I believe I may have the solution! If you'll kindly lower your nose to my personal equatorial zone, and pull my finger gently, I'll show you what I mean...
You seemed like you've enjoyed the game so far. Well, what's changed? So there are a few epic (honor) items that are REALLLY hard to get. How does that make it less fun for you?
Not for Dell when you factor in Intel's price discounts:-) Though I'm sure AMD would offer some discounts too.
>Where Intel has an advantage is stability.
Where does this FUD come from? Athlons and Pentiums are both completely stable processors for desktop use, and Xeons and Opterons are both completely stable processors for server use.
Prove me wrong: Show me a technical review (that wasn't funded by Intel) that proves AMD is inherently less stable than Intel.
Why not offer customers an alternative that has better performance instead of risking the lose of those customers to another vendor that does?
Because Dell looked at the numbers and determined that the exclusively-Intel price discount that Dell gets is more valuable than the potential revenue they'd get by offering AMD.
All of my simpsons, family guy, south park, and futurama episodes run in half-hour slots but the shows themselves are actually 22 minutes long; so for those shows at least it's only 8 minutes of commercials per half hour, or 16 minutes per hour. So 22 minutes per hour, if that's accurate, is nearly 50% more.
Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory - and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom.
"You can go anywhere in this world with a wave and a clipboard"
One of my favorite stories (maybe happened, maybe just urban legend) is that some guys wearing unlabeled utility worker gear parked a van on a busy NY street, put up cones (causing traffic), spraypainted lines onto the asphalt, and jackhammered a big square ditch along the lines. Then they packed up their gear, took down the cones, and drove off - leaving a gaping ditch in a busy street. And no one said a thing to them as they were working - everyone just assumed they were there doing official city repair work.
If you want to maintain a text, store it digitally and redundantly. You can keep a text for thousands of years, assuming people continue to maintain redundant copies, purely because digital files can be copied with no degradation. Paper will fade, and manual copying of text is prone to human error. As long as you keep sufficiently redundant digital copies, you'll be fine.
Technically you're correct (the best kind of correct!):
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"
All it says is that "congress shall make no law". So you're right in no way does it apply to any action a company could take, since companies are not congress, and they cannot make law.
Even in that case, a company could just shitcan all the spam, since they're not the US Government and can ignore the first amendment all they want.
I wouldn't say they can ignore the first amendment, but blocking spam fits in to the fact that while the first amendment lets you talk all you want, no one is forced to listen.
Spamming an email server is the equivalent of calling the company's secretary and demanding she take down messages for thousands of random people, and if you happen to mention the name of someone who works there, she has to give them the message.
As an adult, I should have the perfect right to ingest PCP. If I infringe on someone else's rights (creating a victim) while high on PCP, then I should be punished for that crime.
PCP is a poor choice for a legalization argument... it makes people "agitated, delusional, and irrational", according to the NIH. Those qualities in a person can greatly increase their likelihood to harm others, and it'd be irresponsible to let people walk around town high on PCP and only stop them once they've attacked someone. Though I still don't agree with it the "it doesn't hurt anyone except myself" argument could easily applied to marijuana, but PCP?:-)
And in regards to the victimless crime argument...
There are different lines drawn for different situations:
- How close to your throat does someone have to get when running at you with a knife in order for it to be considered attempted murder?
- When do you start taking a stalker seriously enough to warrant a restraining order?
- When do you stop someone for carrying a gun - when you notice it nearly concealed in his coat pocket, or do you wait until he draws it on someone?
You have to be able to act somewhat pre-emptively, or else people will get hurt. If someone's aiming a gun at someone, you knock their hand away BEFORE they shoot, not after! You can't always wait for the crime to be committed.
There just has to be a balance in that gray area where your rights end and mine begin.
Or a Beyond TV PVR bundle. $160 USD, NO subscription charges, works in any PC, and can be controlled over the internet to schedule new recordings or watch/stream existing recorded shows. With hardware MPEG-2 encoding, I don't notice any performance drop while it's recording.

Brazil's government isn forcing open source. You can install windows if you want. Actually, if they used wnidows then they'd be forcing windows, because they're spending tax money on it, whereas with linux you're not paying for something you won't use. They said that after careful thought they found they would get more benefit for less money using linux than using a cut-down windows. The $50-$100 or whatever MS is charging can be better spent on some other part of the program, either hardware or maybe an ISP stipend. Not to mention that everyone won't be locked into using Windows later when they want to conveniently upgrade years down the line.
If you find that, for example, your Firefox installation feels 'bloated' because you added too many plugins, then remove some!
Bloat is only a problem when you can't do anything about it, such as MS Word; but even then you can choose not to install some components that you don't feel a need for.
" Even if it takes you longer to code it up front you will save time later in the debugging and maintenance portions of your lifecycle. "
I wish more IT managers understood that... most places I've worked think that whatever gets us 90% done the soonest must be the best. If something costs us 5 minutes now, or 5 hours later, they always choose to wait until later.
But that logic always makes me think of how worth it it is to spend 5 minutes putting on a parachute before you jump out of a plane. Sure, foregoing the parachute will save some time up front, but it's going to make the landing much harder.
Torture is a great way for getting either of those
Unfortunately for those who would use torture to get information, it's also a great way to get people who really don't know the answers to what you're asking to invent false information just to get you to stop.
I agree, it infuriates me that the vast majority regards the government as a deity - something to grant wishes...The government is not a deity. Do not worship it.
It's also scary that people seem to have "faith" in the current administration like they have faith for their religion. They think GW can do no wrong because they think he's a "good christian man". But saying he's christian doesn't make him good, especially when his actions show him to be a selfish, greedy man with no concern for the people of his country or the world.
I personally own about $500/250GBP worth of music CDs, none of which I would have bought without P2P being there. It does help the record industry make money.
Please. Do you really think the majority of people who have 250GB worth of MP3s are doing it to go out and buy the CD afterwards?

There's a difference:
250GBP
250GB
$500/250GBP = about 40 CD's; a reasonably sized collection.
250GB = about 62,500 songs. Wow.
With the record's absence of radio airplay, big time marketing, and any other factor that may have explained this stunning success
How about the fact that it's just really good, original music?
