The two phrases:
"Global music sales fell 7.6 percent in 2003 to $32 billion" and "However, a strong second-half recovery in the United States, Britain and Australia, boosted by top-selling acts such as Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and rapper 50 Cent, has raised hopes that the worst is behind the beleaguered industry." go together? 32 billion dollars is a lot of money. I don't feel sorry for them. What they only made 65% profit intead of 85%? Time to get out the big guns!
I had a friend who would piss all over the info they sent and then send it back in their own envelopes with a note explaining why the papers were off colored. I also think people should dump in baby powder and let them think whatever.
It sure as hell is. Try taking something back to walmart vs. kamrt, target, or shopko. These are all big stores in my state. Walmart by far offers the best service and employees. I've taken stuff back at 2am w/no reciept in horrible condition and gotten an exchange for a new item. I had a bit of a bad experience with a vacuum but they still beat out the competition. Walmart is the only place I get treated like a customer and not a potential felon.
So what is this going to be replacing DirectX? I like direct x. I see it as making nothing but half assed attempts at covering multiple systems. When instead they could make a superior product by focusing on one system.
And all it manages to accomplish is people getting their accounts hacked. A hacker gets into a persons passport and voila they have access to eBay and start committing fraud in that persons name.
My broadband comes at a price. A lot of people can't afford it and are still stuck on dialup. While not a toy of the rich, not everyone can afford broadband here quite yet.
I agree what kept them from practicing in every concveivable situation? Not enought time? Seems like they had plenty of time to prep for this contest and drive about in the mojave and test for obstacles.
That is so true. Most of it is based from Romania and the previous USSR/Russia. Alot of banking information runs around online and while these little worms get the headlines most of the time it's for identity theft. I work for a major online auction house and we see alot of people loosing lots of money due to viruses and worms that their av software doesn't catch.
Yes but you're assuming the exec knows how to turn it on. Most of them probably just know enough to send and read email. I've known a few that barely even managed to do that on a regular basis.
I've wondered about this. I just don't know which side is heavier but you would think that would affect the outcome. I've heard the same thing of dice. The sides with more numbers, ie 4,5, 6 etc. have a slightly higher chance of rolling because there is more die on them and it changes the outcome a wee bit. Leave it to a bunch of D & D nerds to wonder about this kind of stuff.
Downtown SLC is the same way. They even have LED displays that count down the time until the light changes. It goes from yellow to red when it starts getting close to 0. It also makes a very audible beeping noise as well. If it's made it safer to walk downtown or not I have no clue.
This happens all the time and it pisses me off. Just let your work stand for itself. Not everyone is going to like it and that's ok. And if it truly is a piece of shit well people deserve to know about it before they buy it. And this doesn't just happen on Amazon. I've been looking into hotels and resteraunts in Europe and have been reading the major travel sites user reviews and after a while you can tell when it's a plant. IMO it really undermines the ratings system and sometimes things get rated highly when they're nothing but crap.
to make copies of money on an HP copier. I did a 20, 5, and 1 dollar bill. It was black and white, they were a bit too big, and the quality was less then stellar, but I'm sure with some tweaking I could have created a fairly decent looking bill. Now I just need to get my lighter and burn them in case someone really thinks I was going to try and spend a black and white one sided 20 dollar bill.
There was a show on the histroy channel about this. There is a lot of digital money currecny going on. But for some reason people like cold hard cash. There's nothing like having bills/coins in your wallet.
I live in Utah and we have a little weekly paper calld the Salt Lake City Weekly. This week they had an article on the whole SCO debacle. It can be read here. Not a whole lot on the UL effort but an intereting read into the shennagings going on here. I just was reading it on lunch at work and came back to this.
If it were just standard ore like Iron, copper, etc I would say not. But if we found some exciting new minerals out there or some kinds that are extremely rare and valuable on earth I bet companies would be chomping at the bit to get out there.
I wouldn't take stock in this. How old is George Lucas now, 55 60? It takes him roughly 8-10 years a trilogy. He'ld be in a wheelchair by the time he finished the next ones if he even lived that long. I would think he wants to move on and do other things. And who would play all the original roles. All the main actors have not aged well and it would be very shitty to not have Mark Hammil reprise his role as Luke Skywalker or Harrison Ford play Han Solo.
Doesn't anyone remember this game for SNES? ( maybe NES not sure ). The whole game was built around a character for a pizza company. Or what about the 7 up dots game. I mean it doesn't get any worse then that.

Daffy Duck told me Marvin the Martian was there and was going to destroy the earth! Don't tell me television has been lying to me all these years.

If I had mod points you sir would get them! Mod this fellow up!

Good question I'm not sure. I live in Kearns and the buttons seem to have an affect here. But I'm pretty sure the downtown ones are 100% automatic.

3/4 of the jobs in my local market are all .net now. Most of the others are a mix of Java, C++, and scripting languages.

Come on! How else are we going to keep all those anti-virus software companies in business? They have families and hookers to pay for!

No I think it's srich10195@aol.com . If not take care on the poor bastard with the same name.

Mine was rejected too and I submitted it a day and a half ago. Old news I'm afraid.
