  1. Re:Don't leave things over on Batteries Powered by Leftover Food · · Score: 0

    by that reasoning (bear with this one):
    you shouldn't bother putting eggs in... they're a waste of the chicken's energy. just put the chicken into the battery... but the chicken is a waste of energy, since the chicken had to eat grain. Therefore, just put the grain into the battery... but the grain is a waste of energy, since it's a processed plant seed. Just put the plant from your backyard in.

    In the end, you still throw out your leftover food, which is a waste.

    in the US (oh, here it comes) it depends on the amount of coverage you have. For instance: minimum coverage only protects you from being held financially liable for the damage you have inflicted on some one else ('s vehicle). If you opt for more coverage, act of god/force of nature coverage is quite common. Of course, the price you pay is proportional to the amount of coverage you have.

  8. Mozilla on AOL: Lindows Is Misleading People · · Score: 0

    going offtopic for a moment:

    I would actually like to say that the latest version of mozilla has won me back. It finally works: really good. I even tried it from windows, and it brought a tear to my eye. I was reminded of the day of Netscape 4.x (a beautiful time), when Netscape was THE browser, and all others were not even close to being good enough. Thanks everyone who has worked on the Mozilla project.

    so, microsoft likes piracy (as long as it isn't in the US), but RIAA doesn't? ok, #2 isn't news, but i really am confused as to why bill gates would enjoy the idea. i thought M$ was all about money.... ok, that's it, i'm moving to China

    being a pennsylvania resident, i should say that this is not a case of 'imperial stormtroopers'

    i do like where you're going with this, but for my $.02 worth:
    windows/internet explorer 5.5 is actually OK. note, i did not say good, nor did i mean it, but it is SO integrated into the windows OS that it actually IS the fastest browser for Win2k...

    of course, NT/2K is the ONLY windows OS in my book, since all the others are either cartoons or just glorified DOS

  22. Re:just get everyone to upgrade to win 2k on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 1

    I don't even want to begin on this one, but i believe it's my duty to do so.
    Win2K is most possibly, the best M$ operating system ever. I can say this unabashedly, and with a straight face, because i truly believe it. It is truly compatible (it's even got support for AppleTalk) with other os's, (as long as you use Fat32, it can work with linux) but it's strong point is under NTFS.
    I have been a user of Win2K for a little over a year now (took me a while to give up dual booting 98SE and NT4) and i truly believe that it is quite a substantial OS.
    If your gripe about NT5 (Win2k) is the slow boot process, remember, you only need to boot once a day, as opposed to hourly with 9X. The time spent waiting for booting once is much less than booting 8-10 times.

    it's all there, and if you don't know how to use it, i am sorry

    i'm definitely a clone of the evil robot, you should deride me, to protect me from the evil secret of space... robot

    just because i don't like the way the M$ corporation practices business doesn't mean i'm going to shun it, but at the same time, i AM going to use the right tool for the job, which means using multiple os's, and more than one brand of software.

    and being a government employee, i do have to work every day with M$ software exclusively... fun fun. when i get home, though, i have a *CHOICE* of which OS i want to use, and i exercise MY RIGHT TO CHOOSE wisely.
