As both a TimeWarner and DynDNS.org customer, I agree. Static IP's are overrated. My "dynamic" IP hasn't changed since I started running my server a month ago. I have the dynamic IP daemon running, but I'm not even sure if it's working or not, because the IP hasn't changed yet! I've even see the cable modem lose it's connection (happens every once in a while), reconnect, and still use the same IP.
Does someone know the cost of UPS's "WorldShip" application? I don't know if this is developed in-house or not, but I would guess they want everyone to use it and this is why they won't help the competition. The most likely reasons being so everyone has to pay for it or to keep it consistent. I would guess the former....
That said, I've had to deal with both installing it, and to a limited degree, using it. It feels like a poorly written VB app. Very amatuerish and unprofessional, IMO. And this is their "global" solution.
$15... LOL! Man, that's a good one! I don't know where you are, but here in WI, we have these things called "taxes" and there are all kinds on landline phone bills.
I get 900 anytime, and unlimited night/weekend minutes. No long distance anywhere in the US. For me, the 900 would be overkill, but I share the account with two friends. My total bill amounts to $50/month, for three lines.
Please explain this $50/month bill for: 900/unlimited
+ free LD
+ 2 extra lines
all from US Cellular... I have US Cellular and even AFTER switching to a new plan, I'm getting 700/3000, free LD, +1 extra line for something like $70 after tax.
So if you could give me some more details, it could be very beneficial to me... Thanks.
I worked at a very large company and my boss was noticably upset that I changed a windows cursor from Windows Default to Windows Animated.
The main difference being that the hourglass rotates when it's busy.
He was so upset in fact, that he used this as a reason to fire me, even though I had never done anything else wrong, or received any warning... It was quite strange, but I guess I learned my lesson!
Yes! Quake games could go on 24/7 with people joining and dropping constantly. Duke3D would have to stop and start after each freakin game. That ALONE is enough to make Quake better.
Let's see... Your sources are the U.S. Military and CDI. CDI describes itself like so: "CDI was founded in 1972 by recently-retired, senior U.S. military officers."
Do you really expect those sources to say "Wow, the Patriot really doesn't work at all! We're sorry for leading you to believe it does during the all of Desert Storm. Oh, and we need more of your tax dollars, please."
I suggest reading this article from a pulitzer pricze winner during Desert Storm. I certainly place more trust in that than something coming out of a "us.mil" domain or it's close ties...
But I sure as hell would rather take that chance, then release a murderer back to kill again, or give him free room and board for life with my hard-earned tax dollars.
You haven't done your research. It costs MORE PER EXECUTION than it does to keep a single inmate in prison for LIFE. I can't remember exactly, but I think this is due to the exponential amount of time spent in court, etc, when you're on death row.
I'm not going to argue your other point, but this cost issue is something that the pro-capital punishment folks are wrong about, more often than not.
Well, after a few didn't go through and it began to piss me off, I began sending SINGLE WORD emails as a test. Then it became pretty obvious what the problem was.
My girlfriend works for a big, nation-wide company. We use email to communicate. I've recently discovered that if I send her an email witht the words "fuck", "shit", "ass", (based on testing just those words) and who knows what else, it will never be seen by her. Now the REALLY irritating part of this is that the employees have ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT THEIR INCOMING MAIL HAS BEEN DELETED! So this leads to about ever third message being "Hey, did you get my last email?" Having worked in IT, I can't believe that they filter messages, with no notice, based on SINGLE WORDS. What happens when an exec gets a little excited and sends someone an email like:
"You bet your ass we're gonna break the profit record for Q3!"
and that message never gets delivered, without any notice whatsoever to either party...
I have a P3 1 GHz, 640 Mb RAM, 32 MB GeForece2 GTS, XP, DX9.
nvidia 29.42 drivers. The ones higher than that (that I've tried) caused graphical glitches just sitting at the desktop. I think I tried 32.xx and 40.xx or something around there. I doubt these drivers are causing a problem as all of my many other games run great.
I swear it feels exactly the same as the original. My character moves so slowly it's like he's walking through water. And of course the rebooting I mentioned.
I just installed it on my (hey, I'm being truthful) XP box. Ran the GTA settings file for setup. Ran the game. Not only does the game run very sluggish, but when I change video modes to ANYTHING 16-bit and even some of the 32-bit modes, my computer restarts. I've never seen this behavior before with any piece of software...game or otherwise. The ORIGINAL version ran better than that on this machine!
I remember eating Ramen for so long, I developed an allergic reaction to the flavor packets. I would scrounge any scraps of vegitable matter or cheese, or ketchup packets just to give those noodles some taste. I remember commuting for an hour each way from my parents place
Hey! I'm eating ramen right now and this isn't helping me any!
I only put cumin spice and pickle juice (which I saved from a empty jar of pickles) God, I can't wait to get out of school!

So you needed to replace your setup because the backup software was no longer supported by the manufacturer...
And you replaced it with a setup running Windows NT...software that is hitting it's EOF this year (I think).
I find that somewhat amusing. I know it's not the same thing, as the OS can be changed, but it still seems kinda silly.

$15 a month for unlimited local calls

If advertisers weren't so obsessed with tracking EVERY little thing you do on the web, there wouldn't be anyone opposed to cookies.
Blam them for ruining that one.
Yeah 2/3rds according to the US-controlled media sources. The same media that always under estimates anti-war rallies, etc...

Actually, The Onion covered this matchup in their Point-Counterpoint section about 3 years ago. It was most excellent.

I agree 100%!

I wouldn't waste your time trying to download it.
SCO would like to change that.

Why don't you just use the middle mouse button to click on the links and achieve the same effect?
That seems a lot easier than reaching for the CTRL-SHIFT and then clicking.
Would a cashless society mean that everyone will have to bring their own card reader along with them to the poker game?
"Full house! Hand over your cards!" [swipe swipe swipe]
Just press tab and it will highlight and cycle through any clickable link. Seems a lot easier than guessing where to click.
