First of all, quiz me. Second of all, most people reading this probably aren't that familiar with a lot of techincal things, so of course that should come into play. Why would someone ask if they knew?
That's true. I'd take an AMD at a slower clock rate anyday. But when consumers learn the real speed they're going, they don't like it. I've had a bunch of people buy new AMD systems, and when I tell them what speed they're actually running at, they get skeptical and don't want to buy from AMD again, even after I explain. Consumers don't like being lied to, and for the most part, aren't as dumb as some people make them out to be.
Is it just me, or does it sound like a song from The Mothers of Invention?
And also, it seems like everything the voices say is negative. Are they any conditions like schizophrenia where instead of downing you constantly, the voices help you?
If there is, the voice is probably 'Jesus', but other than that, I'd like to know.
I wrote that in first grade! Look, you can even see the happy face I put in the middle! Check out the fancy finger paint work...not too shabby, if I do say so myself.
Being a long time member of the QBasic Programming Community, I remember that as one of the best games...ever. made by M/K productions...ah, those were the days. After I blew Saget's head off, it made watching him at least a little more standable. And they say those things increase violence? Hell, it's not violent things that cause violence, it's stupid things that cause violence. But either way, I would recommend absolutely everyone going out on google and finding a copy of that game. If the source code's out, I see no reason to implant a picture of Donahue there. Or get really creative on this subject matter with a picture of Tipper Gore.
I know when I'm being oppressed mentally I just like to chill and not get any frustration out. Being 15 and an atheist, I can tell you that lacking 'mass every Sunday' has yielded me no less moral than anyone else. In fact, I'm more moral than most people I know that are religious. When my parents had me (my parents are also 13 years divorced, and I'm a bastard, just so you know where I'm coming from), they made a decision to not force me to religion, to raise me secularly, in the hopes that I would find a religion, a religion would find me, or I would be whatever. My dad's an atheist, whilst my mom is a Methodist, yet I know rigth from wrong, good from bad. Go figure.
And pornography? What is wrong with porn? Name me one thing. Go on. It's degrading? These girls (95% of the time) agreed to do those things, wether their reasons were good or not. They go into it knowing what will happen. Anyone that afterwards said they didn't know, well tough shit, I guess you didn't research your decision as far in as you should've. I won't lie, I look at porn, and I always have a girlfriend that I love and loves me back. Porn has not altered the state of my mental being, even towards the opposite sex. If anything, it has made me realize how fragile a good relationship is, with all those one night stands and sex with no feeling. I've never had sex, neither has she, and we're defineately not rushing anything. But then again, you wouldn't expect that from a teenage you jsut stereo-typed the hell out of, would you?
While I will agree that broken homes play a part, and that irresponsible parents are the reason that this stuff happens, the dinner thing is bogus, as well. Because of working long and hard, many families can't have dinner like that together, because more and more, both parents work. My mom has been remarried for the past 11 years, and my step-father is a great guy. But unfortunetaly, they both work, and dinner is almost never eaten together, and is usually permeated by watching The Simpsons. Yet I'm fine, as are my little sister and little brother.
I'll also concede that those games shouldn't get into the hands of kids, but not all minors. My friends are more mature than most of the adults we know. I've been playing DooM since I was around 11 or 12 (when my parents thought I was mature enough to play) and listening to metal for as long as I can remember. Perhaps what you're looking to prevent are children--and people in general--that never test boundaries, that never question. Religion does nothing to help a sensible society. It introduces morals and ethics, but so do nursery rhymes. Go figure.
And hey, I apologize if information coming from a kid that actually lives the ways alot of people say violence comes from is contrary to popular thought and if I opened minds. No, really. I am. If you want to find me, I'll be in the confession booth, asking forgiveness from some false diety created to preach sameness and keep power where it doesn't belong.
And that was a rant, I don't believe in altering streaming conscious, so bam. There ya go. I'll probably be modded down, but hey...eff them.
Gimme a break. Maybe not originally, but any group of people eventually becomes 'evil'. It's human nature to do so, and most people can't not give in. It's impossible not to. Democrats and Republicans weren't originally bad, they ended up that way. Think about stuff before you say it, and do what I do: Don't vote federally, only vote local, because you can't get to the top without climbing the stairs.
This country's due for a revolt soon, anyway. No 'great' society has gone for more than around 200-300 years without a significant revolt. The things this country was founded on need to be followed. And I know this country was founded by white slave owners who wanted to be free, but still, what they said holds true, and ergo, it doesn't matter who they were: they were right. Every once in a while, the tree of liberty needs to be refreshed with blood. Unfortunetaly, this countries in for some huge damage. Even stupid people can see how they're being pushed around by companies that they themselves have paid for.
Don't vote libertarian, vote locally. And it's time to have a call for arms if this shit doesn't end soon. Good thing tyranny and kings ended when we broke off of England...
How the hell could you get over a condition without having a sense of humour? man, you shoulda heard the jokes when i ate some bad food and it ate away my intestinal linning...most of them either involving gay sex or stools. but anyway, it was funny. laugh. lifes too short. i wonder what the guy thinks. he himself said 'sorry, no pictures' of the crash.
This article is refusing to load for some reason, but I've read many articles on molecular computing before. And if this article follows the same strategy that the others did, when the current passes through the molecule, it bends, causing the other current to flow. But to me, this seems as though 'tcould be a hinderence. Think about it this way: you put millions upon millions of these things together to make a processor. But since the all rely on contortion to change state (0 to 1 and vice versa) how would they all stay together without breaking apart? Molecules have a certain amount of play, of course, but if just the right amount switch states at once, bonds could break, or it could make it impossible for other molecules to switch states. Would they be attached to something, and, if so, would the thing they're attached to cause them to not operate at top speed, if at all? Maybe you could use carbon nanotubes to secure them, because they can spring open and closed, but that would add much unneeded complexity at this point, barring even greater advances in self-assembly technology.
How many of you would actually want to keep your arm(s) suspended for hours on end? Because to take full advantage of this newfangled thingamcbob, you'd often have to raise your arm, and more likely then not, for extended periods of time. If Pong (crosses fingers) actually does come out for it, you know you won't be able to stop. Until they get some sort of rest on this thing, 'twon't appear on my desk. That, and until they find a way for it, right out of the box, to rearrange the emtpy Coke cans on my desk to make room for the thing:)
I followed the link to the story, then to an xbox hack site, XBOXHACKER, and upon entering that sites FAQ, it said that DivX play wasn't possible, at least not yet. Who's right? the faq's here
Actually, carpel tunnel and rts are common amongst guitar players. i dont know about pianists and what not, but im sure there is for that too. i, for one, have been playing guitar at least 3 hours a day for the past 4 years or so, plus writing in school and another 3 hours typing with good ol' ibm 101's on the computer. my wrists are fine, but a few weeks ago i started to notice tennis elbow in my left arm (im right handed, so thats the arm i use on the neck of the guitar). like an earlier post said, it's nothing that's a constant; different people have different effects and reactions to things.
You might be able to overclock your Duron, but we're talking brand-spankin' new Athlon's with the Palamino core. AMD is already redesigning these mobos, bios included as well I'd imagine to prevent little Tommy Tinkerer from screwing with bus seeds and multipliers. I doubt there will be any easy way to overclock these babys, unfortuneately, less another company releases a kick-ass mobo with lotsa features, but you never know, there may be new tactics enforced on this chip to disencourage (word?) overclocking, perhaps some sort of crystal on the chip, or an array of capacitors, or even a voltmeter (you need to screw with the voltage for an ultimate tweak, and AMD knows that). Of course, just like when Intel released this one Celeron, which was jsut a Pentium III with half of the L2 cache disabled and people penciled in a line to connect it again, there will always be a way around everything. Nerds unite! We must battle for our geekdom I don't like the idea of people hiding stuff from me, the consumer, even if it is readily available elsewhere.

Ergo the offtopic of my post. oh well, thats what you get when you rush because you might have a fp. and when? trashday. duh.
First of all, quiz me. Second of all, most people reading this probably aren't that familiar with a lot of techincal things, so of course that should come into play. Why would someone ask if they knew?
anywhere. they have the least knowledgable staff of any place i've bought from, and they overcharge anything thats not on sale.
That's true. I'd take an AMD at a slower clock rate anyday. But when consumers learn the real speed they're going, they don't like it. I've had a bunch of people buy new AMD systems, and when I tell them what speed they're actually running at, they get skeptical and don't want to buy from AMD again, even after I explain. Consumers don't like being lied to, and for the most part, aren't as dumb as some people make them out to be.
but until they name their procs with undeceptive names, I'll still wonder what's going on there.
I was hoping alot of people would pick up on that.
Ooops...

One of their reasons to get broadband is:
You'll never need to visit a record store again -buy and download albums in seconds!
I like the way they think...too bad the RIAA won't. Sounds like more IP's are gonna be blocked.
I know how you feel...this abacus doesn't just download on its own.
