Why don't you use real guns instead? Players really die, and that just might add a whole new dimension to the game. After all, when your'e still playing laser tag, what it there to live for anyway.
Go back to you game of "Magic the Gathering" or EverCrack you dorks.
For home users: Fuck what they like. Scan with Adware and Spyware. Install Firefox. Remove all easily accessable icons for Internet Explorer and Set the default to firefox. Install Flash for them and put on the User Agent Switcher plugin and set it to Internet Explorer so no secure site whine about it not being a "modern browser"
Tell them that some sites may look a little fucked up (msnbc.com etc.) and leave them be.
It is an absolute fuckup that microsoft will not be updating IE separately. Sure XP SP2 will include an upgrade, but they really need to release a new one just to prevent the trash - then they can drop support for the old shit becuase most waterhead motherfuckers use IE.
I do believe that the anti-viruses should do this shit. I can't believe that Symantec hasn't bought Lavasoft. What a dream it would be to do a right-click on the company do a virus-sweep from symantec system center console and ALL the SHIT will be gone. Its a problem of a name. What makes spyware and adware differerent from a virus? What qualifies it as something different? Its a goddamn virus. If it removes functionality, causes problems with the machine, slows it down, makes it unuseable, crashes it before the desktop comes up, makes it reboot, sends information about you out on the net without your permission, breaks in without at least a click to initiate the install. A FUCKING VIRUS. Say it V I R U S..... So treat it like a fucking virus and start including the shit in my goddamn definition files alright. This is fucking bullshit, these software delevopers are sucking satans' cock just as much as the motherfuckers that made Sassar, Blaster, Slammer, etc.
The least I can ask for is that viruses, spyware, and adware start affecting Macs and Linux. Yeah, fuck you too, not everywhere is the utopian goodness of Unix-based shit. Businesses run on Windows for the most part. I've got one fucking mac on my network and its can't browse windows network shares since the user re-set the time, apple support says re-install. I wiped the only linux box we had becuase linux seems to change the location and/or the applicable config file for things per distribution.
I bet you actually thought people actually agreed on something right? Wrong, the CableCard is not a simple smartcard a la DirecTV. The CableCard "slot" is extactly that, a standard "slot" with a standard CableCard "bus". The card issued to you will be more like the PCI, AGP PCI-X etc. expansion cards we are used to in computers exept that these will be fatter and look more like a SBAWE32 with the daughtercard and all the addional Soundfont ram installed.
All that said, its still better than a set-top, but a long way from actually agreeing upon a standard so that the card was JUST A SMARTCARD with account info on it.
General HD opinion from an owner of 2 years that catches it via OTA and cable:
Clear and crisp until something fast happens or a quick pan or scene transition. MPEG-2 really shows its age with HD.
HD will hit is mark when things are changed to MPEG-4. and Cable and the networks start playing nice so Cable will carry ALL of the stations you can currently get OTA (Over the air).
Best combo: VOOM and OTA. Best part. the VOOM box has got the OTA tuner built in.
Plus ANAMORPHIC Dvds look great on HDTVs. Other dvds that are in widescreen but not mastered properly (not in anamorphic) look aweful when using a tv zoom function.
Maybe you have to talk to your girlfriend all the time in order to keep her from fucking someone else while you are away. OR, she likes the sound of your voice while shes got another man's dick in her.
Needless to say, if your have got to talk to your girlfriend every five minutes on the cell, kick that bitch to the curb.
How the hell else ya goin to keep ORDER when this shit hits the fan.
Nothing like turning an airplane into a fucking schoolbus. Talking on a cell-phone is not a requirement to live people.
I have never believed that the cell phone would take the plane down. I knew that it was half a billing issue with connecting to too many towers and half a lie of keep people off the damn things.
Heres to AIR RAGE. I see many a flight where people deplane in handcuffs. Lets just hope its a misdemeanor, becuase I'll be kicking some ass.
We at Apple wondered why it is called iLife when it is incomplete. There was no porn managing software. Now, iLife '05 adds iCum. iCum is a completely integrated porn management suite. Using the video functions of iCum, behind the scenes, a usenet reader autosenses attachments in posts, and presents them to the user by the preview.jpg. If this is unavailable, iCum downloads enough of the clip to show a frame 8 seconds into the video. Auto par,unrar, and hjsplit functions are included and transparent to the user. Quicktime integration for auto-codec retreval and auto-playlist generation for split video files. Integration with iDVD means that a simple drag of the preview jpg will burn a session onto DVD with the entire scene with chapter breaks where the file is split.
In still photo mode you can point iCum to picture-based groups, and by examining cross-posts with other groups, iCum can passover many spam posts showing the same pictures. Set it to scan and iCum will download all pictures in selected groups and store them in an ecrypted Filevault of a hidden user account. It will then allow for running iPhoto under that user via a password WITHOUT SWITCHING USERS.
A search mode will search all requested newsgroups and will save searches. The saved searches area allows for passive searching and PVR-like capabilities and downloading on P2P networks when the computer is idle. Walk up to your computer the next day and iCum will have a series of clips based on common downloads with your favorite stars. This utilizes iCum specific P2P plugins for the new Sherlock.
Integration with iMovie allows for video markers to be placed automatically in the clip an saves to.fukmov for use with your iVod portable movie players' new iJerk attachment powered by the iVod via firewire for hands-free jerking. Both male and female version have resevoirs available that hold 5 ounces of fluid so they may be used descretly in public without an immediate cleanup.
iCum integrates with iChat to allow for iJerk functionality via external controls included with the iJerk unit.
iLife 05 will be available 4th quarter 2004 and will retail for $69.69 and will bundled with iJerk.
iVod will be available 1st quarter 2005 and will be bundled with 5 ounce resevoirs for public iJerk use.
*Applecare protection plan not available for the iJerk. Apple Computer is not responsible for shock and burn damage caused by iJerk due to non-lubrication. Public use is illegal in all states except Nevada.
Well, this may be true if the FCC will force cable to carry all of the digital locals. Right now, in Norfolk, Cox only carries CBS and PBS, However, you take a UHF antenna and point it toward Driver, VA and you get every OTA digital HD feed no problem. Cable also currently does not use the 8VSB over cable standard that was agreed upon way back, they use QAM which is fine beacause now stuff is being made to receive QAM. Cox, however is offering the two locals it is offering in encrypted QAM (like the rest of the digitals) and I have read somewhere that this practice is flat-out illegal. I wish the cable industry the worst.
Well something has to be done. Yes cable has to buy in packages, however they never even pass that option to us. It not like I can say, give me the Viacom and Time Warner, no Disney, etc. (With cable at least, and who wants a 12ft dish in the backyard that has to rotated to recieve C-Band (how the cable companies recieve it, yes you can still get it this way)) You also have to have the full basic package to get HBO which is offered seperately*. Why can't I just say give me HBO, showtime, cinemax, starz and thats it, nothing more - screw the basic stations, if I am going to pay I will have no commercials or CENSORSHIP.
Only microsoft has the money to buy something like AOL, just to run it into the ground. I, for one, welcome it. AOL blurs the line between the net and so-called premium content. I can't tell you how many people think that AOL is the internet. Not to mention the AOL "client" being as good for the stability of your OS as unplugging the computer in the middle of converting your filesystem from FAT to NTFS.
Please microsoft, do this, and kill AOL once and for all.
P.S. Who wouldn't want to see the next IE with a Mozilla Core?
Come-on, really. You are a retard. You need that slip cover for the phones with a dildo end for vibration transference so you can actually fuck your phone.
Oh boo hoo hoo, the little kids went out and shot up some people. Gee, who can we blame.... Couldn't be the kids fault, after all they're just kids.... Someone must have brainwashed them.... Humans can't thing for themselves, at least thats what the good reverend says....
See how stupid that sounds. Maybe Take-two should make a game about killing your parents, then yoursleves. This should clean out the gene pool.
How about stopping the manufacture of phones with cameras. I would hate to a year from know when I am shelling out the cash for a phone with buletooth, 802.11 etc. also have to shell out for the additional overhead of the camera due to it then being "standard equipment". It is just plain bullshit. Lets focus on making the damn thing perform with the exact quality of a landline why don't we first and formost, and higher bitrate/lower latency data when using it with a laptop or PDA?
We could replace the idiots at fast food now. Have you ever watched the people at Taco Bell? They just manipulate big "squirt containers" of the different elements of the meal, then through it into a microwave. Any repetitive motion can be automated. We can do this tomorrow if we wanted, and with the help of the anti-bacterial beams that factories use before shipping out food out being put right before the food is delivered, and the absolute guarantee that the food has hit 160 degrees---We would not only get the food on time, and the order right, it would also be cooked properly (no fries taken out early-that shit pisses me off), and no one would get sick. Please, all fast food companies, contact the car companies now... Get their robot tech and apply it here. All robot workers, touch-screen menu, they take Credit/Debit if only cash is too hard (personally I don't want to wait for the idiots inserting cash into a machine in front of me). Open 24/7, you hire two or three guys--only one on staff at a time as maintenance people only.
So you say it lacks the personality of the mind-numbing half-ass conversation that passes as a business transaction in food service these days? Give people a damn video screen with pre-recorded real people talking to them (with Dr.Sbaitso AI, and no real speech recog, just three buttons underneath the screen with three possible answers.)
Now, what to do with the workers that used to work at the fast food. Create a ridiculous project subsidized by all of the fast food industry to say, build a bridge across the Atlantic. Pump it up on television in between reality shows to make the public believe that it is possible. This should kill off quite a few...and in fifty-one hundred years; we may have thrown enough people at it that we might have that bridge, or half of one. Then we tear it down, act like it fell, and start again.
Increasing technology in pre-natal examinations of intelligence and defects will determine the right time to abort for many more plus if we made mandatory abortion for people under 18, drug addicts, and people without a "pregnancy license" that should be required etc.
Also, change the school structure to more like Germany...They choose whether they get vocational training or college at around 6th grade. It is absolutely stupid that everyone in this country has a curriculum that is trying to gear him or her for college. People either drop out, or they go to one of those community colleges for a few years, and then give up. Vocational training early would give people real skills.
Removing "Hip-Hop Culture" from all media would help people in their understanding of how to speak English and also help people of all colors in our country to not be such pieces of shit.
These are real solutions. They seem extreme now, but what do you think will have to happen? Otherwise we are fucked, and the space program has done nothing to find and build alternate places to live when this ball of dirt fills up. We are currently fucking up evolution by protecting the weak, unqualified.
At my company we currently use 9 of the Verizon Wireless Aircard 555 cards to get onto their 3G(2.5G) 1x Express Network.
Coverage is patchy, but decent. Large external antennas are not readily available, so custom antennas are used tuned by a local antenna company. Modifications to the cantenna design used sometimes with 802.11 also work, but of course they are highly directional. Signal strength really only has to do with your likelyhood of getting knocked off, not with your throughput.
Throughput on average is comparable to a 56k dial-up w/o the use of their propiatary Venturi Compression software which is not compatible with our application. Latency is pretty bad and sort of kicks our database snyc app in the balls as far as speed goes. SSL is also a bit problematic, but it hasn't kicked me off yet until after bank transactions preformed completed(sometimes knocks you off when disengaging an SSL session).
The main software(sans Venturi), works pretty well, and the new update allows XP to recognize the network connection better once initiated.
Updating your Preferred Roaming List is a must. The preferred roaming list is the list of valid cell towers that the card can use. (its *22890 from the voice tab in watcher, have no idea what sprint's is.)
Internet Printing to main office printers can be very slow, for example just a test page takes 2 minutes before the destination server gets it all and tells the printer to start printing.
Here's the biggest tip I can give you, when you get the card, throw away the disk that comes with it. Jump on the web and grab the newest software/driver then burn it/throw it on a pen drive, whatever you got to do. You will thank yourself for not being lazy and just using the pack-in-disk for now and upgrading later. (Especially on your XP clients!)
Pretty nice to be able to do these things, but for $99/mo unlimited, I would at this time expect more bandwidth. But, I do think we are lucky. In an era where they think we want to A, Take Pictures??? with our phone, B, Instant Message with a phone keypad?!??, C, Run our batteries down with games when the battery doesn't last very long anyway?!?! -- They actually have something out that is useful. I would like to see true 3G happen tommarow still, but you know I guess maybe at this point you would think that any phone you buy would have bluetooth, and you would be wrong. I still haven't seen a phone that is better than my StarTac.
Not if you get only the channels that 1. Don't show commercials. 2. Don't have anything to do with religion. 3. Are not censored. 4. Report the news objectively. 5. Actually show the content suggested in their title(MTV needs to rename itself to The "You're better off watching the barrel of a shotgun go off in your face because you are fucking pathetic" Network) 6. Let me know when faggot shit will be on so I can avoid flipping channels anywhere near that station(I swear, Showtime will never get my money ever again as long as I live for that shit they pull with that goddamn Queer show). Heres an idea, why don't they include blocking faggot shit with the V-Chip, or can those settings get that granular?.
I cancelled cable because it is fucking stupid. I highly recommend living life as oppossed to watching other people live it.
I hope they all just go away. Then maybe people will wake up and start new movie companies, this time with talented people. I just love how they like to try and place the blame elsewhere when they are the ones producing shitty content which people are increasingly having no respect for.
XM has more channels for less money. More coverage area(for now). Better programming. While Sirius just hits you with stuff you would find as "Music Choice" on Digital Cable or Satelite Television(Generic Crap, essentually whats on FM and MTV only Uncensored), XM gives you diverse programming, with real DJs that play what they want to play and don't care what people think.
Get this---you can actually find NEW music that is cool, whatever your taste, not just a bunch of repackaged, over-hyped, overpaid, corporate, no-talent "so-called" artists that are all over MTV1, MTV2, VH1 and FM today. Of course, if you like that crap, its there too(on seperate channels so you can avoid it).
About commercials, most of the channels don't have them, and if they do, they're not the 30 sec. to 5 min spots we've all grown to hate from everywhere else. 10 sec. max between a boatload of songs. All of the channels I listen to don't have commercials.
Plus, its 5 bucks cheaper a month than Sirius, the frequency it uses is farther away from the 2.4Ghz band that 802.11d uses than Sirius(Less chance of possible interference), and for all you Kenwood owners, there is an adapter to be able to use an XM reciever through your input for Sirius radio, XM also listens to customer feedback.
Just don't get your XM installed at GOHO Auto Audio, or anything there for that matter.

Anyone know where to grab it, their site only has the source, and its tweaked for *nix.
Well shit, it looks like I can configure it to do that, doesn't look as thurough as ad-aware but at least its something.
Fuck yeah! (William Zabka yell - mean kid from Karate Kid, Rad, Just one of the guys - the premere asshole from the 80's)
Yes, migrated to it last Sunday. Oh well, maybe next time.

Pretty nice to be able to do these things, but for $99/mo unlimited, I would at this time expect more bandwidth. But, I do think we are lucky. In an era where they think we want to A, Take Pictures??? with our phone, B, Instant Message with a phone keypad?!??, C, Run our batteries down with games when the battery doesn't last very long anyway?!?! -- They actually have something out that is useful. I would like to see true 3G happen tommarow still, but you know I guess maybe at this point you would think that any phone you buy would have bluetooth, and you would be wrong. I still haven't seen a phone that is better than my StarTac.
Not if you get only the channels that
1. Don't show commercials.
2. Don't have anything to do with religion.
3. Are not censored.
4. Report the news objectively.
5. Actually show the content suggested in their title(MTV needs to rename itself to The "You're better off watching the barrel of a shotgun go off in your face because you are fucking pathetic" Network)
6. Let me know when faggot shit will be on so I can avoid flipping channels anywhere near that station(I swear, Showtime will never get my money ever again as long as I live for that shit they pull with that goddamn Queer show). Heres an idea, why don't they include blocking faggot shit with the V-Chip, or can those settings get that granular?.
I cancelled cable because it is fucking stupid. I highly recommend living life as oppossed to watching other people live it.
It stands for Secondary Audio Programming, and it is in mono(so it is WORTHLESS).
I hope they all just go away. Then maybe people will wake up and start new movie companies, this time with talented people. I just love how they like to try and place the blame elsewhere when they are the ones producing shitty content which people are increasingly having no respect for.
XM has more channels for less money. More coverage area(for now). Better programming. While Sirius just hits you with stuff you would find as "Music Choice" on Digital Cable or Satelite Television(Generic Crap, essentually whats on FM and MTV only Uncensored), XM gives you diverse programming, with real DJs that play what they want to play and don't care what people think.
Get this---you can actually find NEW music that is cool, whatever your taste, not just a bunch of repackaged, over-hyped, overpaid, corporate, no-talent "so-called" artists that are all over MTV1, MTV2, VH1 and FM today. Of course, if you like that crap, its there too(on seperate channels so you can avoid it).
About commercials, most of the channels don't have them, and if they do, they're not the 30 sec. to 5 min spots we've all grown to hate from everywhere else. 10 sec. max between a boatload of songs. All of the channels I listen to don't have commercials.
Plus, its 5 bucks cheaper a month than Sirius, the frequency it uses is farther away from the 2.4Ghz band that 802.11d uses than Sirius(Less chance of possible interference), and for all you Kenwood owners, there is an adapter to be able to use an XM reciever through your input for Sirius radio, XM also listens to customer feedback.
Just don't get your XM installed at GOHO Auto Audio, or anything there for that matter.
