I hope you're not surprised. This is what we do now. We were born, and by god, somebody better hand us a big fat paycheck, not expect us to work very hard for it, and to forgive us for racking up six figures of debt on our credit cards.
Am I the only one who noticed he violated the Ebay rules by completing the transaction outside of Ebay?
It's known as "Fee Avoidance".
Strangely, every time I have sold a Mac, I've gotten several emails the next day asking me to sell it outside of Ebay... but never with any other products.
1. In 1996, the most comprehensive "gun control" study of all time was published by John Lott of the University of Chicago Law School. Fifteen years of FBI files from all 3,054 counties in our country were analyzed regarding the correlation between the occurrence of violent crime and the prevalence of concealed weapons on law-abiding citizens. Invariably, where responsible, law-abiding citizens were allowed to carry firearms, the rate of violent crime plummeted. The criminals were afraid to attack those who "might" be armed.
2. Professor Gary Kleck is a life long (self-avowed) liberal democrat, author of Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America. He had expected the research involved in that writing to infer negatively on gun ownership. He discovered a vast amount of violent crimes were prevented by firearms usage. Even though this was contrary to his original premise, he had the integrity to stand by his research. Although that book was awarded the best book (of 1993) on criminology by the American Society of Criminology it was largely ignored by gun control advocates such as most medical journals and our Government's Justice Department and Center for Disease Control.
I strongly suggest you visit the Portola Railroad Museum (http://www.oz.net/~samh/frrs/) where you can not only get in, but learn to OPERATE a locomotive for an hour for $100. It's DAMN FUN.:)
Yes, you're rational. That's rather abnormal today.
It's akin to the losers you see with $600 rice burner cars with $20,000 worth of stereo, ground effects, lighting, and huge exhaust tips to make them sound like they have an engine... well, a lawn mower engine with a megaphone, but...
Just because you were slumming doesn't mean the 486 wasn't "King". Geos are popular, I don't think many people refer to them as the "King" of the automobile.
I was just a kid, and I somehow managed to afford a 486/33 in 1990 without parental contribution, so I'm not sure what your problem was.
I agree completely, but give me a break. The Democrats would've tripped all over themselves trying to implement this too, and the Republicans then would've made some fake gestures at not liking it.
The only things the Democrats protested against was protecting vaccine manufacturers from being sued, because the trial lawyers donate millions to the democrats every year.
There is no significant difference between democrats and republicans anymore, if there ever was.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." - Ayn Rand
It has nothing to do with CRTs vs. LCDs - it's about people sitting on their ass too long. Could you perhaps try reading the article next time, timothy?
>What will you do when your $100K/yr job is gone and the only things around are $30K work at Frys?
Then I'll work for $30k/yr at Fry's or find a different means of employment.
However,what I won't do is use extortion to milk $100k a year that I don't deserve out of a company because my skills aren't worth it in the market anymore. I have ethics. Maybe you should get some?
No, when I find myself paying $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline, I'll know it's because the Local Petroleum Processors 437 went on strike and demanded $50 an hour for even the guy that cleans out the port-a-john.
You also didn't read what he said. He didn't say the RIAA was free market, he was making a comparison that NEITHER were free market.
Nothing like a knee jerk reaction from a meidocre union thug.

After all, you voted these jackasses in when you voted for a demopublican or a republicrat.
I guess a few of you voted Libertarian, and thus can't be blamed, but the rest of you made your bed - now lie in it.
The real problem to married couples with children isn't salaries, it's taxes.
Nowadays, the tax rate is so oppressive one person has to work just to pay the tax burden.
And yet, like the sheep that we are, we will continue voting for republicrats or demopublicans that'll just keep sticking it to us.
I hope you're not surprised. This is what we do now. We were born, and by god, somebody better hand us a big fat paycheck, not expect us to work very hard for it, and to forgive us for racking up six figures of debt on our credit cards.
WE DESERVE IT!
Buy a Cisco Local Director on Ebay. Buy two, they're cheap.
Spend 15 minutes setting it up.
Sleep well at night.

Your server sure is slow, but thank god the 17 popup and popunder ads you served off of ONE page came up fast.
Talk about whoring.
I'm pretty sure that we'll end up with de-facto gun registration as a result of this. After all, ALL purchases will be tracked.
Time to buy a few cases of ammunition, some Islam books, and some head-sized towels!

Those were pretty damn old in 1990, when the 486/33 was king. =)
Wowee. This has been available for years, the only difference is this uses satellite and costs a hell of a lot more. :)

That's nice. What the hell does that have to do with his specific scenario of two striped IDE drives?
It's not arguable, unless you use non-sequitor arguments, as you just did.
Just don't forget you also got yourself (at best) half the reliability. :)
... that keeps probing my servers!!
That's simply flawed logic. OS X supports older systems just fine. You're running it, aren't you?
You're bitching that newer hardware is faster than older hardware. WTF?
It's not a driver issue, it's a video acceleration issue. 10.2 ran just fine on my G4 400, it just didn't get as much of a boost as it could have.
