It's actually a representative democracy, which is still a far cry from true democracy. It would be a wonderful world if current bills going through parliament were in the newspaper everyday, and then I could easily vote on those issues.
In a republic, the leaders are either monarchs or elected by an elite group. Of course you could (easily) argue that an elite group controls the elections anyways in the US's 2 party system.
So you're dandy using your broke ass slow 486 DX with separate math co-processor unit. Except for the all important FLOPPY DRIVE which is too slow and must be sped up.
Maybe they could at least upgrade to Windows 3.14 and throw a network card in there (which can be had for less than $20 mind you). Which of course makes the floppy disk pretty much useless, except of course for the once in a blue moon boot disk usage.
In closing, computers without USB ports, or at least the possibility of installing a network card are indeed relics. They may be still in use, but if that's the case, how many files are you transferring to these things on floppy disks that requires such great speed anyways? I mean, the disks that were out around 92 were under 60 megs!
Is your computer 6 years old? Or have you gone out of your way to not buy a board with usb ports?
Floppy drives cost $20 anyways. And another $1 per 1.44 mb. AND they're volatile. Didn't they come out with super drives a while back, met with a quick and terrible demise because they were antiquated? Ditto zip drives and their ilk.
Floppy drives are just about only useful for making boot disks, or transferring files to computing relics. I'm sorry.

They may or may not be smart, but you don't think they're fully aware of their fate and have accepted it?
That must be why everyone there is so happy.
So.. it's gone up since last year. Not down $20.
Thanks, you've really put things into perspective.
You see, the problem with Konqueror is that it's awful.

Naming things such that they are easy to find.
Sadly, I could see that happening.
maybe you should save 'yuor' money with ING direct.
No no, you're not getting what I'm saying here.
Yesterday I worked some amount.
Today, I will work 10% harder than yesterday.
Today I am working 110% as much as yesterday.
You can work 10% harder than you did yesterday. Today you are working 110%.
It doesn't necessarily mean 110% of potential, it can refer to previous efforts.
Pretty easy.
Thunderbird->Tools->Offline & Disk Space->Make the messages in my Inbox available when I am working offline (check).
Then feel free to back up the local files as you please.
Bonus points for saying 'raises an interesting question' rather than 'begs the question'.
You could get a neuros and throw a toshiba 100 gb 2.5" drive in. Pricey, but it sounds like you have some coin to throw around=]
Garcia is our dictator! Listen to him or be smitten.
*sigh* yes, I know that.
I know that old computers can still be useful. What I'm asking is WHY DO YOU NEED A FASTER FLOPPY DRIVE TO DO THESE THINGS?

wait, nevermind, that's stupid.
it has origins in the elevator.

At least puffin's can fly.
A0 by the sounds of it.
Alberta is certainly the anomaly regarding health care. I've never paid a nickel out of my pocket for any health care, except dental.
Or you could just buy it now if it's around?
Why wait if you're aware of what might happen in the future.
You may as well say 'it really pisses me off that if I drive on the opposite side of the highway, I'll die.'
Not to mention.. why did you buy a computer with memory you know you don't want?
Because the united states killed almost all of the natives a long time ago.
Fighting Irish isn't bad imo, it's just a team that (at one point) was irish (maybe), and they fight to win.
irish isn't a slur, maybe if it were the 'Fighting Mc's', then that would be no good.
But it's true, you can't make fun of black people for being black. Even saying 'black culture sucks' will get you labelled as a racist these days.
It could be possible that the amount of energy taken by an energy converted is less work than slugging a battery around.
Talk about picky though.
I don't run, but I'm curious. How is switching shoes everyday good for injuries?
