Unfortunatel, as we hit the high speeds of processors, the performance gains are not justified. I have a Celeron 300 overclocked to 450Mhz. That's a 50% increase in speed. You can (without using liquid nitrogen) not get such an increase on modern hardware. Overclocking was good for the PC industry. I'd be hard pressed to say that it still is. It is a little side-note in the home-pc history, that's it.
But then that be an obvious evidence of sabotage. The processors should be designed with safeguards in place to prevent the destruction of the chip. This sounds like a good way. If you overclock it, it won't burn up and turn into a pile of ash, but it also won't function either. I hate to say it, but I'm with Intel on this one.
The only way I'll change my mind is if they start designing killer chips, say 6 GHz, and using this to trowel the speed out to us in predetermined increments. This would be abuse of it IMHO, and then hack away!
I am reserving judgement on Blair until after the war. If he prevents the prolonged U.S. occupation of Iraq and prevents the U.S. from planting damning evidence in the event that there are no chemical weapons, then I'm glad he went in.
That being said, he's (for this moment anyways) a weenie.
At least in his pursuit of justice his morals will (hopefully) keep Bush somewhat in check. Ahhh, the right thing to do, but for all the wrong reasons. That sums up my opinion of the current world leaders.

It doesn't always work. I've had my e-mail address posted many times and all it does is make my mailserver work a little harder. My phone however takes a lot more work to censor, plus costs me money to block numbers.
The biggest thing that has been left out in the U.S. reporting is an Iraqi body count, both civilian and military. But this is standard procedure for 'media control' during any war.
Actually, the nick was a derivitive of the American Wire Gauge acronym. I was working on some electrical projects when I mentioned that I needed some 18 AWG. A friend who wasn't farmiliar with the standard said "AWG? Angry White Guys?". Being that I was white, and not in a happy mood, I got named "Angry White Guy". It just kind of stuck.
And even though my skin color may not mean a whole lot to how I define my identity, it can mean a lot to how others have defined me. I'm certain that you've run into the same. As an aside, Light Brown Guy sounds like an unlikely superhero. I suggest you roll with it.
Influencing the votes is not the problem. The system is broken. It is run by the affluent for the affluent, with just enough benelovance thrown in to quell revolt. I will be the first to say that I am not the one to bring about this change (plus I'm not eligible to become President, nor do I want the job), but maybe my ramblings will inspire someone who can do it.
In all actuallity I am hoping for a black President, someone who isn't from the old boys school, and someone who knows what struggle is. And not the "should I take the BMW or the Mercedes?" type of strggle.
But I won't hold my breath...
Yeah, but if I were to go into your boss and say "I know a foreign fellow who will do that for $2 a day and he'll think he's ripping you off", you'd be pretty pissed, and rightly so.
Now if you were to make certain that sufficient tariffs were placed on his work to make certian that he was competitive, then you have the ability to keep your job on merit.
Thanks for the tip. And just for the record, I am not an American, and my whole spheel was not US protectionalism.
I firmly believe that Sun has thus far succeeded despite its management, as do a lot of companies, and many of the reasons for this is protectionalism of corporations. The strong should survive, but that never means tying their hands behind their back so that a smaller competitor gets a shot at the title.
Actually no, I am not a communist, nor am I a capitalist. I would put myself somewhere in-between, although a little farther towards the communist side than not. And contrary to popular belief, communist is not a bad word.
There have been studies done that show very clearly that the countries (as a whole) who profited most from Globalization are the first world countries.
I wholehartedly agree with you, and I am not one to say that I would turn the hands of time back. But unfortunately, the way the economy has grown, it has become a house of cards, stretching to the sky to touch the moon. One wrong move and the whole thing will come falling down. I am merely stating that instead of pulling the cards from the bottom to put another layer on top, why don't we rebuild the bottom layer with a good, solid foundation. Maybe we won't have enough cards to reach the same height, but at lease when one of the cards falls, the whole damned thing doesn't fall down on top of us.
We can't changed what happened, but we can prevent it from happening again. And giving all the power to the corporations is categorically not the way to do that.
Uhm, why do you think that there is a minimum wage? It is a safeguard, not for the rich, but for the poor. Exporting jobs bypasses these checks, and makes the minimum wage a hindrance.
If you care to post your address, I'll mail you a copy of economics for dummies. You'll enjoy the read, and you may just learn something.
There is a reason why people get chosen to be laid off. You insist on bringing your standard of living down. You are responsible, and accountable. If these people were paid comparatively, you would still get laid off because they would probably still do it better. Your standard of living is a direct result of your capabilities, in the environment you are in. You are not entitled to a high paying job purely because you have experience in that field; if you suck, oh well, the unemployement line is over there.
But if someone else can do an adequate job for less, and they don't have the same costs placed on me by my country, then damn skippy I'm going to be upset.
The question is no longer who can do it better, it's who can do it cheaper. Tariffs were implemented as a way to prevent the mass exodus of jobs from a country, not a massive tax grab for the government.
The IT industry doesn't owe me anything. My government owes me lots. They should protect me and my job, and my family. It looks like the only way that this is going to happen is if I go to work at a munitions factory.
And this is not just protecting me, it's also about protecting my fellow workers from what is essentially predatory pricing. There is no mention of douchebags in my posting. If you're a douchebag, should you have a job? probably not. Are you garunteed one? Not unless you work for a company run by douche bags.
You have NOT lived on what these jobs are paying, let alone less than. I've been so poor that if I didn't wake up with a hard-on, I had nothing to play with all day.
People do not have a right to two cars, a huge house, overseas vacations, etc. They do however have a right to a government that looks out for the well-being of their own nation, their own people.
Why the fuck do I pay taxes? It's for services rendered. One of those services is that my government does not sell me and my community out so that one guy can have twenty-two cars, a huge home abroad and a two week vacation here.
It isn't about making a profit at all costs for these companies. It's about ensuring the well-being of ALL people, both here and elsewhere. If these people were to get paid comparatively, then their standard of living would go up, but instead you insist on bringing MY standard of living down.
You can fuck right off, and take your fucking multinationals with you.
Why do you think that countries have import laws? To prevent people with lower costs of living and lower wages from doing what you are doing. The relative poverty in India puts the U.S. at a disadvantage if the companies can import products from India cheap. It will destroy the competitive market of the same products in the U.S.
Tariffs and trade agreements are designed to prevent this, as are employment regulations. Breaking these only serves to crush local competition since they cannot reduce their costs signifigantly enough to remain competitive. And if they did, YOUR wages would drop, and you would be put in the same boat as India.
The global villiage does not bring the poorer nations up to our level, it drags the richer nations down to theirs. And it the Greed of the multi-nationals which ensures that this happens.

Spend a couple of days looking at it, and you'll be able to sort your files into categories based on the receiver's flavour of kink. At one time I could find interracial furry midget porn out of a userbase of 8,000.
And yes, the black dudes were as big as their arm. Pity they were midgets.
