And as much as ignorant buffoons hate to hear it, there's an undeniable resemblence between any given version of Windows and a previously released version of any one of many shells.
Yeah, Windows is nothing more than a (poorly) reverse engineered version of OS/2 Warp 3.0!!!
Or perhaps, we all stand on the shoulders of giants, silly.
Sorry freind, but your understanding of modern processor design is too limited at this point to contribute to this thread in such a way. Modern processors are very much RISC processors using code translators to allow x86 code to continue with the compatibility which locks themselves in far more than anyone else. If Intel tried to switch to a new architecture, the company would simply die as AMD and others filled the void and established greater names for themselves. Individuals, companies, and developers have too much capital invested in the x86 platform to drop it for a new architecture which would likely not provide substantial speed increases over the current code translating processors. If that weren't the case, I'm sure apple or someone would be on top right now.
Yeah....most people are pussies. I mean, who WOULDN'T just LEAP at the chance to play around with high voltage compoents which can put the hurt on just about anyone? Personally speaking, that's the kind of rush I PAY to BUNGEE JUMP for. If I can get it for free and fix my monitor in the process, it's just good economics, you know?
Or if the high voltage portion of the monitor is damaged. It's nice having SOMETHING to tell you the screen is running when you're trying to isolate a dead component, and you're not sure if the monitor even has power.:)
Well, off the top of my head (and the edge of my desk), comparing the blue power light on my speakers to the others, I'd say green is an option, as is amber, and even red. They're all nothing compared to the Blue power light behemoth on my cheap speakers from walmart.
You wear khaki cargo pants and cotton shirts. And emo glasses. That's 'cause you're so unique. You also probably write bad poetry or run an anticonsumer website or magazine, right?:P
I bought a cheap set of speakers from Walmart a few months ago. Power light is brighter than my screen, so sadly this isn't something that is just for high end stuff.
(as for your.sig, I'll vote for green when they come up with some decent ideas about how to run a country. I'll vote for the new Conservatives when they prove they can balance a budget, which probably won't be soon, since Mulroney, "conservative" as he was, racked up some of the biggest deficits in the history of the country. I won't ever vote for the NDP ("you guys shouldn't have balanced the budget! You should have spent that money which you don't have on social programs!"). Seems to me that childishness aside, the liberals have shown themselves to be the lesser of the political evils, the best choice for moderates, mild conservatives, though ironically perhaps not liberals...)
You'll have to explain to me how an older machine as an MP3 server burning electricity 24/7 is better on the environment than just taking the old hard drive out and putting it in your new machine and using IT to store MP3s.
If you really want to save the environment, give the old computer to a local youth. Youths like getting free computers. Especially with games. And SNES emulators.
Yeah! Breaking copyright law to save the world!(at least the chinese world where most of this stuff ends up, but shh!) It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!:)
I guess boycotts resulting from their lawsuits directed at grandmothers and small children have nothing to do with that too?
Yeah. They can eat my shit. I'm not buying anything from them, and I'm not going to listen to their shitty new releases. I'll just sit here with my old collection, doing what they hate most -- enjoying my favourite bands, who have already recieved payment for their services.
See, there's the beautiful evil part: By removing porn from the world, all the spam he gets will now be for penis enlargement. With all those pumps, pills, shots, and "techniques", he will succeed in being^H^H^H^H^H having the largest dick in the WORLD! And then....AND THEN HE WILL RULE THE WORLD BY CONQUERING COUNTRIES USING LOVE, NOT HATE, BABY! YEAH!
naw, just playing STUPID. seriously. Of COURSE you're going to focus on him when talking about the democrats! He was the leader of the last majority democratic government! Are people so stupid they don't understand that? No, I think they just don't like being wrong so they change the subject.
This would be like blaming the press for only covering Liberal Party scandals in canada. Why only liberal scandals? Why don't you go over the conservatives too? BIAS!!!
Oh wait. The liberals are the ones running the government. See? Stuff like that.
the truth that the republicans are in power with a vengance? Yeah, you stupid hippie, go back to your little hole, where you pretend to be conservative, you stupid wanker.
p.s. I'm as conservative as they come. That's exactly why I think the current administration is bad. Sorry to burst your bubble freind, but those blokes aren't conservative by any stretch of the imagination. They're just religious mysoginistic fag haters. Religious mysoginistic fag hating does not a conservative make, as the largest defecit in US history shows.
And if you can't remember a certain story about the former president spread all over the press, a huge mistake on his part which dented the moral fabric of the space time continuum, you're probably too stupid to read.
I haven't seen a republican YET that wasn't a liberal in disguise.
Hello? 'No strings attached' "liberation" from fascist right wing dictators, replacing said dictators with a form of government designed(in theory) to allow equality and freedom for all? tens of billions of dollars given for free, no strings attached to this desert country in the middle of nowhere? Largest deficit in US history?
Son, you've been DUPED. The republicans are just a bunch of useless pinko lefties in disguise.
So.....in order to be "fair and balanced"...........you have to.....silence.............stories that.........make people that make bad decisions like this......look....bad.....
Just shut up and go home, you damn hippy. Nobody wants or needs your brand of "fair".
people just accepted that computers needed regular rebooting after running Windows 95
Don't look at me, I used OS/2 Warp until I got a copy of win95 OSR2 in '97. It wasn't until 99 or 2k when I got a copy of 98SE that I switched to that. Now I'm using 2k, and will be until I see if longhorn is worth the effort. If it isn't, I'll be upgrading late to yet another Microsoft OS to avoid the hassles.:)
I understand that slashdotters love their human rights more than a black man loves his chicken... But come on! It would be nice to be able to sit at the front of the bus, but come on already, it isn't even a God-given right to take the bus, its a priveledge that us assholes take for granted. You could live just fine without sitting at the front of the bus, or without busses at all for that matter. You can't sit here and compare that to something like video games.

'Anal Assault 5'? That makes 'Naughty Nurses 3' look like 'Girls Gone Wild 6'!!!
Not that.....I'd know...
Let's see... Hot days, no air nor fans, no showers, laptop went, but only managed to charge in the car...
:P
All in all, I'd say it's very much like being amish(with a laptop). I didn't like it. Damn yanks, why did you have to go and break the power grid?!

no, but it definitely helps. This *IS* slashdot, and some people just need a little reminder. :)
Slashdot is such a happy place. ^ ^

Tyler and I watched fight club 37 times, does that count?
As opposed to something that isn't a massive corporation, I suppose. I guess a puppy dog. Or a pencil.
