I'm not sure that I'd want to do business with anyone who doesnt seem intelligent/caring/thorough enough to properly spell check an auction listing anymore than I'd want to go in a store that had its signs and adverts mispelled. Especially considering it's eBay, and if you're shafted, you're shafted.
But he didn't register MikeRowe.com , he registered MikeRoweSoft.com . In this day and age it is IMPOSSIBLE not to notice the connection between that and said software giant
Call me devil's advocate, or whatever, but being as this kid obviously made a website of such a name as to bait and/or parody Microsoft, and then microsoft turns around and basicalyl rewards him for said baiting....is this really the message people ought to be getting?
Being an undergrad who talkswith alot of grad students, I have trouble believing a significant portion of PhD students get paid for their reasearch, rather htan the other way around
When you are under the scrutiny of politicans and staffers who will gladly leak information regardless of the fact that it may get a field agent killed or destroy a years long effort, why the hell shouldnt you keep soft files?
The kind of respectable elder who realizes that, if the kid passes another bill elsewhere and gets caught, said elder is now an accessory since he knew about the crime and did not do what is legally required and notify the cops.
- from what I saw, theoretical knowledge is barely tested in the US.
It varies from state to state. North Carolina (where i live) has the distinction of giving the most useless driving test available due to the fact that its packed with trivia such as you mention--theoretical stuff--and has very little actual useful information
I agree with the article submitter. In the anime the eva pilots are all teens correct? (Even Rei...sorta. )...the concept art Weta presented makes them all look like dumpy 20 or 30somethings IMHO. granted the anime style in general presents females as perhaps over-thin, but thats part of the character in some isntances--for examle Rei, who seems so frail and wispy and so forth.
How can you give a hard and fast rating to a multiplayer game? I seem to recall seeing on another game (perhaps an RPG?) which had the label "rating may change in multiplayer setting"
The Sims game itself is certainly a Teen game, is it not? There's nothing 'bad' in it from the get go.
I'm not sure what EAG was expecting though. Was there not an entire expansion pack dedicated to 'romance' type things?
You are wrong.
A friend of mine just upgraded from a Ti4200 when we noticed that in most new games nvidia cards were having pitiful performance--most notably in Call of duty, notably, in the now somewhat old Command and Conquer Generals, Geforce cards seemed to arbitrarily run pathetically slow--to the point that if any Geforce powered machine dropped out, lag was reduced for all players involved instantly
The mom and pop i worked at was 20 bucks a month at LEAST (less if you went with long term contracts) This was for limited geographical access (local call zone guaranteed, some local areas throughout east coast) Tech support was nearly 24/7
AOL is not losing money to these people, they are losing out to the services that offer stripped down 56k internet, some email addresses and outsourced tech suppport (No FTP, NNTP, no frills) for 10 bucks a month that are resold through local agents just like Avon cosmetics. Good deal if you know your stuff, but try getting tech support, i dare you.
A friend of my family went with one of these setups for his internet, and was told flat out they got the price down that low because they didn't have any support staff!
Disclaimer: I live in a textile town. Three mills have closed here so far, and the local college is now FLOODED with older people looking for a new vocation.
You are misinformed. The people hurting the most from mill closures are older men and women who have been in textiles all their lives from getting a job in the mill at age 18 to help the family out. In many cases college wasn't even an option, let alone a viable choice because it would require not only cutting a source of income but also putting out massive amounts of money for several years.
If you think working in a mill requires no skills, I'd love to see YOU go do it. There is no college degree required because on-site-training is the name of the game.
Wrong about the search. I have xp set where i can do just what you said-- enter *metallica*.mp3 and it will plug away at whichever drive i pointed it at until it's done. RTF'ing Options. Search preferences > Behavior > advanced. Took me a grand total of thirty seconds to find the first time.
Hm, Let me see...out of all of the hundred or so people I have scattered through out two or three IM clients (AIM, ICQ, YIM, MSNM) who uses IRC....
One person. that is why I don't just stick to IRC, even though in some situations I like it better. IRC is also devoid of such things as webcam and voice chat, which many people regularly use to avoid long distance phone charges. Nor has it any effective privacy control or a GUI usable by the average joe (I don't mind going/nickserv info aknightcowboy but in AIM i can click a button and see the same output)
IRC is useful to be sure, but not to the masses (whether or not it's better that way is another discussion altogether)
MS webservers wouldn't serve to a non-trusted computer, movies, sounds, and images built with "trusted" packages won't open on non-trusted OSes.
Suicide. Considering the american monopoly, people are NOT going to run out and buy more computers at the tip of a hat. Effectively breaking the internet for a few million people is not a good business move.
If users find that inconvenient, I suspect 99% of them will move to a solution that works
Imagine if Firebird stopped fixing windows bugs so users would pressure MS into fixing problems? That would float like a lead duck, and you know it. Result: Win32 users would leave the project's userbase in droves.
Means you went ahead and bought one now instead of getting an -86 and having to get ANOTHER hundred dollar calculator when you get to the properly advanced stuff. I got a TI-89 in preparation for Pre-calc in highschool, and loved it. Its menu system being what it is, I could do most anything faster than the other students, once I learned how.

To prove your point: hauberk is in common use among those of us who make chainmail and suchlike things.
The photography professionals I've talked to regarding this move think it's an absurd idea, especially for a giant such as Kodak.

Gonna be shooting alot of engineers, then. We kindof have to.
