I couldn't really care Java Dies and C# takes control of that market. Java and its clones (C#)will still be disabled whenever I browse the net. If you aren't going to use it, who cares?
I'd just like to expand on this just a bit. Not only are all the traces for the integrated chips on board... but the manufacturer can test it more thoroughly and more efficiently. They choose the NIC / Sound / IDE raid / whatever. They don't have to test it to see if 47 different NE2000 NICs work. And once it works, it works.
So you finally save up to buy the 80gig per second cray harddrive and get it hooked up to the internet. Five minutes later TW sends an email saying "your cable bill is currently $4725274562"
Are you paying $80 a month for cable tv and another $80 for cable internet? That might make you a little more "entitled." really you are paying $40 and $40, so you are still on the basic cable internet plan. Don't sound all high and mighty because your monthly bill is $80 a month. If you have cable internet and satelite TV you wouldn't get confused by a high total cable bill and mis-judge your "entitlement to their network"
Exactly what would AOL/TW get out of lighting more fiber? Increase their costs. Other than that their just allowing the warez monkeys across the street to keep serving their stuff 24/7 for next to nothing.
And another thing: for those people complaining about "oh, I'm a graphic designer so this really sucks for me" or "I'm a genetics engineer and have to send human genomes to and from work"... Guess what? There is a business pricing plan that allows (and is designed) for this. I pay 125 bucks a month for my cable, because I have needs like that. Deal with it; unlimited bandwidth does not cost $40 a month.

AHA!!! Not only is the creation a Timemachine, but it is also the basis for a perpetual motion machine. One particle of energy starts and power the device, and then the same particle can be sent to power it again. And again. And again.
It's not giving stuff away for free. I'd suggest some reading before posting. Anyways...
You allow their customers to access you net connection. They watch the traffic from your node. And pay you a percentage of the revenue (50%).
The long and the short of their business model is: 1) Customers want the net. 2)Customers use your connection for access. 3) Joltage lists your node to get customers to use it. 4) Joltage pays you a percentage for this use. 5) Joltage takes the other percentage.
This is a valid business practice. Where or not there is a large enough market for it is another question. None of this has anything to do with "giving stuff away for free." Nor does it mention anywhere "free bandwidth"
Hmmmm. Is this simple a case of not liking something because it is popular?
anyways...
He hardly has time to remain 100% true to the story. Which is basically an unachievable goal. I can't think of any case where that has happened. It might be close but there are ALWAYS differences. That is notwithstanding poor casting, which IMO, did not happen in FOTR.
Lord of the Rings is about half a million words. There is no conceivable way that even with selective edits and ellipsis that that big of a work can be compressed accurately into 9-10 hours of screenplay (for all three parts of the story). The BBC's radio version was very near 13 hours.
Again other mitigating circumstances appear. While yourself, most of the people here, and I can vividly recall almost every scene and the order that each character is introduced the vast majority of the public cannot. In fact, this might be their introduction to it. Thus the story had to have more edits (other than those due to time constraints).
With the fact that it could not replicate every detail or even attempt to... It was still superb. It was epic; it was fun; it was well acted... It did indeed capture the essence of the original work.
If you looked closely you could see several details of exactly how well crafted it was. The broaches given to the company appeared after visiting Galadriel -- time constraints didn't allow that story to be told. But the items themselves WERE there. There are several similar circumstances were time would not allow everything to be told, but they still happened.
Take it as it was offered - A standalone work that did well to represent the original and brought more people into the realm of Middle-Earth
It is NOT called synonym. It is called a euphemism. You even go on to describe 9/11 exactly as a euphemism. You do NOT what to "be reminded what happened on 9/11." Euphemisms by definition take the edge/controversy off of a statement.
If you are still confused here is an example of a euphemism. I haven't spoken to Bob since my father died. Euphemism: I haven't spoken to Bob since my father's passing.
Dogs are poop machines. I'd rather own a predator (i.e. cat) than having to cart around a dumb animal's(i.e. dog's) feces in a plastic bag... immediately after it has just produced said poop.
No that wasn't what I was saying. If I was on the $40 dollar a month plan, then I wouldn't expect vpn access, high bandwidth and consistent latency.
But the nature of the cable beast is shared access to the Service Provider. And a whole whack of people behind one NAT'ed router (cost of about 80 bucks) paying a grand total of 40 bucks a month shouldn't have an effect on my premium service. And it does in the world of cable internet.
It is not very easy to crack down on people sharing net connections behind a NAT. And bandwidth / download caps aren't the greastest things for even the $40 a month service. Everyone wants to grab the latest.iso of their favorite flavour of linux. Everyone wants to grab some.mp3s.
It's habitual, illegal (against the terms of service), and difficult to dectect actions that rile me.
So the long and the short of it is, and this maybe very well be egocentric, I pay more, ergo I should get more.
Your damn right I want 100% uptime, low latency, no slowdowns, vpn, static ips, instantaneous customer support. I willingly pay 120 bucks a month to my cable company to get it too. As the Telecommunications Administrator for a company that has 4 dedicated oc3 lines, I know exactly how much bandwidth costs. 120 bucks is really a steal.
If people (read: university students) would realize this and not get one router and network a string of apartments/townhouses together all for the basic 40 dollar cable- and tele-coms could actually drive costs down and/or provide better services. Leaving Morpheus/Kazaa/grokster/whatever on 24/7 uploading and downloading movies is criminal. Not in the fact that it is piracy. But they drain the resources that I am willing to pay for(and need to have).
We do use 3d storage techniques. I'll just use DVD's as my example to keep it on topic.
There are two layers on a DVD. When you look at it might seem 2d but there really is depth and thus it is 3d. The Laser on DVD reads the first layer (which is usually gold) which is semi transparent. This transperancy allows the laser to access data underneath the first layer.
Something else you might be interested in is that in order to have DVD and CD compatiblity a holograpic laser is used.
WHAT! You told your wife that there are root passwords... Now you have to give them out. But if you never mentioned what su root did, she would have no idea and just think "uhhh, he's hacking again."
Well, Let's hope that the programmers (or theirbosses) have the foresight to so coding to support their Municipal PC's Red Flag Linux. If they are serious about producing quality software, then maybe we would have a stable, usable, if in Chinese, Office Suite.

If you want more information on this try as a starting point.
The link is to an article that gives some insight into how google searches through the hordes and hordes of webpages. And bashes other search engines.
Note to submitter: while brevity may be the soul of wit try to remember we haven't read the article yet and need just a little more information.
Well, I dunno if the pop-up are gone or not -- I can't get to it through websense (proxy/filter) at work. :/
Will they automatically create restore partition ?
silly, silly boy.
Man, I hope yahoo stays afloat. Otherwise I'd have to force my brain to think of something other than ping yahoo.com to test connectivity.

That's great for tadpoles. Human still might need them (bionic eyes).
If true, that's quite a double edged sword - avoid death, to cause it later.
Shouldn't that be to cause it sooner?
