Yeah. I have an XP box that's been up for a few weeks (power slip, 1 second outage, probably need a backup PS but am broke, c'est la vie) with no problems. I've had it on for months without problems. I'm no uptime nazi, but I've not had any trouble with crashes. Same with my 2000 Server box. Both are under constant load (home office machines that also run a database-driven website that gets 20,000 pageviews per day)
Nope. Sorry. Now, poor people have a right to pay the low price, if offered, for a computer. But if such a thing were to not exist there would be no moral void. Rights are different than wants.
I say this as a genuine poor person. My income this year has been appx. six grand.
I'm not talking about maxing out my investments. I'm talking about not destroying companies. I remember watching stocks lose 1/3 of their value when income was off by a few cents. It's a bullshit game.
Remember what started this - talk of a CEO lying and hiding to inflate the stock price. I don't feel a desire to encourage that sort of behavior. By rewarding inflated stock prices we encourage that behavior. Fund managers are the real bosses these days, and they aren't into providing services or products, they are into finding high margins.
Excellent point. That said, I do not and will not own stock (I do realize that my bank account is probably in the market, but I won't invest in the market directly - 401(k), stock buys, whatever. I think the way publicly traded companies are hostages to stock price is sick, and I will divorce myself from it as much as possible.
You do know that a CEO's legal responsibility is to manage his company in such a way the the stock increases in value? One reason that his compensation is tied to stock prices is to increase his motivation to do that very duty.
Yeah, it's not like that place is littered with man portable Stinger missles or anything. Remember, one of the reasons the Soviets pulled out was the US (esp. CIA) support of the muj.
There's plenty of deadly shit that'll take down aircraft, esp. low-flying ones.
www.americancomputech.com sells a wide variety of systems, your choice of AMD or Intel, single or dual processor, etc - with or without an OS. They have a nifty online configurator, too...you can put together a system component by component if you so desire. No, I don't work for them.
The website I run fits this model. A few thousand people use it, hang out, talk to each other...for free and without ads. Or much in the way of rules, either. Of course, this is only possible because of the small size. I can run it on hardware I've got lying about on a DSL connection. But if it were to explode I'd have to cut off new memberships. I do freely offer all scripts and database schemas, but since it's based on IIS and SQL Server it requires a hefty investment, and only one person has taken me up on it. It's ugly and it's a little flaky, but so am I. www.inthewire.com
Sure didn't. I read the linked page then bookmarked it for the morning. See, I'm really, really drunk right now, so I thought I'd hold off on installing software and stick to bitching about moderators that have more crack in their bloodstream than I do in my ass.
Please, mods, look up overrated in the dictionary. I know, a post can be overrated at 0, but that isn't why you did this. You either disagreed with the point or you felt it was inflammatory - either way, you knew it had to be modded out of sight. But you couldn't accept a negative metamod, so you took the safe route. I know that karma is important - without it, what do you have? Nothing. There is only that elusive 50, a goal that gives you hope.

You have been missed.
You could care less? How much less?
Article mentions Maxtor in the title, but all links point to Western Digital. Something I missed?
Yeah, first post by three minutes.

Do you have over 1000 comments?
No
Why Not?

Post. Boy, I'm good.
Sorry, man, not wide in 6.03 on Windows 2000.
NT was based on VMS, not Unix. You may be thinking of the TCP/IP stack that was sourced from BSD.
Klerk ought to get ahold of this - page widening motherfucker...
IIRC, you gave them your copy, they gave you a reproduction (they kept yours)
Clever. I hope you die. Dammit, that was foul.
Fixed? No, not really. There is a workaround, though.
I assume the parent was modded up.
Goody.
Do your nipples get sore after clamping and stretching?

Sure didn't.
