You still buy cd's even after all this crap? I've stopped buying cd's because of all this crap and sure their might be a few cd's out there I would want but I don't want to give these people my money.
I think I might know where the not talking to strangers and always being on the move comes from. Have you ever walked around Boston in january when its 2 degrees and the wind is blowing 20 mph? No way are you going to stop and have a nice friendly chat. Its put your head down and rush to where ever you were headed. Then that mentalilty just kinda sticks around a little when it warms up.
Well I suppose that is better than a bmp but I prefer jpgs or something like that and its just as easy. Simply run mspaint paste and save as and choose jpg.
Another reason for me to continue my non cd buying spree! Coming up on year two or two and a half. I don't even bother looking at cd's in stores any more out of disgust. Money that before went towards say a new cd or two is now spent on video games. Maybe in 5 years or so I will buy another cd but until then screw em.
They didn't create Unix to SELL it, they created Unix to USE it. Which is the CARDINAL difference between Unix and Windows... Unix was created to WORK, Windows was created to SELL.
The exact thooughts I had just a few days ago. Like I always say, any real work I do is done on Unix/Linux.
" Many aquatic animals do not sleep in the same way that we do. Dolphins have the ability to shut off parts of their brain when they're not using them, although for what reason I'm not entirely sure."
So they can hide their plans for world domination from our brain scanners! You never see dolphins wearing tinfoil hats.
We will be implementing Jabber at the lab I work at. Here is why. Its cheaper than anything else and its secure with ssl. A linux box running the server and you are good to go. Our test box was an old p2 box and it worked fine.
I totally agree with this statement. I know some smart people that went to dinky no name state colleges. I know some really smart people who go to my school and I don't consider it that great. The folks at MIT aren't all super smart. What I've seen is that it really doesn't matter which college you go to its all about what you get out of it.
A few bands on their I like. I really enjoyed the White Stripes album and I don't think their label is part of the RIAA, at least last I checked, so it is safe to buy.
As I am about to finish a cs/math degree I'm thinking I should have gone for engineering. I've was interested in program years before I went to college and I kind of feel jipped(sp?) by all those people who jumped on the bandwagon. Well there is always graduate school.
Seen it... You can watch anything on your main tivo from... another tivo. Thats the series 2 and from what I've read they aren't as hackable as the first ones.
Tivo is certainly easier and cheaper if you would have to buy new hardware. However its missing one feature that is keeping me from buying it. From what I've seen there is no way to have a tivo on your home and lan have other computers on that network access it. This would be a great feature especially at my apartment where we can only get cable in one room. If anyone knows a cheap and easy solution I'm all ears.
step 1: buy something that displays the temperature step 2: buy a webcam step 3: place the temperature display in a well lit area and point the webcam at it.
Afghanistan as a nation never attacked us. Granted there were reports of training camps in Afghanistan. I am glad that we removed the Taliban rulers in Afghanistan, they were bad but never aggressive towards us. Iraq did fire upon the "peace keepers" in the no fly zones. Usually these "peace keepers" were bombing Iraq so I use the quotes. Iraq as a nation never attacked us. Another bad government that should have been removed years ago that we removed. Glad Saddam is gone but that leaves the entire region unstable. Iraq was a major stablizing forde in the mid-east becuase of their strength. With a stable region it makes it easier to get oil which is most likely why we supported Saddam in the 80's. Now what about all the crap about "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq? Even I without any of the CIA intelligence could figure out that they didn't have much and were getting desperate to show they didn't. Everyone was all worried about Iraq while North Korea who admitted to having nukes was threatening us. I hope you don't rely on Fox News as your only news source. Any one who relies on only one news source is not informed. And Fox News deffinately leans to the right. CNN looks centrist compared to Fox News.
If you just forget about the CnC story line then Red Alert 2 and Yuri's revenge are pretty good. I enjoyed CnC and Red Alert but I found Tiberian Sun was not as much fun as the first CnC. Generals is pretty fun and you might find it a worthy buy.

I totally have to agree with you there. I so dislike it when someone sends me a screen shot in a Word doc. Just send me an image file please.

Actually our State government tends to be republican but for national elections its always democrat.
Why are people still buying CDs from the likes of the BPI and the RIAA?

It would amuse me to no end if Linus called and asked that question.

Ahh... I love the MIT flea. Where else (besides ebay) can you pick up gobs and strange electronic stuff.
with rcn we were paying for 3000/800 and getting 5000/800... according to them anyway
Move everything closer to an outlet. You'll have to choose which one though and I can't help you there. I will suggest the one on the left though.

Why just a while ago www.riaa.org was hosting illegal mp3s. Why any good citizen should have called that in immediately!
