I am really looking forward to my work upgrading my system to OS X next year and getting rid of 9. OS 9 and previous mac OS's although haveing some nice features SUCK ON THE WEB - sorry it's true. There are so many sites that ie 6 for mac (and yes I tried opera and netscape) can't run properly. I don't have a problem with them using konqueror on nix or with ie on my xp box. And just in case anyone asks - they really are all work related sites - mostly online ordering/print shop sites. Although you can try and tell me its because of the coding of the site - get over it - on OS X with ie (whihc we got to sample on one machine in the office) the sites all work fine and the OS seems a lot more effecient feeling all around so i'm more inclined to blame my mac.
I've been using paypal constantly with ebay - both selling and buying - I even take donations via paypal on my website. I havent had a problem with them at all. I read through some of the old slashdot's on this and it seemed that people who had LOTS of money (ie: more than 1 grand) in there PP account somehow got fucked over but the people like myself who have $100 or less in there at any given time are left alone just fine. Maybe this is something the conspiracy people should look into - like maybe paypal fucks with the people who put alot of money in there at once because they know they can get away with it because the majority of people who run small amounts won't complain and will stick up for PP.
is it just me or would it seem somewhat dumb to buy a M$ product (whihc gives M$ money) for the purpose of installing Linux on it? I understand the people who run the linux xbox site that they want to be able to do that but other than proving you can do - whats the point - why not just stick to linuxfying your dreamcasts whihc is easier and cheeper (and we all know cheeper is better - otherwise we wouldnt be using linux in the first place)
how long before the DMCA starts saying that "counterfit 802.11b hot spots" is like DoS atacks on the WiFi community? I'm sure they'll find somethign wrong with this - even though I think it would be great considering I use an 802.11b wireless connection that sometimes seems to drop its speed when a lot of people are nearby - hhmmm.....
Are you really inerested in some kind of bragging rights to say "yeah I have a T1 look at me" or are you more concerned with bandwidth. If it's thebandwidth it won't matter if its from a split DS-3 or a true T1 as long as your speed is what you need and expect. Besides you could get a DSL line running at 1.7mbs and it would be just as good considering a T1 runs at 1.5mbs anyway.
But I guess i'm just being logical here and forgetting the corporate thinking of:
I totally agree - I just upgraded from my old P2 350 MHz to a P4 1.6GHz (pre-northwood) and although I love the speed and can play all the games I doubt I will NEED a new system for another 3 years at least.
Depending on how there software works - at my current work we use a program called "websense" (normally used to block mp3 and porn sites) but we also block external email sites like yahoo and hotmail - basically they don't want us surfing the net - anyway what I have been doing is basically VCN to my home computer and surf the sites from there. If i'm using SSH2 when I connect does anyone think they would still be able to grab that info since it is not local?
Other variables - I am on a mac connecting to box A (linux) and/or box B (windows)
I think the states focus too much on "marketing" rather than the actual "product" where as other country (like japan) will continue to work on robotics/broadband/etc... without trying to promote it all over the place until there happy with it - while we will promote the hell out of an "idea" before we even make so we get all this funding and deliver nothing (much like the whole boom in nasdaq a couple years ago)
maybe after generations of people pass they will evolve with the ability to withstand the carcinogens and poisons and also have cool cell phones grafted in there heads.:)
or maybe they will just get yelled at by the US more as we continue to contribute to the problem.
Opera has a lot of cool features that I like BUT there statement on being the "fastest" is total BS on linux I find Konqueror WAY faster and on XP I find IE to work the best, on a mac wit 9.2.1 (havent used X) I find IE to work the best all around. Opera is definately cool with registered copy but I have a 1.5mg connection for a reason (I am impatient) and waiting for opera to just open let alone get me from one page to another quicky (since im impatient) isnt worth it.
Honestly. With so many divorces that happen all the time me and my girlfriend just decided it would be better to live together. Why do you need a ring - you could use a necklace just as easily - if you really want something to last forever get a tattoo. I don't see any reason to get married/use a diamond ring - save if your a religious person (ANY religion) and its considered "tradition" although EVERYONE has there OWN "traditions". If you must go diamond though make sure its worth it - because a lot of women DONT give back the ring if you/they change there minds.
If RPG video games like Fallout or Arcanum have taught us anything its that OLDER forgotten technology/magic ALWAYS is/works better than NEW technology/magic.

How can people believe we didn't go to the moon? How else would you explain where the mormons came from?
Actually a real question would be - what do they explain happens to the people/rockets shot into space? That we maybe just toss them up there for fun?
Well they'll soon be gone and dead - but thanks to them we have Limewire, Gnutella, Morphius, etc... etc... etc...

more expensive = better
yeah I hate google because:
1) When I type in my name IT DOESNT SHOW IT!
2) My websites are not listed #1 NO MATTER WHAT YOU TYPE IN!
3) There image search doesn't have PHOTOS OF ME!
4) I hat all other search engines for THE SAME REASONS!
wa wa wa......

another good common sense article - to bad it still wont make that much of a difference.

to bad they bever gave out his account info so I could have started with some cool shit.
Yeah it would be great to see classes such as
"Advanced Dungeon Siege Editor"
"Game Design III: Aurora NwN Toolset"
"Basic Mapping II: World Ed"
Even I would go back to school for that!

BIOS updates - new MB's support updating from winxp
HD repairs - see above or just format from boot cd
isntalling NIC drivers - mine were on cd but windows/linux USUALLY finds them anyway without me even having to use the cd
making bootable CD's - false
