    but the problem is that you have to have SP3 or higher to apply the patch

    thats odd, I've updated people on both SP1 and SP2 no problem at all. And 2000 has many serviceable firewalls, they just aren't bundled with windows.

    My guess was that originally, they'd just walk way from this, as a pump-n-dump. If so, it's going to happen soon.

    Most of their exec's already have done the dump part, so whens the walk away part going to happen?

    I just always had a problem with Guinness's labeling. Its a stout - yet it says 'serve cold' on the bottle/can - does anyone else who likes stouts see a problem with that?

    Also nice to see someone else mention Samuel Smith - their Oatmeal/Imperial Stouts were great, and their Taddy Porter was pretty damn good too

    If I recall, Time Warner does have High Definition versions of many of those channels rebroadcast under a different channel #, at least they do for all the local channels by me. Just use those and I imagine it would look just fine

    but then again i dont think EA have made a game worth buying for a LONG time, at least back to the Genesis.

    techinically they could do that without violating rights, the FBI warning on DVD, VHS, etc talks about not being able to profit of the showings of those movies (charging admission, etc) - if they didnt charge people in the community for the viewing and its not a pirated copy, its all good

    About hundred years ago the automobile absolutely devastated the livery industry. Anyone whose job involved tending horses slowly watched their career prospects diminish

    from one thing I remember reading about the Sequent code in question, the logic behind RCU was completely independant of SVR4 - that just was the 1st impletemantation of the logic which they had come up. But since it was merely the implementation of the idea, SCO should not be able to claim ownership

    And all TVs from the last few years have RGB in

    I've seen very few that do that weren't top of the line. Sure, they all pretty much have RCA inputs, but thats a lot different than composite. Even a large amount of home theater receivers out there haven't added RGB inputs yet.

    what i used to do when I had problems is call often and complain - but in reality, I've had very little trouble with my TWC modem. Only one outage in the past year, and was a filter on my line that got fried. Called and had it fixed within a day - guess it all depends on the affiliate you have for how good their service is. I know dsl in my area is horrid, I dont know anyone who switched to it who kept it more than 6 months before switching back

    In 2002, unit sales were down about 11 percent.

    In 2000, unit sales were down seven percent. "

    I love how they love to change their numbers to make them sound worse. Something about that 11% figure seems wrong. A great quote from the msnbc article about it:

    "While the RIAA has focused on illegal downloading, piracy is not the only reason for the CD sales slide. Other industry experts blame high prices, radio consolidation and an industry focus on hit-oriented artists such as Britney Spears, who may have short-lived careers"

    So in essense, they are screwing themselves and want someone else to take the blame

    5,000 music CDs printed at a cost of 5 bucks each

    That seems a bit high, look up most CD duplication sites prices and you'll see that on 5,000 music cd's in neighborhood of 75Â each (case and color printing included) - so selling them at $15 each nets a total profit of $71,250. True, in order for them to make money they sometimes have to sell millions due to ludicrous contracts and marketing costs, but making CD's is a tiny tiny fraction of the cost.

    It costs the ISP money, and obviously they should recover those costs from the users, in proportion to the usage

    thats not entirely true - one of the things I use at my isp is their news server. I can download 10GB from them in a week, and whats it cost them in bandwidth costs? Absolutely Nothing. Yet most ideas brought forth for bandwidth limitations wouldnt take into account that all that bandwidth is on the local network and I would probably be charged some insane rate for it.

    On another note - My hosting company only charges me $4/GB over my normal, what is up with people saying an ISP should be able to charge $10-20 for each GB over a preset limit?
