or, the price that retailers like bestbuy pay for those iPods. They normally buy an iPod shuffle for about $95 and sell it for $99, and so on. *conspiracy theory* Thats why retailers like things like the Rio Karma, since they have a higher profit margin than any other brand. Why do you think BestBuy and CircuitCity don't push apple products?
...when I was like 8 years old. I just wanted some email to read. I didn't know where to goto on the internet, or where anything is. I bet new computer users might enjoy it IN MODERNATION, and would like it if they could opt-out. If SPAM was marked with an identifier in the header, and all mail clients let it come in automatically, and the offers were legit, then it might actaully work. But all this V1@GR4 NOW@@@ isn't gonna cut it.
...to the realization of the civil war. It is the working class vs. the non working class, and as our time traveling friend John Titor teaches us. He told us this war will start between 2004-2005 and we won't fully realize it until 2008. None of it will come as a suprise, it will be organized police establishments vs. rednecks with automatic shotguns. It will happen slowly in phases. People in rural areas will be marked as terrorists, and seen as a threat to the new, totalitarian government. Everything will be so gradual, we will never even notice it. Thanks to Russia, they will step in and speak for the non working class, and put an end to it. In 2036 our generator will be seen as the generation who had it all and pissed it away. We will be seen as lazy as we watched our government take away our rights, and our country. Things like this raid will become more and more common as time passes, and noone will think a thing about it. Titor said since he told us these things, we have a chance of stopping the civil war, but he thinks we won't. Three billion people will die, and the world is gonna have to start from scratch.
.. because I've taken a whiff and don't think I want to drink it. I dunno if my cup is a bad one or what. I love google, and their desktop search seemed ok in the last version, but this thing looks like one of those annoying things that come on the HP's and Compaq's that go by "Compaq organize" or whatever. Does this thing just suck resources and realestate? Or is it something someone is gonna actually use. When I read the summary, I thought of something like Apple's Dashboard, but this doesn't seem anything near it. I've been starting to get not so keen on that too, it seems to use a lot of power. Must be the Java. That aside, I don't see myself installing this google deskbar on any of my windows machines anytime soon.
It's because at school we are taught sex is bad, and thus funny, and we are taught sex and HIV are tied into eachother. Add it up, and next thing you know, year hear of HIV, and you think of a whore, and then you think of a joke. Even though there isn't anything funny about HIV.
... How many people read an article like this, run off, and lick a whore? Noone ever pays attention to the details of a story and investigate what exactly is going on. The other day there was an article in a magazine about how Classic support would be dropped in the x86 Macs, and someone was talking about how all the old programs for the mac wouldn't work, and was telling everybody about how if you buy a mac today, it will be obsolete in 2006. He didn't have a clue what he was talking about, and I couldn't correct him. I see this type of ignorance all the time. People should just start flipping coins, and then picking what they want heads or tails to stand for when it hits the ground, and just do it. So much stupidity in the air, and so little true intelligence. I'm gonna go lick a dirty whore now, and get HIV. I'll then go to my doctor and tell him to inject me with alligator sperm to make it all better. Then I'm gonna get shot in the ghetto, and goto the police department and tell them to just use forensics like on TV to catch the person. People are so blinded now days.
... our time traveling friend John Titor said there won't be Olympics after 2004 (dunno if this counts for the '06 winter olympics or not) due to too much conflict over the entire thing. It isn't until 2036 until they try and start it all back up again. I can't wait for this civil war to start, I'm gonna quit my job and head to the hills. I've learned to embrace his prophecy and understand the true meaning of life thanks to Titor.
I thought everything was supposed to be wireless nowadays. Thinking of which, are there any bluetooth speakers out there that match a mac? I would consider this mouse for my new mini, but I don't like the fact that there isn't a wireless version.
I never got it, all these commercial linux distros are the same, as are open source onces. The commercial distributions just market and sell the current open source software, which has been the same for so long. There is Windows emulation through wine/crossover, OpenOffice, Samba, and Firefox. These are just companies trying to be like VALinux and use Linux as a cash cow. I think the open source community needs to unite, and stop trying to make their own distro's, and just become one and call it "Linux" then Vendors can sell Linux in it's own form. Linux needs to become the operating system, not just the Kernel.
... this just seems like common microsoft sludge hammer ware. They take some ideas from a few places, package all the new software together, and take some ideas from third party applications, and you smash it together with a sludehammer. Nothing looks new, exciting, or even the least bit cool. It looks like Microsoft trying to play catchup (just now getting RSS and tabbed browsing), and in the process moving some things around. In most of the reviews, all I hear is speak about menus and stuff being moved around, and dialogs being layed out differntly. Why do people envy this crap?
... I'm glad I moved to mac. I liked Windows 2000, liked XP for a bit, and went back to 2k. I started looking at the mac platform when Mac OS X first came out, and switched when I bought my Mac Mini. I'm never going back, I see the future of both platforms, and I can't say I see much that I like in the Windows world. Everything looks cubersome, bloated, and ugly. Everyone I know that runs windows is always complaining about slowness, etc, and it's all from viruses/malware. I'm excited to see what this does to the Windows world, if anything. Everyone in the PC market is looking for a good deal at Walmart. I'd like to see Microsoft taken off the throne, and replaced with apple.
I agree, if we were to remove NASA from our budget, we would be killing off our only research and development that is done for human good. Military research is used for things like smart bombs that kill people, and we don't have much of anything else at this point. I think it is good that we are planning on going back to the moon, since all the plans that the subcontractors had for the moon mission were destroyed, so even though we are 30 years past the first moon landing, we are 30 years behind because the public seemed to think going to the moon was done and over with, when all we really did was go a few times, let the technology go to waste, and never really went anywhere with it. Now the technology is gone. The engineers are old and dead, the plans, blueprints, and diagrams are all toast. All we care about is fixing big problems with a little bit of money, and don't have any real motivation for innovation and invention. We don't ever look in depth at our problems, we slap a sticker on it and goto war with them. Think: drugs vs. police. Rather than preventing problems, we attack them. HP is just a marketing company, as is Ford, GM, and Chrysler. All the real engineers are overseas, with companies like Toyota, Epson, etc. We don't have anything going for us if we stay on this track of sell sell sell, market, market, market, etc, etc, etc. America isn't what it was 30 years ago. Our "engineers" can't even install Windows 2000 over XP
I'm currently working on a few projects that will be released as OSS once done. I could use the machine as a development box or as a server to host the project once everything is ready, it could also help in terms of running virtual machines so I can test the software on different operating systems without having to reformat/switch machines. If you are interested, I can pay the shipping. Just reply to this message or email me:

You know, before everything go so easy to use, and all open to the whole public, none of this was even a political issues. Used to be everyone used IRC and DCC for filesharing, and everyone was too stupid to use it, so it wasn't an issue. First napster, then kazaa, now bittorrent have made it easy so now all of this is mainstream. If it would have stayed low profile like it was about 8 years ago, noone would even care.
Hell yeah, I work for geek squad, and get paid 10 dollars an hour to make corparate millions, and make the managers there thousands, I hate it. I'm starting my own local computer repair place and quitting. All this agent and precinct talk is making me sick. Computer and networking support should be left to the strong mom and pop shops.
Yeah, but the worst part is that Sony will figure out that once the dick is gone, all it takes is one wipe the wrong way, and were all fucked with a serious infection.
Once you have access to the beta site, download the beta version of the.NET Framework 2.0 (a 24mb download), and the MSH Preview version (4.1 mb) from the downloads page. Once downloaded, run Dotnetfx.exe to install the.NET Framework, then run Windows command shell preview.exe to install MSH.
all that for a stinking command line interface? A good open source distro can fit the entire operating system and more into that!
50% of all homicides are committed by African-Americans, but 50% of the population is not African American.
Just like in Kentucky. About 80% of all inmates are African-American, but only about 20% of the population is African American.
When the population percentage doesn't match up with a statistic, that's what causes questions.
In our area 90% of all teachers are women, but 45% of the population is made up of men.
The City Fire Department has to keep its staff matched up with the community as far as race and sex goes. So if 20% of the population in the town is African American, then 20% of the firefighters need to be African American. If 50% of the population is made up of women, than 50% of the firefighters need to be woman. However, there isn't many African American or women that can pass the firefighters physical test, so they ease up the test for these people and toughen it up for white males.
Go figure. Weird world we live in. It's easy to make generalizations because of these figures.
It's a fact, the lower the income of the area, the more African Americans you see. When you get into the mid town suburbs, almost everyone is white, you go into the country, and almost everyone is a redneck.

For those who don't know about John Titor
P.S. Anyone know where I can find that video of him traveling time in his car when he goes BACK TO THE FUTURE?
I would try and get same karma from making a joke about this, but the +5 Funny modifier doesn't even give you any points. I really think this is
They look like something from doom 3 or any other futuristic game. I'll take a hundred.

Just to show how it is all the same stuff with a sticker placed over it, check this out:
I mean look at this
Been the same since '95

I never really got it, why does the IE UA have Mozilla_4.0 in it?

Seriously, why does crap like this always get modded funny? I guess I must be new here.
Two words: Nextel. Done.
