Yeah, they've forced other free e-mail providers to compete, and the consumers are benefiting.
What a rip.
Benefiting how? Would you really make more use of 100 GB than 1 GB? What they do is just increasing "the number that matters" to sell their product. Notice how they aren't at all adding any other of Gmail's features. That's because it was only the account size that got attention when Gmail was introduced, so they ignore other things, because they don't really care for their customers, just to sell their product.
Lately, my interest in the Mono project has been growing. The C# language appears to offer just that sweet spot between power and productivity I've been looking for
Yeah, of course now that there's an open source implementation, C# is a good language...
If anything's bad, isn't it their proprietary codecs they try to push in the media industry?
I'd rather see them have the WMA/WMV codecs excluded and if a user plays such things, s/he gets directed to a Microsoft web site where they can be downloaded.
Not allowing a stupid media player just seems silly to me.
Han fired first. Period. The fact that he did speaks to his character, and changing that changes his character.
In the 2004 edition, Han fires pretty much simultaneously as Greedo. Maybe slightly after, but IMHO so shortly afterwards that it can't have been a reaction to Greedo, but more that both was thinking the same thing, and firing about the same time.
What I think Lucas tried to do in the Special Edition wasn't to make Solo look like a wimp, but to make Greedo look evil. He is more evil than Han Solo after all. You can say he's as much as a scumbag as you want, but he do belong to the good guys. So I think Lucas considered it logical to make Greedo shoot first in SE, then realized his mistake and tried to fix it up while maintaining Greedo's intents (that it -- to not just sit there waiting to get killed).

In the US, on the other hand, it's just as illegal to download from allofmp3 as it is to download from the p2p service, so there's still no point in using allofmp3, unless you really enjoy giving your credit card number to Russians running a service of highly dubious legality.
I personally generate a temporary VISA number so they aren't getting my real one in case "something" would happen. But why are you saying it's not legal? Can someone here saying this point me to a place where it says they're illegal outside of Russia?
Unless you're a Russian citizen, living in Russia, listening to the music in Russia, allofmp3.com is also not legal. If you're going to violate local copyright laws, at least use a P2P service where they don't take down your name and credit card number.
What information do you base this on?:-/
Have any judge said so, or do you have more insight in laws than I do?:-)
No private organization has even been to the moon, and NASA is going pretty great lengths to ensure they understand all effects and implications from staying in space a very long time.

Yes, that's why I downloaded the laserdisc versions of Star Wars, waiting for Lucas to release the original trilogy DVD's. I'll do the same thing now, except I'm downloading the EE's.

Actually, Attack of the Clones pretty much says this too. The geonosians were the funny-speaking bugs right?:)
They show Count Dooku the blueprints they've made, which I suppose later gets leaked to R2-D2.:)
Microsoft affirmed that its recent security improvements to IE would be made available only to XP users.
The parent should be modded down since regardless the source of this, it's incorrect. Microsoft has later clearly said that it's only restricting new features to IE, not security patches.
I've heard lots saying what you say, about "having patience" and having the ports open (of course -- I never have them closed on BT). But so far, eMule has, regardless how long I've waited, never even been close to the speeds with BT. It seems like it's a perfect sharing app for DSL users, it only goes above 512 kbps once in a blue moon for me, but certainly not for broadband users with unlimited uploads.
it rewards for not capping your upload in the software, but if you use an outgoing traffic limiting thing at the router the software knowns no different. i get the same dl speed if i'm giving my full 40k up (ack) or limiting it to 5k~10k
I think this is supposed how it should work in theory, but even with hundreds of sources and having my upload limit at 1,000 KB / sec (yes, I have a 10 Mbps connection), I can still just download at maybe ~50 KB / sec max. Things looks different with BitTorrent, where the download is much more in line with the upload. I think this is due to the huge number of ADSL users on eMule/eDonkey, or people with artificially capped uploads.
I hate to disagree, but we did not get the original trilogy. We got a trilogy that has been monkeyed with and, in parts, made worse while in other parts made better.
I of course meant "original" as in "first trilogy".
The revisions he has made was only because the first release didn't live up to his vision with Star Wars due to technical limitations, etc.

I never liked organized toying around with human psychology anyway... It would be one thing if the gamblers could say "no", but it has been proven again and again that it's a problem to just do so for many, that soon enough becomes a real life problem. Going to internet with this stuff is like a slap in their face, since it's going to be even easier than ever before to get into trouble. Of course, this obsession and all is hard to understand for anyone who haven't been there.

So how the hell did Luke recognize him?
Heh, well, which other dead Jedi-relative to Luke would it be?
Yeah, and finally the Windows port of Lynx will gain some market share!

Hm... So MovieLink doesn't allow you to watch the movie on TV? :-S
:-P
Are they nuts?
How are you supposed to watch them? On the coputer monitor? lol!
I hope I'm missing something, and I can unfortunately not check myself since that stupid site aren't even letting me in.
Hehe, that made me laugh :-)
Why don't they just say "Sorry, but we only support the browser Internet Explorer on Windows. We don't plan on supporting anything else".
Huh? I recognise all the words, but you're not making any sense.
He says that he wants the disc costs to be lowered.

Someone could simply include a jpeg image to the mail and since images are loaded by default, they would infect everyone.
No, they aren't, at least not in Outlook 2003.
An exe file? What the hell am I supposed to do with that? It must be for some OS I've never heard of.
