to get a CD jukebox for mass storage.
I'd had a won copy of Microsoft Windows XP, and a cracked copy of Office XP (from a 30-day trial version they sent me), but I've since migrated to FreeBSD, which didn't cost me a fuckload for shitty broken pieces of crap.
had a Towers of Hanoi problem in it, with three towers. My non-math-inclined XBOX owning friend invited me over to do it for him. After doing that for him and doing it myself on the game a couple of times, it's 1 min... pretty neat, though.
Even if it's the plural, we're not pluralizing "50." There was only one 1950. The 50s refers to the decade between 1950 and 1959, and each year only happened once.
Every (decent) chess engine uses an opening book, so in the first moves of the game only some moves will drastically turn the tides for one player or the other., This is why there's so many openings.
No use reinventing the wheel, I guess. You could ask why they use Linux or OpenBSD or FreeBSD or anything instead of making their own secure-by-default OS.
The issue here that caught my glance was that it's a Canadian company, which seems curious, considering that the DoD doesn't much outsource work.
1. Making documents available via networks is no good, sure, but sometimes necessary.
2. "Encryption, regardless of how big the key is, still has the possibility of someone hitting it, like the lottery." Have you heard of somebody chancing to break an RSA-encrypted document? Have you heard of somebody brute-forcing breaking an RSA-encrypted document?
3. "Not to mention I read somewhere recently how an enycription string length, the longer it gets the more likely it is to be written down somewhere or placed under a less secure but easier to remember key or password." Are you sure you read that somewhere? Are you sure that it wasn't that you read it nowhere? It would be hard for somebody to write down this string on their arm, or anywhere: it's pretty long. The NSA is pretty unlikely to use insecure passphrases, I would think.
Uh, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but if I'm praying with friends of mine before class begins at a public school that's on the level. Teacher-led prayer, or prayer at times that it's inappropriate (e.g., you were just asked a question by the teacher) or when it's a burden to other students (e.g., blocking a hallway) isn't acceptable and shouldn't be. Student-led prayer, also, at football games or graduation is unconstitutional, because that's sort of forcing one's views on the rest of those present. Voluntary prayer should be voluntary, and only done with those who wish to.
I quote the ACLU: Public schools are not hostile to students' religious expression. Student religious clubs, for example, operate smoothly in a majority of the nation's 15,000 school districts. Likewise, the government cannot deny groups access to government facilities and parks just because of the religious nature of their expression. Many of the examples of suppression of religious speech the religious right constantly point to are already illegal, and can be addressed under current law.
Um... I don't know that that's right. When I was on AOL I used Firebird sans any firewall configuration. AOL users are on the Internet proper with an IP address and all.
They're called "volumes" instead of "seasons" because Volume 1 has all of Season 1 and the first four episodes of Season Two. Volume 2, I believe, has all the rest of Season Two. Season 1 was only twelve episodes, is why they did that.
Last I checked, Photoshop was around $600 per workstation. XP Pro is $200/station, and I think licenses for NT/2K/2K3 server are around $100/seat. So really, Windows ended up being the cheaper part of of the equation, at $300 per station.
Linux = $600 PS cost Windows = $200 XP cost + $100 server cost + $600 PS cost = $900
Alright, I do cede that. China's a pretty terrible nation and it really bothers me that we'll trade with them but not with Cuba, and our justification on Cuba is that they're Communists. People sometimes will praise Nixon for opening up trade with China but that's not really something commendable, in my eyes. But the cowtowing of legislation here to corporations and executives trumping the rights of workers isn't something that's good, either.
I like that you went from saying don't buy Chinese products because of political reasons, and you should buy American and Japanese products because of quality ones. Anyway, given the current political climate I wouldn't say America is spectacularly better than China--or if we are, America certainly isn't as good as some other nations (Canada, Sweden, say.)
Also, Taiwan is the Chinese nationalists. Taiwan != China.
Wow. All of those had terrible effects, and Foodfight is little more than a huge ol' advertisement with bad graphics (from what I last saw.) Seriously, it's evil.

Nintendo doesn't lose money on their consoles. They're the only console that doesn't.

That seems sensible. But he did say, by your own admission, the latter, incorrect usage.
He didn't mean to pluralize "50," though, or "1950." He referred to the decade 195x C.E., and each year only happened once.

Proper English called. They want their apostrophe back.
(Apostrophes, you recall, are for OWNERSHIP.)

Pretty dumb arguments.

False.
By that logic Coca-Cola should never advertise.

He forgot that Windows XP doesn't come free with Photosop 7.

Linux = $600 PS cost

Windows doesn't come with Photoshop free.
Hmm. Funny you should post this with a Hotmail address and "gotdotnet.com" as your webpage...

Not really a troll, though, I was just trying to be funny.

Man, that's pretty lame. 16/9 = 1.7... and 480/272 is 1.76426. False advertising!

With this sort of a margin, the House at least has a supermajority that could oveturn a veto. Hopefully the Senate can muster 67 votes too.
