How about all us nerds and geeks pool our money and make a colony ship and leave the dumbshits to their own greed driven devices. The only problem is finding women (nerd and geek women are seemingly rare).;P
And I bet if you offered to set up as the hop between your backbone local (AT&T) and one near the University (say, that qwest hop), they would both want to charge you for the privilage even if you have your own equipment, fiber, and pole rights.
I am well aware that mame is for emulating multiple arcade machines. My point was that it has a special modual included in it now that only does 1 machine and can only be used with 1 game.
Gotta love red herring threads...
Me: The sky is red in the evening.
Slashdoter1: its also many other colors
Slashdoter2: Its black during nighttime you dumb shit!
Slashdoter3: You all should know its blue during the day.
RE to #3: Not when its cloudy!
This is actually quite common IRL as well, businesses that set up around a military base (to leech off the base personel, no less) bitch and moan that on base, people with a military ID do not have to pay sales tax and try to bri...err...coer...err... lobby to force sales tax on base.
FYI: At least in the food part of it, there is a refrigeration fee or someshit. It's still less than sales tax though last time I checked.
Heh, I think the Demopublicans want to keep what they have left of the Senate. The filibuster is a tactic used in the senate where someone gets up to speek and rambles on forever in order to prevent the Senate from taking a vote. But there is an anti-philibuster that can be enacted. I forget the specifics. One tactic for filibustering I remember is reading every name from a phone book. Its kinda like a big wad of read tape or the endless forwarding/waiting phone call, but more direct.
That thought occured to me, too. What better way to make sure even more restrictive laws are passed and ones that have already been passed (DMCA, etc.) stick. Its also a great excuse to use to justify paying 2x more and regional price fixing (see DVDs vs. VHS) on the 90% (that's an educated guess and estimate, stat trolls) of the target population that is not clueful enough to get the leaked version anyway.
No offense, in the military, you are conditioned to follow orders, not to ponder the ethical and moral consiquences of doing so. On the battlefield, it means the difference between life and death. On our own soil, it can mean that some corrupt person near the top wields alot of power to manipulate the war machine.
"...[he] tells Congress that they can best help him by going back to their constituents and finding out where the public wants to draw the line between liberty and safety."
Intelligent life found in the US government! Quick, lets vote him into presidency before he gets away!
Disclamer: I am in no way infering that the current president is not intelligent... yeah... >.>
You don't know my boss aparently, with his 600GB in IDE drives in one computer. Then there is the 2 100's, 80, and the 36GB total in 10,000+RPM SCSI Drives in his other computer, then there is the 60GB in his other one... Oh, and I have 100GB in my main box alone with about 47GB in my other boxes total. 60GB is enough if you don't do any serious leeching and don't serve much yourself ATM.
Its not how much porn you can carry on a business trip, but how much you can leech while your one the campus/corporate wifi. It beats the hell out of dialup if you can't get broadband at home.
Only in the US: Can a defendant be proven guilty... Be disrespectful to the court... Flat out refuse to comply with court orders without legal grounds... Not even follow their own version and interpretation of the settlement agreement... and.. Be granted even more power than they had before. (Yeah, its illegal, but its ok for MS to do it!)
If any of us had tried to pull this kind of shit in court, we'd be like the guy on goatse.cx by now. But because its "Big Money, Corp." they can do it all day long and not even flinch. No polititions calling for reform. No legal experts throwing a fit. No public outcry. Welcome to the US o fuckin A. (smells the karma burn)
I wish I could get away with bankrupting company after company and ripping off billions with a settlement that basically said, "I promise to not do it again as long as I don't think I need to." The settlement rank and file full of contradiction after contradiction, loophole after loophole. I can honestly say, that in my life, I have never seen this large a pile of outright horseshit, and in all places, the country that is supposed to value the rights of the little guy over that of the groups. God help me, where is the United States I was told about growing up? Where is the land of tolerance and Free thought and the chance for the little guy to succeed. I'm not calling for anarchy or comunism, so to those who would reflexively accuse me so, keep that in mind. This is supposed to be the land of the Free, not the land where you are free to fuck someone over, so long as you don't piss off someone with more power than you.
I'll admit, I have been wrong before; I will be wrong again; and I may be wrong now. But right now it sure seems to be the truth to me. This is a sham. This is a shame. This is reality.
Before people start moding this guy down as a baseless anti-bush troll, I'll add some info. There is some truth behind his opinion. As I stated earlier, methanol is extremely toxic whether consumed or inhaled as an aerosol. Small amounts cause blindness and death. In addition this quote backs up his fossil fuels claim:
"Methanol, . . . is made from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas."
For more on the clinical side of methanol click here.
For the person that replied saying that methanol was in alcoholic drinks, there are some trace amounts of methanol in alchoholic beverages, as well as several household products, but the primary alcohol present is ethanol. While still technically a poison, it is not nearly as toxic as its chemical siblings and is easily metabalized into harmless byproducts.
FYI: Ethanol in labs is "denatured" with methanol to made it so it is too toxic to drink. (We couldn't have highschoolers hangin in the supply room drinking 199 proof now could we?;) )
Unlike ethanol "grain alcohol" (the stuff in beer, wine, liquer, etc.), methanol is extremely toxic to the human body. Amounts of less than 1 cup, ingested or inhaled, cause blindness. A little more causes death.
What boggles my mind is why these people are racking theres because they can't figure out whether to pigeon hole the floating rocks as planets or just asteriods. Kuniper belt object? Whats Earth, an inner belt object? We have lots of rocks in this part of the solar system, too. It seems like they have a cactus up the ass because Pluto and this thing aren't gas giants like the rest of the outer planets.
bzzzzzzzzt...wrong answer...Windows allows overlay video, which the prntscrn key does not aquire. Where the video would be there is just a box of a specific color (near-black with wmplayer, pink with real's).
On the plus side, some of the old versions of realplayer allow print screen if you are at full screen. Oh, if you set your background to the wmplayers overlay color, you can sometimes fool wmplayer 6.4 to into showing a video as your background.

It's only because corps there have fewer polititions to bribe in order to buy a law.
