  1. Re:The Difference on Outsourcing To Rural America · · Score: 0
    Some of us in the rural midwest speak perfectly good english.

    You can't always say that about the urban northeast ;-)

    Nope. Just a lot more sublte.

  2. Re:Doesnt make sense on AOL Dumping Some Broadband · · Score: 0
    The company's success was created by a mass mailing of floppy disks.

    I have never seen them do anything smart. ever.

    1. Gave up on Gnutella
    2.) Gave up on Netscape
    3.) Gave up on Winamp
    4.) Became commodity in Instant Messaging.

    The name AOL is starting to sound like liability.

    Hopefully it disappears when company breaks into several units.

    Backing up and wanting to preserve your data and photos seems obvious. We can all become archivists and have "mountains" of data for digital archeologists to sift through in 1000 years.

    Will this data be useful?

    Are our lives better spent worrying about archiving our data when we are about to die or is there a natural selection in society that chooses what information gets to be propogated?

    Seems like a real battle to preserve everything when we live on a organic ever changing planet.

    Maybe we should keep what we can and hope our grandkids will be find the interesting stuff and preserve is also.

    Archiving our data seems more of a life lesson about letting go. We last a short while as do our footprints on this earth.

    btw: I do try to preserve all my data.

    I also agree.

    It's hard to grow up and realize that your country has been built from day one on so much bloodshed and lies diguised as patriotism or in the name of god the all mighty.

    It's a vicious competitive world.

    Get used to it.

    But seriously, IMO, usually the thing that happens when people individualize their PC make it uglier or more contrived. Same goes for cars too, most of the time.

    You may be right but I mounted a silver skull on my computer anyway and now I like it more.

    Just that easy. Plus the skull is really dense and acts as heat sink.

    My sytem runs much faster now.

    Also I found the same benefit when I put a cool sticker on the front of the case. It seems to attract cold and push heat away.

    I get like 5FPS more in FRAPS now in Doom3.

    You can thank John Edwards and his buddies in the Trial Lawyers' Association for those costs.

    Have you seen the cases that were prosecuted?

    You should take a look before making a blanket statement.

    You could also blame the insurance companies for acting like a probability casino and always making sure they profit year over year.

    It's really sad how 100% privatization of everything can cause such ripples in our lives.

    Greedy people protecting other greedy people is the wrong solution.

    I buy ATI because I like the company and because I didn't like how NVidia basically killed of 3DFX. Does that mean I sometimes get video cards that aren't as fast as I could be getting? Most likely. Does that .04% of FPS loss bother me? Not at all.

    Running your graphics card on multiple operating systems may interest you.

    Going with a card company that supports AMD, OpenGL, Linux etc may be more beneficial to us all.

    I always though nvidia bought 3DFXs technology and some of it shows today.

    3DFX was great for us at the time but when the TNT came out they were just getting beat.

    I liked my Amiga but it's over now.

    Well... whatever. Obviously the rock and roll craze is risky just like the dotcom craze.

    You wanna be the next big thing in either case you take a risk. Someone gives you $500k for anything means you haven't made it yet and they are taking a risk on you. Otherwise you wouldn't need the money.
