Every time I type Podcast in Yagoohoogle, I get a bunch of porn and ads.
Is it just a clever name to some mp3 radio show or something?

After my brief dabble in programming for Windows, it seemed to me that any functions worthwhile were only 'figured-out' and nondocumented by Microsoft. Maybe I'm biased, actually.. of course I am, but it seems pretty blatant that Microsoft doesn't adequately document the functions so that their crappy Windows software looks advantagious in comparison.
My engineering program at my school allows us to download free legit copies of Windows XP Pro for home use.. But it makes us call Microsoft for approval.
My laptop has a Windows XP key on a sticker on the bottom - but first, the key doesn't work with any copy except the Toshiba recovery CD that formats my computer and installs a bunch of Toshiba crap and AOL advertisements. And, then I would have to call Microsoft.
So, I'm being like totally a software pirate because I don't feel like talking on the phone to some douchebag at Microsoft.
I don't fvcking have issues communicating apples banana blue octopus! Different hands ordain opposite monkeys but fantasy microwaves and cell phone puppies. Seriously, fighting and screaming however, beer beer beer. Beer beer beer beer beer. Just remember this, beer.
with that kind of simple logic, I will assume you like PvE..
basically, you enjoy a 15 dollar a month fancy graphical suite where you get to run errands for computer characters all day while occasionally an actual social interaction with a real person results in death..
Every time there's a Slashdot article about bandwidth, I can't help but want to be the first with the Porn joke.. I mean.. who doesn't think 'Wow.. that's a lot of porn per second (pps) throughput!' when 100mbs bandwidth is going to be offered..
But, then every time I get moderated as troll by those that probby look at porn the most but put on the most professional Slashdot face.
For every single dupefix, three new dupes are created. Goodbye, WoW economy..
In Shadowbane, the dupes didn't quite kill the game like originally thought. Instead, they reinforced the idea that 'rare' items needn't be that rare for a good pvp game. Rare items usually just mean someone spent more time to get them - and better pvp'ers don't necessarily spend more time playing the game.. So in Shadowbane, if your guild is a good experienced guild, you can completely stock your guilds' characters and many alts with the best pvp gear. Then, it all comes down to organization, experience, and how well each character is built to win in pvp.
PVE is lame. Anyone who has pvp'd in any decent pvp mmorpg knows that. Maybe if Wow's economy gets totally fucked, I'll give it a try. But, hell if I'm gonna spend hours and hours to make a perfect character with decked-out gear that doesn't involve pvp./goes back to playing Shadowbane.
Ya troll.. but it really did make me laugh. Why oh why am I stuck with the sadistic sense of humor that only 3% of the population laughs hysterricly at while the other half thinks I'm psychotic.
I laugh at their attempts to try to be important. The UN is corrupt and it is Unconstitutional for the US government to give any sort of authority over the US to random leaders in small meaningless African countries.
As an AMD shareholder for the past five years (at a 60% loss so far), I had to deal with HP, Compaq, Gateway all deciding to sell no or fewer AMD processors... I also saw that laptop manufacturers refuse to build 'premium' laptops with AMD processors.
The people that really know computers know that AMD makes better valued processors. It's crazy that there is such a difference between the processor of choice in enthusiast PCs and the typical corporation.
It also annoys me that most corporations have 'Intel-only' clauses in their engineering standards and other specifications. Supposedly, this is being eliminated in the government, though.
Either way, I've long since sold my shares. I still want to see AMD's sweet revenge, though.
I think it's about time networks start to realize they need to have a 3-season investment, at least, in order to establish a larger viewership. All these reality TV shows score big on their first season and then never add up once the hype is gone.
Also, changing the time every week and having them be interrupted by the 'MJ verdict' doesn't do much for people trying to set up a schedule around the shows. Ya, people have Tivo.. but then again, the networks aren't targeting those people anyway.
-enters in some fake product key automatically -has numerous addins included for optional install -circumvents necessary phone call to Microsoft to ask permission to install -untraceable product key with thousands of users for excellent anonymity
Why don't we just take this to the next level and have us Slashdotters patrol the web like ants.. Any time there's a verified site doing crap like this, we all hack it, bring it down, track the people involved, torture them, kill them, donate their bodies to science, take their money, and donate it to open source-related initiatives?
And, we'll have it be anonymous.. so we'll see threads like 'Anonymous Cowerd +5 Informative: Ya, found the bastard and poured gasoline all over him and lit him on fire. He should be dead by now.'
I blame the elitist Gentoo-using cyberbullies that try and say Mandrake is noob linux. Then, you have new nerds trying out Gentoo and getting frustrated on the initial 6-hour install process.
I had my fun with Gentoo.. but I like to have an up and running system in 20 minutes. And, I DID install Gentoo completely - I was just forced to recompile my kernel 3 times until I finally got it right.
With how much spam there is now, there is no such thing as important email. Think of email like a postcard.. sometimes it just gets tossed before ever being looked at.
You are the kind of 'know-it-all' elitist nerd that gives the entire linux community a bad reputation.
Instead of encourging people switching from Windows and 'noob' linux distros so they may learn, you instead insult them and call them incompetent. Of course they're fucking incompetent when they just start.. Just like you were fucking incompetent the first time you touched a computer.

I'll check out the book.
For running games, if you really care about it, you can CTRL ALT DEL and close explorer.exe. Then, run the game from the 'run' menu in Task Manager.
You probby won't notice any speed difference.. But your penis will be larger.

"it's through an international forum where every member, no matter how small or large, should have equal voice."
So X from X'odia should have an equal voice with the US? I don't think so. Go read the US Constitution.
That's like saying Alaska should have the same amount of Representatives as California...
I laugh at their attempts to try to be important. The UN is corrupt and it is Unconstitutional for the US government to give any sort of authority over the US to random leaders in small meaningless African countries.
The UN is just trying to justify its existence.

The warezed version has more features:
-enters in some fake product key automatically
-has numerous addins included for optional install
-circumvents necessary phone call to Microsoft to ask permission to install
-untraceable product key with thousands of users for excellent anonymity
sad but true..

Articles like this make me look forward to the 1960's..
They were really advanced.. and we're lame - we just have Internets.
For anyone that hasn't see it, this is the film where the dude says, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory!"
YA.. bet you didn't know that.. so go rent the video now.
Office Space isn't on the list. Everyone involved in making that list deserves to die in a fire.
...a brand new set of legal case templates will be opened up to the money-grubbing lawyers. And, there will be more lawyers!!! YAY!!!
Cough.. I call shenanigans on parent thread.
