You should be happy about it. WE PAY FOR THE WATER RESULTED FROM THE RAIN!!! The tax says something like you must pay x amount/square meter of roof * m(the average quantity of raining water in a year in your region) - the resulted amount is small per capita, but is a tax. Is buried somewhere with other taxes and most of the people don't even know that they pay it.
On the other hand I pay 25 lei(~7.8$) for 5-6 Mb/s download and 4-5 Mb/s. And I have the latency to play TF2 on UK servers. Oh.. and no caps.
And forgive the kid that uses DC++ most of the techies around here moved years ago to torrents.
So true... when I start on a server I usualy just work hard to make the first gold... or beg for it. What ever is my mood.
After that I go strait for lowest ore... if is cheaper then the bar, I turn it into bars. If not I buy what ever is under a certain price and sell everything at that price.
Usually I can corner the market for lower ore in a few days and make around 50 gold in 24-48 hours from starting on that server. After that is buying and waiting for the stupid players to put high prices due to lack of resources. And sell well below that. And you can move on and make loads of money with other items. The start is the hardest.
Same here. I've learned from trying to install once gentoo more then I've learned installing any other distro. And I plan to do it again. But first I want to setup a small NAS, but I can't decide what to use.
Man... you are posting exactly the same thing in every thread about AMD... it's always the bucket full of chips.
From the socket A to socket 939 (I don't wha to remember 754... amd really shafted us with that socket - but they are almost forgiven with the AM2 - AM2+ and AM3) there is a huge difference.
I can tell you that now I have more burned chips from Intel D series and none from AM2/939/754. Can't say the same about MB's.:(
Oh yeah... tell me about that one click automation.
I just came back from a client, they have 32 computers - all with more then 512mb and >2ghz cpus some brand name and some white boxes. I work alone so it took me ~7 days to backup everything, redo the network and clean all the machines. Had to clean install some of the machines. So I said to my self let's take CT's offline update, update all the machines to sp3 and latest and then let the autoupdate do it's work... in the first day everything was fine.
All fine and dandy until the next day when almost every machine would lose the ability to print locally and in network... some would restart the print spool service others would just drop any print job given to them. All thanks to sp3. Most of the printers have drivers that predate sp2.
So don't tell me that update would solve everything. For me autoupdate was a bigger pain then not having it.
Vista is in a constant state of sucking: 0) Useless clicking... the same task compared to XP your are going to get double the clicks and prompts. 1) What ever you do on the HDD it asks you for admin... you can elevate your program to admin, but that is of limited help. What ever you do is going to take you longer than on XP. Copy/remove operations are down to a crawl compared to XP. And yes the system is up to date with sp1. 2) Want to unrar something with a third party program that calls a rar.dll no luck... is going to ask you for admin rights to write on C:\ you give it, it's ok... but if there is another directory in that file, you are out with a prompt telling you the program has no right to write a subdir. Not Vistas fault you'll say.. but is annoying as hell. And there are more... Like vista deciding that my XP partion needs a chkdsk at start up... and at the next reboot good bye MBR you will be missed.
So vista compared to XP sucks big time.
And why do you feel the need to cover your arse from all directions saying that you use Ubuntu, used OS X. But you call us fanboys...
My gripe with Vista is that is not an improvement on XP.
Oh yes. And it gets annoying as hell when you need thing done in a hurry and plug your flash drive or something else in your PC and you are working writing something in word. All of a sudden you have to halt everything just to say allow to something else, that could just go in background and not put everything in background.
Don't fucking ask me if I want to install something if I have the stupid autorun removed, just ask me when I want to access the device.
There are the little things in Vista that makes it so ugly. Like trying to change the screen resolution, why the fuck do I have to open 3 windows just for that and close them one by one? What was wrong with 2000/XP way of doing it? Why on earth would I want 6 ways to get to the same option opening as many windows?
Or why not just give me a command line to get where I want. I can type faster then mouse navigating to what I want.
I know I'm not your average PC user, I'm a PC tech. But if you are making my job harder I'll go my way around to swing my customers away from it, not that I need to do that anymore.
The improvement is small, don't waste your money on that. Depending on what you do, you can improve the performance with some dual channel memory with better timing.
Get your head out of your... If would've said Athlon XP I would say yeah... that shit happens. I have a heap of them around. But not Athlon 64 all the motherboards I know from socket 754 upwards shut down when the temperature of the cpu hits 90*C. So stop banging the Intel drum. I just hate the shit cpus they made on socket 478. I would recommend anyone Pentium D or Celeron D for the love of god, they suck compared to Athlon64.
I usually take the Athlon64 way for anything budget. If there are money to spend I go for the C2D + P43/45 + 4850/9600gt. And don't buy crap motherboards. I think the P45 is the new BX chipset.:)
That's you. But for me WinRar is the best compression tool in the world.
The interface is the same that it was years before, the only thing that is changing is the compression algorithm. I would like to see this kind of consistency from all other programs. A simple and intuitive interface that doesn't change when the version changes.
I understand your pain, I use it only to compress my files, when I send something out is in zip. But that doesn't make WinRar a bad program.
It's my "office computer" and my "gaming computer". I usually don't load all the craps on it. I have other computers for that. I kill all the apps in the start up, except drivers and virtual printer (print to.pdf). Mail and messenger start by default, the mail even gets all the mail before Nod32 comes up.
And yes, I can get to a usable windows in ~ 15 seconds.
The only thing I hate is the hang up at the shut down. I expect to press the power button and be done with it... but no, something has to pop up and ask me for interaction. So now my power button sends my computer in sleep mode. And I shut it down only when I'm out for a day or so.
I've heard this argument before... "If you want to believe you are a monkey, good for you!"
There is no such thing as believe in evolution!!! Evolution is the better and simpler explanation at the moment. It is a theory like many others. We can accept it as explanation until we get a better one.
Morality is/can be part of an evolutionary process.
On the other hand I think that when you believe in a god you are putting yourself in a lower position then the animals you so easily dismiss. You are taking every thing that a human is and becomes and give all the credit for it to a god.
So I may even say you are the product of your god, leave me alone. I'm better then you I'm were I am because my ancestors survived and fought so I can waste my time on slashdot.:))
Just dived the other day for the first time with full EQ, used to snorkel for years. And my friend requested me to drop my mask and regulator at 5m depth and recover them. Easy as pie.:D
Can't wait to see if I can do the operation you described next time I dive.
side note: the first 10 minutes I was like get me out of here, in my mind, and tried to blow in the regulator before breathing, had to take my time to drop that habit.:)
Considering that you already have a folder in yahoo, I assume that you already have a label for that email and proper rules for it - so there is no need to check that go and assign a label so you can take the 1-4 numbers out and just lick "Archive".
Same here... wired all the way with a FTTH connection. There are times when I get lagged with any character in Ashenvale... and no other place. But most of the time I get lagged to hell around 20 GMT. (eu servers)
All other pings to google.com and others are normal... nothing unusual.
So please don't blame the router... or the computers.
I get the same experience from other computers. And get the same story from friends that play on eu servers.
And I get random disconnects now and then, some times even without any lag warning.

I'll give you this amazing 250gb Sony USB key... What can you do for it?
This is why I come to /. once in a thousand comments there is one like this.
Thank you!

I wounder what is the price of a dream?
If USA is so pragmatic about everything I guess it doesn't need dreams. It doesn't need science, why ask questions?
For me a man without dreams is a dead man.

Looking forward to play it. :)
Thanks! Good link. :)
This is why I read slashdot from time to time there is a gem, there is allot of digging and some time is worth it. :)

Do you mean that spam-bot that granny has on her desk is slow accessing internet pages?
Sure... just bring me that flash drive that has 640GB at under 100$... and they would be dead.
Yeah... the purging the mask was fun. Did it 2 times just to enjoy the physics and let my brain take it's time with the practice... :)
Just dived the other day for the first time with full EQ, used to snorkel for years. And my friend requested me to drop my mask and regulator at 5m depth and recover them. Easy as pie. :D

OK. Let me change that for you:

One step for google... 2 steps for yahoo.
