Well according to This The population is only 1,286,975,468. And 10% of that is below the poverty line.
There are some good facts about China here.
We all know there is a lot of cheap labor there in China, the question that I have...Can China price point these standards so everyone can afford them??
And does these new standards work better then what we have???
Yeah, and you forgot to mention the Best BBS game out there, it was called Nuke'em!!!!
That game rocked!!
I remember running the "The Phoenix BBS", we were the cracking group called "TBH", The Brotherhood of Hades that was our home page, I was also the warez checker. I'm sure you heard of the "The Phoenix BBS", it was the biggest, 2+ mb....
It had 2 lines, 2 mega hard drives, 2 more floppy, and it ran and ran and ran!!!!!!
Well I really miss those days, really. Most of my life, sad to say, was just sitting in my room and playing with my C64, cracking games, running for Garden of Eden (North).....life was just so simple.
Obviously the writer or Cnet has been paid to candy code a neat little article about advertizing other MP3 players.
Notice :
Of course, if you don't care about low battery life, aren't fond of jogging, have ample disposable income, don't need to record/encode music portably, and want to purchase music downloads only from the iTunes Music Store, then the iPod is the best the way to go. While not ideal for some niche activities, it's still hands down the best-designed MP3 player in the world.
The writer didn't mention ANYTHING about how good the iPod was...he referenced the iPod to all the negative shortcomings.
It should have been written like this
Despite the iPod shortcomings, the iPod is still the best MP3 on the market.
1) Selection of radio genres is not that great. If all you wanted was to listen to some high-quality Internet radio, the genres and bitrates are okay, but MusicMatch and Live365 seem to be better.
I don't know if you know this, but you can type in a URL from iTunes, it's called OPEN STREAM.
Other than that iTunes seems to be a nice app to have around for a music lover, but come on, it's just one of many.
Just one of many??? Are you crazy??? Have you tried the Smart Playlist yet??? Winamp could never be so good.
The whole playlist function is alone the best in the business.
And you don't see what Apple has done for the "PC" community, have you???
Look, I'm going to be honest here, it's a little sluggish sometimes.
But using iTunes from it's birth on a Mac, they have improved the speed with every update.
I think all of the users here on/. are not the "Masses", they are a selected few(many) who want power and speed from there machines. And are expecting TO MUCH, from the first release from Apple. You need to sit back and think about what they have done...
You have to understand that Mac OS 10.1, was slow as shit! But with Mac OS X 10.2 it's MUCH improved. And now with Mac OS X 10.3, it's even faster then the 2.
I'm trying to point out that, over time Apple has always got thier shit together and created a better product that no one can match....
Well the iTunes Music Store(iTunes) for windows will be released soon, and it just so happens that part of that is KHTML...Which Safari is based on....
So it COULD happen that Apple would release a web browser for Windows....
From the Article......
You can take all the advanced tech stuff and get rid of it if it doesn't add to gameplay and the fun factor. For example, in POSTAL 2 we give you liquid dynamics, we let you piss, throw up, and pour gasoline, this adds to gameplay but also its fun to do and actually watch as well.
Now I wonder if I could put my Ex-bosses head in there and piss on his head!!!
I'm so sick of this crap with SCO and Linux...Why doesn't someone with POWER, take this BS claim and prove once and for all, that this claim is a lie or in fact prove; that the claim is true!
Let's get this over and done with, so everyone here can move on.
Christ, let the US government STAND UP, and take this claim . Why must we "Drag our feet" over this issue!?!?!?!?
Slow decision making cost people money and a lot of grief!!!
I try not to remember users passwords at my work, just to watch my ass....But let me tell you...Users passwords are dumbest password I've seen. Everyone uses there kids name or pets name or something releated to them. That's the worst passwords in the world!!
How easy is that to hack!!! Use letters and numbers!!
My company has a bad way with passwords in the past too...the password for the MAIN NT server was....PASSWORD!! I couldn't believe that!!!
But passing a "State Bill" will have no effect on the high traffic of spam. Since, IMHO, spammers are outside of the US and find some dumbass IT guy that leave Port 25 wide open for relay use, and Spammers use that server (instead of their own) to send their spam mail. How are you going to stop that!?!?!? There are many many dumbasses out there!!!
The only true way to stop spam is to have international laws. That allows countries to send there own force to weed out the bad guys, or at least hold the Governments responsible. If the UN had any balls, this could be a reality!!! Have them setup a task force, just for this reason. To stop Spam........if Spam bothers you...Me thinks it's funny.....
So why is Safari so popular on Mac when Mozilla is available? Is it because Firebird isn't available? Although the whole Mozilla suite is kinda chunky, I think Firebird would kill Safari.
Are you out of your mind?!?!?!?!
Firebird would never kill Safari!!! You obviously never use Safari on a day to day bases.
Safari renders pages faster, has better CSS, and displays javascript way better then Firebird, on the Mac version.
I have know I idea why everyone thinks Firebird is so great?!?!!? I see no advantages using Firebird over IE on windows, and I see no advantages using Firebird over IE or Safari on the Mac either...
If Safari would come to windows(dream), then you'd definitely see why Safari is the best browser on the planet!!!

Did anybody notice that none of the "Major" toy brands made the list??
It just goes to show how much a company will go to, just to attract consumers!!
I always though that the slinky was the strangest toy!!
Hmm
How about it!?!?
How about M$ Windows!?!?!?!?
No wait, windows is not a technology, it's a cheap nockoff!!!
The only difference, in my eyes, is that Direct TV has the FOOTBALL Package, and Cable doesn't. But your a nerd, so maybe that won't matter!!
I love my DVR Cable Package.
The only plus is my Wife works for the cable company, so I have all the channels for free!!

Here are my usages specs with iTunes....
/. are not the "Masses", they are a selected few(many) who want power and speed from there machines. And are expecting TO MUCH, from the first release from Apple. You need to sit back and think about what they have done...
AMD 750Mhz 365MB of ram
iTunes = 27,440 K
MOZILL~1.EXE = 28,276 K
expolorer.exe = 18,020 K
That's not even close to 40mb.
Your box needs some IT work...

The question that I have, is...

I know they have an SDK for the Visual Plug-in's, but how about the rest??

Aw Yes, the "Corporate Red Tape"....
My company, a hugh printing company world wide, always seems to muck things up when it's time to make an IT decision.
And this one is no exception:
We are thinking of not buying anymore Macs and going all PC hardware....
WHAT?!?!?!? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!?!?!?!?!
The biggest reasons, they said, because the IT department couldn't support them. And over in Europe they are having problems.
The first thing out of my mouth was: "What are they using OS 9??"
And they said yes.
Over here in the US were using OS 10.2, and I said that's were you problems are coming from.
And it just so happens the Mac IT Tech is coming over here to see why were not having the problems.
We run Novell for file/print...for the Windows world.
The Mac's on the other hand use a Linux server Running NFS for a file server....
The Mac's do not have problems....
Corporate smucks are always trying to MANDATE everything they think that isn't "Standard".
Well sorry, but in printing the Macs are "Standard"!!!
The biggest RED TAPE, I've seen has been trying to convince Corporate, that Mac's DO PLAY WELL with Windows...
I could go on an on here...But I need to do some work!!!
Just fucking upgrade already!!!!!
