As an owner of a very small car and living in Texas where BIG ASS vehicles are the majority of the vehicles on the road, frankly I am frightened everytime I get the road. Imagine a 3-4 ton SUV hitting my under 1 ton car (CRX). I would definitely NOT survive. Now I can zoom in and out of traffic and avoid most accidents, that ONE chance that I'll get hit cuz some bitch is on the cell phone in her H2 (which BTW is an OFFROAD vehicle and never sees the dirt) and I'll get creamed.
I think we are due for another 70s oil crisis and I will happily contend with my tank a month and 10 bucks a fill up attitude.
D00d, you are totally wrong. I like small cars, I have a 1991 CRX. I went to the car show when it came to town and was dumbstrucked at the hybrid cars. I specifically went to check them out. They get WORSE mileage than my car, which is 12 years old BTW with 160,000+ miles.
Toyota and Honda hybrids get 30-40 mpg, my measily 12 year old CRX gets 50+ mpg in town and at 80+ mph on the highway.
I think I will stick with my old ass rice grinder for awhile still;)
Well I for one am not one of the unemployed bitter crowd, I got lucky. Sure they maybe the same high wages, but what about job stability and security?
I'd rather take a job that paid half as much, and I knew I could work there for 20-25 years, than a job that paid 2-3 times more but for 3 years.
You see a LOT of these companies have matching 401k's, well at least mine does, so they match what you put in. But there is a catch, you have to work there for 5 years before you get THEIR contributions. Many a friend have been terminated in their 4th year of employment for stupid reasons. So beware!!
But when is it gonna stop? I mean we are getting to the point where you can only use if you do this, this or that. If neither applies your fubar and your money is lost.
Who else besides me is tired of companies doing this to people? What happened to the Fair Use policy? I paid for it, I can do with it what I damn well please!
I think its time we take a stand against this crap!!
Your contradicting yourself by saying "we are building all this time saving technology." Just saying "time-saving" means we are lazy, you have to agree. If we weren't lazy then there would be no reason to build "time-saving" devices.
This will happen because human beings are completely lazy creatures. Why do we have the remote control? Microwave dinners? Drive a car when we live 1 mile from work?
Hmmm.. maybe this Skynet thing isn't just in a movie after all.
Thank goodness somebody else besides me realizes the stuff we use today was first designed with a military purpose. I can only see cool stuff coming from this. 2 hour worldwide delivery with UPS, to cheap zero g thrill rides.
I have been banging my head up against a wall for about 2 years now trying to get our University to at least make some sort of switchover to Linux servers/desktops. I mean, you don't need Windows to just check email and run telnet apps. Needless to say, they signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract extension to Microsloth.
The ISS was a good plan, but its just not big enough to hold all the materials and people necessary to pull it off. When the low gravity of the Moon, it would be perfect building and launching facility.
The only problem we have to solve is HOW do we hold enough air, water and fuel for the entire trip. Do we somehow make water as we traverse along? Make the fuel from Mars?
But first we need a point to start the journey. This is why I think we need a moon base FIRST. Use the minerals and materials from the moon to manufacture a big spaceship to carry us there. There is no way we can build something big enough and launch it into orbit. It would be simply too expensive.
Just because ATI doesn't have drivers, doesn't mean its a bad thing. Just look at the GATOS project. I have been using these drivers for years with excellent performance. Even my TV Tuner in my old Rage128 AIW works good and I can capture to MPEG.
Now I don't know (or have I tried) anything about their Radeon support. I simply don't have a Radeon card. But if it works as well as the Rage and AIW, then these are definitely the drivers for you!.
I bought the CD yesterday at USENIX (being held in my home town of San Antonio) for $5 at the Houston users group table. I hope this release is better than the 4.7 I have on my Dell laptop now.

The big picture your missing is that Abdula and Apu can do exactly what your doing for a 1/3 of your salary.

Hey thanks biatch! I welcome comments from other fat bastards like yourself.

is already /.'ed... wonderful.... Mirror anybody?
I know there IS a MSN plugin currently for GAIM, but will it be updated to the newer crappier version?
So when will the plugin be available for GAIM?

I didn't think of this. Do they still say there is ice on Mars? If so there is our water and propulsion solution.

I love Discovery Science Channel ;)

Uh, so if a movie *can* be edited for children, why would you let your kids watch it in the first place?
I was under the impression that AIX was completely rewritten from scratch. If this is so, WTF does SCO have to do with revoking IBM's license?
Sounds like vapor warez to me
Has NVIDIA released 5.x drivers yet?
