Why do ACs always paint me as a leftist because Bush is a goddamn moron? Old and incorrect? Please. Stop apologizing for the guy. Let him do it, if he can stutter out the words. "Uh..UhUh..UhhhUH UH!"
Why do you think I want Al Gore or Clinton in the White House? I said no such thing.
Oh. Maybe you've bought into the 'two party system', because you're a moron too?
Don't worry Jeb, you qualify for brain flashing, just like the rest of your inbred family.:)
I recall (on/.?) there being some sort of browser plugin that would allow you to mark up sites or comment on site content. All this stuff would be stored on a central server somewhere, and new visitors would get an updated view of the notes made *on the page itself*. Not the MS Smart Tags, but something that would let ME make comments. I do recall that there was a hoopla about trolls, interference in page design and the usual "leave my site alone!" hysterical mothers...
What became of this software/plugin - or was/is it google?
I used to sell tax software at a large office supply chain. I recall people being perpetually pissed off that they wouldn't release the state tax portion until long after the federal version, that they both cost upwards of 20 bucks, and that they were difficult to use, got the results wrong, and basically messed things up. I had to deal with lots of angry small business owners, and middle class doityerselfers.
I don't see why anyone should use this stuff - I've heard that some states are going to go to a web based form, and bypass all the tax software. That would be great; as tax payers (you pay for congresswhores to write this crap), you should demand tax code that is accessable and understandable to those without a 4 year degree in economics/accounting/tax law, and
For twenty some bucks, this software fits in the 'you get what you paid for' catagory. Don't use it. Do your own, or find an accountant.
Of course, there are lots of people that don't pay taxes, protesting the size of the tax code, taxation without representation, the fact that you're taxed about 800 times for the same thing or transaction, financing the newest "War on (Fill in Blank)" goverment cash cow, subsidies to multi-national corporations, and payments to future 'terrorists'. You could go that route.
It helps to have a congresswhore in your back pocket, though.
As a 'big city' guy who's moved to a small town, I agree. Basically, if they see it on TV it's like they found it in the bible. I spend about 30 min to an hour every day 'educating' my coworkers on current events and how they are missing the 'big picture' on their big screen TV.
I lived in Minneapolis for 10+ years, recovering from my upbringing in a small town. Thank god for Minneapolis; hardly a big city, it's the reason I have some sense in my head.
I am spreading a counter-culture here, slowly, gently. Converting the farmers daughters one by one...
In a place where TV is the only consistent entertainment, you result in a lot of shitty, market-fed ideas. Sadly, even the adults act like its fucking high school, and Cindy didn't ask them to the prom. Never do I see more close-minded people than in small towns. (There are some crazy hippies too - they are the fun ones...)
I am intregued by some of these games that have come out; call me a cheap bastard, but I don't want a monthly bill for something that I would play 10 hours a month if that.
Wasn't there a p2p MMPORG that apppeared on/. last year some time? IIRC, it was not looking good.
p2p could mean a free MMPORG; perhaps you pay for updates with new features, items goals and such. All players would have to have the same version to play.
I thought that Thief would make a pretty sweet MMPORG - Sneaking into someones house and stealing their gold pieces/objects duh art. Fencing them to the highest bidder. Slitting the throats of uppity noblemen. Plenty of room for all manner of characters. Guards, thieves, nobles,
hehehe - just like what already goes on in many MMPORGs but purposely part of the game.
I think you are taking my remark out of context. Why aren't you up in arms over the fact that JYW is now just starting to want minorities and handi-capable people?
That's all beside the point. JYW is going to have new people on. My comment implied that the previous contestants figured out the 'real' reason for the show. Whether or not the new people are minorities or not means nothing in the context of my remark. Yes, it could be inferred that I'm some anti-minority guy since minorities were mentioned in the story I replied too, but if there were no minorities and ethnic diversity mentioned, would that say I am making fun of white people? Who knows. I try and treat everyone the same. No slight was intended.
You know the scientist guy on 'The Simpsons' that sounds like Jerry Lewis?
Watch him carefully, and do the exact opposite.
That means: Never ever EVER say, "Nice LAAAYdeeee, oh! with the pushing, and the shoving, I can't help but notice your eyes, nice EYYYYeeees, are glowing like the blinkenlights on my fileserver, in the mother's basement, LAAAAYdeeee...oh MY!"
That is just fucked. What, he went into Excel and changed his grade? Did the teacher have a password on the file?
Overreaction and FUD. Hacking? Sheeeeeit.
I guess it could be argued that figuring out how to get your Winmodem to work could be construed as a violation of the DMCA, since it is obvious the thing was never meant to be tampered with in the first place.
Nope. Stealing satellite TV and throwing babies out of incubators are the same thing. I think that people who tear the tags off of mattresses should get the death penalty. Or worse yet, people who drive with their blinkers on should have to watch their children killed slowly by bloodletting and/or eyepoking.
Who has the most (media-freindly term coming...) Weapons of Mass Destruction?
You sir, are an overreacting blowhard. Go take a goddamn smoke break, and for the record, I never had a TRS-80. It sounds like you didn't either. Why so tense about it?
It only took/. a year to remember that this story was already posted?
It looks like Taco and crew need to go to some inefficency workshops, and improve their dupe to original story ratio. They may just show those 'Back' button researchers what true geeks are made of!

I can think of a President of the United States who could use a brain flash. Upgrade him out of the alpha release he's currently using.

I actually highly doubt most of what I hear about that stuff; I was being facetious for the AC reply.. :)

Opera 'Bork' is doing the same thing as MS(rendering pages arbitrarily, its just that Opera is making light of MS for doing it.
Who has the most (media-freindly term coming...) Weapons of Mass Destruction?
The US.
Is there any difference?
What are bits? I have to find Neandertals to paint what may be their god or my screen refresh of the day! And I don't even know!
Ha! My cards SUXXORS the most!
That's a bad combo if you're going to sit down and review graphics cards...
Wow. I bought an ass-pile of those macs from the recycling center in 97-99. They were great, and you guys did n't wipe your drives... ;)
Reminds me of my favorite thread...
Please post your phone number and we will all tell you.

The other people caught on, and we need some new people to come in and clean up this junkyard.
You must be an extra from 'The Wizard' if you can type that post and play Blades of Steel at the same time!
