MP5s are used because they're small, lightweight, extremely accurate, and have very low recoil. Aim is more for the chest and then head. MP5s are for putting them down fast.
If there's a box on his network that he doesn't know about then either he needs a new network analyzer or new networking people that know what they're doing. Not trying to be a jerk but you should know what is on your network and if you don't, then you're not paying attention and/or trying hard enough.
you do realize that the computer sits in a metal box, right? Just checking...
and I would imagine that you could provide ventilation entry and exit points and still keep the noise down..
I'm not taking every CD I have with me to work... I constantly download the same music I have at home, to my work computer...
and I see your point, but you can't go around just assuming that everyone using a specific service is guilty until thier proven innocent... it's the other way around....
also, the fact that I am getting them from someone that I don't know, means that it doesn't seem unreasonable that "I" might be infringing is a fallacy...
Privacy is the cornerstone of the right to birth control? I don't think the feds care about what type of condom you use.....;)
EITHER WAY, I really don't want to get into a debate regarding one way or the other, but rather bring up a point. The reason that there are lines being drawn in the sand is because they are trying to figure out how much liberty people will give up to feel safe. With the amount of violence around abortion centers and their practices, I would think that even a little more protection would be welcome. I agree that it's something personal and should be private, but that's almost like saying "Someone's gonna come here and do something, we're not going to tell you who, but we want you to make sure they're safe...." Something has to give.... no?
virtual desktops is not the point. The point is more space. I've LIVED on dual monitors for a few years now and it's hard to go back to a single monitor no matter how many virtual desktops you have. You have so much space that your eyes can take in but you are limiting it. Your peripheral vision can take in events that need attention. My email sits on the monitor to the right while my error screen sits to the left.(different cpu) A flick of the eyes saves the time of clicking back and forth and getting sidetracked. I know that seems petty, but when you're knee deep in perl code, not worrying about looking around and changing things is much easier. Not to mention the ease of seeing reference code on a different screen while typing on your main screen. Virtual Desktops are nice, but more monitor space rules for productivity.....really...
to a point, yes.... I have a little better... I have a voodoo5 5500... I took my dual voodoo2's and stuck them in my dad's deskpro 2000 (P1 166)... it was like the power came on or something... HOWEVER, my card, my nice shiny card, plays everything just B...E...A...utifully.... with two exceptions... Battlefield 1942... and UT2003.. why? T&L support. While my voodoo 5 is a badass card by any other standard, (or at least comparable to a geforce 2 of it's time that HAS T&L, and runs both games) I'm stuck with not being able to play the newer games that are coming out. A buddy even recommended I buy a geforce2 on the cheap but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $60 on a card of the same caliber just for the T&L when I bought this a year, year and half ago for $300+...I'd rather wait and buy another card like a geforce4 TI or something when it comes down. Damn thing is only a year old. Either way, the point was that the voodoo series was an awesome line, to a point. I HATE that it's going/gone, but as long as you don't need to run the newest games, they're great....
I'm gonna get shot for this, but are there any comparative benchmark sites around? I've hacked away at msql and mysql but I'm working on a rather large project and now I'm starting to think that maybe I should at least look at something other than mysql just in case. (it's REALLY large) While I usually take slashdot banter about this in the same perspective as VI vs. Emacs, I'd really like to find unbiased answers to settle this in my head.
yeah well EQ is going on thier 4th or so as well... 95% of all people are over level 50 so it's now a game to see who has the coolest stuff. Verant is milking it as well with the Planes expansion pack and Legends server(s?) where you get "premium" customer service. You know what? Maybe if they had customer service that was worth a damn I'd buy into that idea. Anyway, I think most of us are just waiting for the next good game to come out.

god forbid they have a bootable CD of morphix or some shit... Elitists are dumb.(sic)

ZING! What I'd give for a mod point right now! ;)

correction...people that find are addicted should learn not to overdo such things... sounds like you have some exerience.
ahhhh... that I agree with... I somehow got the impression that they were nabbing you for downloading them... thx for the clarification...
that I don't know and that has infringed a copyright , means...... it's early...

guh...I was trying to reply to the message that has no score...not the main parent... *sigh*
No, they would have to prove that I don't have the CDs. (at least in the U.S.)
"then the shark turns into a boat."

ummmm..the same people today? Just a guess...... If their present tactics haven't swayed the herd, you'd better try harder....
if you guys were really smart you'd post the link here and slashdot 'em....

So we should start replacing words in our dictionaries?
