I acutally happen to own both the pirated region 1 copy and the original region 5? copy. I had my cousin acutally sent me both and because I am a big collector with animes I have both a region 5 dvd player and a region 1 dvd player. However my region 1 dvd player is hooked up to a bigger sound system. So yes the studio did receive my 50$ US dollars for my legit japanese copy of it.
Would you really have faith in someone with a handle like Gobbles? I know there have been some weird ones in the past. But Gobbles?
HAHAHA I can almost piss in my pants just trying to say the name out loud....
Anyhow for those of you who know how. You guys know how snort works. How a worm can fool your ethernet card not to display what packets it's being sent out is a little silly don't you think?
for those of you who even know what snort is... or for you windows guys the Network monitor. Sniff your own packets from a freshly booted system. Dont log on to aim or any webpages.. and start playing your mp3 with your favorite mp3 player and start sniffing your packets:)
I'd doubt many of you will find a worm snooping around anywhere.
Eh mis wrote.. was talking about integrated scsi controllers in the motherboard.. then you wouldn't saturate the pci bus. You would saturate the system bus.
And on high end systems if you ever open one up (like the sun e10ks) they have a proprietary interface cards and can easy handle the bandwidth for most usage.
Now looking at the scsi subsystem. A scsi subsystem does not saturate the pci bus if you're doing intensive I/O transfer between devices on the Scsi controller itself. The only time you're going to have that problem (well an obvious one at least) is if you don't have enough ram and you're constantly swapping between ram and hard disk and even then if you tell me a high end system is going to be pressed with intensive i/o transfer for swap I'd say you're probably abusing the life span of the system.
now let's say you have a gigabyte ethernet card taht connects directly to your scsi controller. Again I see no reason why the pci bus would get saturated because the Gigabit controller would simply be talkign along the scsi controller's bus and sticking the data to a scsi hard drive. (again we're talkinga bout high end cards on high end systems. not the ones you an me where we mix ide and scsi together).
So I apologize for the previous misposting of information and I hope this clarifies what I'm talking about.
And yes... they do have pci Geforce 4MXs ( I think PNY makes em)
Whatever that guy said about the SCSI and pci...
is ummm a bit off...
that only happens when you have a scsi controller integrated with you pci bus...
and if you have a slow scsi controller one that runs at 33mhz.. then yer not going to slow down your system bus.
But yes they do sell teh Geforce 4 MXs in a pci version you can buy a few of teh ATIs too but nvidia has better driver support.
to those of you who love to comment without really reading it here's a recap.
How blind surf... there's an animated character called phoebe that'll read out the text of the webpage (shudder to think about how it'll read the non properly encoded html pages... cuz I know We ALL adhere to proper html coding nowadays:))
The lil bugger will also read emails for you so yes it supposedly works for blind people.
He also believes he can get a patent on something called a Web Browser.
He believes Harvard will accept him because he wrote a "Web Browser".
As I'm sure most of you seen the 780000 lines of code. I'll tack it on with his quote.. "I didn't expect it to be that good". Which in my mind spells... "I took the mozilla open source and I actualy downloaded all the plugins before hand"
I'm sorry but being an Avid MS developer (yes I'm not hard core.. but I will use textpad for the dirty stuff) I love Visual Studio and I can tell you it doesn't get any lazier then that.. and EVEN SO... there is NO WAY IN HELL
I can spit out 780000 lines of workable code in 18 months (Including all the shitty comments that MS puts in)
I mean 780000 lines of code is RIDICULOUS...
A game I wrote in Assembly was only 50000 lines of code and that took me 8 months! (I wrote the game SIMON for those of you that are curious... With CGA graphics and Sound!!!:-P)
Speaking of which.. anybody know how many lines Phoenix Browser is?
Yea I've been waiting for this game since the original release date of nov 25... then dec 15... then dec 24 then dec 30 then jan 3 then jan 14
and the funny thing is it's Jan 10th and the Game hasn't even gone Gold yet.
I have a feeling this is going to be like a Daikatana.
You know I've always heard the linux guys constantly complain about how stupid the MS guys are... Yet there's irony in this..
Going by the logic that MS guys are stupid you should infer that MS guys wouldn't have the knowledge to write a virus... IE stupid people can't write somewhat hard programs. (p -> q logic)
so that leaves us with the supposed "smart" people or the linux people. That must mean because the "stupid" MS people can't write viruses it must be all the linux people that are writing Windows viruses.
Now if you look at it from that stand point. If you retarded linux people would Stop writing viruses for Us Windows people, you wouldn't have to bitch about how windows is soo insecure.
Here's another bit of irony. You notice how everyone here bitches about how insecure windows is.. how MS software is crap. Honestly people, if you are all using open office with your flavor of linux WHY THE FLYING FUCK WOULD YOU CARE IF WINDOWS IS INSECURE! Oh wait what is this? You guys are all hypocrites because you all still use windows?!?!?
Go Figure
BTW i think someone should make a website like that... a spinning globe taht displays where hackers are popping up from..
that would be a good water cooler conversation here at work.
I see alot of crap being modded up to 4-5
and alot of them are just stupid comments that really aren't informative. Like 92392409 various comments about..
"what's the point of this it adds no security.."
and you have a modder come along and be like
"oh look at that.. he sounds like he said somethign 34293049203 people have said so I'm going to mod this to 5 because I find it interesting"
Anyhow all you guys do is bitch... Bitch this bitch that.. everything is BITCH BITCH BITCH. linux runs perfectly fine on a 386... and I assure you.. you won't have ANY problems with the new palladium bios on yer good ol' 386 running debian. You know what?... you can even use a brand new p4 3.2 Ghz too in case the 386 is running too slowly for your tastes.. Guess what... no paladium bios on that either.
in agreeing with the guys who are the "wall people":-P
he also suggest the heat pipe solution which is also completely stupid to the average user.
Alot of average users do not realize that a heatpipe solution condenses alot of water on top of your cpu. Sure your processor will be cool and your computer quiet.
But I can argue it's even quieter when your computer stops working and you can't turn it on anymore.
I believe the GFX will actaully sustain that high FPS.... however like the previous person who blinks alot mentioned it's kinda silly:)
But then that goes back to the old disagreement (almost as old as the MS vs Linux camp)
where how good the details were.. how does image quality look and all that.
I bet if you turned off all the textures and ran q3 in wireframe mode I bet my Cirrus Logic 4 megs vram (that's right folks.. VRAM!!! not some cheap SDRAM crap they put in these new cards) can run q3 at 150fps:)
Anyhow on another point.. (and here's a tip for all you beginner FPS players) Benchmarks are stupid.. As any decent gamer knows when yer playing these FPS games... you turn off all details... turn off all that maximum image quality shit so you can get the advantage over a newb who has maximum detail and is busy admiring the view. I may have a ge3.. but I RARELY ever test the limits of my card.. if you'd look at my screen.. you'd see like big squares (not polygons) running around...
Why you ask?... cuz big blocky squares are easier to hit then high resolution anti aliased polygons:)
You're a non profit organization..
why the hell would you even care whether or not
you're using linux or windows.
"One of the keys to cutting costs is the fact that we charge per server rather than per user as Microsoft does," he said. (stupid trustix guy)
Plus what the trustix guy said was wrong. Of course windows charges per server. They've been doing that since the NT 3.5. And for any windows Sysadmins you know what I'm talking about because windows will ask you what type of license server you wish to run when you install.
To waste soo much money on an IBM box with a Trustix Configuration is stupid.
I agree with the guy about the 4 zone fire wall too. Who the hell would hack a site like that and even then talk about over kill.
Now I would find it more respectable if they said due to lack of funding we ran our web/email servers on a 486 running a lite flavor of Linux. That'd be cool and economically feasible(and you'd be hard pressed to find a 486 that would run MS exchange 2000:)) I've seen a 486 box process enough emails for like 50 people and still run web services.. (I dont expect THAT many people to be logging into the site for suicide support... but that may be me assuming too much)
This is just plain win2k bashing and it's stupid
on
Win2k Cheaper than Linux
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
How many of you are acutally over 15 yrs old and work for a large sized company? No we don't care about the small companies... We care about the mid to large size companies that own well over 98% of the worlds capital (scary isn't it)
And I think the article was totally retarded because it was dealing with a stupid issue anyway. The simple fact is you use the system that most suits your needs. For your core system you will run a UNIX system (talkinga bout for a large/med firm ie more the 1000 people). not linux, not windows. For your desktops you'd probably run windows as oppose to linux.
now I work for the third largest bank in the world and I can tell you exactly what the TCO considerations are and why we're moving to winXP server base on some of the workstation servers.
All user/workstation servers ARE going to winxp no matter what. Why? because all the desktop workstations are going to be Windows XP. The TCO of running a WinXP server with WinXP workstation is INFINITELY better then running a WinXP desktop with a Linux backend or vice versus. Imagine a Nix guru trying to click his way through a windows server.... Shit... I'd be scared to even imagine the down time when something breaks.. ("G'damn windows.. where's the stupid control panel..") That an why the hell would your user base need to use linux? Can you imagine an investment banker trying to make a powerpoint presentation on linux? Everyone is soo used to windows already if you had them learn linux.. my god would the costs jump immediately.
btw if windows were done for the backend core servers I'd still can see the TOC being lower then linux. Of course no sane company would run their trading systems on a windows box so that's a completely moot point. What all you ignorant 15 yr olds are talking about is the stupid shit... like installing linux from a boot cd or some stupid shit like that... Name one big company that willl spend a million dollars on a server and then worry about sticking in a boot disk to install an OS... (for a million dollars that damn thing better have an OS in there) so no the TOC doesn't include stupid stuff like that.... but when you talk about maintaining a system. Do you have even the foggiest idea how much sun charges for support?... it's like 10k$ / hour.... windows charges what? $400/ hour ? avg Nix admin (good one..) about 100k$.. avg win admin about 80k$... and the thing is I'm never goign to bring linux into this. and that article was retarded for that. A large firm will never consider linux as it's core backend (except for like webservers) simply because they have the money to purchase the sun boxes with the sun high quality support. This thread always turns into a Win vs Linux bash and honestly commando Taco why do you bother posting these threads because people obviously don't give the informative responses like they used to.
In the Eula that specifically says
MS will download automatically download
into your system whatever files it wants
Perhaps MS looks at yer partition to see
if you have linux installed before giving
you that version of EULA because I sure as
hell can't find what people are talkinga bout
The only thing I did see is of course.. if you
didn't buy windows 2000 you are in violation
blablablalbla that's been in the EULA from way
back.. any how all you server people using win2k
server stop complaining about the browser/OS
issue... if you use your server to browse the
web You are definitely putting yourself at a
greater risk Regardless of OS.
Anyhow that EULA if anything is more of a
Anti Piracy feature. How many of you have
Paid for windows? (Raise your hands)
What 1 maybe 2?
So in essence even though it's software you have
to pay for.. I doubt many of you have
so in that sense it's pretty much free like
linux. And since most of you warez kiddies
out there just praise linux mostly cuz the
various programs for it are free... I really
don't see a purpose of you whining.
Better yet are those people who continue to use
windows yet complain about it all the time
For god sakes stop using the OS then if yer
gonna whine all the time about it.
what's the difference between SMS and text messaging?
I know I ahve to pay 10 cents per message receiveed for text messaging with ATT... but i dont think ATT has SMS.
Dunno.. just confused someone clarify?
How many people out there are REAL Windows Admins? Seriously? I bet not that many are true windows admins. Using windows does not qualify you as an admin. I'll admit I'm very weak on my nix admin but that's because I don't bother learning about it. In my mind Windows 2k can be just as good an OS. I bet many of you don't know that Microsoft's knowledge base acutally keeps track of all it's bugs and patches for them before they stick it on Windows Update for the rest of the masses. I bet many of you don't know that microsoft has a tool called hfnetchk... what does it do?.. It'll download the LATEST patches that microsoft has available for you to use. It'll check your system to see what patches are installed and what aren't and give you a report telling you which article # in MS knowledge base you can find the patch for you problem. More tools you want?... How about Qchain... (which i know many of you don't know about either) that lets the user install multiple patches WITHOUT rebooting your system multiple times. For IIS Windows has IISlockd.. which many wanna-be admins didn't bother finding out during the time when nimda worms were going crazy. And the list goes on I can easily list pages worth of other tools that windows has that most people don't know about because they're ignorant. If anything I'd say windows has done a wonderful job by making people lazy.
But let's take a step back. I bet many of you are saying pfft the Nix machines have this and that tool. Think about that for a moment.. why would a multibillion dollar corporation, who have a million times more resources then the average linux programmer, not bother to make a similar tool for windows if it's so useful? Kinda defies logic doesn't it especially since nowadays with IBM's backing of linux MS needs to compete performance and feature wise even more (or are you going to tell me that MS has a stranglehold on IBM?).
So before anyone else goes on with the typical. . "wat you expect form MS"
read up about what MS really has and acutally maintain an intellectual conversation
Eh... Who cares.. I personally don't have time to give a shit about downloading every patch every day.... so in my eyes it really doens't matter if MS comes out with a patch like a month later why? (btw on my monthly clicks on the windows update I was pleasantly surprised to see that service pack 3 is out:)).. because I don't spend all day browsing all the pages to find every single stupid little bug on my OS (I do have better things to do.... ie... Porn is acutally more enjoyable then looking for bugs and patches or better yet.. Actually taking a walk outside without bringing the laptop!!! What a concept!! )and getting every single patch for it. And the only computer that is on all the time is my server... which does nothing except NAT.. then again... I guess alot of em/. spend 23 hours a day on the computer so i guess it is important then
What matters is of course that I 0wnz0r J00 AllZ!
Sit down and code.. I dont know about you buy sitting down and coding isn't nearly as much fun as making fun of your representative or GASP pull a Jesse Ventura and become governor! If a stupid wrestling guy can become governor I'm more then sure there's a few coders out there that can be part of congress rather then "sit there and write the next napster".. and btw... napster/gnutella really wasn't the "next big thing".. It was however one of the most annoying things that me as an network admin had to take care of... Why?... because I don't like the fact that my routers were constantly close to 100% usage and my bandwidth was floating near 90% utilization. Did i mention the various calls I got from annoyed tards for the "slow" service?
Which one of you acutally have worked in a big firm? Larger firms traditionally will pay less money to their IT staffs then smaller companies. Even during the "dot.com" boom not alot of larger companies were flooding their IT people with tons of money. Goldman Sachs for instance kept their salaries pretty stable with the only benefit being that they got a nice bonus at the end of the year based on performance. To say that IT is undervalued, I don't believe so. An IT guy will not bring in money for the firm. Unless it's a computer consulting firm (those guys were overpaid because during the dot.com boom there were plenty of clients to fatten up their wallets). But besides that IT is a Cost to the firm and not a Money maker. It's a simple rule of business if somethign costs more then you're making you cut it. You don't pay someone more if they're not helping you bring in the money. Plus workers from foreign countries are much cheaper. It's simple supply and demand.
I'd like to say it is unfortunate in this country that we happen to be primarily a bi-partisan country. But first off I'd like to repeal certain misunderstandings people have about this government. It is not American democracy that this government is built upon. This is an American Republic. We are not and will never be a true democracy because as the Greeks have shown way back when a true democracy does not work. To the person that shot back the 1st and 2nd amendment rights. The issue has NOTHING to do with the 1st and 2nd amendments. The FBI trying to grab personal information is not your right to bitch about it. If you had mentioned the 4th amendment at least then you'd be on topic.
Also with the voting system. Only the presidency is voted upon by the electoral college. Not your state senators, governors, mayors and so forth.
As with voting, I completely agree that it's hard to keep up with all the candidates. And I'm talking about a lower scale then the big election (the Presidency). But here's the thing you should really only need to follow your local candidates. Why would you even care about who's running in another state? In that sense you can follow just a few candidates that are running for the senate (because the senators are the ones that represent your voice in the federal government). Here's another reason why you should vote for the local offices and not just the presidency. The US government contrary to popular belief does not truly run on the "Federal" level. Each state has it's own little government, and the states government is the one that's really in charge. For example, Nevada's recent fling with legalizing marijuana. Are you really telling me that the Federal government supports this? Going by what you guys say then the voter really doesn't have a say in the issue because the "Fat Cats" have forced us to do their bidding. However the Nevada bill to legalize marijuana is gaining strong support among the voters. And if it does pass yes marijuana will be legal in Nevada against the government's wishes. Why? because this nation is built upon free states. And it's the states that make up the federal government. And guess who makes up the states? Definitely not the "elite" few in congress. They are the masses. The workers. The people who vote.
For those wishing to find more information about the candidates. As ironic as it seems, the information is to listen to the candidate themselves. You hear about what they wish to accomplish and you vote for them based on that. You hear the other candidates point of view to judge and see how truthful the candidate your evaluating is. And that is why there are terms in office. If you think your candidate didn't fulfill his promise that person will no longer be around next year because he didn't fulfill his promises. Which is the main reason why Jesse Ventura (yes the wrestler) won that election. His opponent didn't bother to go with the issues and mud slinged instead.
Answering questions about how the Presidential election works. It's like this... I totally agree that the two parties will choose the two candidates for you. However before those two candidates are chosen, they are actually voted upon by people who have been voted upon by the voters. Also on common sense alone why would a party put a candidate that they know has no chance of winning? The party will try and select the best possible candidate it has just to make sure the people will vote for him.
Anyhow my point is this may not be the best of all systems but it does have alot of checks and balances in place.
And for those of you who do vote. Then I tip my hats off becuase you guys do deserve to complain and that is the American way:)
If you dont like laws such as the patriot act that give such broad powers to the FBI... you should have voted in the various elections. If you did.. congratulations.. if you didn't then you have absolutely no right to talk about your sense of privacy. Voting really is alot more powerful then people think it is. Granted we run on a republic. But even then we still have the power to change legislation. If the government starts thinking... "crap.. the people don't want this and I'm not going to get reelected next term".. guess what the members of the government will do:)
Point is.. I don't want to sound racist or anything but take a look at how the US intervenes with Isreal and Palenstine. Two countries with not much significance to us in the US (I am grossly simplifying and I honestly don't care about the justification that comes with "but we're a superpower and we should look after the world").. however the jewish population has one of the strongest turnouts when it comes to vote. In NY for instance pretty much 100% of the jewish population votes. Compared to like a measley what 10-40% of hispanics and asians?
Anyhow this country is built on the vote. If you don't like a legislation find out who supports such legislation and put up a website to try and convince people not to vote for that person come reelection.
... since she can't move her eyes that much... you do this...
when her head is laid on the bed
because she can't move and her eyes don't move much.. you want to angle the eye scanner at a slight angle away from her normal looking position.. so in case she is in trouble while sleeping.. she can open up her eyes and look towards the eye scanner...
because the eye scanner doesn't really need to do any real pattern recognition it doesn't require like complicated software... it just needs to pick up that an image of a big circle and a little circle is exactly looking at the sensor.

As any decent gamer knows when yer playing these FPS games... you turn off all details... turn off all that maximum image quality shit so you can get the advantage over a newb who has maximum detail and is busy admiring the view. I may have a ge3
Why you ask?... cuz big blocky squares are easier to hit then high resolution anti aliased polygons
You're a non profit organization.. why the hell would you even care whether or not you're using linux or windows. "One of the keys to cutting costs is the fact that we charge per server rather than per user as Microsoft does," he said. (stupid trustix guy) Plus what the trustix guy said was wrong. Of course windows charges per server. They've been doing that since the NT 3.5. And for any windows Sysadmins you know what I'm talking about because windows will ask you what type of license server you wish to run when you install. To waste soo much money on an IBM box with a Trustix Configuration is stupid. I agree with the guy about the 4 zone fire wall too. Who the hell would hack a site like that and even then talk about over kill. Now I would find it more respectable if they said due to lack of funding we ran our web/email servers on a 486 running a lite flavor of Linux. That'd be cool and economically feasible(and you'd be hard pressed to find a 486 that would run MS exchange 2000 :)) I've seen a 486 box process enough emails for like 50 people and still run web services.. (I dont expect THAT many people to be logging into the site for suicide support... but that may be me assuming too much)
How many of you are acutally over 15 yrs old and work for a large sized company? No we don't care about the small companies... We care about the mid to large size companies that own well over 98% of the worlds capital (scary isn't it) And I think the article was totally retarded because it was dealing with a stupid issue anyway. The simple fact is you use the system that most suits your needs. For your core system you will run a UNIX system (talkinga bout for a large/med firm ie more the 1000 people). not linux, not windows. For your desktops you'd probably run windows as oppose to linux. now I work for the third largest bank in the world and I can tell you exactly what the TCO considerations are and why we're moving to winXP server base on some of the workstation servers. All user/workstation servers ARE going to winxp no matter what. Why? because all the desktop workstations are going to be Windows XP. The TCO of running a WinXP server with WinXP workstation is INFINITELY better then running a WinXP desktop with a Linux backend or vice versus. Imagine a Nix guru trying to click his way through a windows server.... Shit ... I'd be scared to even imagine the down time when something breaks.. ("G'damn windows.. where's the stupid control panel..") That an why the hell would your user base need to use linux? Can you imagine an investment banker trying to make a powerpoint presentation on linux? Everyone is soo used to windows already if you had them learn linux .. my god would the costs jump immediately.
btw if windows were done for the backend core servers I'd still can see the TOC being lower then linux. Of course no sane company would run their trading systems on a windows box so that's a completely moot point. What all you ignorant 15 yr olds are talking about is the stupid shit... like installing linux from a boot cd or some stupid shit like that... Name one big company that willl spend a million dollars on a server and then worry about sticking in a boot disk to install an OS... (for a million dollars that damn thing better have an OS in there) so no the TOC doesn't include stupid stuff like that.... but when you talk about maintaining a system. Do you have even the foggiest idea how much sun charges for support?... it's like 10k$ / hour.... windows charges what? $400/ hour ? avg Nix admin (good one..) about 100k$ .. avg win admin about 80k$ ... and the thing is I'm never goign to bring linux into this. and that article was retarded for that. A large firm will never consider linux as it's core backend (except for like webservers) simply because they have the money to purchase the sun boxes with the sun high quality support. This thread always turns into a Win vs Linux bash and honestly commando Taco why do you bother posting these threads because people obviously don't give the informative responses like they used to.
In the Eula that specifically says
.. any how all you server people using win2k
... if you use your server to browse the
MS will download automatically download
into your system whatever files it wants
Perhaps MS looks at yer partition to see
if you have linux installed before giving
you that version of EULA because I sure as
hell can't find what people are talkinga bout
The only thing I did see is of course.. if you
didn't buy windows 2000 you are in violation
blablablalbla that's been in the EULA from way
back
server stop complaining about the browser/OS
issue
web You are definitely putting yourself at a
greater risk Regardless of OS.
Anyhow that EULA if anything is more of a
Anti Piracy feature. How many of you have
Paid for windows? (Raise your hands)
What 1 maybe 2?
So in essence even though it's software you have
to pay for.. I doubt many of you have
so in that sense it's pretty much free like
linux. And since most of you warez kiddies
out there just praise linux mostly cuz the
various programs for it are free... I really
don't see a purpose of you whining.
Better yet are those people who continue to use
windows yet complain about it all the time
For god sakes stop using the OS then if yer
gonna whine all the time about it.
what's the difference between SMS and text messaging? I know I ahve to pay 10 cents per message receiveed for text messaging with ATT ... but i dont think ATT has SMS.
Dunno.. just confused someone clarify?
How many people out there are REAL Windows Admins? Seriously? I bet not that many are true windows admins. Using windows does not qualify you as an admin. I'll admit I'm very weak on my nix admin but that's because I don't bother learning about it. In my mind Windows 2k can be just as good an OS. I bet many of you don't know that Microsoft's knowledge base acutally keeps track of all it's bugs and patches for them before they stick it on Windows Update for the rest of the masses. I bet many of you don't know that microsoft has a tool called hfnetchk ... what does it do?.. It'll download the LATEST patches that microsoft has available for you to use. It'll check your system to see what patches are installed and what aren't and give you a report telling you which article # in MS knowledge base you can find the patch for you problem. More tools you want?... How about Qchain... (which i know many of you don't know about either) that lets the user install multiple patches WITHOUT rebooting your system multiple times. For IIS Windows has IISlockd .. which many wanna-be admins didn't bother finding out during the time when nimda worms were going crazy. And the list goes on I can easily list pages worth of other tools that windows has that most people don't know about because they're ignorant. If anything I'd say windows has done a wonderful job by making people lazy.
But let's take a step back. I bet many of you are saying pfft the Nix machines have this and that tool. Think about that for a moment.. why would a multibillion dollar corporation, who have a million times more resources then the average linux programmer, not bother to make a similar tool for windows if it's so useful? Kinda defies logic doesn't it especially since nowadays with IBM's backing of linux MS needs to compete performance and feature wise even more (or are you going to tell me that MS has a stranglehold on IBM?).
So before anyone else goes on with the typical. . "wat you expect form MS"
read up about what MS really has and acutally maintain an intellectual conversation
Eh... Who cares.. I personally don't have time to give a shit about downloading every patch every day.... so in my eyes it really doens't matter if MS comes out with a patch like a month later why? (btw on my monthly clicks on the windows update I was pleasantly surprised to see that service pack 3 is out :)).. because I don't spend all day browsing all the pages to find every single stupid little bug on my OS (I do have better things to do.... ie... Porn is acutally more enjoyable then looking for bugs and patches or better yet.. Actually taking a walk outside without bringing the laptop!!! What a concept!! )and getting every single patch for it. And the only computer that is on all the time is my server... which does nothing except NAT.. then again... I guess alot of em /. spend 23 hours a day on the computer so i guess it is important then
What matters is of course that I 0wnz0r J00 AllZ!
Sit down and code.. I dont know about you buy sitting down and coding isn't nearly as much fun as making fun of your representative or GASP pull a Jesse Ventura and become governor! If a stupid wrestling guy can become governor I'm more then sure there's a few coders out there that can be part of congress rather then "sit there and write the next napster" .. and btw... napster/gnutella really wasn't the "next big thing".. It was however one of the most annoying things that me as an network admin had to take care of... Why?... because I don't like the fact that my routers were constantly close to 100% usage and my bandwidth was floating near 90% utilization. Did i mention the various calls I got from annoyed tards for the "slow" service?
Which one of you acutally have worked in a big firm? Larger firms traditionally will pay less money to their IT staffs then smaller companies. Even during the "dot.com" boom not alot of larger companies were flooding their IT people with tons of money. Goldman Sachs for instance kept their salaries pretty stable with the only benefit being that they got a nice bonus at the end of the year based on performance. To say that IT is undervalued, I don't believe so. An IT guy will not bring in money for the firm. Unless it's a computer consulting firm (those guys were overpaid because during the dot.com boom there were plenty of clients to fatten up their wallets). But besides that IT is a Cost to the firm and not a Money maker. It's a simple rule of business if somethign costs more then you're making you cut it. You don't pay someone more if they're not helping you bring in the money. Plus workers from foreign countries are much cheaper. It's simple supply and demand.
I'd like to say it is unfortunate in this country that we happen to be primarily a bi-partisan country. But first off I'd like to repeal certain misunderstandings people have about this government. It is not American democracy that this government is built upon. This is an American Republic. We are not and will never be a true democracy because as the Greeks have shown way back when a true democracy does not work. To the person that shot back the 1st and 2nd amendment rights. The issue has NOTHING to do with the 1st and 2nd amendments. The FBI trying to grab personal information is not your right to bitch about it. If you had mentioned the 4th amendment at least then you'd be on topic. Also with the voting system. Only the presidency is voted upon by the electoral college. Not your state senators, governors, mayors and so forth. As with voting, I completely agree that it's hard to keep up with all the candidates. And I'm talking about a lower scale then the big election (the Presidency). But here's the thing you should really only need to follow your local candidates. Why would you even care about who's running in another state? In that sense you can follow just a few candidates that are running for the senate (because the senators are the ones that represent your voice in the federal government). Here's another reason why you should vote for the local offices and not just the presidency. The US government contrary to popular belief does not truly run on the "Federal" level. Each state has it's own little government, and the states government is the one that's really in charge. For example, Nevada's recent fling with legalizing marijuana. Are you really telling me that the Federal government supports this? Going by what you guys say then the voter really doesn't have a say in the issue because the "Fat Cats" have forced us to do their bidding. However the Nevada bill to legalize marijuana is gaining strong support among the voters. And if it does pass yes marijuana will be legal in Nevada against the government's wishes. Why? because this nation is built upon free states. And it's the states that make up the federal government. And guess who makes up the states? Definitely not the "elite" few in congress. They are the masses. The workers. The people who vote. For those wishing to find more information about the candidates. As ironic as it seems, the information is to listen to the candidate themselves. You hear about what they wish to accomplish and you vote for them based on that. You hear the other candidates point of view to judge and see how truthful the candidate your evaluating is. And that is why there are terms in office. If you think your candidate didn't fulfill his promise that person will no longer be around next year because he didn't fulfill his promises. Which is the main reason why Jesse Ventura (yes the wrestler) won that election. His opponent didn't bother to go with the issues and mud slinged instead. Answering questions about how the Presidential election works. It's like this... I totally agree that the two parties will choose the two candidates for you. However before those two candidates are chosen, they are actually voted upon by people who have been voted upon by the voters. Also on common sense alone why would a party put a candidate that they know has no chance of winning? The party will try and select the best possible candidate it has just to make sure the people will vote for him. Anyhow my point is this may not be the best of all systems but it does have alot of checks and balances in place. And for those of you who do vote. Then I tip my hats off becuase you guys do deserve to complain and that is the American way :)
If you dont like laws such as the patriot act that give such broad powers to the FBI... you should have voted in the various elections. If you did.. congratulations .. if you didn't then you have absolutely no right to talk about your sense of privacy. Voting really is alot more powerful then people think it is. Granted we run on a republic. But even then we still have the power to change legislation. If the government starts thinking... "crap.. the people don't want this and I'm not going to get reelected next term" .. guess what the members of the government will do :)
Point is.. I don't want to sound racist or anything but take a look at how the US intervenes with Isreal and Palenstine. Two countries with not much significance to us in the US (I am grossly simplifying and I honestly don't care about the justification that comes with "but we're a superpower and we should look after the world").. however the jewish population has one of the strongest turnouts when it comes to vote. In NY for instance pretty much 100% of the jewish population votes. Compared to like a measley what 10-40% of hispanics and asians?
Anyhow this country is built on the vote. If you don't like a legislation find out who supports such legislation and put up a website to try and convince people not to vote for that person come reelection.
... since she can't move her eyes that much ... you do this...
when her head is laid on the bed
because she can't move and her eyes don't move much.. you want to angle the eye scanner at a slight angle away from her normal looking position.. so in case she is in trouble while sleeping.. she can open up her eyes and look towards the eye scanner...
because the eye scanner doesn't really need to do any real pattern recognition it doesn't require like complicated software... it just needs to pick up that an image of a big circle and a little circle is exactly looking at the sensor.
HOW DID YOU PREDICT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER GETTING HIT WITH AIRPLANES!!! OMGOMGOMG http://www.craigslist.org/best/1750258.html That's sooooooooooo freaky!!!! :)
of course this could be like that thingy with the 20 $ bill but hey why not... another conspiracy theory never hurt hehe :-D
I went to NYU and a bunch of my other friends in the same comp sci class met a kid by the name of Gabe that looked EXACTLY like you. It's such a striking resemblance that I wondered if you have a younger sibling or perhaps a close relative that also attended NYU from the years 97-01
