All the Presidents Men and the similarities are striking in many ways... Maybe some of our journalists should have re-screening of the movie or even better, re-read the book?
However the way microsoft integrates online gaming (xbox live) is very well done, and personally i think is where gaming is going. Now they just need good games.
I think this is not correct. On-line gaming is HUGE for you hardcore gamers, but on and off gamers like me don't have the skill or time necessary to get a good online experience. What fun is it to enter an online session just to be killed 5 seconds after you entered? Not much...
I personally prefer to play games with friends in real life. We all have about the same skill level and we can drink and interact in ways you can't online. Ofcourse, if you are a hardcore gamer, you probably don't have too many real life friends since you spend most of your free time online playing games.
Until I can enter online games and only play with people on or about the same skill level as I have, online gaming to me is worthless and just a HUGE waste of money.
If I could go online with my friends and then have a session with only us in it, that would be interesting.
I wanted to pick up an XBOX 360 just to see what the hype is alll about, but i have no interest in buying on Ebay and so far i haven't found a place where I can go and pick up one, so I'm going to drop XBOX 360 alltogether, no matter how good it is due to the fact it's nearly impossible to go to a store and buy one. Horrible, horrible marketing MS, SONY - are you listening? I'll pick up a PS3 with games and stuff as soon as it is available for pickup in stores.
Be a disciple of Christ, and go out and feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and visit the imprisoned. Christianity has everything to do with serving the poor, and nothing to do with politics.
Hmmmm.... I see you know next to nothing about what Christianity is.
It has nothing to do with jesus and his deeds, it has to do with beeing judgemental, prejudiced, cruel, barbaric, negligent, greedy, cheating, stealing and lying though your teeths. That is the average fair from Christians today. I haven't seen a christian in a long time that even follow jesus teachings. And I can assure you that those who do, have nothing to do with GOP.
My parents were poor and the only thing i inherited of some value was an old iron used to iron clothes that was from the early 1800's. Probably worth around $100 or so, so no.
I'm older than the average/. reader I guess and I have worked all my life since I graduated from one of the top 100 universities (It was ranked in the 60's last year at least).
What different people spend money on has nothing to do with bragging, but with what interests you have. How much have you in your short life spent of money on crap and on computers? My interest is in multimedia and that leads to aquiring equipment that is quality and quality costs. It also cost money to build a media room so that the building construction is not ruining the experience. Plus a decent surround sound system which actually can enhance your experience is expensive. I'm not talking about your average hone theater system found at best buy.
There are those among us who don't have a problem paying $2k for a player if we want one. I personally have a screening room setup that cost close to $70000. Adding a BD player to that is no a big deal, but something I will do once it's available for shipping. Why? Simply because it's my main interest, just as computers is yours and that is where your money goes. I prefer multimedia on a grander scale than on a PC, so I go for the real deal.
Change to IP V6 has very little to do with distance or where people live.
Why this is to expensive for the best, richest, smartest, thoughest country on the face of the Eartjh, is a mystery. Maybe pourimg more money into USA rather than wasting it in Iraq? But I guess a lot of criminal organisations like Hallinburton would be mad. How dare people take away their loot^H^H^H^Hrevenue.
If number of humans per square miles had anything at all to do with speed and price, New York would have 1GB for $1 a month compared to other places in USA and the world, so you are totally on the wrong track.
WoW! Why are you so angry and why is it focused towards MySpace and their users?
Today was my first visit to Myspace and I looked at the various areas they offer, read some of the forums and blogs, looked at groups and did a quick personal search and it seems to be a lot more than 12 year olds since I did a quick search for women between 35 and 45 within 10 miles of my zip and got an enormous amount of hits back. This is not my type of hang-out, myspace that is, but I have no problems understanding why a lot of people use it. It's all in one place and easy to use even though it needs a more consistent look.
But I really find it funny that geeks hanging out on/. with all it's less than intelligent comments to each story, get all huffy and puffy about myspace and manage to make themselves seem above "that" kind of people, yet write furiously on/. Logic at it's finest!
I work for a database company and I can assure you that there are several methods of access identification and internal encryption in the database (security in case the datafiles are stolen) etc.
But security is never a single thing but the sum of several layers of measures which combined give the best acceptable security level. Note! This is not the same as the best possible security level, such a level is not functional.
So rather than a BSOD, we will now see the following:
"Hi! This is your friendly missile targeting software ver 0.13-alpha
(c) J. L. Y. Bean, 302 BigMack Drive, Obesity
Released under GPL blaaah....
This version requires you to update the kernel to version 2.6.18-rc2 or higher and to upgrade Gnome to 2.12 or higher.
Please rerun the targeting software after the update. Have a nice day!"
What can you expect of a country that for all practical purposes is a one-party state?
USA's political system is inherently inefficient and outdated and only fosters corruoptions and controlling people. But if you as an American citizen is happy with living in a country that is moving away from freedom, liberty and democracy, by all means do nothing. But I don't understand why you hate USA so much that you actually go along with this crap and that puzzles me. Dare I say brainwashed?
Most likely because the new MySQL version used a glibc function not existing in the previous version, hence rebuilding with the old glibc would error out.
I know that the database I work with on a daily basis have a minimum requirement for glibc versions and when we release a new version, that requirement normally have bumped the release of the mninimum required glibc version, hence a glibc upgrade may be necessary.
I do and so should everyone else. If the company want you to work 50-60-70 or more hours a week, the company is mismanaged and it's time to get out!. I have never had a job that requires me to work more than 40 hours.
To quote an old movie, Auntie Mame from 1958: "Life's a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" If you work 50-60-70 hours a week, you are starving to death! Do you really want to look back on your life and say "Geeez.... What happened? I was at work!" Not me, no thank you very much!
There is not a single one among you Americans who have any idea how it is to have ones country occupied by a hostile nation. Imagine SS setting up head quarters in the White House. Most european countries with a WWII occupation history (my dad was a freedom figther and several of my family died in KZ camps, one of my relatives were the local Gestapo boss and was extremly hated for his cruelty. This is not Holland btw) made a promise that this would not be repeated and hence outlawed nazism. I fully support it and i also support restrictions in free speech since all countries have restrictions, even USA have severe restrictions on free speech (yes, i have lived here for about 10 years).
Stop bragging about USA and free speech, it's not more free than most other countries, it's just that you, the average American, believe otherwise because you have been told so all the time and that doesn't necessarily make it true.
So, in Canada the money gets back to the people via the government, and in the US it gets back to the people via Wal-Mart... what's the difference?
I would like to point you towards the Forbes 500 richest list. I think you will see several Waltons with billion dollar fortunes. So, the money DOES NOT go back to the people. If you add up all the cost of all the extra insurance and pension funds that you need here in the US, I think you'll find that the difference is marginal if any at all. Lower taxes and cheaper prices does not necessarily mean cheaper totally. Think of it as Total Cost of Ownership like we do in IT and you'll see that you probably pay more in USA than in Canada.

If the GUI is no longer part of the kernel, can I now get a Vista Server without the GUI? Just barebones Vista with the new command line shell?

How much is a dollar in rinbao these days? I need a new PC....

That is the sound of my joke pasing above your head. Maybe you should put down that fantasy book of yours and enter the real world for some time?
They can read???
Got a URL to the Hail Mary? Are they podcasting it?
LOLOLOLOL That was funny!
But I guess only Norwegian/Danish speaking got it?

The problem with this guy and his "suggestion" is the following:
- He is a politician
- He is from Utah, it's jammed packed with religious nutcases.
