I think Christopher Titus covered this well (I am paraphrasing). It's easy to tell a racist joke in a group of all the same people, but if one of the people around you, is, say, a "photo negative" of the rest of the group, there are a few filters you need to run that joke through first.
It helps small time people that they are not required to report inventory unless they make over one million dollars in the last 3 years (total I assume).
It was not spyware. In one version (2003 I think) they implemented product activation. The protection was stupidly implemented because of it writing to the boot sector, but it was not spyware.
AFAIK the backlash was such that they moved to a defferent form of protection or did away with protection completely.
People should always buy tax software rather then pirate it since you can deduct it's cost, and you need a real receipt for records.
I seem to remember a friend who bough a set and he complained about some DRM taht was part of the software for them. I dont remember if they were MS brand or another company.
I tried that, but I couldnt get a driver for my 64 bit FC HBA for linux on Alpha. Not to mention at the time the gentoo instructions were totally borked and I hit a few showstopping bugs in the OS compile that were not fixed yet.
I am just going to temporarily downgrade to a x86 linux distro so I have a functional driver to load in to see if getting my array to work.
The great thing about 2000 is that with a simple addition to the windows registry (1 line) you get a compatability tab just like in XP. So far I havent found anything (game wise) that will run under xp in compatability mode that will not run on 2000 with compatability mode.YMMV
"1. He was canned less than halfway through the initial two week suspension. Now we will never know just how many -- and which -- advertisers were voting with their wallets."
According to the news yesterday all major advertisers had peeled away from the entire MSNBC station and CBS (the radio side).
This may have been an overstatement on the reporters part, but I would not be amazed if it was accurate.
My reason for buying a Prius was geek/tech and not "SAVE TEH PLANETES!!!1". I needed a car, and liked the technology I saw. If you do not believe me check out previous posts in my history.
I never claimed it was environmentally conscious to make any vehicle (or are you saying the H2/H3 is an environmentally sound product).
The one thing most anti-hybrid people harp on is the batteries, but Toyota recycles them (I believe they shoot for all recyclable materials in the build) as well as makes sure to get them back due to the bounty.
The whole Hummer good, Prius bad thing is nothing but paid for advert research crap.
Like the whole issue of the mining town referenced. Old information that is night and day different from what is the truth since the start of the existence of the Prius (in fact the town and plant were turned around many years before Toyota was their customer). Facts and figures being bad math work or total fiction. All that part of the "study" was in there for was to make an emotional appeal to people.
This is the same study that shows that the Prius costs $300K to drive and needs the batteries replaced every 2 years. From that study, and my Prius just now (last night) hitting 100K miles I should be out massive amounts of cash. I'm not.
I'm all for hearing how I have destroyed the earth and caused the end of the world in 2012, but get some facts and figures that are not written by a paid marketing group for "blowjobs" and actually accurate please.
For example "Most of the gas is consumed as the car goes from 0 to 30" that's true for any vehicle depending on how you choose to drive.
Do you have any proof other them a made up BS article that the Hybrids are all worse on the environment in production then a Hummer H2/H3? Did you study the manufacturing process in both cases? If one company works to mitigate pollution issues during production, but another creates less pollution pipes it into the environment, the first company is doing something to prevent contaminating the environment. Now that was a made up hypothetical example and I make no claims that is what happens, but there is a lot more to pollution and environmental impact then blindly taking a paid marketers words in support of the product they are paid to push. This applies to Toyota as well as GM and every other manufacturer of any product (even farms).
I expect people on/. to be able to filter out BS a lot better then you have. Don't post total BS and then be surprised when people call you on it.
My prius is almost 5 years old now and shows no sign of me needing to buy a brand new one. The pdf in your link part of that debunked study that showed the H2 was supposedly a better cost vehicle? Read the last/. article where people who actually live near that mine explain the info in that BS study (paid for reaserch) is about 20 years out of date at least and it's numbers for a lot of things are wrong.
I thought you were making a referance to a Sci-FI short story (I think by Heinlein) about some inventor who made a crystaline structure that was a high efficiency converter of light to electricity.

I think Sony wants to kill off DVD. Make 'em so they no longer work and then push bluray even harder since that nasty old DVD is no longer working.
"The distinct majority of the people who distribute and buy that bullshit music are NOT BLACK. "
This may be true (I dont know the numbers I admit) but who produces and performs. Without those elements there is nothing to distribute and sell.

I'm white and I apologize.
Some of them even have (scary quotes) "Tatoos".

I think we will have produced our best work when something like "Tik-Tok" (by Sladek not Baum)happens.

That's not a hippie, that's someone who is Lactose Intollerant!
How do we compare Bin Ladens to Rhode Island?
Good thing Monster makes those 3' jitter correcting optical cables then.

Tank you for that, now I cant get Rush's "The Trees" out of my head. Damn Canadians.
The stoler Stacker code was in MS DOS 6.0 thats why there was a follow up 6.21 (remove the infringing program) and 6.22 (new program) release.
I know your name for some reason. R.A.A.M? Or yahoo AMV list?
Anyway.
You can enable the OS compatability tab (to shortcuts) in Windows 2K by running "regsvr32 c:\apppatch\slayerui.dll".
There is a more involved process to give the system aplication level compatability options.
You forgot: THERE ARE UNUSED ICONS ON YOUR DESKTOP!!1!
posting the rest to defeat the lamness filter because it is lame.

Maybe I should try Debian.

Is there a benefit to using the boot cd over telling the bios to boot from the other hdd?

So we can blame Ferris for the wii shortage.
What adapter? Gamecube controllers can plug right in.
