What happens to IT staff/ techos that make millions themselves through stock options in the late 90s?
You become lazy rich yuppies (see the yahoo ceos daughter on mtv? gawd) and your brain turns into drivel that cannot innovate.
Go on a 4week engineering brain storm trip, no girls, no CC cards, no email to your wifes.
That will give you 5 years of engineering brillians between 10 smart people.
How hard is it to kill all the bots/fake accounts? how about killing all accounts with a prefix of 5 or more digits or AAAAA prefixes. Suspend millions of them, and if there is no real person requesting it be turned back on its a bot, no response in 90 days, rm -rf the damn account.
Or is yahoo claiming 250 million users, yet its only 90million real people and the rest bots?
Hey, when there is a WW3, and nukes and all.... the fat people will NOT starve to death, all the thinnies will waste away with in 3-4 weeks, while th fatoos will last 8-15 weeks min. Hopefully some radiation protection is there too, ie , more mass.

If everyone was 400% more efficient with text based consoles, we would need less people employed and more people as slum sucking looosers on the street.
Havent you learned, in-effecient systems keep more populace employed and thus under more control.
Besides, keyboards suck, when you're drunk and want to get some work done.
All religeons are false and created by political people to control the masses (which are mostly dumb any way, just visit any govt dept)
So the aliens came along, being nice and all were not that much of a show off, but were amazing, but the people were so utterly stupid they called em gods, (total lamers really) . Then the aliens got pissed off that these loosers just had such small brains and that very few 0.0001% actually were smart to comprehend true science.

Tell me one insurance company that can bring people back from the dead, and talking to them doesn't count. Not that they would say anything usefull, as all ghosts are NOT helpfull and will never reveal the truth/life/everything about the afterlife, or what they do, if they sleep or not, or if they time travel or if they have a govt of sorts or leaders that say "you cannot reveal much to living souls"
If a darn ghost was that usefull, Einstein would have told someone the answers too all. Unless they dont know any more than when they died. But if the soul gets reborn into another human, then contacting your dead relative might be fruitless as they cannot 'return the call' if they are 3 years old in a baby somewhere in India, unless they are timeless but then that gets too wierd to imagine.
They should have just placed a P4 cpu on that rig to keep it warm, and if it starts getting cold, slow down the fan or stop it. If the box is well insulated, then the real problem would more likely be TOO much heat that cant be got ridden off because of the low presure in air. Paint the 'probe' white too btw to reflect the suns heat if its too hot or black if its too cold.
Well, really, is there ever any true unbiased opinion? by its nature, it has to be biased, even in subtle ways. Its impossible to approach exactly 50%, because how do you measure bias truely accurately like electron charge?
Since the ipod can only do 20000hz max, the AACs and mp3s therefore should be encoded to be max 40000bps, not 44k. But since the originals are 44k, then this is distorting the original. Unless originals are at 96k, it would be nice to have 96k files from apple.
Is it so hard to show a NTSC game in PAL mode but 60hz and the same res as NTSC? Yes you can. There are xbox games that do that.
And if you must do 50hz for old tvs, then do it in 576, but do it in cropped mode where you show full 640x480 in the same field, so you get black bars, big deal.
The region locking is nothing about difficulties playing ntsc on pal tvs, its trivially easy. Its to keep the cartel sales distribution happy.
EVeryone, why is there a copyright 'requirement' because if someone copies it and uses it for free its a lost sale?, but the big but and the hole grail but is, that all 'ingringements' are LOGGED and accountable and chargable.
ie. if youtube makes 15c of each video viewed, then give back 50% back to the owner. Solution solved, everyone wins , no one losses. Except those cocaine addicted criminals who run corporate media cartels. Its not a lost sale if you know how much was made and when and by who.
CD players can do gapless, circa 1986 etc.. whenever...
Its part of the spec, unless its burned in that way, ie, listen to dj mixes.
ipod gapless is long over due, someone decided to think for more than 3 hrs to figure out how to do it, but go throught 17 forms and 6 managers before that feature request got approved and budget assigned.;-)
So the banks can ask for their money, but people cant ask for their withdraws?
NOTE: everyones deposits are only 11% guranteed by govt law, so in the event of a total dollar/currency/depression-II , you only get 11% . The rest, "Sorry, its gone!"
Maybe I'll tell the bank, "sorry, the govt only gurantees 11% of my debt to you!"
They arent, they are a "yes boss" sort of person, the govt higher ups never want people with ambition or self thought. They want chickens. People who dont rock the boat and are easily coersed into doing 'not quite moral stuff'.
They purposely make many many layers of mangement and control so no one really knows whos in charge. Every person handles only a small part of some 'file' and that way, no single person is wholey responsible if someones life is utterly screwed up by loosing their house/credit rating etc... because some idiotic 58yo racist MOFO places someone on a watch list because of a some 12 point check list designed by some so called smart MBA who trained at some neoCON university.
Step 1. Get some new programmers on the team that NEVER touched myth before Step 2. Give them free reign to make a better auto setup/install interface.
Always new fresh people will see short commings easier and spot weaknesses faster than if someone who has been using it endlessly for years and are used to all the quirkiness/shortcuts whilst knowing all the hidden features or not easily documented features or options that might be not quite logically laid out.
Just look at XBMC for the xbox as a player it rocks and its easy.
If the issue is with drivers, then recompile them on 4-6 different linux's for gods sake. Is it really that hard to make official releases with proper drivers that work in 90% of linuxs? Even if you require 16 copies of the same driver, DO IT!!!

Nasa ages ago used a long long tether to generate power, but it made too much and blew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tether)
So attach something like that to your rocket, get the power to 'push' yourself somehow using all those megawatts. Strong electro magnets?

Dude, have you seen aussie tvs?
Even crap ones from 8 years ago could do NTSC.
Dont forget we have somewhere near 15% asian population here, so there is a large demand for NTSC/JAP compatibility.
Just about every single analogue tv chipset from philips etc.. supports PAL/NTSC, it makes no sense
to make two chips when making one is easier.
Is it so hard to show a NTSC game in PAL mode but 60hz and the same res as NTSC? Yes you can.

Spend the money on booze instead kiddies.
1. many banks offer 'savings internet accounts' that offer 4.5-5.5%, just ask. .au)
so you can xfer back and forth any time. (at least in
2. Spend $600/monthly on gold coins, at kitco.com , no bank or CIA agent will know you have it inside your PC or fake cake.
CIA morons are stupid twits, how old are most? 28-35? Born in the 70s, grew up in the 80s maddonas age, probably never
touched a computer till 1998.
