With a real weapon you DON'T have total control over what you are doing. With a mouse, it is easy to keep it in one spot. You simply don't touch it. But if you use a rifle, or worse, a bow in real life you'll find it rather hard to keep on your target. Your body and hands will just naturally move. It takes a lot of practice to get over that. The "ShakkyHands" system is simply an in game representation of that effect. The better you are (skill point wise), the less you shake. Just like in real life.
Phoenix doesn't want to sell the traditional BIOS anymore? Well, they have competitors so I'll just be buying motherboards with a traditional BIOS. And if there is a large market of people who do the same, the motherboard manufacturers will not bother buying products from Phoenix to build their motherboards. Ain't capitalism grand?
Getting off topic here but in the USA you can get paid for blood. We do not pay for blood we give to patients. However, companies can and do buy blood for research purposes.
Maybe it is BECAUSE their beer sucks that they are smart? Either alcohol is making the rest of us dumb or they are drinking secret Canadian brain beer.
Why not have the specialist take other calls? Just a regular employee with special knowledge or training. As for smaller ISPs, they often out-source tech support toa larger company.
The carrying capacity of the Earth changes with technology. However, I remeber a few years back reading that based on the technology then the world could support 25 billion people. Anybody who says we are going to run out of room in the US needs to leave the city for a weekend and go for a long drive.
I'd like to add two things. One: Not all of the text books are decided on in Texas. "Left" states will go with whatever committees in California decided. Two: Text books are (generally speaking) no longer written by people knowledgable in the subject field. They are written by professional writers. It is the same thing that makes many technical books so bad. So all in all you get the most politically correct ("left" or "right" versions) stuff written by the people who don't know much of anything about what they write.
Most human advancements are like that. There would be no writing, research, or art if we were all too busy foraging for berries and fishing. If you take away all these "fat slob" producing advancements you no longer have civilization.
Last time I checked you couldn't connect to your ATA hard drive from multiple sources without software. It is a similiar idea to the printers that you can just hook up a CAT5 to and any computer on the network with SAMBA can use it. Just have a cabinet that is basically a big RAID array and hook up a cable to the ethernet port and there you go.
Adelphia's filtering has gotten way out of hand in my area. So much so that I don't believe it warrants $40 plus basic cable to continue subscribing. On the plus side, Sprint will be here Wednesday to hook up DSL. I love voting with my dollar.
The announcement is a step toward the development of standards and cross-carrier roaming capabilities for Canadian Wi-Fi users and wankers like michael
Good to see the moderators are reading these posts first!
Pif files are shortcuts to DOS executables as opposed to the Lnk files used for shortcuts to Win32 executables in Windows. The only instance you would ever recieve one is if somebody wanted to send you the tweaked settings to get a certain DOS program to work. Pif files have a bunch of settings such as what memory manager Windows should fake and what quantity of memory that. It can also change the look of the terminal the program runs in and disable shortcut keys and screensavers while the program is running. So.... When do I get my free beer? Oh, any of your users? Rats.
If you REALLY need bleeding edge, run Unstable. It isn't as unstable as it sounds heh. It is good for a box to play around with. Testing would be more suited for a reliable desktop. Stable is rock solid. Stable is what you run on the server. My dual-PII has been up almost two months now and two months ago was the last extended power outage.

Most Americans are mediocre? Shocking! Next you'll say that all people are mediocre! We can only hope you do not go as far as drawing a bell curve!

Yeah. I fought Adelphia. I fought them by signing up for Sprint DSL.
What kind of geeks are you people? These are not valid strings! You forgot a terminating NULL (00)!
A cow produces meat. It is made entirely of meat. Easy task. Do I get paid for this one?

You just wait till overfiend (manager of the X packages) checks to see if you are on your toes and has the package overwrite your XConfig. Muhahaha!
I imagined a Beowulf cluster of these. The doctors say I will never recover my night vision.
Not going to the movies is a lot easier than not paying taxes. Those IRS guys can be scary.

Does he need a Perl programmer/Historian?

Internet radio is 128Kb (16KB). 16*60*24*7*4.3=3870720KB. Less than 4GB. Even if you listened non-stop for a month you would not hit the 5GB cap.

Often not having filtering makes schools and libraries inelligible for some federal and state funding. Filtering is in effect profitable.
