So instead they should broadcast directly to each individual subscriber. That means that they would probably would need a huge network of satellites that would be capable of transmitting potentialy every house all over the world. I mean that's not fair, they should be able to broadcast an encrypted signal that people must pay to have unencrypted. There is obviously a need for satellite TV and there is really only one way of going about it. Unless you lay cable all over the place and had people pay access to that cable. Oh yea, that's called Cable TV.
Forgive me if this was meant as funny. Did McDonalds really serve such hot coffee? Did buy custom coffee makers that serve coffee extra hot? My Mr Coffee maker at home serves it pretty damn hot, but I don't think it could melt a plastic lid, but if I spilled it on myself I would assume it would cause some bodily damage. Now McD's is probably using Bunn coffee makers, higher end industrial grade, I don't think they serve their coffee EXTRA hot. Although, there could be a setting on the Coffee maker (luke warm, hot, capable of spontaneous explosion).
I think what this does in my mind is give Opera some personality. You know there are real people there. With this light on things people may be more inclined to actually buy Opera. They will know their money is going to a group of real people, not some dirty money grubbing corporation. It's just a thought on things, I like Opera maybe I'm partial, or that I'm just a little hungover.
I think I would just have to try it. Hopefully those features will creep into Konquerer. As I don't have a Mac to try it. Would be nice if they released a free Win32 or *nix compatible version of Safari. I enjoy trying different browsers, but Opera has flat out won me over especially on the Win32 end. Konq is great on FreeBSD, but I spend most of my time (gaming & browsing) on Win2k.
Yea, what a waste of a CD to burn. I tried it out awhile back. Just recently I was checking out the progress, sounds like they are almost there but still not quite.
What I really wanted to do was be able to play some old SNES games in the lazy boy especially some RPGs I never had a chance to complete. I've just built a FreeBSD DVD player from my old p3 500. But damn it SNES9x is getting compile errors and zsnes doesn't support USB gamepads. I haven't had much of a chance to explore these problems yet though.
Yea, I used it maybe 3 times as well. First time with my feet second 2 times with my hands. Now that gun ( forgot the name ) for Duck Hunt was fun as hell.
Although this does sound like a nice useful feature. It seems it would still make more sense to open your results in a new window or tab. That way even if you found something you want, but you want to keep on searching it's still there. Then if you decided that it isn't what you were looking for you can close it and continue searching.
Actually what's more crazy is Half-Life is based off the Quake 1 engine.

I'd have to agree with the parent though. I've noticed lots of open source 3d engines coming along. It seems no one is makeing any games from these. I guess all those people are busy moding commercial engines.
I've never been a big fan af any RTS. I always found them too time consuming, that what I love about FPS's I can get some quick action after a long day of work but not have to sit at the computer for hours and hours trying to finish a game. Sure you can save it, but when you come back to it your train of thought at the time is lost. But one game that I could not get away from and played till I beat it, skipping classes or running out the door at the last second, is Homeworld 1/2. Never did understand why that game was not a big hit. It is the best single player game I have ever played. I would love to see a Homeworld 3.
It's just like when the Beatles played Shae Stadium. Guess how many watts they were pushing with no PA speakers? 50 Watts. There's definately a lot more to consider than watts. I don't claim to understand much of this I'm not an audiophile.
My computer speaker setup consists of $40 GE (yes, General Electric) 4.1, flat panel. It's a nice little setup. Sure I can't blow my eardrums out but it's plenty loud enough. The sub packs quite a punch. It really is a wonderful $40 investment. I think spending over $100 is overkill on speakers, for me that is.
I think I better solution would to be able to modify the agent-string to anything, like Konqueror does. Using something like Oprah, like Opera used for testing or, IESucks, would be great.
Don't rule Abit out. They're one of the few good companies. Somebody just screwed them over. My Abit BE6 is still going after 3 years. Actually it's probably been the most stable computer I have ever owned.
I've got an Abit BE6 (1). Been going strong for 3 years... I don't want it do die. I've already upgraded to an Abit KX7-333R, but I don't think the newer boards have any of these capacitors. My BE6 is becoming a DVD player. I just hope maybe it was a lucky batch since it's been going this long... or it's going to die any minute now.
Yes it happens to me. More often if I have been eating and then take my first sips from a soft drink. Goes away after about 3. Mexican food does this as well (no drinking required) it tends to last longer. Drinking water usually makes it go away, but if a food is particulary spicy it becomes much more difficult to rid of it.
Maybe not as bad as your problem, but I hiccup everytime I eat spicey foods. I may not even be particulary spicy to my mouth, but still be noticeable. Sucks, because I love Mexican food.
In regards to X. If you run/stand/sysinstall, Configure, XFree86, option 2 xf86cfg -textmode. Instead of the graphical installation, option 1. I found that the easiest. The only thing is my monitor doesn't have autodetect capabilities, it's from an old 486 IBM PS/2 comp. I had to enter the vertical and horizontal refresh rate. Had to look them up searching on google. I don't understand why this can't be like windows... Choose your resolution, if the monitor can't support then the screen looks all funny or the monitor stays black. Wait 15 secons and goes back to the original settings. Do the same for the refresh rate. Under X it can be a pain by having to look up my monitors refresh rates.
I hope configuring X the above way helps you if you haven't tried it.
Now as for isntalling Linux, Mandrake 8 was the easiest expierience I have ever had. Although I did have to compile drivers for my Aureal2 based sound card, just as simple as installing a port in FreeBSD. Software management was the difficult part.
That's where I think a FreeBSD ports system comes in handy. Or like Debian's package system. I was using Mandrake 8 awhile back. Whenever I wanted to install something in 'drake especially rpms that I downloaded, I found myself then downloading a dependcey for that rpm, then that depencey depended on another rpm... etc. With FreeBSD everything is like magic, I always find every piece of software I need in the ports and after a "make install clean" everything works. If the could combine this system with a pretty GUI including a GUI installer. The average user will feel much more comfortable. That's the biggest problem with the *nixes. There are some many libraries and programs that are all dependent it's really a nightmare.
We're on the same track. I'm actually living with my girlfriend and she is as determined as I am about not having kids. Although we both are worried that her hormones will change and she will want them. Think women usually can't help it. So it's great with us splitting living costs. I can live in a relatively nice place and not in a crappy low cost high crime area.
I just can't believe how much our society expects marriage/kids/suv. I'm gonna stick with single/no-kids/cheap honda. Marriage maybe in the future. Put the extra money in broadband internet and my cheap hobby of playing with FreeBSD on old computers.
For food, when I eat out for cheap, I stick to the $.99 menu. Order 2 $.99 items and a water. I'm full enough spending $2.14 including tax. I also shop as much as possible at The Dollar Genral Store and Big Lots. There are a lot of junky ones but if you are lucky enough to live near some good ones you can't get real cheap frozen, canned, and just add water foods.
It seems everybody's goal is to be ultra-rich and successful. I've always just wanted to be financially secure. Not having to be worried about upcoming rent or electric bill. And work as little as possible doing it. Since I don't plan on having kids or getting married anytime soon, I won't have to make much money to achieve those goals. Most people tell me I will want kids later in life. I am so set on not having them I don't think it'll change. I know I'm doing the world a favor, I'm not a genius or anything so my genes aren't that important. Actually there is schizophrenia and the "shakes" on my dad's side. The shakes is just where are hands are shaky. Mine are just starting at 21, my dad has it pretty bad at 50 and his father is real bad. Overpopulation is another reason.

Relax, I didn't even notice just read it like it sounded I guess. Don't succumb to the spelling nazis... unless you are one of them ;)
Ha ha, funny that you said this. I think my 4x burner is dying. Should I shell out the $50 for a 48x?
Yea, what a waste of a CD to burn. I tried it out awhile back. Just recently I was checking out the progress, sounds like they are almost there but still not quite.

What do you just copy and paste your cheap plug every chance you get. Well at least your not posting this in something unrelated.
Yea, I used it maybe 3 times as well. First time with my feet second 2 times with my hands. Now that gun ( forgot the name ) for Duck Hunt was fun as hell.

Ah those were the days. I think I tried running on it a couple times. Next thing I knew I was beating on the pad like a mad man.

I've been thinking about changing to php. I think perl is making me depressed. I have some many functions built up over time, but it may be worth it.
Should have assassinated him when you had the chance!!!
