Why don't you tell us, assuming you're from the West somewhere? Islam doesn't regard Christianity as strictly monotheistic because of the whole son of god and trinity business. Monotheism is really just a code word for Islam. And it's not just a question for polytheists. Atheists aren't monotheistic either.
Mac Pro is a high end workstation, not a gaming machine. It's way too expensive (and powerful). Unfortunately, none of the machines in their lineup are suited for gaming (some are completely useless due to the GMA fiasco). Apple needs to release a suitable machine (something like a MacPro/2) and video cards will start showing up. It's up to Apple to get the ball rolling here.
How do you imagine they're going to play games on the Macs when half of them have the notorious Intel GMA "video cards", most of which still don't have hardware T&L (example: Intel GMA950 is still used in Mac minis and was until recently in MacBooks)? The other half of the Macs has outdated and non-upgradeable video cards. To illustrate: the most up to date video card you can get for the Mac Pro (most upgradeable and powerful Mac) is the Radeon 3870 or the NVidia 8800GT (both a generation behind the curve).
I don't think developers are going to take gaming on OS X seriously until Apple does.
I found Nisca better and easier to extend than rrdtool. I liked the fact it has full history so you can zoom in on the stats at any point in the past. But it is a difficult to set up for the first time and seems half-abandoned now.
the Russian state news agency (RIA Novosti) web site is out since this morning? Their two DNS servers (her.rinet.ru, her.rian.ru) seem to have dropped off the face of the earth. Seems someone is might be engaged in cyberwarfare against them, doesn't it?
What that Bell spinster is saying is a load of crap. I'm with Teksavvy for DSL and I had absolutely no slowdowns before the throttling began about two months ago. I was getting 500 Kbps all day long, any day of the week for any kind of transfer. Their network seems just fine to me. I think the throttling has nothing to do with network congestion and everything to do with them losing customers to smaller ISPs because of throttling and their brand new video download store. They started throttling their own customers in the October 2007. People started leaving Bell so now they are throttling everyone, whether they're their customer or not.
And they're sometimes throttling my connection outside 4 PM to 2 AM time frame.
Do you realize China is the biggest US creditor (US being neck deep in debt) and holds the biggest reserve of US dollars outside US? All those trillions US is borrowing are underwritten by China. You're deluding yourself if you think US can pressure China economically.
Ballmer has been a complete failure in every single effort by Microsoft to create viable products outside of their core OS/office software/server software products. Ballmer for President! Can't miss!
Mac Pros upgadeable? Think again. You can put in a boatload of RAM, hard drives and an odd RAID card but that's it. You can't even upgrade the graphics on the previous generation Mac Pro (that was sold up until January) to the current standard 8800 GT. Even the current generation Mac Pro will only accept Radeon 2600XT and GeForce 8800GT video cards (with Apple-specific firmware) and that's it. Pretty thin for a $3000 machine.
Now, I know two wrongs don't make anything right but that lot from Srebrenica raided surrounding Serb territory and slaughtered a couple of thousand of Serbs. I haven't seen anyone cry genocide or ethnic cleansing over that. The Muslim commander of Srebrenica, Naser Oric, was convicted of war crimes during those raids. The UN safe haven was set up promptly when Oric and his lot started losing to the Serbs. So not exactly Bhuddists, Naser Oric of Srebrenica.
It's true that they're not inconsistent or subjective. They consistently patent idiotic, obvious and redundant things. No subjectiveness or inconsistency there.
Cancel the service instead of just whining or waiting for the government to do something for you. There are plenty ISPs that don't practice any throttling. It's not like you don't have a choice.
I don't use Rogers for anything any more. They have always been like this, except that geeks are only just now noticing.
How about open sourcing the Volt? And standardizing its batteries (to spur innovation for replacements down the line)? And delivering it before 2010? That'd be something to get excited about...
He should be able to output 1280x800 (I can, I hooked up a mini to it and that's what it ran at). I don't get that part. But I agree, it'd be nice if it could natively display something other than 2560x1600 & 1280x800.
3008 is a better monitor to be sure, at least on paper. Now if it only had an LED backlight...
The 3007 isn't a TV. I'd be nice if it had extra inputs but not essential.
It's not meant to be hooked up to DVD players because the resolution is too high (2560x1600) and the size is too small (30''). You get no advantage from hooking up a 3007 to a DVD player versus a 30'' 1900x1200 TV except that the 3007 is a lot more expensive than a TV. In fact, you can get a 1200p 42'' LCD TV for less than the 3007.
I love my 3007 (SIPS display at 2560x1600 is just gorgeous, 2407 is a PVA monitor so it simply doesn't compare) and I won't be selling it just yet.
Or maybe, just maybe, they only want Cyrillic characters in URLS. ASCII isn't suitable for majority of the world so brace yourself for more of this in future.
The article is loaded with bs like this brownish pearl: Kleinwachter says the speculation is that people will need a password authorised by government agencies to use the global internet.
How the fsck did he deduce that from introduction of Cyrillic DNS?
Because improving emissions on vehicles results in either: A) a reduction in performance by a vehicle, which results in higher fuel consumption, which makes the majority of the changes moot. Or B) Improving fuel efficiency, which results in people driving more often because it's cheaper.
It's true that more efficient cars tend to be less powerful but it's utter nonsense to say that causes higher fuel consumption. Example: a diesel Jetta (1.9 tdi) spends less fuel than gasoline one (2.0 or 2.5). It'll never spend more, under any circumstances because, well, it just spends less fuel. And your B point is also equally nonsensical.
Try reading what Al-Qaeda is saying in Arabic, the stuff that isn't directed at the West. Quite different from what gets played on Al-Jazeera for us. Same story about Gadaffi, Arafat and many others. I agree it's better we understand each other although I'm not sure that'd lead for more peace initially.
There's a difference. US doesn't hang people off cranes in downtown (leaving them there for a week so nobody misses it) or force them to drink their urine if they didn't dress according to Sharia code or chop off their hands for theft. I don't support the death penalty at all (anywhere) but the fact US does it doesn't mean I am going to stop criticizing Iran (or Saudi Arabia). And again, US != Iran, as bad as the death penalty is. There's no comparison.
I wrote to him concerning DMCA and copyright issues and he replied. He sounded very pro-DMCA and pro restrictive copyright despite the very careful wording. It is really odd because he's a Conservative (Liberals are media darlings, just like Democrats in the US). I won't be voting for him come next election which isn't too far off, that's for sure.

Because I paid for that last mile of copper, be it phone or cable. How's that for justification?

And who do we vote for? Liberals? They're not in bed with big media companies? Please enlighten me.
