That's true. I should have been more specific on that I guess.. there are alot of things they make incompatible between releases of various softwares, but I agree that they carry alot of old garbage along for the ride as well.
When I wrote that, I was thinking of all the old programs that I had to install Win3 DLLs for, because there was no 9x counterpart.
That's a perfect example of backwards compatability as well. I do wish alot more software was that way.. and not just that which spews from the Evil Empire. (though they ARE a big offender)
Yea right.
Ads? Damn annoying, but they have their place, if used within reason. I trust the folks running the show here have a good sense of reason. Right?
Subscription? Also annoying, but to a smaller degree. Provided there is *NEVER* anything 'blocked' to non-subscribers, and that the fees are reasonable, then again I do not see a problem.
As for the OSDN bar, it's ugly, but it's small and not too intrusive at all. So I'm planning on leaving it alone.:)
As an aside, I tried a smaller subject and got a "Lameness filter encountered." message. My subject was greater then three characters, which is what that filter should be.:/
Maybe not each and every Muslim is to blame. In fact I'd be surprised as hell if literally an entire people were of one mind to do something like that. But how do you propose that we go about filtering the good apples from the bad? How would you suggest we stop the terrorism they're propagating ALL OVER THE WORLD eh?
They may not all be bad, but enough are (and are of enough magnitude) that an equally extreme strike on them is the only way. These people only understand and respect a power greater than their own, and that's only after they get the shit beat out of themselves by it. That's not MY hate, it's their own, so let the bastards live, or die, with it.
f you are a citizen of the U.S. of America, please write your representative right now and ask him to join a plea for peace. Yeah right. Maybe I should send that arab fundamentalist fuck a box of candy too? Historically the U.S. reaction to this kind of attack What? Oh yea, we get major buildings UTTERLY DEMOLISHED witht he loss of THOUSANDS OF LIVES every fucking day. Idiot. the attack has been already recorded on the books of history And so will a picture of that fuck's head on a goddamned pike.
I'm not an Anti-Katz fanatic. I happen to think he's actually a good writer.
But why in every review he does of every movie is he downing it? This movie wasn't intended as a remake. Sure, they pay homage to the originals, but how could that be avoided? It shouldn't be *compared* as it's not the same animal. Pardon my bad humor.
I've seen all of the oldschool Apes movies. And I plan on seeing this one as well. But, unlike our lofty reviewer here, I plan on crediting it on it's own merits. I would advise anyone else who watches it to do the same thing.
Are these pillars anything like the "discovery" of that lost city which so conveniently resurfaced (the discovery, not the city;) at around the same time as that "Atlantis" movie?
Speaking of that movie, am I the only one that gets irritated by the McDonald's commercial? "I speak Atlantian".. Not after I hit her in the face with a brick.;)
Ok, so from what I can tell this is how it goes: Yahoo IM = You're a loser. AOL AIM = You're a luser. MS Messenger = Youre a Nazi. ICQ = You're a hippie.
So, the logical conclusion is that "We Can't Win Either Way".:/
So, think they'd let me say hi to everyone I've ever known along with my namesake? Now THAT would impress the ladies.. I'd make sure they all go first. My family and friends would understand, it's in the name of 'progress'.;)
Just give the other guys who wanna sensor the world that tld.. (australia-sensored)
And after that we can go along with that smartcards plan.. and oh yea, I no longer wish to be referred to as Shadowcaster. Instead, refer to me by my tracking muber 2837429378465-gxq-215
What I want is a 'commercial' button on my digital box.. to shut the damn things off. They target ads for meds for irritable bowel syndrome right at 5:30ish, aka SUPPERTIME. It's disgusting..
For now, I mute the things and do something else for 15 minutes until the next 5 minute block of program..
Well, I'll always go for books myself, even with the Gutenberg (sp) project. Books don't give you that I-want-to-gouge-out-my-eyeballs headache like a CRT can.. and when was the last time you curled up in a chair next to a crackling fire with your pc in your hands? Somehow that doesn't strike me as the next Rockwell style painting..
So, I have hardly even looked around for alternative TiVo-like recorders.. I don't own one, and don't want one of *theirs*.. but I would like to glom onto one which is a bit more free (in the FSF sense if possible).
Does anyone know of any good places to start looking? And no, goatse.cx is *not* a good starting place, even if that guy could hold eight nonremovable drives in there.:P
If they're making screwy semibroken software don't use it.. If someone's idea of a 'standard' isn't to the benefit of everyone, then let the piece of crap go down the tubes.
heh.. did I read that headline incorrectly?
It looks to me (from that) as though they're pusing for games you rent, regardless of wether or not you own the disc.
I mean, read this from the initial posting:
such game software itself processes an amount of money charged with users of networked games through a credit card number
Now, the next logical step is for them to charge for the games by-use. I think I'll remain away from this hyped up overmarketed underdeveloped crap..

Testing for the survival rate of Arab terrorists hurled into the sun. Oh wait, that'd get lots of funding wouldn't it..
Maybe not each and every Muslim is to blame. In fact I'd be surprised as hell if literally an entire people were of one mind to do something like that. But how do you propose that we go about filtering the good apples from the bad? How would you suggest we stop the terrorism they're propagating ALL OVER THE WORLD eh?

Yea, that was kind of a kick in the teeth, to see them not just happy, but outright cheering..
btw, it's "Jack's colon".

I'd take Lara over Bill any day of the week myself though.. ;)
A seconding of his review does hold a bit more weight..
So it's not worth paying ten bucks to go to a theater and see it?
But why in every review he does of every movie is he downing it? This movie wasn't intended as a remake. Sure, they pay homage to the originals, but how could that be avoided? It shouldn't be *compared* as it's not the same animal. Pardon my bad humor.

Quick, someone download the source and grep it for the version numbers.. see if we can find out it's really derived from Windows/386.. ;)
Speaking of that movie, am I the only one that gets irritated by the McDonald's commercial? "I speak Atlantian".. Not after I hit her in the face with a brick. ;)

Of course there's always one more asshole out there. Right?
Oh yeah, in case you don't know how to make your browser, undoubtedtly MSN-IE, go to a url that isn't a link, here you go idiot.
So, think they'd let me say hi to everyone I've ever known along with my namesake? Now THAT would impress the ladies.. I'd make sure they all go first. My family and friends would understand, it's in the name of 'progress'. ;)
Hey, it was 4 am when I wrote that.. I realized it after I left to go to sleep, but was too tired to bother changing it..
And after that we can go along with that smartcards plan.. and oh yea, I no longer wish to be referred to as Shadowcaster. Instead, refer to me by my tracking muber 2837429378465-gxq-215

Somehow that doesn't strike me as the next Rockwell style painting..
The important question would of course be, 'Does it run Linux?' ;)
Does anyone know of any good places to start looking? And no, goatse.cx is *not* a good starting place, even if that guy could hold eight nonremovable drives in there. :P

I know I won't be using anything like that.
