Do you have any idea of the rape this planet undergoes to produce just one coffee bean? I'll bet ole Ralph wouldn't be too happy with you for supporting an industry that pillages the earth. Also, what in the hell are you doing in a city? Didn't you know polution is evil incarnate. What's next I'm gonna find out you have a car?
Actually, since God created the earth, and he also created Southern Hemisphere dwellers to be inferior to NH'ers, you wont see a damn thing. You are lucky to have stars. So stop whining. Just kidding;) I really have no idea.
Amen to that. Why is a proprietary system the de facto standard for rating a video cards worth. Some work should be done to create a truly open video standard and pull the rug out from under MicroSoft.
One who takes a contrary view or action, especially an investor who makes decisions that contradict prevailing wisdom, as in buying securities that are unpopular at the time.
Those wouldn't happen to be VA investors would they?
Due to HP's recent abuse of the DMCA I have decided to never purchase an HP or Compaq product again. I am currently the IT manager of a consulting company, who shall remain nameless due to fear of litigation, and am in line to eventually become the CIO of this rapidly growing company. I have in the past been a supporter of HP products, especially your printers and UNIX servers, and Compaq products as well, and this decision has forced me to re-evaluate my commitment to HP. I recently purchased two HP LaserJet printers, one of them has been installed, but the other is still in the box and will be returned in exchange for a different manufacturer. I have a purchasing power of tens of thousands of dollars per year, that will be growing to hundreds of thousands in the future; as well as 95% of the say as to what my company purchases. I can wholeheartedly state that we will never purchase an HP or Compaq product again. I will also be encouraging my colleauges and personal friends to stay away from HP and Compaq products in the future as well. It is time for companies to learn that not only can their CEO's cheat their shareholders out of their retirements, but they cannot use litigation to solve the problems created by their inferior products and broken business models. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
P.S. Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments you might have regarding this note.
Actually, since I buy all of my equipment from resellers instead of directly from HP, I really have no idea how or who to contact there. I'm looking at their site right now for a mailing address, or an email address that is not a bitbucket. If you have any suggestions on who to contact let me know. I fully intend to send them a more thorough version of this letter along with numbers and a shiny picture of my ass.
I will never buy another one of your products, and I am seriously considering returning the ones that I have. I am in the position that has a great deal of spending power and 95% of the say as to what my company purchases, and I will never purchase an HP or Compaq product again. Thank you very much.
Actually, my father in law's lazy boy has a fridge under the right arm rest. It's one of those fridges with a fan that sucks all of the air out of the compartment and somehow cools it. Keeps the Murphy's chilly.:)
People are stupid. Seriously, this really ticks me off, who ever said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." was right on, and he's probably rolling over in his grave now. Dear world, GROW UP! People should be allowed to say whatever they want about you, your religion, your race, your gender, everything and you should have 0 rights to silence them.
I am an American, although when it comes to beer I am ashamed to be from the country that produces Coors, Budweiser, and MGD. Good beer from the US died with Samuel Adams. Some of the Micro's are ok, but cannot compare to good German, English or Irish beer.
I found it ironic that as I was reading this article and trying to ignore the big advert on the right side of the page that I realized that the advert that I was ignoring was a microsoft add touting 1 degree of separation.
I am really hoping that he succeeds as well, but you have to admit that this man seems completely devoid of humor. I would think that in order to undertake a project such as this you would have to have a sense of humor, this man has none, that really worries me.

Uhhhh....Brazil. One of the most underrated movies of all time IMHO.
Where do I get the plans to build one of those gliders? That was awesome.
The cover should have a slug, a snail, and some salt. Which is which is up to you.

With the exception of a very few flicks I think that would be an improvement.

Please stop confusing evolution with adaptation.
Yeah, I realized that after I looked at the preview on /. Oh well, hopefully she'll understand.

The smell from that plant is reported to travel in excess of 150 miles when the wind is right. :)
In order to be pollitically correct are they going to build a female version called MinuteMaid?
