It is simple, we just need them damn Vulcans to give us their star charts and we will be all set. While were at it, we should snag their technology as well . . . . . WHAT! What do you mean Star Trek isn't real!?!?!?!?
Go get yourself a $10 gravis gamepad. You will enjoy yourself so much more. I couldn't care less about force feedback, rumble packs and things of that nature. The gamepad will take care of most of your needs for any game that requires something other than mouse controls. As for steering wheels, I can see the benefit of using them, especially since it gives a more linear control for turning, but I don't think it is enough to even complain about.
"To that end, the Defense Department is now prohibited from purchasing any software that has not undergone security testing by the NSA. Stenbit said he is unaware of any open-source software that has been tested."
By taking this literally, this would mean that they cannot purchase M$ software until it is tested, but would they not have to purchase it so they can test it?
On the other hand, they can obtain the open source alternative for free, so it raises the question, according to the quote, does it have to be tested, and is that why it has not been tested.
Sorry, had to say it. I know I am referring to the actual words, rather than the meaning behind the words.
As much as I would like to, you can't really blame Verisign for this one. The whois information is publicly available, and that is where the spammers get it from. The best way to deal with it is to register it with an invalid e-mail address which you can always activate at anytime, such as junkmail@domainbeingregistered.com and then you can always alias that address to a working address if need be. That is what has worked for me for years.
I can certainly tell you that you are incorrect. In fact I just dealt with them today. I handle nicmods for an ISP, so I have to deal with them pretty often. Trust me, they still suck, especially their support staff.
Tucows is the place to be. I cannot complain a single bit about registering my domains through jumpdomain.com a reseller for tucows. I have gotten renewals from versign and I think I even got one or two from register.com, but I am not sure. I just throw them out right away.
So how long will it be until we see a Microsoft sponsered sporting team? Oh boy, I cant wait to see the Colorado Avalanch taking on the Redmond Blue Screens of Death.
I believe this is correct. I do not think that downloading music has such a large effect on cd sales. Back when Napster was around, I downloaded a couple gigs of music. This was all music that I never would have paid for in the first place. I have not purchased a CD long before Napster and other P2P programs were available. I have not downloaded any music at all in over a year, but I still have not purchased a single CD since then. This may mean that I was nothing more than a leech, but it still goes to show that there was (atleast in my case) no lost revenue to the recording industry. I cannot be certain whether or not this is due to the high prices and the shitty music, since I wont pay $15-$20 for 1 good song. But what I can tell you is that I purchase movies all the time. Draw your own conclusions.
I hope you realize that most of our customers lie to us (which makes it that much harder to determine the real problem), and we expect it. Just like the "I didn't do a thing and it just stopped working", never mind that they installed some POS software that screwed it all up. The way I see it, you called them for help, don't lie to them. In this case he may not have been as qualified to help and you should have asked for someone else, but lying to them is your own damn fault. You're giving false information to a real problem and you expect a working answer, now I ask you, who is the monkey here?
They probably cannot judge the trajectory of the ball because they are too busy laughing their asses off at the guy who threw it, because he is now spinning and flipping uncontrolably.
You should be referring to QC rather than QA. QC is quality control in the sales and distribution area, QA is quality assurance, in the research and design phase. So if the product is shipped incorrectly blame QC, if the design of the product is bad, then blame QA.
Now the guys with the bass systems in their vehicles will have sound eminating from their windows as well.

Must not be too hard, I got it on the first try. I entered ambivolous dictionary without any quotes and it came back with one result. I guess it was just beginners luck.
I don't know about everybody else, but I already picked up a copy of Tron. It may not have been as good as the Star Wars movies, but it was one of my favorites when I was growing up. Do you believe in users?
Hell, now a days anything that you do, that someone else does not like, is terrorism. I mean they were claiming that file sharing is terrorism, so I guess other things can be as well. If I get my way, tailgating and passing without a signal will be terrorism!

Oh shit, your right, I stand corrected.
the jokes about mozilla's release will cease, well after everyone has a last crack at it.

Actually its "Would you like to play a game?"

yeah, just think with all those nanosprings, and nanoballs, we can build a nanopinball game. Anyone up for a little (pun intended) tournament?

"I have a feeling that this is another attempt by Gateway to experiment with the latest trendy thing. They should just stick with what they know."
The problem with that, there is no market for 'Jack Shit'.
This goes to show you how moronic the EULA are getting. They should be deemed illegal.

If they get tried in as a US company, then they get the rights of a US company.

And what 4 year olds do you know that need a wristwatch? I think this is more likely to be used on the teenagers.
