Most women I've known are attracted more to a thick wallet. I've seldom seen one trade down, if you know what I mean. Often I've seen them leave the cute hunk once they get a few years of just getting by and land the ugly engineer. Just sayin'.
I'm thinking a lot of women aren't all that offended. My wife doesn't mind all the babes at car shows we go to. Well, at least as long as I don't drool.
I think sometimes that people like getting screwed by the companies they do business with. It is some kind of perverse relationship. You give them money and they fuck you. It's been doing well for them. I bought a game from them back in the Commodore 64 days. For 39.95 I got a game that took about 5 and a half minutes to load and hammered my C1541 disk drive into misalignment with the added bonus it got so hot I could use it to boil water as well. Me being the type that holds a grudge I pirated EA games from that point on. Besides the obvious monetary savings I got games that loaded in about 20-30 seconds and my disk drive stayed in alignment. Win-Win!
I know a guy that owns a windows phone and he likes it. Interestingly enough he bought a zune when they came out and loved it. I took one look at the phone and told him I preferred my straight talk flip phone.
With CPU power being what it is nowadays it's irellevant. The average computer has spare CPU cycles to burn. I will say that I have an external hard drive case and when I run benchmarks on it using USB2 and Firewire 400 it's obvious that Firewire is superior. USB2 is supposedly faster but not in real life.
The mini has two 7200 RPM drives and they're not a noticeable drag. The 16GB of memory makes editing a breeze. That is the number one thing that the RAM upgrade brought me. For day to day general stuff the 4GB setup was just as fast. I've got AV Linux running on a core2duo laptop with an SSD drive and it is really impressive. I will probably never buy another platter drive except for storage. 4TB hard drives are down to around 150 dollars now and that makes storing video nice.
Win 7 struggles but it's not because of RAM. 4GB is plenty of ram for it. I've got a mac mini with 16GB of RAM and the only time it uses more than 3 or 4 GB of that is when I'm editing video. The only reasons I can see for more than 4GB of ram is video editing or running virtual environments. I've run win7, winXP, Linux and AROS all at one time on here. Why? Because I can!
They haven't even charged him yet. First they have to charge him, then the international warrant, then extradition proceedings. I'll be interested to see how fast they can cut through all that red tape.

Not really. A book can be enlightening and can expand your horizons. With few exceptions games are just time killers.
I've done it buck naked.

I'm having trouble imagining a Barbara Walters heroine. Maybe it's my 13 year old hind brain. Maybe not.
Hear, hear!
What's serious about a game? Seriously.
I'm not sure we can do either. My feeling is we've been to the Moon. Time to move on.
It could be Anon.
But he's telling the truth this time. Honest.
Man, that is so sad.

Viva Maemo!
The trick is to hide in plain sight. Most of the time if you seem legit and do nothing obvious you're flying below the radar.
I just can't stop myself. If you don't have anything to hide you have nothing to worry about.
There, I said it. Here come the downmodders.
Hell in the US they can't even keep non-insured non-licensed drivers off the road. Registering phones? Hah!
They should have listened to Juan Valdez. He's the fucking expert.

Hehe. It'd be hard for CBM to assist anyone nowadays since they went tits up in 1994.
Just out of curiosity is there any computer company you feel is not assisting the government in its surveillance activity?
