I dual boot between Winows and Debian Linux. Recently I went through a massive hardware upgrade -- changing out motherboards (and any integrated hardware on it), CPU. Naturally, Windows throws a temper tantrum and has to be reinstalled (Linux just needs a kernel update to accomidate the new drivers). As anyone who dual-boots knows, installing Windows overwrites the master boot record, killing anything that Lilo had put there. To get it back, you need a Debian boot or rescue disk/disc to re-run Lilo.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a Debian disk/disc that will work! They all seem to hang when I try to load modules for my SCSI card (which is strange, because my SCSI device -- an Adaptec 29160 which is where my root drive is located -- has not changed). I finally had to grab a Suse CD image and use that.
Windows XP shat itself when I changed out sound cards (Linux didn't even need a kernel changeout), so it needs to be reinstalled again. I am not looking forward to this.
Scott Richter deserves to die. That is without question.
Personally, I saw put a slug into the back of his skull, and see if his "employees" (provided that he's not lying about that claim. Remember: spammers are liars) want to stick around and keep up the good work.
I often ignore story-based games for this reason: no time to finish the story. Zelda: The Wind Waker fell victim to this, Resident Evil, Prince of Persia...
Ironically, all three of these games are notoriously short. Resident Evil, for example, can be completed within a matter of hours.
Mutant X, the show where the wise leader of a group of young mutants with extraordinary powers fight crime and prejudice using their secret base and their freakin' black stealth jet plane that comes out from under a waterfall?
You're forgetting one important detail.
In X-Men, the mutants had useful mutant abilities. In Mutant X, the mutants had to deal with mutant abilities that were next to worthless. It was like "Mutant Academy" with all of the students at the level of Jubilee.
Our economy is in much better position then ever before.
Of course it is. You have all these rich businessmen dropping dead, leaving their money in your banks and not specifying any next of kin or leaving a will. I received two solicitations in a rwo for two different dead men's fortunes, each valued at $50,000,000!
(note: I'm pretty sure that the scammer in question, who claimed to work in a bank in South Africa, is actually in Nigeria. I have reasons for suspecting this beyond "all of them are in Nigeria". I'm just being silly here)
I think that one of the most disgusting images on the 'net can be found at that site.
(note: Image is safe for work. Contains no nudity or profanity. It merely contains a phrase that is utterly revolting and could cause nausea, vomiting and a desire to dig your eyeballs from your skull with a spoon if you understand the reference made in it).
High altitude doesn't effect the decay rate (other than minuscule relativistic effects related to being further outside the gravity well of planet Earth).
Maybe there's no scientific evidence of this, but W. F. Libby has the power of pseudoscience backing him up!
What an odd and totally irrelevant reply. I was just being silly, especially since Fairlight is just a games piracy group. Honestly, I think that the approach taken here was the right one: go after the groups initiating the software piracy -- the distribution group -- rather than play whack-a-mole with the file sharers spreading it around (wherein you cut off one distribution node amongst thousands, if not tens of thousands).
I'm trying to figure out why people didn't like the movie. I can understand some arguments for what they thought it did wrong, but others just don't hold water. Some were apparently upset that the move deviated too far from the games by not involving any characters from the game, but I saw that as a strength, as it had less worry of contradicting events in the game. Others might have found the setting (a giant underground secret research facility) to be totally unrealistic, but honestly that's pretty mundane considering the stretches of the imagination that the games have pulled (such as the architecture of the police station in RE2 -- who the hell would build a police station like that?!).
My only problems were the killing off of three characters in a single scene (really, no more than two needed to die there) and the fact that they only had to do one thing to unlock every door in the facility, rather than running around looking for four different keys, a collection of magnetic keycards and seven thousand switches to control different doors. And, of course, they were able to carry far more than eight items at a time.
...went back to 2.2.8a because for some reason it wasn't handling symbolic links properly. The drive containing the network share was running out of space, so I set up additional space on another drive and made a symlink to the location (yes, I used all lowercase letters in the symlink). Trying to access the directory with the 3.0.2a server resulted in a "Not a directory" error. It works properly in 2.2.8a, though.
If you present a baseless study, it's on you to support it.
Baseless study? Exactly what was wrong with it?
Spamming has tangible costs. It costs time in processing it. It costs for the storage space to hold it. It costs for the ISPs to come up for ways to keep it from getting to their customers lest they get lost of complaints and their customers leave. Waving your hands about and dismissing those real costs with "nuh-uh!" doesn't make them go away, it just makes you look stupid.
You may have the last word.
Typical. You're too much of a coward to bother defending your inane assertions.
...the programs in Tron looked like their programmers. Tron looked like Alan Bradley. Clu looked like Kevin Flynn. Yori presumably was written by Lora, and Ram was written by that guy who wanted popcorn. Chances are that his appearance was more of a reflection of his creator than his bloated nature.
(Yes, I did RTFA, and I know that he gave an explanation for being an overweight program)

What business do these people have, interfering in the fraudulent criminal acts facilitated through these fake banks?

Blocking unsolicited e-mail is also still totally legal.
As is sending complaints regarding UBE to the ISP of the spammer.
...if he had children, Scott Richter would whore them out to child pornography sites hosted on his network!
SCO's claims are demonstratably false. SpamCop's claims are demonstratably true.
And if you send him a proper unsubscribe request, he really will unsubscribe you.
From where, exactly, did you derive this bit of fiction?
Scott Richter is a spammer. Therefore, by definition, he is a liar, a theif, an idiot, and he deserves to die.

no, I'm not joking, I really want him dead

Was Goonies for NES ever released apart from in PlayChoice 10 machines? I never actually saw the cart for sale.
Also, I *liked* Goonies 2. Yes, it was silly and stupid, but it was mindless fun.
The models looked like Max Payne 1 era
That is an insult to the first Max Payne.
Isn't that the most logical spelling of the word that would be pronounced "XAML"?

Personally, I believe (though I realize it is just a theory) that God may be keeping researchers from being on the ark.
It's a theory?
What does it predict?
How can it be tested?
How can it be falsified?
(I can't resist).

Why would Sen. John McCain (R, Arizona) be able to block a bill in the New York State Senate?!

...my pirated copy of Spiderman 2.
If that goes in smb.conf under the entry for the share in question, then yes. That was the first thing that I checked, but no dice :\
