That is simply not true. It is over diagnosed, but some of us do suffer from it. I stuggle every day to keep up with "normal" people, but this does not stop me from taking a full academic load (mostly AP and college classes), working 25 hours per week, and keeping in shape. I have never once used either ADD or Tourette's Syndrome as an excuse for special treatment in anything, even when such treatment was offered to me. But as I type this I realise I am responding to a troll and will stop ranting now...
No, actually, I was sitting at my computer reading slashdot when I realised I was almost late for work. In my rush to not get fired I did not preview my post and submitted with little regard for spelling or capitalization.
I imagine it's simply that philosophers aren't "exciting" enough for all the ADD-afflicted American audiences. fuck you, i have ADD an i can understand movies and books at the same level as normal people.
provided that I'm allowed to find used pieces
or prices that hi-fi shops get the stuff for. my uncle works at the local hi-fi store and i got a pair of $800 speakers for $350. the profit margins are amazing
but isn't 3rd party non-included free software what all you linux folk want? i have never had musicmatch jukebox or winamp crash or cause other problems... infact i havn't had to restart since i installed beta 2 (more than a month ago).
well winamp and musicmatch both work. i don't know anyone who isn't a compter nerd that uses other software. so if yes microsoft lets its largest comptetitors operate and if no, well, oh well...
1. Deliberately hurts Mp3
unless you use 3rd party software
4. REQUIRES activation (and giving out info) to be a legal license.
it does require activation, but that isn't a problem if you actally buy the software. It does not give out your info, all it does is generate a unique identification number based on your hardware which gives them no information.
5. Is a very MINOR technical upgrade from Windows 2000
except most of the sales will be to the home user (via the "personal" version of XP). If you are running win2k and consider this a minor technical upgrade here is an idea: dont upgrade.
6. Has a GUI that would make anyone outside Miss Shirley's Romper Room throw up. I much prefer KDE 2.1.
hmmm... i dont seem to be throwing up... and i happen to like it. if you prefer KDE 2.1, use it and stop complaining about things that you won't use anyway, or use the "windows classic" theme.
oh yeah, i burned a cd while typing this (using 3rd party software (musicmathc jukebox) in XP).
ok, seriously. how was that offtopic? the parent post made multiple references to the Black & White. geomcbay was being redundant, if nothing else. (THIS is offtopic)
