I love all the comments from everyone saying "wait till the MPAA see this" or "it'll be funny when the MPAA do them for piracy".
fucking plebs.
House of Flying Daggers is a "Sony Pictures" movie. MPAA can't do shit to Sony for copying their own movie. They are the copyright holders. They can do whatever they want with it.
From now on buy nothing but ASUS P4S800 motherboards. We've bought 6 machines with that board, all of them have identical MAC addresses on the inbuilt ethernet port!!!
Wolf ET does multimon?? *SWEET*
we're moving offices at work this weekend, and I am getting a new PC. I've managed to convince the boss that I am more productive when using the 2 monitor setup that I have here at home, and am considering adding a third monitor into the equation for shits and giggles.
At the new office the IT guys have set up a game server that is running wolfET for use in those after work de-stressing times... I cant wait
All the ACCC is concerned with is trying to find out from the SCO bigwigs if they can get away with ignoring the linux groups here that are complaining about what SCO is trying to do.
ACCC couldnt enforce mandatory breathing on anyone, let alone get this right.
While I know I'm rising to a troll, its early Monday morning and I would rather not be at work so I'll bite for something to do.
What about Joe Consumer who buys a new PC with one of these "you-dont-need-more-then-this" 2Gig drives in it.
Being a new comp it will come with an OEM install of winXP so as well as the usual XP bloat it will have the added OEM bloat as well. That should come up to between 1 and 1.2Gig.
Joe Consumers son Johny gets Diablo2 for his birthday/christmas/some-other-gift-giving-event but poor little Johny cant play it as it requires 1.5Gig for a full install. If you want to be able to play both single player and multiplayer.
Don't even think about any other software on the computer. Joe Consumers workplace will go out of business at the cost of having to pay your stupid $1000 tax as without larger drives they don't have the room to have windows and their required office software installed on the machine.
Your theory effectively puts the entire computer software and computer industries "up shit creek" as no-one in their right mind would pay $1000 to be able to install software. It also puts potentially thousands of small-medium businesses who are already struggling with MS stupic licence requirements out of business.
Ultimately if you travel it through to the likely conclusion you will put the entire US through abouther depression as millions are loosing their jobs due to their workplaces going out of business. Con-fucking-gratulations.
Dno't know much about the in-car TV's but a boss at an old job bought a BMW that had one in the dash. The moment the car was in motion the screen would blank and you would be left with just the audio.
Linking to someone's website and not wanting to receive spam or telemarketing are different and therefore no hypocrisy is involved
It would only be hypocrisy if they had their own sites and did not want people to link to them but still wanted to link to anyone they liked
-OR-
The didnt want to receive spam and telemarketing but wanted to be free to indulge in it themselves spamming and making telemarketing calls to anyone they liked.
is found in Word.
open a new blank document and type in
=rand(20,200)
and this will be replaced with 20 lines of text, each line containing 200 repeats of the phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
Obviously this feature is a necessary part of the overall word experience.
I'm using word2000, but I have also seen this in word97. I haven't tested it in XP tho
