Sadly my spell checker had no problem with role since it is in fact a legitimate word. Unfortunately it has a different meaning from roll. This is what comes from quickly tapping out a reply when half asleep.
Actually 1366x768 is bad for almost everything except watching video. I had a nice dell laptop that I sold cheap because everything about it was great except the damn screen size. I actually went back to an older one because new laptops with decent screens are expensive. I'd actually love to have a new version of the D630 laptop with an i5 processor and a newer discrete nvidia graphics chip. Even the old T7500 in this one runs well with Mepis Linux but encoding video takes a while.
They could have built the plant in Mississippi and the labor costs would have been better with vastly lower real estate costs. I'd bet Mississippi would have given them land and all the tax incentives they'd ever want.
I think the problem is that the American solar companies have bri....er....donated so much money to American lawmakers that they don't think they have to tolerate subsidized competition. Of course they see our subsidizing as being an investment.
The Amiga was defined by it's custom chipset. The way it handled graphics and sound in conjuction with the CPU coupled with a really sweet multi-tasking system that directly banged the hardware. This ultimately lost out to the much cheaper to build open architechture of the PC when Microsoft finally put out windows 95 that sorta did most of the things the Amiga had been doing for 10 years. It didn't do them nearly as well but it was, as MS usually is, good enough to get by. Coupled with dirt cheap hardware there was no way for the people who bought the Amiga rights to compete with it so there was never a chance for a new Amiga and there never will be. Due to the fanatical user community however some people have played on the desire for a new Amiga to bilk money from the faithful.
I wish they'd just let the poor Amiga rest in peace. Far, far, far ahead of it's time and an early death due to morons in the HQ. Mehdi Ali and Irving Gould....the anti-Jobs. Together they wrote the manual on how to mismanage a billion dollar corporation into bankruptcy in just a few short years. Towards the end the small investors grouped together to hire a Private Investigator to find out where the clandestine stock-holder meeting was being held so they could show up to give them hell. If anyone had ever compared a pitiful late 80's early 90's pc to an Amiga they'd never have believed how things turned out.
Imagine giving your neighborhood dealer $200 digital cash for some drugs then the cops catch him with your money, traceable to you, on his iphone. Not good.
I keep hearing about windows phones but I've see 1 (one) out of hundreds of droids and dozens of iphones. I guess people are buying them and stockpiling them instead of using them. This hurts MS not at all since they're extorting money off the droid sales of course.
I believe that since music became digital people only buy it once. I have some albums in Vinyl, 8-track, cassette and CD. Once I went all digital though I only buy music once and then have it forever. I bet I've bought some albums on cassette 3 or 4 times as tapes got lost or deteriorated and the same with Vinyl LP's. I know I"ve bought Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffitti album at least 10 times in various types of media over the years. It's on my server now and I"ll never have to buy it again.
I wrote my Senator. He basically told me he didn't care what I thought and that he was right and he was looking out for my safety. I actually voted for him prior to the letter. I went so far as to donate to the Democrat running against him even though I actually thought the Dem was a stupid piece of shit. At least the Dem wasn't a condescending stupid piece of shit. I don't mind that he thought I was wrong so much as that the fucker had the gall to tell me he was trying to keep me safe. Fuck him. He's not there to keep me safe, he's there to secure my freedom and guarantee my rights. Suspending my rights and freedom to keep me safe? I hate people like that, I hope his asshole grows shut.

I was usually into quart jars with the screw on lids. Anything to avoid paying taxes.

Dude, you are like...such a drag man. What a downer.
I think they were just getting soused and spilled the wine on the experiment. Oops! Hey man, look at that! It works!
Oh man...I wish I had mod points. Good one.
I quit drinking a couple of decades ago so I don't know but....do they still sell 5th's nowadays?
What ever happened to taking role? What kind of incompetent idiots are running schools when they need to chip the kids to keep up with them?
There, now you went and said it.
For the desktop it's pretty simple. I turn the monitor on end.

I can't see why we'd mind if the Chinese government pissed away a few billion dollars of their money.
Sorry about that. I hope it didn't cause you too much distress.
Out of touch? How so? I'm not the one trying to pass off a crippled linux distro and way overpriced hardware as an Amiga computer.

This is how you utilize a first post?
Maybe the Swiss. Imagine a global digital currency backed by gold.

I really don't recall any religion in Ender's Game. At least not any organized religion.

As a conservative I have to say I don't have sex. I do like to fuck though.
