Uhm, sorry? The only cheap (sub-$100) cards around here are 9200s and 5200s. Well, basically the same 9000s that they were selling 2 years ago (and not much higher priced). I don't see cheap 9800s or 800s or even 9600xt's anywhere around.
I wonder why all those companies do that when I "register" for millionth time as Bard Simpson or Fugg Ovv from Angola. What does it gain(huh?) them except pissing off their visitors is behind me. Thank goodness for "Bug-Me-Not" FF plugin, though it does not work 100% of when I need it of course.
Of course there's nothing for _you_ to see there. It's a South East Wales galaxy, or that's what I understand from the link. So, unless you are Sou-East-Walesian (sp? wallian? walesianese?...) there's nothing for you, really.
Russia is not becoming fascist? Hmm, I'm lazy so here's what wikipedia defines as fascism:
* exalts nation and sometimes race above the individual,
(RU:Check, US:unsure, probably "check")
* uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition,
(RU:Check, US:unsure, not much evidence of violence)
* engages in severe economic and social regimentation.
(RU:Check; US:unsure)
* engages in corporatism,[1]
(RU:unsure; US:Check)
* implements or is a totalitarian regime.
(RU:Check; US:semi-check, law and democratic institutions, though not perfect, are clearly working better in US)
So, my fellow coutryman, do you still think that Russia is not becoming a fascist state? I personally can't help but feel that Russian sentiment is very close to those of Germany circa 1930.
Oh, and the other side is company named _Apple_ and the issue about the computer OS named _Tiger_ (not DrunkenTiger, though). And I heard that in early XXI century they will have a hugest hardball company named (da-dumm!) MicroSoft!!!
I decided to test it and went to MS's site. There is an amazing option now:
---- 8< ------- 8< ---- Validate Windows and obtain the download
Yes, please validate Windows and take me to the download. (If an ActiveX dialog box appears, please click Yes.)
No, do not validate Windows at this time, but take me to the download. ---- 8< ------- 8< ---- If I select the second option the download proceeds without verification. I suppose they will remove it later.
Makes me wonder, slashcode is open-source, right? BTW - it is used not only on slashdot. Anybody tried to fix it? I believe it should be not a big deal to do. Has anyone submitted a patch to OSTG? No, really?
Me, I couldn't care less, frankly - except for occasional mentioning of the issue here I don't care - I use "reduced" version of slashdot, no fancy formatting, no graphics. And I'm grateful for it!!;)
Uhhhm, yes, the _crackers_ that crack viruses deserve no respect. Uhhhm, yes, the crackers that expose mal/spyware deserve no respect. Yes, the crackers that crack commercial drivers to find out how hardware should be programmed deserve no respect. Etc, to infinity.
Must be because it's such a sweet target. Non-light-emiting (strictly reflective) ultra-high-res color display would be a very, very revolutionary thing. Much more so than a move from CRT to LCD. This and fusion as power source... Ahh...
What's up with you people! It's so childish. Two more mature ways: 1) Either you think that porn is not good and then you at least try to avoid it. 2) Or you think that porn is totally ok and then you have balls to admit it publically and not be silly about it.
Not quite. If I grab a free copy of RH I may _not_ call to RedHat for support even though the box (virtual box, ok) says "RedHat". So - unless you have a support contract bought from RH there is no support and hence the point does not stand.
Not too long ago MS "asked" everyone to remove the word "Windows" from all the product names. Like "Windows Commander" becoming "Total Commander" and similar. Great minds think alike, eh? Is it the natural way of things that when you become very rich and famous you are obliged to become an asshole?
I always wondered whether Red Hat has anything to do with "hatred".

Is it legal making 1 copy? 2? Giving it to a friends' friend? To campus mates? To Usenet mates? If I make an AVI copy from a legal DVD can I send it to a friend deleting it locally? Can he forward it in the same way? One of the problems is that the boundaries are vague and prosecution unreasonably harsh.

From what you said: "I told him he should take it down. He did not. I removed his hardware. Problem solved.".
From your sig: "Hacking your Xbox? Start here".
Do you realize that what you advertise in your sig is massively illegal and when collided with your message it produces a vast amount of irony? Be careful;)
No. They are just crap. And as I said - of those I download, not those I watch. But you do spin things pretty well, though. Have you considered a career in MPAA?

I'm sorry - you are saying that I cannot give a VHS or DVD I bought to my friend?! I mean - you would say that it only has been paid for once (by me) but watched twice. Also - you mean I can't invite my friends to me so that we watch a movie together? Wow, who knew... I've been a criminal all the way. Will MPAA pardon me if I submit myself and all my friends now? Please....

Better question: why frighten people (aka dumb slaves) with dirty bomb when ba-boom-thingy works much better?
Those who pay for slashdot? : )

Indeed, that's bizarre. Usually it should be marked as "Informative".
More like IE is urine and Firefox is Bud. Even though it's American beer and it could be better, the choice is... Well, there is no choice. : )

Not only, the thing would also work for making Dynabook-likes a practical option (if only we could turn back to saner ways on software design).
Hmm... I wonder how other countries will manage this problem... Oh, they probably use psychokinesis to transport their food, bastards!
Given enough money how is that impressive anymore? What's the best single-thread-performance machine today?
