My son likes to chew on my DVDs. So if I leave one in the player by mistake, and he happens to be around, he will play with the player, but eventually he gets around to putting 1 -2 bite marks on it.
He does not understand that he is hosing the DVDs. Thus, either I keep forking out $20 everytime he does this, or I go back to Video Tapes. I am certain DVDs are more profitable for the industry than tapes.
I have not bought any dvd backup system yet because they are so expensive but I plan to. I certainly hope they see that I need this and am not a thief. Unless they are willing to provide free replacements!?
Yes but why? We know this to be a NEW feature on the P4. So its kind of silly to proclaim today a failure Athlons have had for an eternity!? IIRC, P3 , P2, P1, K6 and K7 as well.
I do not like hiden encryption. I like to know everything is working and not get to confortable. Don't want to be cought ignoring that lock icon on your browser these days.
In China they already play and sell mostly Reagion 1 (NA) DVDs. It should be obvious to anyone that given the choice always buy the region 1 DVD player. China does not care, they don't make much on movies.
So what good is a coded DVD when the players can play them anyway, one way or the other.
The administration has yet to produce evidence to make me believe what they believed, even if wrong. I can't see how they came to their conclusions based on what they have presented.
Dude please. We've all heard it before. We KNOW he HAD them because we gave them to him. The issue was not HAD but HAVE. So what he has the ability to house, use, distribute WMD, we all know that. But does he have any NOW. Appearantly that answer was no, and still is no.
War could have and should have been justified for legitimate and available reasons. Manufacturing a reason just removes credibility.
Well Darl did the same thing. He sold off his UK operations as a way to boost the bottom line. Reducing expenses so drastically usually is an indication that they cut employment or sold buildings and closed down shops. It removes expenses immediately, but it also removes future revenue and especially growth.
Nevertheless, shareholders are often short sighted and think this is so good that the CEO gets a hefty bonus...just before he bolts for a new company.
These days? You are obviously youhg. I could write 10 pages of this crap from my mere 33 years of existance.
I changed from a residential phone to a business phone when I got ISDN because they forced me to. Ameritech mailed me a refund check, then a bill with a late payment fee. Neither had an address or any indication that one was business and one was residential.
About 10 years ago, every medical bill was always rejected by my insurance company, and I had to call them EVERY TIME to get them to accept it, and call the hospital to get them to resend it.
Fortunately after 3 years of tracking my credit union statements to the penny, I only found two mistakes and they were both from my handwriting where they thought a 3 was and 8 or vice versa and I lost/gained a nickel.
Perhaps I am somewhat of a socialist but whatever service the majority of the people use should be highly regulated by the government to do away with this kind of crap. OTOH, any control the government takes seems to just end up in the hands of lobbiests...
Add to that the notion of the replaceable graphics card. When in fact the graphics card is usefull only about as long as the processor, so they might as well be built in. Add to that the fact that the processor is typically maxed out for the gamers mother board, we might as well all be buying expensive Playstations or some such.
Note that today though we are finally reaching the place where we have superflous processor power and this might finally not be true. Or I'm still a sheep...
but apparantly this is only for the media, not the hardware that reads it. so this is not FAT software, but the act of pre-formatting media to the FAT format that is patented, or at least that is being enforced.
I presume its an attempt to kill FAT, maybe because MS found some hideous flaw in it they do not want responsibility for. Or maybe simply because they plan to make it easy to migrate to other windows file systems as opposed to Linux which I would expect to the the direction embedded devices would be heading nowadays.(linux)
Well he did say family and friends. Diffucult to be an ass with your own family and so called friends. Equally as difficult to charge family and friends for my help. If I did it for a living I would, but since I do not, it seems improper according to my upbringing.
Describe mathematically "unlimited hit points" please!?
They made an attempt to give it what they perceived to be just that. High regen rate and high hit points and certain immunities.
Probably making it invulnerable would have triggered it to relate to the world in a manner they did not want. Such as its ignorance of attacks since attacks could never harm it.
Alternatly, they wanted to see what would happen. I assume the programmers enjoy the game as well.
Seems though as if this was a mistake they were catching up with slowly, but the players were faster. Also this was the final monster in that game and the next game would come out, so I assume programmers were not working on this game anymore but the next.
Typically the ones that loose the war are not allowed to fly their flags. Anyone that stands against the union of states can be put to death for Treason.
What are people trying to say when they fly that flag? Asside from the racist overtones?
I do believe the confederate flag contributed to our current flag. So flying that flag, especially on the State level is an affront to the USA and those who died to win The Civil War.
I don't think its a violation. Just an unknown implementation. This implementation could add new information to their model which may indeed cause some changes in theory. Perhaps I'm being pedantic. But when all is not known, its hard to call anything a violation.
Interesting. So all I have to do is put a trojan on my computer that requires a key to use. Open up the necessary port, then throw away the key. Now I claim that my computer was hacked and trojaned to a secret key. But I have no true worry because nobody actually knows the key.
But of course this is always the case in US courts. I don't have to in fact claim anything since its all up to prosecution to show I did what they claim.
Not a chance. Much to small for any government involvement. I mean, you have to pay(ola) for government action, and I don't see GameSpy paying anything.
The major organizations have shown that major companies like MS are 'entitled' to domain names similar to their company name, bar none. Thus, their is no need to register for it, no one can take it anyway...
Please. I am not Joe dummy. i use it as a server and its great. I thought to install it on my laptop and sort of convert myself.
Linux sucks with multimedia compared to windows. Windows I can play a DVD with any number of easily installable and functioning programs. Linux I killed myself getting 2 different programs to work. And they still have many issues. I was told to rewrite code if I had a problem. Which i would if I had time but I'm contributing to other open Source programs right now.
Not to mention I also had to compile my own code after I deciphered and modified byte codes to get power management to even thing about working. And its not working fully either. Linux is yet to have a full power management strategy.
It neither ready, nor easy.
Saying it will be in 2-3 years is also a joke unless Redhat or somebody puts some muscle behind multimedia and power management.
I was under the impression that phone companies did not have to respect the DNC list. Thus your statement waaaay down the page on slashdot is the first one to make any sense...

I consider HardOCP a very solid site whenever they get around to doing a review, I believe it to be honest.
But yes, his ego has chased me away and some of his politically incorrect attitudes are offensive. Seems to confuse sensitivity with PC...
Cool, I didn't know what. back when practicallynetworked was worth a shit (around when dslreports first came out) I was their faithfully.
But its whored itself fully and I cant even bear to look at it its soo repleate with ads. Cant even recommend it to people anymore.
Does this guy deserve a 2nd chanse? or does he want to build up and sell this site as well?
Yes but why? We know this to be a NEW feature on the P4. So its kind of silly to proclaim today a failure Athlons have had for an eternity!? IIRC, P3 , P2, P1, K6 and K7 as well.
Thats bullshit.
Alcohol + sugar = massive hangover.
Alcohol - sugar = mild hangover.
The difference is in sugar, not water and yet the hangover effect is drastically changed.
I believe subconciously this is why older folks drink their beverages straight or on the rocks, but rarely fruity tooty.
Notwithstanding alcohol and coffee are both diuretics, and they knock out vitamins.
Was that a form letter?

Lets not forget that satisfying 'ding!' when a popup is blocked. I get a small high every time I hear it.
This happens every 6 months as we all reinstall windows...
;)
On a less serious note, these stories are very important for helping us to understand the credability of the agancies that report them.
