Here is something to consider. What's the one thing that every MMOG player complains about? (I mean besides the patch that didn't go very well.) It's the amount of time they waste. Whether it be skinning boar or collecting compoenents to make items to sell in your shop it still isn't killing monsters or questing. The real kick in the teeth is that you are more or less forced to spend spend/waste the time making money so you can afford the equpment to go out and adventure and have fun. So is it cheeting? Maybe. But let's face it, if you find it tedious to sit around collecting venom sacks to turn into poison you can sell for 5 copper more than what it cost you to make it, then maybe buying you gold with real money is the answer to your entertainment woes.
I'm coming up on my 33rd year with diabetes and if I had a dime for every time someone shouted 'CURE' I'd be rubing elbows with Bill Gates at the billionaire boys club. Like any disease that people can live with there is no funding for "CURES" or maybe it is more accurate to say there is no profit in a cure.
Can't wait to see Intell or AMD suing users of any OS for infringment of their Instruction Set. Maybe Nissan will sue me for using my... errr I mean their break peddle.
Never underestimate the power of a large group of stupid judges...
This sounds like just another pretty name at a cheap price, designed to gain market share by selling processors to the same bunch of people who buy cars based on the color.
ED: I found the car I'm going to buy. JOHN: That's good. What is it? ED: I don't know, but it's RED.
Ok so the RIAA sends me an IM. I reply with "You are to no longer contact me." and they send me another IM. Can I get the FBI to throw them in jail for Threat by Communication or some other Wire Fraud Act section?
Boy I thought things were bad when they took away your guns. Now they won't even let you play games or annoy the people in your address book with virus hoaxes. lol
I find it interesting that.NET and a lot of other companies are pushing the Internet Server Application concept. It's an effecient use of resources on a LAN, but over the internet it poses a bigger problem. If I had a dollar for every time I couldn't reach some server because CERF.net or some other backbone provider was having routing problems (probably due to incompetent administration) I'd be rich. Bottom line is that if I can't reach the server the app I need is on it does me no good and wastes even more of my valuable time than the all too frequent crashes of Microsoft's OS's.
Colonization of Mars? You can use all the old 'it's human nature to explore' sayings that you like, but when it comes down to it without this endevor producing profit corporations will never fund it. Not to mention that governments will never fund it without a way for that government to have control over the colony. It is my considered opinion that as humans and the nature of such beasts that we will not seriously consider doing anything with or to mars untill we have made this planet uninhabitable either through depletion of natural resources, polution or over population. And in that event it will be more like a mass exodus of refugees as opposed to a handful of colonists.

Enterprise Vault.
Yup I can see them adding that amendment to the USA PATRIOT Act before the Senate will renew it.
Doesn't Echelon already do this?
I think east coast is right. I know Joe Sixpack, and he does want it to wipe.
Will I be able to outsource a payload to the employer who outsourced my job, with this plan?

Now that message was to the point. You can almost hear James Earl Jones saying "This Account Has Been Suspended!" lol

The little roller blind PDAs from the movie Red Planet would do it for me.
Or maybe a book on tape.
Ok, analogies aside. The point is that the Sempron is a low end processor with limited application ability that the name belies.
Some times a Silver Yugo is still just a Silver Yugo.

Oh yeah, I forgot. KIM Chong-il is a big online gammer. I think he fragged me on the Rats map before.
