Im sorry that is flatly untrue. Read an old filter design text (from the 50's) now read one today. in *SOME* ways engineering is easier, in **SOME** ways it is harder. An EE used to have to have a mastery of E-Mag, now its just a (god let me get through this) class.
If you are high up in research its probably a little harder today (and the number crunching is nice) but if you are doing system design its far easier. Like programming, even though we can do much more today than 30 years ago its far easier to program today than do it with machene code..
Generally I despise the french, but when they stormed and sunk that hippie boat I was laughing so hard it hurt. Have some wine and cheese froggie's its on me this time..
As for Isreal, they are the only democracy in an area where everyone wants them blown off the map, they gave up land only to have rockets launched at them from that territory. They offered 95% of what the PLO asked for only to be rejected. They daily have to put up with suicide bombers, even with 9/11 americans (and euros) cant comprehaned what that must feel like. Both sides kill innocents but the PLO and their lackies go out of their way to do it. When the twi towers and the lives of 3000+ americans (not to mention their famlies) were destroyed the Palistinians cheered in the streets. Go Isreal...
Oh so it was the peace loving lefties ripping up seattle when the world bank was there?
Militia groups are people who believe in the second and tenth amendments, those amendments that the 'Social-Justice Activist' would love to get rid of.
youre such an illerate dipshit... I ahve said ten times that they have **DONE** nothing wrong, I ahve said their attitude was endemic (sp?) of M$ view of people, 'if your not buying it and using it as we see fit you **MUST** be a theif'.
Im done with you if you cant even understand what I am saying..
Yes of course because as a republican I want kids to get a crap education, starve in schools, and be hooked on drugs. You people are so pathetic, you have to demonize somebody becuase they haver different political beliefs than you?
My parents were poor republicans (registerd democrat in NY), yes there are many of them. They were republicans becasue they did not believe in an overly strong federal governemnt. I am a middle class Conservative because the republicans have begun to want too much power for the federal government. But nothing like the Democrats who want to give land to the UN, take away all states rights, take away any speech they define as 'hate', and try to censure thought through 'hate crime' laws.
If it makes you feel better to call republicans cocks instead of engaging people on the issues you deserve the biased opinion indymedia will give you..
The problem is these leftest freaks think the ANG and other military personel are all baby killers. These people are left of left of left. They are as extreme as the militia groups everyone wants to go after..
The same attitude that says if I am trying to rip mp'3 I must be stealing them, its not like I might own the CD.
Along the same lines I might want to put a different platform on the hradware that **I** own, MS does not have to make it easy, but dont assume I am a theif if I do..
Hey moron I said for the X-box not as a whole. As a whole they have an awesome buisness model, but their market penetration for x-box has been far below their initial expectations and the boom of vendors dying to sell gmeas on the platform has not become the reality they told people it would be...
If I can buy an orange and turn it into a PC its my buisness, not the flordia growers assioations.. Once I buy it how I use it is of no concern to them..
Ok for the really really slow people reading this ill use small words..
Bill chang xbox ok, he ok to change xbox. me not like how he look at xbox owners who change xbox. bill do xbox change legal..
Do you get it, I dont expect them to support it, I dont expect them to like it, I even expect hradware updates (they are a good thing), what I dont expect is for them to use this and other FUD to portray someone who is using his/her own equipemnt as a theif.
If they wanted to update the bios becuse it makes the xbox cheeper, better, faster, more in alignment with the fifth house of saturn, FINE!! but to do it for the sole purpose of keeping people who buy it from uning it any way they see fit is what makes them scumbags..
This is such a stupid friggen argument. If I really want to play xbox box games I am going to buy and use an xbox (and games), if I want to buy an xbox to hack around with I am going to buy the xbox and hack with it. If I cant hack my xbox ***I WONT BUY ONE***, nobody buys an xbox to play the platform games and then decides 'hey I dont want to play these games anymore because I can hack it'.
None of this matters, I am not saying that they do not have a reason, I am saying their reson is part of their problem. I am sorry its ***MY*** X-box, I did not rent it from them..
Of course they do, my problem is how they view the people who buy their equipment. Do you understand that spunky??? Why the hell do they care if I hack ***MY*** xbox..
This has nothing to do with being a zealot, They can do what they like on the desktop (windows), but when it comes to my tax dollars windows does not belong on a server with information that is no to be public knowledge.
They should use *nix because its far more secure than windows (on the servers). If you lock down windows on the desktoip so that all files are stored on a NFS/Samba server than use windows on the desktop..
The crap about a learning curve is just that, crap.
Security through collective ignorence?? How long was M$ saying there was not blue screen of death in NT? If you dont publically say what is wrong a company wont fix it.
That being said I do thing ou give the comapny a little notice (at most 5 days) before you release it..

Beyond this for higher math you need a brain.
Notice I said smaller federal government, now at the state level I would fight for smaller govt too, but theat is my fight in NY not someone in CA..
It must be nice to be in a party in which everyone has a better handel on everything than anyone else in any party..
If youre canadian its only a matter of time till our constitution applies to you ;)
Who has made more money you or them??

Just because M$ has a shitty buisness model for the X-BOx does not make me theif for hacking it..
Damn it listen, I have no problem with MS changing hardware (upgrades are good), what I dont like is the attitude behind it.

Because god forbid that we actually run custom software on a piece of hardware we supposedly 'own'..
This is not flamebait, I cant stand M$ as an os but blix had a point, whoever put this one down needs to check themselves...

Because you can be held legally responsable if you make it known your sharing your network for what oithers do on that network..
