In other news, today, CNN reported that the this year's Nobel Prize for Astronomy will be awarded to Jonathan Hersfield, who has recently published a formal proof for the theories that the sky is blue and water tends to be wet between the temperatures of 0C and 100C.
I guess "barely plays UT2004" is the new slang for "plays it at full graphics settings without a slowdown in framerate," because that is what mine has been doing since I bought it last month. I agree with the insufficient stock RAM statement, though.
And that is why I never keep more than a few dollars in my account for more than a couple days. If they want to freeze it, I will have minimal loss, and good luck taking me to court on it.
The 911 dispatch absolutely hates it when people have preprogrammed 911 buttons on cell phones, as the picture shows for this one. They get way too many accidental calls, and are required to try and folow up on any call made, thus wasting a significant amount of time.
For a perfect example, look at the University of Minnesota as they raise tuition by $1000 per year, while building seperate stadiums for each of their major sports teams. That is why I left that school, I refuse to subsidise the team-of-the-year's new stadium.
This reminds me of something a friend was working on a few years back, hardware that would search for the other like wireless cards in range, and they would self-configure to form a network with all the computers in range, no need for a base station. Not high bandwidth, but still interesting. Of course, I haven't seen him since then.
I agree with this. Platinum in EQ does not really lose value, rather items do. As more of an item enter the world, it becomes worth less. When i was addicted to EQ, I would always try to sell items ASAP, before they became common and lost value, and save up platinum because it is a much more liquid currency. Rarely would someone decline to sell me an item in exchange for platinum.
P.S. If you still play EQ, sell your junk for RL cash, I made $500 in about 6 hours, thank you PayPal.
Living northside Minneapolis, I am forced to either wait for USWest to get off their collective rears, or pay 100-200/month for IDSL/SDSL. Last year, USWest (now Quest! bleh.) said "around february 2000", then july 2000. then november 2000. now, first quarter 2001. Thank God that I am graduating in 2 months.
Also, a good friend of mine had NO PHONE SERVICE for 2 weeks after his DSL was installed by USWest. sure, they gave him a small check, but TWO weeks of no internet, no phone, no communication is not acceptable.
This site seems a little one sided at first glance. I looked at of the stuff under the "Abortion" option, and was somewhat suprised to find that everything was pro-abortion, anti-right-to-life. Somewhat od considering the site proclaimes to be an advocate of freedom of speech: both the pro and anti abortion proponants are exercising freedom of speech.
So I am a right wing conservative--flame me, I am used to it .
Please don't forget that almost all predictions about when new theories and technologies will be availible are inaccurate. Remember the flying car that I was supposed to drive to school in today?
the reason that you are only making 7$ is that someone convinced you that "you must have a degree to earn money." that is so untrue, a friend on mine made nearly twice that much with no degree, plus benefis -- the company gave him a computer i estimate to be worth $3000 after just one summer of working there. you might need to looke a little farther for someone who won't rip you off, but it is well worth the trouble --good luck!--
I actually met my significant other in a UNIX lab, at college, at about 1:30 AM. I guess i am really lucky, as most of my friends have not been able to find a girlfriend whose eyes don't glaze over when they mention an "dual-p2-600-512-meg-ram-linux-box-with-s-m-p" (thank you kristen:-)
just a warning, on my friend's dsl, the MS networking file shares are availible to other dsl users in his area, (under windows at least) so i'm guessing that samba shares would be too. i didn't notice if he was using virtuall private networking or not, but just thought i should let you know that.
Off the subject, BO2k has crashed on the win98 OSR1 and OSR2 machinge that i have tried to install it on. the GUI worked fine, as did the config, but the trojan installer I have had no luck with. anyone else have this problem? anyone actually get it to work? please let me know!
though i have always been on the extreme skinny side, i know a lot of people who neglect themselves just to get in another hour or so of their hacking or games a couple times a week. for heavens sake, people need to get up and move sometimes, and add a few years to their life: just think of the new technologies you will miss if you die earlier than you have to!

People have known for decades that coffee is not 'good' for you. Does this even deserve to be listed as news?
Be sure and call Contois Music & Technology at (802)878-8333 and let them know what you think of their innovative patents and predatory lawsuites.

I have downloaded more than 2 Gigs in a day before. Not mp3s, but movies, ISOs. heck the Shadowbane beta is a 550MB download.

I seem to recall writing a report on the Penn State research about 4 or 5 years ago... kinda old news.

This comment is NOT flamebait. Political pressure is unfortunately an influence on most all political figures.
YES!!! Imagine how good EverQuest would be with a non-crappy IP stack!
