Romeo and Juliet does NOT have a sad ending. Before you just read the cliff notes and think you can BS like you did in high school maybe you should go back and read the actual book.
The ending of Romeo and Juliet is TRAGIC but not entirely SAD. Romeo and Juliet as well as a few more minor charecters do die and in a very tragic way but there is a reason. Two families are at war and it takes the death of the sons and daughters of the family (Romeo and Juliet being the final deaths they can take) to create peace. If Romeo and Juliet didn't die how they did the families would still be at war and they would have probably both ended up dying anyway.
Although this comes off as a sad ending, you do feel sad at the end, the ending is actually quite happier than i expected when i read it after hearing so much about it my entire life.
Read some Shakespeare... its a lot more complex than most people realize and is a thrill when you find all the hidden goodies.
I_ dont remember a link or exactly who this was but a company was selling this. They sold stock quotes of over-inflated.com's at their peaks. At least all those stock quotes they are FINALLY good for something.
Although thats a good start i dont like exactly what it says. They are trying to protect "consumers". They are protecting those that buy things over the internet, what i want is protection for "citizens". Although i am a consumer i would like to think i dont have to buy my rights and priveledges.
Damn if only it was that easy. Why dont we do what needs to be done these days, create our own laws. Why is it that only the RIAA and MPAA can make laws? I know, blah blah blah money and bribes *ahem soft money* will get in the way but why cant we just get one little law passed that supports what people are really doing? If an average citizen cannot get his own ideas for laws even considered but a company can cruise through the process like a steam roller then something is wrong.
You are right about the fact that this is not a clone but i doubt this guy will go out of business soon. There are many people who will want to build their own mac using all official hardware AND this is a cheap way to build a mac.
Also i wonder if it would be possible for another company to buy these in bulk and repackage them as complete computers with some type of interesting change to make it worth buying from them. Is this essential OEM mac parts?
No, slashdot has gone over this. Mirroes dont work to deflect laser based weapons. Mirrors are not 100% efficitent, ususally somewhere around 85%. Once that 15% of the laser energy starts to heat up and melt the mirror it becomes less and less efficient at deflecting the laser and just melts. With a powerful laser you can melt a mirror in seconds. BTW i would not try to melt a mirror with a laser because a good portion of the laser's energy WILL bounce off and put an eye out or something.
Virus' are not lifeforms. They have an incomplete set of DNA that they splice into a healthy cell's DNA. The healthy cell starts making more virus' instead of new cells. Because of this virus' are considered to not be living since all they do is add their DNA to a real lifeform's DNA to reproduce.
Dont you understand what i just said? This is my exact problem. My upload speed barely gets to 10KB a second. This is nothing at all to work with. If i use any of it my download speed goes too slow. Im sory but my connection is not designed to work as a server.

Nice guess but i doubt it. If they were losing money on laptop screens they would quit selling them. Most likely they are making a killing off laptop screens and commiting mass murder on desktop displays.
My connection has a 608kbit download rate but only a 128kbit upload. My ADSL service is designed for downloading from powerful servers and NOT uploading huge amounts of data myself. So am i just screwed with BitTorrent?
These are choices i made when i chose an ISP. I use Speakeasy ADSL service. They specifically say that they support the use of home servers, open source, shared AP's and generally good behavior when it comes to ISPs. They will give technical support to linux users and when you call tech support in the middle of the night the guy who your talking to will know what commands you need to put into bash to get it all working. I really like Speakeasy and am willing to pay the extra for an ISP that specifically says they want me to use NAT and run servers from home... leech all the bandwidth i can they dont care.

"legitimizing the industry"?
wtf crack are you on? Video games make more money than all movies combined. Im tired of people who like to play games thinking they an under-dog boosting their hobby so "normal" people will see what it is. Face it video games are huge... yah HUGE... so of course we are going to get all kinda of people writing abou different aspects of it.
Thats a really good explanation and it gets me wondering. How far do they go in deciding whats being hidden. Obviously tunneling through one IP into the internet is hiding your private network but there are otehr situations that are more confusing.
At what network layer are they applying this to? Every time your network data get encapsulated all kinds of fields change. What happens when the frame's source and destination change as it follows it regular course over a network? Is that hiding who the data is coming from?
Of course now SSH is totally illegal. Your making a TCP stream go from its normal port say for telnet through the SSH port. Obviously you are hiding the TRUE source of the data.
Also what about wireless? Most commercial wireless AP's have a NAT router built in which could cause many companies to stop selling their networking products in Michigan. Is that what Mighigan wants? To prevent their own state from using regular networking equipment? Are they trying to send themselves back to the stone age?
This entire situation is insane and obviously wont be enforcable. I cant wait for this to get to court and be knocked away for good so we can all breath easier.
HOLD ON A SECOND... i dont believe it... you mean someone is going to write about games and the game industry on the internet? i cant believe this what a new fresh idea.
Or gays... i mean clearly since its public funded it must be liberal slanted. I mean they must hate America, its straight from our govt. that their paychecks come from.
Well my main point was that although i prefer ATA drives over SCSI anyday (sooooo much cheaper its almost throwing away money on SCSI), SCSI will still end up being faster. Because of the differance in the actual drives that are built for SCSI they can do many things better which no matter how quick your ATA bus is SCSI can still win. Personally im getting ready to buy some nice SATA drives in a RAID for my personal computer as soon as i can (as soon as i can get a job that is:)). I like the idea of having so much space on the bus i dont need to take out drives but as you said simple keep adding pairs.
As someone whos involved in a little situation with our justice system, right now i can say that the court system needs some work. They constantly lose mailed items so you better have your OWN proof of what you sent out because they dont care. Our system is backlogged so bad that if there is a mistake nobody has the time to fix it. If you call to explain a problem the person on the other line usually says something like "wow that sucks but were really sorry nobody has time to go back and fix all this".
Well this only matters if your drive is native SCSI. If you put a regular old IDE drive on a SCSI bus it would perform the same. The differance is that SCSI drives are expected to be better so are made with higher quality drive parts. The actual disc to buffer rate is better than that of IDE. But you are mostly correct about the interface not mattering. The gain made from say ATA100 to ATA133 is small because of how it REALLY works. The gain made is not tranfering a whole 133 mb's a second. The differance is made when you are trying to transfer at maximum speed for say 1/8th of a second. The drive that can transfer about 4 mb's a second faster (ATA133) will empty out the buffer faster but in the end even the ATA100 drive will catch up in large I/O's. So really the interface IS noteworthy but if you want speed get SCSI or an 8mb buffer drive.
RAID 1 is the way to go for you obviously. Dont worry about performance. With RAID 0 you get double read/write but with RAID 1 you still get the double read speed. Since you can record at a set needed amount ot bandwidth your write speed should be fine. What you really need is what you have, safety and read speed. The time you really need speed is in editing a file, loading it up with an editing program can take a long time so i think you made the right choice.
Yes... if you refer to a "nigger" then obviously your refering to a black person. It is sometimes what they are called but this doesn't make it right. Just like calling these people "hackers" whether or not its right doesn't matter because we know what they are talking about.
