By soldering the RAM directly to the board there is a better connection which allows them to run the chips faster. If you add a connector then you add a capacitive load and thus you have to slow down the memory. Thats not to say modular RAM could not be incorporated down the line, but for the latest and greatest its better and cheaper to solder the stuff right on the PCB (printed circuit board).
Yahoo is cool, but does not sync directly with your existing bookmarks and it does not integrate directly with your browser. Yes you can add an extra toolbar to your browser, but try adding a bookmark... pain in the arse.
Bookmarksync will take care of your bookmarks for Winboxen. You can use it to access bookmarks from work via web, add bookmarks from work via web, download your bookmarks locally to any computer, and sync bookmarks between Netscape v4.x to IE. Its not free, but it works.
- 4x SCSI was mine and may have had 500 CDs put through it. The second one I got on RMA definitely did not and will not burn except on blue moon nights. Thats OK though because it still works as a CD-ROM and is nice for OGG making.. hehe
- 16x IDE was my sister's and died within' a year. She burned alot of CDs, but no way 500 in a year.
- 12x IDE was my roommates and died within three years. No way 500 CDs, and no more warranty for him:(
Oh well, considering how cheap these things are I bought a TDK IDE burner for $50 (with rebate) and its been pretty nice burning CDs in five minutes:)
Plextor makes great drives that kick ass in ripping and copying everything that is five inches in diameter except corn tortillas, but I can't get them to last and neither can my buds:(
Original box? When I get bullshit like this from customer service I will usually call back. You would be suprised at how many times I turned a no into a yes. In any case, thanks for the info. I have never bought a Viewsonic, and with your info on their moronic box policy I never will.
We could do nothing (or do things that amount to nothing, like sit around and gripe like I'm doing right now).
Whats great though is that this is an election year in the US. I wish there was some sorta snappy campaign with t-shirts and bumper stickers that support industry freedom from Unconstitutional Hollywood DRM. Anyone making "Pro Tech Choice" style shirts, etc...?
I'm voting this November, and I'm looking at tech standpoints of my congressman! If you support Disney you can kiss my arse!
Dreamweaver is fine. Just check your code in Mozilla every once in a while and don't rely completely on the preview. Also, use layers for positioning and not tables. Tables are not meant for formatting, layers are and look great in any current browser.
My message to the RIAA... with rambling included...
Just wanted to mention that I support the IFRA. I would say almost all of the CDs I have bought over the last two years have been because of Independent Web Radio stations. The reason is because I don't listen to Pop radio much. I'm more of a heavy metal and techno guy. I would say that Internet radio has been directly responsible for my purchase of at least 20 metal CDs over the two years, and has been responsible for me attending at least three concerts. So just think... if you kill Internet radio there are lots of us non-pop listeners that just might sit back and not purchase any new CDs because we haven't heard anything new to buy... I have over 200 CDs that I like and still listen too... I can probably just sit back and listen to just those for the next five years or so without purchasing anything new. Please stop trying to kill Internet radio with CARP. Your non-pop music fans depend on it for new music. There is more to music than MTV and the Clear Channel Radio network. Internet radio helps you guys by making pure fan based radio stations that will help make your affiliates better margins on non-pop bands. Don't fear what you don't understand. Embrace the future and capitalize on change.

I think if I had more free time or perhaps I was super rich I would buy an @SSLOAD of WCIII CDs or any software and just send them back and demand a refund. That would be loads of fun, and I bet the media would laugh at it too.
I suppose, but the thing is who determines the right genes isn't always right. This may be the same for the crime gene.
If we were to make ourselves a bunch of pure breeds then as a whole we would not be a versatile bunch, and definitely would not be as resistant to disease. I guess the same could be said of dogs, not to belittle us humans though. Just an example. I kinda saw the movie as a triumph of will over genetics.
The flawed voting process? If you can't read a fskcing butterfly ballot then tough shit. Fricking whiners. I know you saw one of the ballots. I know you can't believe the actual argument that the "sore losers" (Democrats) was valid. Come on! That whole fiasco was such little kid whiny crap. Please!
Also, welcome to the United States where we the Electoral College actually makes the final call. I don't like the Electoral College. I would rather see a direct vote, but you know thats the rules set forth by the Constitution of the United States. Hell, the amount of votes that the people cast is actually not even of a concern for the Electoral College. If zero people had voted for Bush in Florida the Electoral College still could have cast their votes for Bush. You don't whine your way into the Presidency of the United States of America. So I'm glad the real "bullshit regime" or the "Gore Camp" didn't win. Even with their fancy lawyers.
Now say to yourself... "Because it doesn't happen to me doesn't mean it doesn't happen". I still get blue screens every once in a while, I still have to reboot when I install some software, etc... and yes I'm running Win2k. No my computer is not a piece of crap, all the hardware is fine, and its not overclocked.
Oh yeah, on security I remeber when I started the web server on my Win2k box and it got infected within 8-hours.. yep! 8-hours! And I had applied all the patches. What happened is when I installed the web server over the security rollup package some DLLs were replaced wih old ones. Only Windows didn't know this, so I didn't know this at the time. As further evidence, I could go to Windows Update and everything was a-ok according to MS. But once I got the virus I realized it wasn't. SO I figured out the problem and re-applied the security roll up package and everything was cool.
"The people who develop websites for a living need to realize that browser compatibility is one of the things that distinguishes the professionals from the wannabes."
Man, you hit the nail on the head buddy. If any webmaster targets only IE he is a wannabe. Not a true programmer, and definitely not a pro to any extent. If you are a true pro you know the pitfalls of the major browsers and you test your site on multiple browsers. If you are a lazy wench then you don't. Plain and simple. And yes, I do design websites.
Yeah, I watch Southpark alot and think that, but I still think its funny as hell. I should also mention that buried in their episodes is often a very strong no bullshit view, almost from a childs eye how we adults act and rationalize away certain moral issues. For example, when Cartman's Mom decides she wants to have a late term abortion... as in kill Cartman... I think 80th (exaggeration) trimester or something. IMHO its kind of a stab at the whole Roe vs. Wade debate.
OK, so they don't sell Iron? Everything is Steel or various carbon mixtures? I think you can melt anything. Of course, not necessarily in a microwave... Please elaborate:)

Lets see... my experience with Plextor
- Two dead 4x SCSI burners
- One dead 16x burner
- One dead 12x burner
Not the pinnacle of reliability, and a one year warranty to boot.
