How was this fucking informative? Not only did this guy fail to read the article, he didn't read the story, either. They said SPECIFICALLY they tested it with all the pretiness turned off, and it was still a lot slower.
Umm, "your" is possessive, and he said:
providing your hardware can handle it
"You're" is a contraction for "you are," which means you think he should have said:
providing you are hardware can handle it
Were you trying to look stupid, or was it an accident?
Thank you for making me feel better for spending $500 canadian dollars to upgrade from Linux to Windows XP Professional (full retail install).
LOL, you probably had to spend 500 canadian dollars just to pay for gas to go and get XP.
Correction: some of us haven't figured out how to earn Karma by trolling. On the other hand, some of us have ph4t trolling skillz. I had one that was modded up twice, but it was deleted, I guess.
I propose, gentlemen, that the Jews are running/.! They'll use it to kill Jesus, just like they did before! They're going to crash a plane full of anthrax infected/. editors into the Vatican!
It's so on topic, I'm blinded by it. I mean, Jesus, he practically read four whole words out of the entire story. That's just a few steps short of reading the article, which is only a few steps short of actually having something useful to say about the topic! In fact, his post is so on topic and knowledgable I'm about to ejaculate in sheer awe of it!
Warning: I am making the possibly misguided assumption that this new technology is based on "supersonic" combustion.
I have long since wondered when scramjet technology would fit into the "grand scheme" of rocketry needs. Standards serve both to implemement existing technology as soon as possible in order to acquire more investment dollars, and in order to ensure compatibility with existing and established markets and products. However, standards also serve to hamper technological advancements. Just look at the standard aircraft architecture (whatever it's called). On the other hand, standards also ensure compatibility with a wide variety of manufacturers and products. They generally make our lives much easier.
I believe that in order to push this new technology, and also to provide compatibility with the existing infrastructure, early developers of this technology will have to make some compromises. These compromises will be most notable in the actual user-cost. My reasoning being, is that they will have to make their product with two combustion technologies. One that uses the supersonic scramjet technology, and one that uses the old aircraft standard. This will increase the cost until they can figure a way to use a single method of combustion to do both. I think this format has the potential to do very well, except for the standards issue. If the general public can accept the early high costs of this technology and view it as a true leap, it will quickly become cheaper and more useful. If not, then it will die a quick death, and be thrown towards a niche category like perhaps the Minidisc is in America. Standards are again, both a blessing and a curse.
For most of this year, the slowing world economy has caused companies to cut back on
investments in technology. After the terrorist attacks on September 11th, much of our
business for the quarter, which typically closes in the final weeks, simply did not
materialize.
As a result, Sonicblue will post a very disappointing loss for the quarter.
Cuts in expenses, many of which were suggested by you, saved Sonicblue $29 million last
quarter, but that was not enough to offset the shortfall in revenue. In order to establish
profitable growth, Sonicblue will have to make even deeper cuts in the size and costs of
operations.
We examined every scenario that would let us avoid having to lose good people who are not
only our co-workers but also our friends. Unfortunately, Sonicblue is in the process of
cutting xxx positions, a larger number than we anticipated in our memo to you earlier this
year, but an unavoidable number, due to the outlook for retail spending going forward.
Amazon.com is granting severance packages that will reduce personal hardships in this
economic climate, and we will make extra efforts to assist people with job placement
assistance. This cut is the most difficult and painful one this company has ever had to
make.
Sonicblue has been a highly rated company for about 7 years. Economic cycles
come and go. This downturn will pass in time. And when it does, Sonicblue will emerge from
it much stronger than competitors who lack our differentiated software technology, base of
customers, and our ability to invest heavily in R&D. Sonicblue will regain momentum, but
only if we tighten our focus and sharpen our execution.
The immediate challenge for all of us is to restore growth, leading to profitable growth.
Every organization within Sonicblue is being asked to do more with less. Some organizations
will function differently than in the past. Senior managers will take sizeable cuts in pay
under Sonicblue's performance-based compensation model. Still, we can't just cut our way to
profitability. We have to grow our way to profitability.
I have been in involved in the fields of business and finance for many years. I have seen
the fortunes of countless companies rise and fall. I believe I can lead our company out of
tough times and into better days. I have never seen a company with as much potential for
sustained, long-term industry leadership as Sonicblue has today. Sonicblue has a terrific
team of employees known for their stamina and adaptability. We have developed unsurpassed
software technology, market leadership in the retail business, and superlative
customer service. In the weeks ahead, we will release news of much anticipated new alliances
and software that reinvents the concept of management and enables customers to do
more than ever before, at lower costs. Our long-term mission is to extend Sonicblue's
leadership of the industry. And with your help we will.

What an inspiring story of bravery and heroism! Can I suck your penis?

How was that informative, you fucking dipshit moderators?
How about their slanty, snake-like eyes? Or the way they try to rape all the white women they see?
Instead, you'll waste your money buying it.
Sometimes you get a little fixated on my "meat product"
Yeah, when they wrote that they were thinking of Jon Katz.
Are you ESL, or are you just retarded?
it sure can't be happening, you dumb motherfucker
About your sig: Super Bestial Machine God Dancougar, anyone? :) It has the opposite problem, though.
