Personally.. i think this is a SMART move for a company, to not enovke the DMCA.. as another posted stated there only available in select cities.. well im in Canada.. and i can tell you ill have one in my hot palm by Xmas, as im sure most of my buddies will.
dose ANYONE know where i can get an online version of "Life in Hell" the OTHER comic Matt Groneig makes? its in thoes weekly alternative presses.. but i moved and they dont have them here
ya know.. i think this is a brilliant idea.. now.. im all for Freedom and Privacy as primarys and security as a secondary
stay with me.. think about it..
1- its a humane not a computer, not a database that WILL remeber everything for ever, also better at not making mistakes due to "logic" 2- This officer see's 50 ppl a day.. yes its YOUR private info but really.. do you think he cares or will remeber it all? no he wants to get home 3- Military personel.. means hes prolly roated every year or so.. wont get bored, wont get complacent, 4- not a computer.. info cant be sold to marketers. 5- Chain of Command.. how many times has a stupid clerk said.. sorry sir.. the computer says its $99.. well the sign says $0.99 cents.. and the manager cant do shit cause the "computer says"
i think its great.. your incovenanced once.. but it sure beats a computer.

uhhh.. do what now?? what university are you going to.. every campus ive ever been in.. has at least two credit card booths handing out free stuff for a properlly filled out applicaiton..
true story: one day i was going to class had a midterm.. but no calulator.. so i just filled out the form.. got a cheapo $2 calculator.. 4-6 weeks later got yet ANOTHER card.. and just cut it up.
lol.. i d/led a C64 Emulator a few months ago when someone mentioned MULE, i still enjoyed playing it, but i didnt find it as challenging, knowing that i was beating a computer of ya kilohertz wasnt as much fun as beating a computer of so many gigahertz.
i have to pay for a single player version? i have to pay again fro the multiplayer version?
or i can just pay alot for a special all inclusive version???
this is garbage... this confusing to me.. let alone people out there in retail land who dont know this and just buy the first box they see.. man what kinda crap is this.. dose daryl mcbride work for valve now?
fuck.. its/. its not like any of this has an relivance on anything? are you new here? you expect a/. reader to RTFM or Google something? thats what shleps like you are for (thanx for telling me there in Canada BTW, why google when i have peons like you to answer my questions?)
what are you some global crossing employee.. calm down there buddy.. relax
p.s. im maxed out on my karma, i dont post for mod points, thats not the point of posting, the point is to encourage discussion and open a dialouge. its in the FAQ.. (id quote it but im to lazy.. why dont YOU read it and post it?) THANX
have a super day, its a weekend, have a drink, i think you could use one:)

do we put " "'s " around "terrorists" when a hellfire missle from a robot plane kills a Terrorist?
these cuban men got on a boat with armed weapons and wanted to take it to florida with other innocent people on it against there will. thats Hijacking, plane and simple in the USofA after 9/11 they would have been executed as well.. the only diffrence is that instead of a 3 day trial it would have been a 3 month media trial.

1 If american jobs go to foreign places to lower the costs.where foreign workers get paid less.
who is left to buy the product?
american workers are all out of work and foreign workers dont make enough to buy it.
2 i like the artical slashdot had from wired with the indian manager complaining how all HIS jobs where going to russia and the ukraine, cause they worked for less. in 20 years time that guy on the corner that will "work for food" ya.. he'll be doing tech support or customer service and getting his "pay" on a plate.
3 thank you fat cat *EO's selling out your country.
ever wonder why when you watch a sci-fi show, its always an american selling out the planet to the aliens? you dont see other ppl from other nations doing that?

back in 'tha day (pre retail version of CS)
sundays at 9:00 it would be very hard to find a CS game.. everyone would watch the simpsons
but on thoes nights where it was a repeat.. no prob... it was just one of thoes 'quaint' observations i noticed.
Ya.. right
because when longhorn is released in 2-3 years blogs wont be a fad anymore
whatEVER
at compaq where i did techsupport
the warrenty when you bought the computer stated we only supported the included software for 90days
well.. we didnt include newdotnet
and callcenter managment said it was a virus
we didnt support virus
well.. we did support them.. for $35
yup.. lot of cash flow back in the days
speaking as an adult whose childhood was a "base brat" this should have been modded insightful not funny *sigh*
