I find it is almost impossible to buy a.com domain anymore, at least one that isn't just a random bunch of letters. And the problem is that almost everything you try will just end up going to a site with a load of ads and not pertaining to the subject matter of the domain name at all. Maybe there should be a rule against this... buying a domain JUST to put up ads should be illegal.
But I suppose when one is googling, the easiest thing to do to find good results is to NOT click on.com links, instead go for the.org links which usually contain actual information.
Hey, since we're on the topic of domain sales, I own customalbum.com and it's for sale. Never did anything with it. Anyone have ideas for what I could do with this domain (other than try to sell it)?
maybe they should all switch to Linux. Security problems solved. Or not. Well, I'm confused now with the recent slashdot articles telling me Windows is more secure, and then that Windows is insecure.
Just kidding. I don't believe the that "Windows is more secure" shit for a minute.
I had purchased a subscription to the new Tux Magazine (first issue was supposed to come out this month) and got a letter in the mail last week saying they had not gotten enough subscriptions to make it viable, so it would be pdf only. Anyway, they refunded my money. But really, I don't care about reading pdf versions of magazines... there is a reason I like the dead-tree kind, you can lie back in bed while you read them.
Is slashdot required to try and balance the amount of pro-microsoft articles with the amount of anti-microsoft articles? I would guess yes. Microsoft does advertise here and I think in return wants compensation. Slashdot is just Microsoft's whore. Am I right?/watch this get modded -1//the truth can not be suppressed!
except that Linux / KDE / Gnome / etc... are free! As in freedom! I don't care how much better OSX is. It is owned by a large corporation. It's not "mine". So, please, all you OSX/Apple people, get that thru your think heads... people like Linux because of the Freedom, something which you don't get with Apple.
I mean, there is only so many tens of thousands of people you can sue and ruin their life for a petty crime like copyright infringement. When will we start seeing people physically attacking the large corporate structures that control us and own us?
I am sick and tired of Microsoft... and so is everybody else. Let their days of monopolist dominance and crappy software be over! DIE MICROSOFT DIE! LONG LIVE LINUX!
Tweak both IE and Firefox with speed mods, then test page load times on webpages served by Linux/Apache and MS/IIS. Those are some test results I'd be interested in seeing.
The girls on that site are undeveloped. They look like little kids. If anyone has been brainwashed by too much TV and movies, depicting children as sexual objects, it is you.
Just googled for "child super models" and it's freaking sick! These sites have got to be an FBI honey pot or something for tracking kiddy-pervs. I mean little kids, even if not naked, in obvious sexually seductive poses with skimpy clothing is just plain wrong. *shudders*
OSS software has great *ability* for interpolation... whether some big name OSS products do it properly or not is another question. It is very easy to make an OSS product interpolate with any other OSS product. The code is all there to be seen and modified, nothing is hidden (as with Microsoft products). As the OSS community grows, there will be more and more adherence to standards, while Microsoft goes on pushing their proprietary "interporable" products. In the long run, OSS will win.
NO IT'S NOT! You can NEVER have too much storage space available. Never ever never. Never. Ever.
I like the idea of being able to back up my entire current CD archive library and DVDs to a couple of HVDs. And I look forward to the day when we will be at 10T... then I can even make redundant copies of my data on the same HVD.
Even though I use Linux at home myself, I still think that Windows controls most of the public mindshare... in that everybody knows Windows and are scared of moving to new platforms. People tend to stick with the devil they know. I really wish both Mac and Linux would start gaining some ground here, and they will, as long as Microsoft keeps ignoring security problems and not updating IE. That's right Microsoft, just keep sleeping...
because it means one step closer to the "number of the beast". I think at some point the conservative christian crowd is going to realize who they're following and there is going to be a big backlash... dem's don't need to worry about winning the next election.
I've heard that bloggers using banner ads from google adsense are starting to make money. So, maybe this is the year for you to start your own blog and rake in the cash.

I wonder how well voice command gaming would work? See here for one example.

Get sites like slashdot to say it enough times... and the geeks will eventually believe you.
Give me liberty or give me death! Long live Firefox!

I was one of the web developers for these two Canadian green energy sites.
canwea.ca
skygeneration.ca
Both of which are hosted by a green web host, appropriately called thegreenwebhost.ca

The difference is that at the swimming pool the little girls aren't in sexually seductive poses.

For every one site that shuts down, two more spring up to take its place.

They seem to still be very readable. I don't get all this "only lasts a year or two" crap about CDRs. Obviously this is false.

is that gollum is a obsessive compulsive, paranoid schizophrenic. Am I right?
and their superior sense of "morality".
Grow up.
Did they learn NOTHING from the movie Godsend?
