I'd honestly like to know either where you get your drives or what you're smoking that you can say a 300gb drive before rebates is typically $80... even pricewatch doesn't quote them that low.
I have sincere doubts about XPLite's "iexplore" removal actually removing iexplore. I use MiniXP by eXperience and opening an explorer window will allow me to browse websites with IE.
then again, I haven't used it, so I may give it a whirl this weekend.
frankly, as I understand it, if you have explorer.exe, you have iexplore.exe, period end of story.
strictly speaking, children (babies, fetuses, embryos) are not parasites.
also, social dependance (post-birth) is a separate issue from physical dependance (pre-birth) in that anyone can fulfil the social role, while only the mother can fulfil the physical role.
no offense, but you really need to do some more reading, and thinking, on the issue.
the DoD has at least three separate internets, one of which "hangs off of" the Internet, but can function wholly without it: NIPRNET (unclass), SIPRNET (classified, secret), JWICS (classified, top secret).
MPAA is going after the sites that offer tv torrents, and not the people downloading them(yet) a number of months ago, I had my cable internet suspended because I had a simpsons full season (season 7, I believe) going and my IP address was collected and reported.
they're not bringing civil cases (yet, that I know of) but they're not leaving us alone, either.
I would absolutely love to use this sort of technology for a water-cooled desktop
precisely what I was thinking. a large closed-loop system that possibly cools multiple boxen (the controlling box included) -- so that it regulates its own temperature as well as your gaming box, file server, game server, etc...
You've bought into the marketroids hook line and sinker [blah blah blah...]
Your tone is needlessly pretentious and inflamatory.
I've been building computers since it was a viable hobby; your assumption is unfounded.
I can even watch flash presentation with 56k Sure, and I can shower with a squirtgun. doesn't mean it's the best way to do it or the most efficient.
if you need more than a standard computer to surf the web and more than a 28.8 modem, your computer is in terrible shape.
I contest this by saying that if you can browse the internet with a 28.8 modem, your browsing habits are in terrible shape.
we have a word for people like you, it's "luddite".
we have a word for people like you, it's "luddite". you'll probably throw my statement about needless pretentiousness and inflamatoriness back in my face. before you do that, you should take into account the fact that i've already decided that you're a waste of oxygen.
Your situation is the exception, rather than the rule.
while I was stationed in japan, dial-up modem was the only internet access available on base. it was astoundingly slow; so bad that if I were doing something that the internet is good for nowadays (like, say, recieving 10-15 pictures that my parents sent from home), I could literally click the link (or the 'download attachments' button) and get up, make a sandwich, pick a couple CDs and pop them in the stereo, eat the sandwich, walk to the duty and BS for a few minutes, and come back just in time to have loaded them. God forbit that I want to send pictures home.
on the other hand, my parents are cheap -- they are using the same digital camera that they were using then, now; and the same emails (same number of pictures, same size per picture) take only a few seconds to download.
there are worlds of difference, even just in email. you don' thave to be filesharing to feel the benefits of broadband.
FWIW: the parent was satirizing the Netcraft confirms it "BSD is dying" troll. it WAS meant to be a joke.
on an unrelated note, power to the bikers. those on two wheels truly shall inherit the earth (after gas prices are too outrageous for anyone to drive on four wheels anymore).
If you haven't seen Akira, do yourself a favor and just sit on the couch watching your TV strobe for an hour and a half while alternately punching yourself in the face while yelling "TETSUO!!", and punching yourself in the groin while yelling "KENADA!!". it achieves the same effect.
Cowboy Bebop, on the other hand, is the most emotionally moving anime series I've ever seen.
Just for the record (I bought and loved Freelancer) -- Freelancer is basically Escape Velocity Nova (now available for windows!) with a 3d engine and with a shittier storyline/mission set.
Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.

rule #1 is: you do not talk about /b/.
Alaska?
If you think it's overcrowded here, then I'm going to have to call you a nut.
so you open a flap, to see the data on your mini screen, instead of opening the lid to see it on a big screen.
makes perfect sense.

and IERadicator is only for 9x boxen.
I'm another of those guys. the only effect the concept has had on me is a general distrust of prophylactics.

"In other words". not "anotherwords".
how the shit is this redundant, mods? It was the first non-troll post.
"Digital Versatile Disk" is actually a backronym.

well jeez, mr generalleoff. what do you expect from a pay site... quality?
PAH!
Alot of art is peer reviewed.
"A lot" is two words. You wouldn't say "alittle", would you?
brian greene's book is one of my favorite books of all time. i have a dog-eared copy in my book bag or car always.
I saw the first third of 24, and I proclaimed it the best TV I had seen in years.
I saw the second third of the same season and proclaimed it the shittest excuse for sutherland to wave his penis around that I had ever seen.
I guess, you win some/you lose some.

I think you misspelled "deceitful".
hear hear!

You don't need a car to go to work, either, but the standard method of transportation if you have to use the highway is a car.
Trying to use a modem to browse the web now is like trying to use a bicycle to commute to work on the highway.
