then why can i tell the difference in counter strike when it drops from 60 to 30....its choppy when you strafe / walk / move the mouse....maybe your eyes can only see 30, but the majority of us need 60. Also havin 30 FPS don't mean that all 30 are bein shot to the monitor runin at > 60Hz
Too bad that will never happen because mac is a hard ware company. Also they wouldn't want to deal with support for non apple hardware. The whole reason things work on a mac is because almost everything about them is mac.
To get people to switch to mac they need to stop selling overpriced computers that always come with a new display. It'd be nice if you could buy a new PC w/o havin to get a new weird lookin monitor w/ it.
I lived with a deaf room-mate last year. It took me about 2 months for me to understand what he was saying, and took him about the same to get used to my lips. Anytime he meets someone new, its very hard for him to read their lips (i.e. every time a new telemarketer tries to prey on the deaf user). Also, its not just the lips, its the tounge also. It'd probably be easier to use speach-> text software than this stuff....and what about background noise? I doubt this thing works well if not at all.
If a person has 40 gigz of audio or video in one format they will not lose quality to convert it over to another format. Unless there is a plugin for winamp or xmms that will support Real Audio/Video, this attempt to get people to switch formats will have failed.This is why I beleive mp3 will never go away...LAME and OGG are both supported by xmms and winamp. It all comes down to wether there will exist a quality ALL in one player
Columbia house will offer you a dead:) All kidding aside though, it really isn't a suprise at all. Have you ever seen a CD cheaper than the same thing on a tape? It costs them under a penny to produce a CD in under a second while it costs bundles to mass produce tapes. If tapes and cds were the same price, i wouldn't say anything. If tapes were 50 cents more than a cd, i wouldn't say anything, but when you charge more for something that costs less to produce just because of its superior quality some will say its 'whatever the market will bear', while others call it price fixing. P2P is awesome, nothing will be done to stop it. What is File and Print Sharring or running an FTP server if not P2P? P2P will hopefully take enough money away from the record industry that we will be able to go from a: choosing an $18 CD from the 200 or so artists that have been played on the radio/mtv in the past year to b: choosing a $5 CD from 5,000 artists who make equally good music but don't lip sync too well N'Suck or have a face good enough to paste on top of porn star bodies and post all over the internet Britney or can play awesome live shows but don't have hollywood making million dollar videos for their lame music Lincoln Park.
Hopefully we will get more variety and less MTV / Hollywood bullshit in our music.
I'm just waiting for a similar lawsuit to follow for Hollywood charging ridiculous prices for DVDs just because they contain footage that wasn't good enough to make it in the actual film....Tell ya what, how about I pay $20 for the DVD without any extra crap, and if i feel the urge to hear it in Pakastani or want to watch some deleted scenes, i'll come back and buy the other half for another 10 bux.
I'm just rambling, its late...But as far as the music industry goes,its right up there in the list of things that have power which shouldn't...Microsft/MTV/AOL/Bush
goodnight bedtime

hmm, The computer that I was using there last year was configured for broadband with all realivent tweaks from speedguide.net some of which may have messed with the MTU, but maybe in the other direction I remember I couldn't even ping the router, so i don't know how AOL got through but tiny pings wouldn't. That network was pretty messed up to begin with. Also it was kinda funny when I did a little test, how less than 15 seconds after I share a folder without a password I got a.eml file with nimda in each sub-dir of the folder. I'm not saying setting my MTU lower wouldn't do anything, but I know the kids using AOL could load web pages and I couldn't even ping the router Ok, maybe all i've established is that AOL's default browser is better configured than M$'s.
Yah, i got the old one and i'm still using it. I'm excited because I'm gonna start using linux again and instead of buying one of those switch boxes to switch between machines using the same Monitor, Keyboard, and mouse I think i'll use VNC. I've used the older one on windows before but never understood how to get it working on linux. I actually keep it running on XP allong with an FTP server and a Web server so no matter where I go I can access my files, and read mail even from Outlook Express. Besided this and TightVNC are there any other browser-based, cross-platform (well i guess if its browser based it is cross platform) things similar to these?
Just don't go after my IRC...the network that has been provideing me with bootleg movies, mp3s, and warez long before napster

Extra baggage?
Call it what you will. A year ago the apartment complex I lived in provided free ethernet. Problem was that nobody could use it because everything was getting jammed in each building before it even went out to the main dish. They were useing hubs without switches. Anyway, nobody could do anything at all except for the AOL users because their packets are smaller and more effecient than http packets.
Don't get me wrong, i hate aol with a passion, and have come to the conclusion that anyone who pays $10 more a month to be able to type in a a keyword (like imadumbaoluser instead of www.imadumbaoluser.com) is a moron. But still there was that point in my life where I would have to put clothes on, get in my car, drive to campus, and use their computers to download notes, and assignments, and upload homework,that I saw a positive thing about AOL.
sorry, i was talking about the link in the grey box, not the link in the message. Yes i've seen Clerks, and yes i think its amazing that someone found the connection between the movie and this story. But No, i don't think its appropriate to have a link on here with something thats considered malacious because it removes your ability to click on the volume control while it screams 'i'm lookin at gay porno' and because unless you have a one year old system or newer your's will probably crash because of the 57 windows i had to close (luckily i'm on XP and can close them all as a group) Before you say that i'm wasting everyone's time why don't you see what i'm talkin about before you jump to conclusions. Anonymous jackass Coward...you're one load your mother should have swallowed. 'nuff said
Its kinda funny how one thing takes all that time using all those computers to crack, but 5 days after a new program comes out http://astalavista.box.sk has a crack or a keygenerator for it.
I'm new to linux.
I used Red Hat for a week and some of my mounts would become unmounted after a reboot. Also, the text in any web browser i used was ugly and unreadable.
I used Mandrake after that, and WOW, all my partitions and cd-drives were mounted for me automatically from the start. But had the same problem with the web browser.
Then I formated my windows (my OS only partition) partition and i lost the partition that i kept everything else on. So in fixing that problem with norton utilities, i lost my linux partitions and haven't run it since.
My question...Besides the installation and initialization, what does one distro have over the other? Also, are there programs out there that will only run on KDE and not Gnome, or programs that will run only on Red Hat and not Mandrake?
Makes sence, i figured that too.
One should have an uncommon name not found in the dictionary such as mine...FunkyELF, or they should have numbers before or after their address. 123funkyelf321@ilovetoreadspam.com
Either way its still their half their fault for using djohnson or msmith @hotmail.com If you owned one of these and you started getting spammed, and changed it to johnsond or smithm, then we have an idiot on our hands. Common sence is the key here
You definatly have a point. One thing I have noticed over the years is that you don't get spam on a particular e-mail account unless you do one of the following
***Use that account to create an account on a website. (you will get crap from them even if you uncheck all the boxes)
***Use that account to e-mail someone who likes to hit that one button in whatever e-mail program they use to e-mail everyone on their address book. (this button by the way should be renamed 'help everyone in my address book receive spam')
I blame hotmail, and i blame every other web-based e-mail program, as well as windows based programs that have the default action as sending it with everyone's address in the TO, instead of BCC
I learned this really quick, and i have had no problems with my current email addresses.
I have a School assigned one that I give nobody
I have an ISP one that I only give to people who aren't morons.
I have a hotmail one that I give to the people who are morons (don't know of the existance of BCC)
and I have a hotmail one for creating accounts.
Guess which ones get the most Spam
Ok, first off, i know nothing about encryption. But could someone explain to me how (pertaining to computers) this would become usefull? Doesn't each end need the key, or function to be able to communicate? How would me sending my credit card number over the internet be translated into refracting light with lasers on my end of the communication since i don't have a laser?...and even if i did, wouldn't I need the same peice of glass that they're sending light through at my end?
