Or, a new virus comes out, and Microsoft hasn't released a patch because Win2K is no longer supported. You better pray your firewall rules are configured correctly and no one brings an outside computer in behind your firewall (Say a laptop from home).
ne of the major things holding up growth of the Internet in the US is our lousy rollout of broadband (which has improved a lot since 1997 but is still not great... South Korea is still better hooked up than the US).
How many square miles needed to be wired in S. Korea vs the US? How do population densities compare?
After reading all of this, I have another one of my stupid questions. The "copy protection" software is a.dll that autoplays when one of their "protected" cd's is inserted. This.dll I'm assuming continues to run, even after you have removed their "protected" CD. So will this.dll prevent you from copying/ripping CDs that are not "protected" or does it somehow know which CDs to "protect"? Will this.dll interfere with other software that uses your CD-ROM drive?
If it does interefere with other programs that use the CD-ROM drive, can't the government prosecute them for terrorist activity now that hacking has been declared a terrorist activity? After all, they've created a program that tricks users into executing it and is designed to damage the computer's normal functions.
Our dating techniques are inaccurate, and these things that you say are millions of years old, are actually less than 7,000 (Or depending on which creationist theory you believe, 15,000 or 50,000 years old).
Dinosaurs did exist, along side humans not seperate from them as scientists claim. Proof of this can be seen in our fables and myths that refer to giant dragons and serpents. They've just all died out (Which is normally blamed on the flood) Same goes for your not quite human, not quite ape remains.
Would someone please explain to me why bars can't serve alcohol after a certain time to begin with? I'm sure their must be a good reason, as just about every municipality in the U.S. has set some sort of arbitrary time when bars can no longer sell liquor. But I can't really think of a logical reason, especially considering the "cut off" time varies quite a bit from place to place.
Can't get in an auto accident if there were no cars could you. And since some people misues their cars and cause accidents, it makes sense that we should ban all cars.
Just to reply to myself.... I can connect just fine when I click the torrent links from IE. But it still gives me a connection refused when I click the links in Mozilla. The Torent opens just fine, it just can't connect.
This is kind of like California's current budget crisis. The state government knew they wouldn't have enough money for all the programs they wanted to inact without raising taxes. They knew that people would not go for a tax increase.
So they passed the programs anyway so they could use them as leverage for raising taxes knowing its political suicide for a politican to call for "cutting programs" to balance the budget.
(Yes, I know its over simplified. And yes I know there were other cuases leading up to the budget mess. This was however one of the major factors leading up to the current mess.)
Yes, but that's not her fault. Sure she placed it between her legs to hold it still. Sure she removed the protective lid which had a warning printed on it not to remove it. Sure she had had the coffee there before, and knew it was served particularly hot in order to keep it warm longer on the drive to work.
What features do you need? Is it going to have a media player...
Hmmmm...don't use the ATM much do you? ATM's at the local 7-11 have required you to view a video ad (Normally for an upcoming movie or music video) before giving you cash for at least the last 2 years where I live. Many of the local Wells Fargo's now have a quite media rich interface. I haven't seen any video yet, but I have seen Flash type animation. I hit up a Bank of America a few weeks ago that actually had a spoken pitch to switch my accounts to their bank.
I doubt you could tell the difference between a really nice diamond and a Zirconia.
There are two things that normally tip people off that a stone is Zirconia.
1. Because they are so cheap, people tend to wear larg Zirconia. Much larger than what most people can afford in a Diamond. 2. Zirconia have better color and clarity than the diamonds most people can afford.
So what you are seeing isn't a difference between Zirconia and Diamonds. What you are seeing is the difference between Zirconia and the shitty diamonds most of us can afford.
Hate to brake it to these geeks, but they've obviously never been to Disneyland. The Indiana Jones ride has had this technology for years. A fog screen is created and then it has projected on it the moving image of rats running along a log and dropping off. Your jeep then drives through the screen, scaring women who are afraid of rats.
(Some days it works really well, some days it doesn't.)
You *CAN* patent a derivative work. All you have to do is add some "unique" twist to it, and patent it as your own. Patents are very picky about the wording and the order by which things get done. All it takes is a slight modification of those listed in the patent, and you've got a new patent all to yourself.

You are comparing apples to oranges.

Price the songs reasonably.
I'm sorry, but $.99 is too much per song. Especially now that Universal has dropped CD prices to $12.99. At $.50 per song they'd have my attention.

If you must use IE, download the CrazyBrowser (Tabs and pop-up blocking) enchancement. Or use Proxomitron, the ultimate pop-up/flash/ad blocker.

Yes, but how often does the herbal penis enlargement pill salesman come knocking?

I run into this problem about 70% of the time I try to download a Bit Torrent.

Kazaa sues the record companies! Oh wait.
But none of that matters.

No they don't, ask Sonny Bono about that.
The local pizza hut pays its drivers $12/hr. Not bad, considering they gets tips on top of it.
Links please.

Its for those times when you feel a post should be modded up, but it doesn't fit in any of the given catagories.
Steam has been on a public Beta for at least the last year and for at least 2 versions.
