That I can verify. I bought a Sony big screen that is great but also bought a Sony CDR drive that was crap. Best bet is to research your products and not buy by name base alone.
Since the bible thumpers seem to be asleep at the switch, I'll go a head and start the ball rolling for them.
Harry Potter is Evil, its the work of the devil. teaches the children the ways of satan and witchcraft. your all going to hell for this ungodly sin.. its EVILL i tell you EVILLLLLLL.
but of course you can help save the children, just send a love offerign.. call 1-900-sucker.. just think of the childrennnn not to mention my doghouse needs a new air conditioner... and I could use a bigger pool.....
Hows that? Kind of lame but I haven't had my coffiee yet.

Once again the slashdot moderation system fucks itself. Time to explain. The hobbit reference was clearly showing that the Nov. release of Clones in IMAX will be directly related to the release of the Two Towers right about that time. Also the boxed set of will be out about that time.
So the parent post was clearly on topic and correct. Please remoderate correctly.
He was hardly in the episode that is true but one must take notice of the part he played. From the lip of Jar Jar spoke the words that handed over the republic to the emperor.
It is a modern form of troll that got sucessfully moderated. I don't know if that is fucked up or what.. Sad part is their is some seriously fucked up people out there who would believe this.
I don't know where he got his numbers on 3rd world deaths from aids but they sound about right. I've been waiting for some killer disease to come out of the 3rd world wiping most of the people out. I ruled out aids but I think I might be wrong.
I see so much of these "solutions", that man there should be a top-ten list just for all the crazy/wacky ways we can avoid getting hit by an asteroid.
No, its a damn brillant ideal. You people are not thinking about this from the right direction. Its not about mass on mass, its about momentum and energy.
Think of it like this. You take a 1 kilometer rock headed in a long orbit that will one day hit the earth. So you launch a 20 kilometer airbag in a retrograde orbit. Is retrograde the term I'm looking for here?
Well anyway when the astroid and the airbag hit each other the airbag is going to be deformed from the impact. This impact is going to absorb energy from the astroid. The only place this energy can come from is from the momentumn of the astroid itself. Change the momentiumn, you change the orbit.
This couldn't be a last minute defense. We would have to intercept the astroid years in advanced but it would work. I don't think we could use mylar ether. I think we would use kevlar or something.
It's simple and that what makes it brilliant.
Okay, its 12:30 at night here, I've had 3 hours of sleep so I don't give a damn about my spelling, grammer, or my typing speed so don't bother to correct it or even complain about it.
I saw a show on the Discovery channel about this. One guy was gay and had buried something like 2 or 3 lovers or something and was still testing free of the virus. Wonder if he could have been a carrier or something. Like a modern typoid marry. Immune to the dieses but spreading it to others.
There was one other guy in the show that tested positive for HIV but his immune system was strong enough to fight it off for years. He was a 'normal' guy with a wife and some kids. I think the virus did over wealm his system and kill him eventually.
Agree'ed. You have to pass a test and get a license to drive a car but any dumb fucks can breed.

Just for the record I would like to point out that we are not at war. War requires a formal decoration by Congress, not by the President. I don't know what to call this.
Not really a good reason to use public key encryption at all. In fact it would be the worst reason. If they are monitoring your email and you start sending out encrypted messages they might think something funny is going on and call the fuzz. Next thing you know they are monitoring your key strokes, your house has been searched, and your undergoing a cavity search on suspsion of being a terrorist.
Best thing to do is get a wireless device of your own or a cell phone that sends SMS if you must send private messages from work. Hell, you can even use a pay phone if you have to.
On the note of public key encryption if they monitor your computer they would get your passkey. It would be best to set up some one time pads between your cohort. Then memorize the pad and eat the evidence. Of course the could alway pump your stomach...
I just now toasted a 1600XP this last week. The temp. on chip was hovering around 145F all the time. I put a copper heatsink on it with a 7000 RPM fan on it and cool it down to 140F but it was still to hot. After about 6 months it gave up the ghost.
After checking out the MB I found out that the bios was setting the voltage to 1.89V on the chip. No wonder it was cooking them, the core voltage for a XP should be between 1.2 and 1.4V. I had to use the jumpers on the MB to get the core down to 1.35V but the temp. on the CPU is now setting right at 127F most of the time.
Moral of the story? It might just not be a shitty heat sink that is toasting your CPU.
My computers to loud, my computers to loud! Bitch'n and a moaning. Well buy a damn Imac then.
Computers are supposed to make noise, the louder the better. Hell, my damn CPU fan make more noise than a hairdryer. Lets me know the fucker is running. I got 6 fans in my computer, move some fucking air it will. Powered the damn thing up, sucked all the fur off the god damn cat. That's okay, I like my pussy bald anyway.
Dude next door was complaining though, couldn't hear his chain saw. Got a problem with the cops too. The airport down the road keeps calling about the noise...
Exactly! This is what I've been saying for years now. Not only do you sue the spammer but you make the fucker who's 800 number or address is on the spam liable too. Once these companies start taking hits for their spam they will stop using it and those companies that clam they didn't know they where using spammer, well tough. Ignorance is no excuse.
I clicked on the email address so I could say "Hi" to some old friends. Back then if you spent anytime on Usenet there where so few people that you should have been at least familuar with everyone.
Exactly. When I need portable files I just zip things out to a CD-RW or hell even a CD-R. You can buy them in bulk for about 15 cents each. When I need to carry a lot of data in a small space I use a 3.5 CD-RW. Put a 185 MB on one disk that can be read in any computer with a cdrom in it.
My penguin box doens't have a floppy in it and I just found out my 3.5 in my windows box has been dead for I dont' know how long. Havent' used it in a year.
You are correct. Compaired to CD's FM radio is pretty bad. Since this is so your statement provides the perfect reason to use MP3 for this purpose. You can get your entire library on something the size of a can of beer. Seems to me this technology is something radio stations would jump over.
Since you have pointed out the quality difference between FM radio and 128kbps MP3 nothing is lost. This is a match made in heaven(hell?)
But if it was me I wouldn't run a radio station on 128kbps MP3's. I would use a better compression or higher quality bit rates. But still that was a compression artifact I heard and I've heard it more than once.
I don't think the important news is water in the past but there might be water remaining. I say past because no matter what the evidence shows we won't know for sure until some human or some probe holds up a cup of martian water.
While the evidence is getting real good and I do think that the water is there I'm just not 100% ready to jump into the martian water hand basket just yet.

Sorry, but I don't think spiderman has anything to do with it. I think George has bigger fish in mind or would that be hobbits?
He was hardly in the episode that is true but one must take notice of the part he played. From the lip of Jar Jar spoke the words that handed over the republic to the emperor.
That is a cool story but did it help you pick up any chicks?

We got one radio station here in Birmingham that is already using MP3. Nothing like driving down the road and hearing a MP3 artifact.
That is what back up are for. One in plain sight and one hidden some where.; As for 500, maybe he ment 500 meg? Now 50,000, there is a good start.
I don't think the important news is water in the past but there might be water remaining. I say past because no matter what the evidence shows we won't know for sure until some human or some probe holds up a cup of martian water.
While the evidence is getting real good and I do think that the water is there I'm just not 100% ready to jump into the martian water hand basket just yet.
I thought I read somewhere there was some volcanic activity that helped form the Grand Canyon. I might have seen it on PBS or something also.
