Well... I consider no PvP to be a plus. Locked encounters likewise discourage idiots from interfering with my gameplay.
I'm going to give it a shot, thought I swore not to a couple years ago when I quit EQ1. Won't touch WoW though. Blizzard is completely unforgivable... Also, I really don't dig the whole Warcraft "world". Never got into the atmospere in the RTS games, didn't really like the "flavor" that I got from watching one of my buddies in the beta play. Yes it's consistent, but it's too "cartoony" for my taste in a fantasy game...
In my case, I don't own a cell phone. I simply don't make enough/get enough calls when I'm away from home/office to warrant it. Vonage is cheap, and it even works with my old 2020 series ReplayTV's analog modem. I'm not in a position to buy a new PVR w/ ethernet, and I haven't taken the time to get MythTV running (all my tuner cards are complete crap). The ability to take the box anywhere broadband is connected and recieve/make calls from there (say if I'm at the beach for the weekend) on my own phone number is a bonus.
My property is 2 acres. If I find you looking in my windows, you're trespassing, and I'll blow your fucking head off. Then I'll feed your remains to my neighbor's pigs.
Fuck if I know. Where is the option to turn OFF the Politics category? I'm really not interested in this crap. Well, guess I'll just have to turn off Michael's submissions. He seems to be the most egregious offender.
Seriously, I have no desire to read propeganda from either side.
Fortunately, Microsoft doesn't manufacture my VoIP terminal.
As someone said the last time this came up, sometimes proprietary VoIP solutions are a GOOD thing. Spammer cracks the proprietary protocol, spammer gets sued into the stone age for violating various and sundry laws.
Sometimes, the thought of federal agents busting down a door, beating people down with rifle butts and confiscating everything more technically advanced than a lead pencil is a happy thought.
And yes it is OK with me to apply different standards for those I detest than those I care for. I'm an Objectivist. Deal.
Why the fuck doesn't checking the exclude box on the "politics" category in the main page config for my account block these stories? I have no fucking interest in reading propeganda from either side of the arguement.
I've just been through the same two hurricanes, and I have another breathing down my neck. The company I work for not only bends over backwards to make sure it's employees are safe, our particular department's VP has taken pains to make sure that those of us without power are made comfortable, buy making sure that we have access to air conditioned hotel rooms at the company's expense.
Not all large corporations are faceless soul-rending autocracies. Yea our stock price might be in the toilet, and the company at large might not care, but the people that I work for directly care about the people that work for them.
how you connect this to the fact that the french are the laziest pieces of shit in Europe, I have no idea. Ingrateful, lothesome, delusional, meritless waste would be a good word for the french. THey want to drag the rest of Europe down to their level. Otherwise they would be forced to match the level of industry exemplified by the Germans, the Italians, the English, and the Spaniards.
God forbid that happen to the race that considers multilingual signs to be an insult to their culture.
Fact of the matter is, it would be difficult to use words harsh enough to actually constitute an insult to the french.
Oh, by all means you clever moderation abusers, mod me down, get your buddies to mod me "underratted" and mod me down again. I have more karma than you can possibly strip, and you'll only bring yourself to the attention of the slashdot illuminatti, who will happily strip you of any moderation ability whatsoever. so bring it the fuck on, french appologists.
Interesting. I'm using smoothwall as well for my firewall, and I've not yet had that problem. (also a Vonage customer). Only time I've lost service so far is when Hurricane Charley was rolling through town, and my cable headend lost power for about 5 minutes (same time I did, but the phone, router and vonage box are on battery).
(was going to ask what you're smoothie is running on, but saw below you listed specs already)
I can't see a single reason why they would want to do business in France at this point, personally. Despite their posturing, France ceased to be relevant when they surrendered to Germany in WWII. The disintigration of their colonial posessions later in the 20th century was a foregone conclusion at that point, and inevitable. THe fact that the US bore as much of the burden for that disintigration indicates a faith the US had in France that has clearly not been borne out in later events.
France won't even clean up it's own mess in Africa. They want the US to do it.
...because of the rhetoric they were fed by their governments, which had an economic interest in ignoring the UN resolution dictating the terms of Hussein's surrender. The same governments that were profiting from the TRUELY ethically wrong deals that they had been making for 10 years.
EU might be a big market. France certainly isn't. If I was running google, I'd say Fuck France at this point. If the EU wants to bow out to stick up for the cowardly French then fine. I somehow doubt it though.
If France is so all-powered anti-Nazi, you think they would have some inkling of what was at stake in allowing Hussein to ignore the terms of his surrender for the first Gulf War. After all, they were the victims of other nations overlooking Germany's transgressions in the Sudetenland, etc.
Of course with their large Islamic immigrant population, that would be politically inconvientent for the current French government.
Forgive me if I fail to give a shit what the French goverment considers acceptable.
And how exactly do you think 4 years of the "part-most-firmly-in-the-pocket-of-Hollywood" (Dems) would be different in this regard? If anything, I would expect them to be even MORE interested in protecting the interests of the MPAA.
This is one issue where without groups like the EFF, we would be screwed no matter WHO was in office. Kerry's not our friend here anymore than Bush is.
Agreed. That describes my experience with ReiserFS twice (both times I used it). I've never had that kind of corruption with Ext3. I've lost some data, rarely, but I've never had an issue with eventually repairing the FS.
When I have an FS to repair, and the provided tools segfault when presented with the job before them, a warning flag does tend to go up:/
The log book thing is how Arbitron handled it when I was selected about 10 years ago. Too bad they're using that kind of hardware now at Nielsen, I can only assume Arbitron is too. My answer today would have to be "fuck off".
Lets see... just for this application, through putting the version in it's own field, in the same field as the application name, and misspelling it a couple different ways, (and varying the version unnecessarilly) they've managed to list two seperate versions of the application (8.6.1 and 9.1) and somehow come up with 6 seperate entries... I think the list is shorter than y'all think...
I agree. Swift and brutal justice is the way to discourage this crap. Destroy him permanently and prohibit him from operating anything more technically advanced than a lead pencil for the rest of his life. That will scare 99.9% of script kiddies from doing that crap... "oh N03s! they weel take my toies"....and hopefully shoot el script kiddeo in the head.
those people we do not need on this planet.
Tree-hugging, save the wayward children "he's just exploring the world" hippies, don't bother replying, I'll just delete the notification without reading it. I don't care that you don't respect property rights. I know already, that's part of what makes you hippies, and wrong. If he tries to expore my apartment without my permission, he gets shot in the face as a potentially armed intruder. He should get the same for criminal electronic trespass or vandalism.
What cars are you buying that regularly come with BOOST temperature and exhaust temp guages? engine temp maybe. Engine speed probably (in RPMS) but the other two? Even my Corvette C5 didn't have that before I traded it in...
As someone who works for a major software publisher, that's the way we now refer to SCO Unix, except we're not so kind as to use the word "hype". Tripe would be closer...
The market that SCO Unix represents ceased to be worth the R&D to support about a year before Darl and his cronies started throwing their tantrum. It's far cheaper to hire sales engineers to migrate the customer to a platform with a future (such as Linux or Solaris) than to put the effort into supporting an OS distribution with such a restrictive list of supported hardware (in comparison to even SOlaris/Intel), that is so much of a pain to track down (in comparison to Solaris/Sparc).
I'm sure they've added AGP support to SCO by now, but I'm likewise sure it's a seperate, per-seat license, and problably $250 or so a seat at that. That's typical of them, going back to the Xenix days (when I used to work for a re-seller).

Yea, the 51% who won really care that they alienated YOU, the sore loser who thinks "be free and welcome everyone" means to do thing HIS way.
Good riddance to you.
I'll be fishing and breathing fire (possibly due to drinking)

True, but when your organization is already standardized on Exchange, it's nice to be able to talk to the corporate email system ;)

You've just inadvertantly suggested a huge market in "aftermarket hydraulics" for these things.

Whups looks like you already answered my question...
mine is on a PPro 200, 64 MB ram, and I think a 20 gig HD.
I'd have to say the HD would be your problem. You're certainly not running out of main memory (you have about 5 times what I've got in my smoothie).
Wow. Les Claypool and his buddies sure are branching out...
