in order to get the same amout of functionality you get with your latest OSX release you'd have to buy quite a bit of extra Software to your WindowsXP Home edition.
Assuming I need it, or would rather have what Apple deems good instead of making my own choice based on several different softwares.
you don't have the constitutional right to bootleg movies, but you do have a constitutionally protected privacy that this may or may not infringe upon --
Not in a theater he doesn't. That's someone elses private property which you've been given the privlige of being on; the owner of which is free to watch or have you watched as they see fit. You dont like it, leave.
But 99% guaranteed I won't be caught. Using Firefox makes me immune to drive by installs, even despite that I keep a fairly tight regiment of Spybot/Adaware/NortonAV scans
More accurately, perhaps few users who want to give up what their current bank offers (whether it be a lower interest rate on a loan, higher on checking, fee free checking, location, whatever) to swap to another one solely based on having to fire up IE once in a while to use a website.
Frankly, I am not costing myself money over something so unimportant.
I work at a bookstore. Lots of people have friends/family that read, however have NO clue WHAT they read (genre/author etc) Around christmas we sell STACKS of gift certs for precisely this reason. Besides that, many avid readers enjoy the pleasure of coming to shop around for an hour or two before deciding on something. I myself love getting gift certs (esp now that i get a discount on the books...) because then i get to go look around at everything and so forth.
Ideally one would consider what stores the giftee would be likely to shop at and purchase gift certs appropriately, but it sounds like your family didn't really consider that. Gift cards are great when you are pretty sure someone would like something at that store (Best Buy/ Electronics Botique for us/t'ers for example) but aren't sure specifically what. You also run the risk of purchasing somethign they already have/aren't interested in. The card also means you at least THOUGHT about what they MIGHT like instead of popping a 20 in a Hallmark card
You know nothing of the security presence at that bank. Has that bank been robbed as a direct result of its policy? I havent seen anything saying it was.
You also apparently don't know much about guns, as holding up more than 1 person with a bolt action rifle isn't going to work real well.
Yeah because you know, since all servers have all their mime types set correctly 100% of the time there's no need for the browser to analyze what its downloading.
Right.
Firefox was a PAIN to download files with until they fixed the code that handled mime types to be more like IE and "guess" at least some of the time. Of course the solution is to make sure all servers are config'd correctly, but that won't happen.
That's kindof interesting, considering my dad loved bangers and mash as a kid, and his family is about as backwoods redneck north carolinian as it gets. Wonder where thy picked up the dish from...
My main address is a hotmial account, and I'm still using it. Why? One main reason: Gmail can't be accessed through Thunderbird (Techincally hotmail cant eaither but at least there's a 3rd party program to do it)
I realize the best part of gmail is in its web interface with search things and whatnot, but right now I don't particularly care to use any of that, and I don't want to ahve to browse to a site to check it, just open Tbird and check it with all my other addresses
A waste of energy? Its an exploration of a scientific question for folks interested in hard science. How is that a waste of energy?
Because SETI might well find nothing, and if it DOES find something there will not be any immediate benefit from it. However odds are extremely good you or someone close to you will develop cancer, which is the focus of several folding projects.
SBC is basically providing an "OOOoh shiny!" to its customers to cover for its absolutely pathetic service. I have friends in kansas city and texas who have SBC DSL, and I'd be willing to wager it goes out at least once a day if not more so, for often enough to disrupt downloads and instant messaging, if not for hours at a time

In my fond memories MIRV = Warheads
Funny, I feel the same way about W...
The two opinions are not mutually exclusive...

where exactly DO you live, out of curiousity?
Granite slabs. Lets see you decay one of those

I'm glad I use it on Windows...
The moral of that story is: Don't get them gift certs to a crappy retailer.
Probably not being able to speak Thai. The "starter edition" is stripped of english language support.
The difference being the majority of all software in Europe probably *isn't* stolen.

Hope that clarifies some.

Well unless you live in a country where computers dont come with CD/DVD drives anymore....
Moore purchased a firearm completely legally through a licensed dealer. Why is this news?
Well would you donate to an overclocker who stupidly fried a 300 dollar CPU and broke out the collection plate to replace it?
beat ME to it as well =D

Perhaps they could. But how long would it take to establish contact? Some of those signals have been travelling for quite some time have they not?
