You really can't buy your way to better pictures unless what you have now is garbage. If you really want better pictures, you need to learn how to get the most out of a camera. A DSLR isn't going to help you if all you want is point and shoot. If all you want is point and shoot, you aren't going to get the picture quality you want. Don't look at a camera like a video card. YOU have to do at least some of the work when it comes to photography. Figure out what makes the pictures you take now look bad and figure out what you need for them to look better.
My guess is that they violate the licensing agreement you have to click through when you install the software. So like the AC posted, it's probably a civil case.
It's not spam, as in unsolicited email. The game has a built in chat system for people to communicate and quest together. What they do is create a character with the 30-day free trial offers (my guess is they can't be tracked since there is no credit card). They then use macros/addons to harvest who's playing (character names) and send chat messages to all of them, advertising their website. They then delete the character and get another 30-day free trial offer and start again.
What Blizzard has done is put in limitations so they can't do this anymore.
The case numbering suggests that there were at least 153 investigations of misconduct at the FBI in 2003 alone.
This doesn't really give us anything to compare it to. How many cases of misconduct were there each year before the PATRIOT act? How many agents are there? How many investigations were there with no misconduct?
The example given talks about an FBI investigation into a US citizen and that the investigating agent was months late on filing the 90-day and the 1-year report. Regardless of the severity of this misconduct, I'm not sure I see what this has to do with the PATRIOT Act. If the agent was forced to get a warrant prior to the investigation, it doesn't mean that agent would have necessarily complied with all of the follow-up paperwork.
I just find it hard to get up in arms over what little information was presented. Or maybe I'm just missing the point.
It seems like there's a lot of wasted space in the top third of the application window. I'm guessing this is slated for XP and not Longhorn so you'd think they'd make it look more like other XP apps.
but can you buy a standard 6600 video card for "pcs" and throw it in a mac?
I believe, technically, you could always use standard video cards in a Mac. I think the major problem was Apple monitors were ADC so the "Mac" version of video cards came with an ADC interface. Since Apple had been selling Macs with only ADC video cards, video card manufacturers weren't developing drivers for the non-ADC cards (I might be wrong on this). But I believe you could always use any AGP/PCI video card as long as you had a monitor that supported DVI or VGA (and there was a driver).
The Mac and PC video cards should now be identical hardware-wise, so my guess is that since Mac OS and Mac OS X are both supported OS's for this card, you should be able to plug in any 6600 so long as your Mac supports PCI-X. Also, if you have one of the older ADC monitors you'll need the DVI-to-ADC adapter that Apple sells for $99.
If you look at the tech specs for the nvidia GeForce 6600 they list Mac OS as being supported. This isn't all that surprising now that Apple have chosen the DVI interface for their monitors instead of their own ADC interface.
The ADC interface made sense in that power, video and USB were brought up to the monitor in a single cable but I'd rather have a larger selection of video cards for my Mac.
I think the lawsuit against Fox over bovine growth hormone proves that this will cost them nothing. From what I gather, Fox reporters were pressured by Fox executives to alter their news story in order to paint a prettier picture about the effects of BGH. When the reporters didn't change the story they were fired. A lawsuit insued and Fox has won on appeal because, get this, the FCC doesn't require news agencies to tell the truth.
So, whether this was done on purpose or accidentally, from a legal perspective it matters little.
"...a decision was handed down from the National Arbitration Forum that took away ownership of RadioAid.com's website."
Findlaw has an article on a judge overturning a decision by the NAF over freebies.com and the NAF is being sued for "...refusing to disclose information about how it handles cases when consumer rights are at stake." Google for National Arbitration Forum and you'll find what looks like many(read through the thread) sketchy things about this group.
Running 10.2.8 (updated as of yesterday's fix from Apple) I can't get the.dmg file to even download when clicking on the example exploit. I get the following error message:
"osxMalware.dmg" failed to mount due to error 2. (No such file or directory)
Did Apple's fix take care of this or is the exploit no longer available?
Everything I had read in the past led me to believe that Bioware was done with NWN and Wizards of the Coast. The subject of the thread ("How much do YOU trust Atari now?") and the ensuing comments (all negative towards Atari) lead me to believe that the post from Grok (Atari public relations) was an attempt to quell the anger on the message board.
If NWN2 and BG3 are in the making they're being done by someone else and I can only imagine how much they will be unlike their predecessors.
It seems rather obvious that the AC did RTFA. As you even pointed out, they used aluminum discs, not stones. There's no mention of how well their discs approximate a stone in weight/shape etc.
I should have done this before. I was itching to get my facts straight. I just called the Kinkos in Framingham, MA I was quoted $7/ft^2 for vinyl, $10/ft^2 for matte finish and $15/ft^2 for high gloss. I was quote $60 to print the map I linked to.
So your 4'x3' poster would be $84 $120 or $180, depending on the paper. My memory wasn't so great but the pricing still isn't bad.

He registered ITunes.co.uk on Nov. 7 2000, and Apple trademarked ITunes on Dec. 8, 2000.

Doh... yeah I thought PCI-X was PCI-Express. Thanks for the correction.
The iBook, PowerBook and iMac all have AGP slots as well. Not sure about the eMac. The new G5 Power Macs have PCI-X as well.

Someone used Halo to make animated shorts. Check these out. Scroll down to the episodes, they're pretty damn funny.
One would have thought the implied joke was the obvious part.
if a plane breaks the sound barrier and no one is around to hear it, does it make a boom?
I thought we were waiting for them to stop speaking.
...anyone have a screenshot so I can judge for myself?

Not that I was able to decipher much of it anyway even with the fish.
Who is SCO suing now, damn it?! Oh wait, nevermind...
