fine tune what the spam says to better play on one's gullibility
so, come early next year, i should have a medicine cabinet full of viagra, and a closet full of penis pumps? (disclaimer: i haven't been convinced as of yet why i require either.)
or, do they play better on how to not get marked 13.5 - Spam , by Spam Assassin...
It makes it silly to say "that's what Hitler did" as if somehow internal intelligence services were a unique feature of Nazism.
its simply a reference point -- maybe it should have been written more like: "there are a lot of governments that spied on its people, on excellent example is Hitler, and we all know how that turned out." hell, simply remove Hitler, and replace with any dictator - Stalin, Kruschev, Pol Pot...whatever. ofcourse the latter is what your point is...and now i dont remember what mine is...
selling us things we don't like but thats capiatalism you know.
uh - there are 300 million Americans. 50 million, aka 1/6 of all Americans basically said 'Fsck You' to people peddling their products in their private space. good enough reason to have a law....and generally when you have that kind of turnout - it will be made law quicker than you can turnaround.
and nobody gives a rats ass about the lost jobs- they are pointless jobs anyway. if no one had ever thought to do telemarketing, the jobs would never have been created in the first place. now they might have to find a real job - you know, like flippin burgers..
uh - i use linux servers, and a lot of them. mainly dual xeons.
but i look and look to see any benefit for IT people currently to move in that direction.
3D animation, sure - but are there 64 bit apps for it? or still 32bit apps? understandibly, i wouldn't give a rats ass if my mail was checking at 32bit, but, why would i spend the money if my 'money' app was still 32 bit aswell? so, in reality, if nothing has changed in the app to maximize the new cpu, why upgrade?
this is where i was coming from....
this is great but...

when will we see some serious APPS that utilize this technology?? why would joe user go buy one? to check their mail?
although not intended to be a troll, its looking that way.... if the OS, AND the Apps run 64bit - i'll buy one...till then, i'll stick with my original thunderbird, 1.4ghz.
If one takes a potentially more efficient and cheaper RISC system, and uses it to run GNU/Linux,
something just occured to me - ofcourse Linux is open standards - but what is stopping the Chinese from changing the source, not rereleasing it, then forcing out binaries to its public? (ie forcing everyone to use RedArmy Linux, or whatever its called...)
what are the ramifications of this? and if this isnt possible, why not?
Pathetic. iow, you are proposing those non-US countries do exactly what you are complaining the US (allegedly) did to those countries.
i am proposing that the UN enlist CHina, so that they don't have to deal with US cuts to 'their' program. They will make the agenda, because they will be in control.
In any case, what a novice. If the EU COULD stack the cards, they would have done so.
they are, you jackass. that is why they are enlisting China.
if the ISS is such a stranglehold over those nations, they can foot their own bill for their own station and modules
they already do - the only reason why Nasa has the stranglehold is the transportation to the ISS. (because it OWNS russia - they cannot afford to pay, and ofcourse, the aging fleet of space shuttles).
Personally, by the time the EU and China programs get in space in an economical and reliable fashion, I think the commercial and private space ventures will have slammed the door in their face, and this debate may very well be mute.
You must have been living in cage for the last few years -- or atleast living 'anonymously'. the Chinese already have developed manned flight, and are well on their way to Mars.
oh - and its MOOT. not mute. (a point is moot, if it ends up having no meaning)
that type their searches straight into the IE address bar
fun thing is -- if you launch explorer and start typing in the address bar - if the browsers homepage is MSN - it goes directly into the MS search engine box...
other nations have not gotten their modules finished or demanded cash from the US
generally this is horseshit -- aside from Russia. Basically, the problem is NASA- - they want full control of everything, deciding WHO goes where, and why. This type of control has reduced the manned ISS from 5 units to 3, cutting out many Europeans and Japanese astronauts and scientists.
So, if I were the EU - I'd stack the cards so shit like that didn't happen anymore. Atleast now, it will be done right, not simply done (because thats how it was dictated by the current administration/military because the money is better used on Bombing Iraq)...
BTW...anyone know what the state of our anti-sat weaponry capabilities are lately?
they're built, but they don't work.
( i wish i knew a link for this...but, the Military in the US is having this problem -- paid millions of dollars for technology that doesnt work -- just to pad a bunch of higher ups pockets...)
both parental posts are correct -- the only game i play is Enemy Territory on Linux. And I WOULD GLADLY PAY MONEY* TO PLAY GAMES ON LINUX. I have given up all ties to the Windows world on my home PC.

personally i wasnt aware that IBM had backed out on its deal with the IA64 and the OS to run on it....
i'd be pissed too...
probably not enough to sue for IP infringement, but maybe a flaming bag of shit on IBMs doorstep....

What we need to do is a global survey of what the Moon is made of
hmmmm....me thinks they are looking further than science here....exploration maybe? Will the European nations be the first to mine the moon?
One simple answer: ssh.
you've got that right...but how does one ssh to their phone?
this movie actually made me think for a change!
as opposed to usually 'not thinking'??

Sure buddy, blame it on the computer
i dont get it - he got it from playing tennis?
I gave them my underwear
too bad you weren't wearing your girlfriends underwear that day....

wait till they make the movie version...
don't forget your new, never-ending supply of pr0n.
both parental posts are correct -- the only game i play is Enemy Territory on Linux. And I WOULD GLADLY PAY MONEY* TO PLAY GAMES ON LINUX. I have given up all ties to the Windows world on my home PC.
and if I had my way at work, I'd do the same.
* this amount not to exceed 60$ Cdn.
I would have expected the relatives of the victims to sue Take-Two, but the relatives of the killers?
this makes perfect sense. the console wasn't doing its job babysitting the kids. therefore, the babysitting company HAS TO PAY.
speaking of who's involved in this lawsuit -- I thought RockStar GAmes was the maker? Or did they just produce/own the rights?
anyone know how this works??
mod this guy up -- even if it is AC -
this post is bleeding irony.
Wait... that means I paid money for the privilege of being one of the first to pay more money. Go me.
yeah, and you didn't even get First Post.
