BTW, can I have your e-mail address. Some people I know would be very glad to recommend you some excellent products and services...
Ah. But that would be spam, now wouldn't it? Unsolicited advertising, from people who have offered me no service, and therefore have no excuse to be pushing adverts at me.
Not solicited advertising, from people who have offered me a service that I've asked for, and therefore have a perfectly good excuse to be pushing adverts at me.
Altavista is now a pretty good search engine. Sponsored links may be annoying, but they are clearly marked and can be removed by a simple Proxomitron filter (remove all pairs that include "*Sponsored*").
You do realise that you're a complete piece of shit, don't you? Pretty much the least annoying advert possible, the most unobtrusive, no popup, just a text sponsored link that keeps the search engine free. And yet morons like you just HAVE to block it becuase it goes against your 'everything should be free for me' attitude. You suck.
It's weird, isn't it? I think there are 2 kinds of 'big asses' though. One is caused by the natural female shape, and is just the result of a rather well-developed shape, but the ass is still lean - this I find very sexy. The other, though, is the result of fat accumulation in this area, and is far less sexy (take a look at some big Jamaican women sometime) - this is what I think they're trying to guard against.
I mean there has to be a reason why I find myself more often craving a good Doom map over anything in Quake (sure, Quake sucked...)
You've GOT to be having a laugh. Quake kicked Doom's butt from here to kingdom come, and back! Quake was one of the most fun games I ever played. Not that Doom is bad, and that Quake isn't a variant, but its engine was far superior.
ersonally, that gets boring for me after awhile. Additionally, "bells and whistles" like better graphics and sound do make for better gameplay, IMHO, because it helps the player to suspend his or her disbelief.
Yeah.. when I play DOA2 as Kasumi, I can play for hours, just suspending my disbelief of those bouncing....
Yeah, but they stopped making hard drives:-((( IBM made the best hard drives ever... 2 of those quiet babies in my machine right now, and haven't ever gien me problems. I just don't know what I'm gonna do when I need a bigger one, all the other manufacturers are shit! *sob*
This argument has gone around the track so many times I can't believe anyone doesn't realise the easy rebuttal to your comments by now: congressmen DON'T CARE what you have to say, or write. You get a realistic choice (in America) of precisely TWO candidates at the election, both of whom don't CARE what you have to say. That's a fact. They care what people with money have to say. If you're not someone with money, they DON'T CARE. Stop suggesting that democratic action is a legitimate form of dealing with corruption in the extreme.
And don't give me the BS that people have a choice of other candidates at the election, either. That's a technicality, and it's totally irrelevant if you can't get a rather large chunk of the population to vote for them with you.
P2P apps have non-infringing use, and thus are legal
I don't quite understand that, it's a non-sequitur. Most narcotics have what police would call 'non-infringing' use (eg. killing pain, treating disease) yet that doesn't make them legal.
Or, tight-fisted bastards that 1) Don't want to buy an overpriced album to get the 1 or 2 tracks on it that they actually like. 2) Want to actually own the media that they pay for, instead of a 'licence to use it', and have the right to copy it for personal use to any other media they wish, if they're going to damn well pay for it.
Until they decide to instate fair use (did it ever exist?), and let me purchase individual tracks with those rights attached, I'll remain in complete contempt of these companies' claims to my money.
Revealed! The algorithm for the online RIAA check form:
output = ""; username = ENV("uname"); if username { output = "You are wanted by the RIAA. Please report to your local police station and turn yourself in."; } print "<HTML>"; print output; print "</HTML>";
The extension is still there and as long as the extension is hidden, you can name the file or whatever as much as you want and not realize extensions exist.
Which I find frustrating as hell.:-) What ya gonna do when you come across an extension that isn't associated with a handler/icon? What ya gonna do when one program sets the same icon for several filetypes? Give me my extensions!!!!!
I just love the way that one say, Slashdotters are saying that 'everyone should be buying Indie music, and not supporting the RIAA' and the next they are saying that 'eMusic has nothing that I want, no big names'. Why are big names big names? Because the RIAA promote them. So who do you support? Make your mind up.
Spend your life savings proving that you damn well are legal. Then, counter-sue the RIAA for damages, including all legal costs, and physical (going to court a lot) and mental (horrid lawsuits) stress, which could, depending on the severity of the case, be in the millions. When you win, stick your middle finger up at the RIAA lawyers as you exit the courtroom, laugh all the way to the bank, and retire nice 'n early.

Yes, I do draw a big distinction.

Don't you mean
Unlike with our friends at the RIAA, they won't be able to buy legislation to prop up their failing business model.
Who's to say...?
the connection necessary for the simple solution of "stop making movies that sucks and relies on special effects and big names"
And with actresses like Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie, they're not the only big things they're relying on...
Makes ya wonder why they didn't write the worm to attack microsoft.com doesn't it?
... from windowsupdate.microsoft.com ?
It's ok, microsoft.com can take it.
Can they? This is possibly 50% of machines *in the world*, at worst anyway.
But people can just update...
But we can just drop the domain...
What, change the company name because of a DoS attack?
Tricky one, isn't it? Looks like MS got let off.

Wow. That has to be the longest, most obfuscated URL I've ever seen for the redirected-to main page of a popular domain.
It's not just their ATMs that put you off. If you live in Britain, you should see their TV ads...
There's a reason it's the right wing. Bush 2004 [georgewbush.com]
Because its supporters like to take your rights?
As far as sedating one, think about the challenge - these appear to be social, agressive, and very large animals
Wow. That's a real challenge.
Hide in the bushes, take 100 darts, and pick em all off. Wait till they're all asleep then take the blood sample.

The problem I see with this system is that M$ could release windows 95 in a "nostalga" pack at some point
More like a "nausea" pack.

So basically, anything of worth is cheaper in Canada? :-P
Isnt Gartner the same guys that said windows was so full of hole it shouldnt be used?
No, they said that Windows had a hole so full that it shouldn't be used.
