One problem left: spawning a tabbed window takes WAAAAAY longer than in Opera 7. Since tab loading speed is related to initial startup speed, it's obvious that mozilla needs to trim down quite a bit still. I'm not holding my breath.
Trinitrons are not that great. As a gratuitous example, consider those two horizontal lines that run across the screen at roughly each third of the screen. Annoying. There are CRT flat-screen displays out there for far less money - why would you want a Trinitron? OTOH you'd be better off going LCD in any case. No radiation, more usable desk space, sharper picture (at the expense of refresh rate and scrolling picture clarity) and easier on the eyes - LCD is the shit amigo.
First off: I have friends who have undergon abortions, and the resultant emotional mess alone tells me that there's something seriously wrong with extracting a partially-formed baby, no matter which method is used. Personally, I think it's disgusting, but I also think that gallbladder surgery is kinda gross too, you know? I'm not prolife or prochoice. There are times when either can be appropriate. However - I was relating what happened to my buddy's g/f (and also to another chick I worked with). Dude's g/f is a basket case still, and the operation was almost four years ago. Internal parts were gouged by the sharp end of the curette, much like it is described over here and here. They call it "uterine perforation," which (to me) is a nice way of saying "we gouged a hole in your uterus. whoops! better luck next time." Your immediate ad hominem response,
one should try to get at least *some* of his facts from somewhere other than pro-life websites or the big book of urban legends
is a fairly slackwitted conclusion, since all information related in my prior post was from people who have undergone the procedure directly.
This description of the procedure presupposes a long wait before the decision to terminate the pregnancy in question is undertaken.
Your information here is erroneous, as a quick trip to the google can show.. According to two decent sources, "Dilation and curettage (D&C) is usually done if another abortion method has failed to completely remove the contents of the uterus. D&C is done to be sure that no tissue is left in the uterus. "
...the poster works hard to describe a procedure that would note [sic] be necessary to abort the fetus after tens of weeks have gone by...
Again, this ignores the possibility of an undersized foetus or ectopic pregnancy, or a botched first attempt; additionally, according to Yale Newhaven Health, dilation+curettage+evacuation certainly is the standard for abortions in the second 12 weeks.. This negates your assumption that
"there is no reason to assume that abortion involving skull-collapsing sharp things that no one knows the name of is the only option or in any way the norm"
In fact, 'tis quite the contrary, my dear. See the Newhaven link above for details.
In case you're wondering, I grabbed my links from the first google for abortion+dilation+vacuum and you can do the same.. I don't discriminate against correct and factual information, even if it does come from a highly biased source. Next time, do some research before trying to enlighten people. Thanks.
India?? Hell no. Try O&K instead if you want some serious machinery. If O&K can't handle it, then perhaps the makersof thislittle beastie can. Big Muskie was a 27-million-pound, 220-foot tall hydraulic walking dragline machine.
Hormonal cycles are radically disrupted by an aborted pregnancy. Ever been around post-abortive women? You know what I'm talking about. There's almost always a fair amount of internal damage when tools are used, depending on the method of operation. The vacuum device (sorry.. don't know the name) that collapses the skull has a sharp edged attachment and it's difficult to maneuver. That's a pretty confined space to work in, after all.
Kinda related... I read a book recently which contained some rather compelling evidence for the theory that bras (the kind with wires - not sports bras) contribute to breast cancer.. seems the wires restrict the flow of lymph and the toxins build up. Free radicals accumulate to ridiculous levels in women who wear their bras overnight. I actually know this chick who wears one to bed all the time. Try googling for "breast cancer"+lymph+bras or something... ?
I doubt anybody here cares, but if you really want to prevent breast cancer, have a kid early. Breast cancer rates are less than half of 'normal' if you successfully bear a child before the age of 26. This does not apply to men as far as I know. OK. Have a nice night.
I think the translation was buggy, and headline should have read,
"China Forges Ahead With
DragonBall CPU."
Same performance characteristics, basically, but power requirements are different... overclock a bootlegged lot of out-of-spec chips from Motorola, measure clock speed with a Chinese frequency counter, and you have a homemade counter to the Intel invasion;)
uhh no, actually, it was a couple of faggot goth kids with their daddys' guns who were responsible for violent acts like the Columbine shootings. Obviously. You dumb fuckwad. Nice troll though.
You have been trolled by TiggerStripe!! I'll shit you out, kid.
It's not a coincidence that the screencaptures are all exactly the same resolution as my Casio E125 Pocket PC. Carmack and the boys were way ahead of the curve waaaay back then, coding for my PDA.
Good job!

I am objecting to the CPCC proposal for further taxation on computer back-up media and other recordable Compact Discs, as I believe that the proposed levy will further impose unfair penalties upon the honest people that use Compact Discs. I hope and pray that you people, who are in the position to do great harm by ratifying the CPCC proposal, will also object to it.
It is evident that monies collected via the proposed tariff will be paid to representatives of the music industry, even though I personally use the Compact Disc media itself solely in a legal fashion, as I am entitled by copyright law.
I find it distressing that this proposal advocates another tax in excess of those already levied, merely to support continued legal use of the Compact Disc media that I use. I contend that if I am to give money to the record industry, then it is only right that I should receive fair value in exchange - and more importantly, that any such transaction should be willful and deliberate, not in the form of extortion that the proposal recommends.
I thank you for your time and consideration; please summarily reject the CPCC proposal so that my rights, and those of my fellow Canadians, may not be unjustly abrogated.
Just made a couple minor mods to parent post.. basically the same thing. Props to Screaming Lunatic of course:D
Dear Sirs and Madam,
I am overwhelmingly displeased with the Private Copying Tariff that I am forced to pay every time that I purchase recordable CD media. I am enraged that the Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) and the Copyright Board are proposing to increase this tariff.
First and foremost, the CPCC is responsible for collection, distribution and enforcement of this tariff. However, the CPCC is not an arm of the government and therefore is not accountable to voters and taxpayers.
Secondly, they have collected $28 million over the last few years. However, they have not distributed any of the collected monies to the people supposedly deserving of those monies. Furthermore, 75% of the collected levy is earmarked for publishers. These publishers are not necessarily Canadian businesses and indeed, most are large American record labels. Local artists and record companies are forced to fight over the smaller piece of the ill-gotten pie. This should be a great concern for the Honourable Heritage Minister.
The levy applies to all recordable media, despite my intentions for that media. As an example, whenever I archive pictures of my family, record labels benefit. Whenever I back up my personal data, record labels benefit. This should also be of great concern to the Honourable Minister of Industry, since the bottom line of businesses that rely on consumers purchasing recordable media is ultimately adversely affected by this unfair tariff imposed at the behest of record labels.
What is most disturbing is that I am treated as a thief every time that I purchase recordable media. I am given no opportunity to present my case, nor am I accorded the dignity and respect that I deserve as a law-abiding Canadian citizen. I find it particularly galling that the American recording industry is primarily responsible for this insult.
Currently, I am able to purchase a CD-R for about $0.39 retail. Of that $0.39, $0.21 of the cost is the levy. The new proposed levy is $0.59. That is absolutely ridiculous. About 75% of the cost of the CD will be the levy.
I urge all Members of Parliament to consider the effects this levy will have on Canadians and Canadian business. This levy benefits large record labels and is detrimental to all Canadians.
I totally disagree. OpenOffice is horrendously slow compared to Office 97/2K/XP on all my hardware from the trusty P-120 with 48MB up to P4-1.6 w/512MB. Hell, it's not even in the same class. KOffice is closer to MS Office performance, but lacks those precious 'features.'
Of course, what do I care? UltraEdit + a web browser does everything I need.
the only problem here comes when Phoenix (the BIOS dudes) start to cram spyware into their product, something that was to be called "PhoenixNet." Same thing as this other browser, basically, but with a few extra (and thankfully stillborn) goodies. check it out.
I clipped a bit from here if you're interested... and BTW i think Phoenix (BIOS) doesn't do this kind of sleazy shit anymore. I think.
Q. Why should I install PhoenixNet solutions for my end-users?
A. Installing PhoenixNet solutions will provide tools and software applications to help your end-users get the most out of their computer. It provides them with a personalized web-browsing experience, essential business applications and special offers from leading online services. In addition, the home and search settings will be customized for consistency with the system settings for country and language, a particular benefit to users located outside of North America.
Q. What are the benefits of becoming a PhoenixNet Partner?
A. PhoenixNet Partners with a Partner ID can participate in upcoming incentive and co-marketing programs and can receive e-mail bulletins on the latest end-user tools as they are added.
Q. What is the difference between installing a PhoenixNet-enabled motherboard and a non-PhoenixNet-enabled motherboard?
A. If your computer is built with a PhoenixNet-enabled motherboard, a portion of the PhoenixNet software resides safely within the BIOS ROM (Read Only Memory). PhoenixNet solutions launch automatically at the initial start-up of your new PC and it sets the home page and search page default based on system settings detected on the computer. If you don't have a PhoenixNet-enabled motherboard, PhoenixNet software is available on the CD-ROM containing the motherboard drivers. If you decide to pre-install PhoenixNet software for your end-user, the home page and search page will be automatically set up the first time the end-user connects to the Internet.
Q. How do I put my company logo and branding information on the Graphic Launch Screen?
A. First you need to ensure that your PCs have a PhoenixNet-enabled motherboard. Second, you need to have a PhoenixNet Partner ID. Lastly, you need to obtain a software utility from PhoenixNet which will enable you to add your logo and company information to the Graphic Launch Screen. [...]
Q. What options do I have for pre-installing PhoenixNet solutions?
A. You have several options to select from during the PhoenixNet solutions installation:
You can change the default settings of the home and search page
You can select which software tools and applications you want to pre-install on the computer. (Note: the end-user always has the option to add items if they register with PhoenixNet and/or they elect to install additional PhoenixNet solutions [that translates to "give me more shitty spyware please" in BIOS-maker-speak -ed.] from the Motherboard Drivers CD-ROM.)
PhoenixNet(TM) invites you to join our other partners in our global valued-added distribution network. Contact us by e-mail, fax or phone, and please tell us about your business, to find out how PhoenixNet can expand your marketing efforts and the value of your systems [...].
According to a document from the Phoenix website:
B. BIOS Security Services Because external clients must access security information or functionality only the BIOS can provide, PhoenixBIOS provides BIOS Security Services for both internal clients (such as Setup nodes) and external clients not linked with the BIOS. This new technology uses two tables, one that defines security states and the other that defines the permissions under which access to a device is allowed. It is also possible to govern individual Setup items with separate security provisions. The BIOS Security Services provide a mechanism for external clients to extract information from the BIOS or instruct the BIOS to perform a specific function.
From a motherboard manual: 4.1.2 PhoenixNet Online Services When the PhoenixNet ILS detects an Internet connection, it makes contact with the PhoenixNet server and delivers user-selectable services from PhoenixNet's Internet Partners. These services are delivered to the user as hotlinks on the desktop and in the web browser or, as applications that PhoenixNet automatically packages, downloads and installs.
I think that the argument in any sane country would be that nobody is actually infringing copyrights by downloading source code of these "open source" decoders. The Netherlands recognized this rather obvious argument as valid and ruled accordingly against Buma Stemra (copyright dinosaurs in Holland, analogous to the American RIAA/MPAA cartels) but I suspect that Canada will fall to a similar DMCA-inspired mess. Hollywood bought the DMCA for a reason, and it is not to bing freedom to the oppressed:) "Open Source" to those people means nothing and sometimes attaches the stigma of open-mindedness. You don't play by the same greedy rules as the conglomerates? You must be looking to undermine them instead.
Yeah, I'd say you have a fair hurdle to jump. Advocates like this guy don't exactly help either (at least not when my Grandma is watching!);)
No-one (except perhaps the youngest of children) could find the bumbling antics of Thompson and Thomson actually funny when played by actors in a real live setting.
Haven't you ever seen Laurel and Hardy??!! I can't be the only mid-twenty guy in the world who still appreciates vintage film.
I believe this might be of some help, since the request was phrased Does anyone has [sic] a small desktop solution (like KDE or Gnome) to recommend. ? Of course you'll trade blinding speed for a lack of programs. It's totally different from Linux and it's not for everybody (yet!!) but it all fits on one floppy with a meg or so to spare so check it out.
I'll try to hit a couple of specific points from the experience of the only (attempted, I should say..) Apple switcher. I'll say straight out that Apple hardware rocks and I like the look of the OS too. However, I don't think that there's "NO EXCUSE not to use a Mac" nor do I agree that you can get a "really fast iBook" for $999.
However.... You do have an excellent point -- the Mac world is just too damned expensive for most people. My brother just bought an iBook for a thousand dollars with G4-800, and 512MB of RAM for the thing is only 80 bucks! It's obviously the best hardware deal in portable form today as far as I'm concerned.. More than 5 hours of battery life in sub-5-pound package?? Amazing!
However, Mac software is filthy expensive. FILTHY. I'm talking 4 times as much as equivalent Win32 programs (he does sound and some video editing). Plus you can't just download warez cuz -- THEY DON'T EXIST! Aside from the odd newsgroup posting, that is. The Mac world is still for those who have lots of money, and who don't mind putting up with some horrible Jaguar performance. Did I mention that OSX.2.2 is incredibly slggish? He's used to Windows-2000-on-P3-900MHz performance, and paying this penalty wasn't part of the bargain (or so he thought). So he's stuck with fancy jellybeans all over his screen, and a nifty (at least I like it:) Dock which has its own nasty share of problems, and none of his old programs run on the new machine, and he hasn't a clue about Darwin or UNIX or anything CLI and he doesn't want to fiddle with non-Aqua apps. So he says, "Show me a native OSX MIDI sequencer for a hundred bucks, make my windows go genuinely full-screen when I press that yellow widget, make that *#&@!*$ dock go away, give me a decent file browser and let me turn off that *@&@$&^#$&!@ anti-aliasing crap and THEN I'll keep this beautiful iBook."
I'd say you're half right about the pirated software thing... most people are willing to pay a reasonable price, but switching to OSX sure ain't reasonable for some folks - and OSX is infinitely more likely than Linux -- so there'll be no switch. I'd say my brother's case applies to about 30% of potential converts out there. [insert obligatory disclaimer for the retards and flamers who don't understand "opinion" and "free speech" here]
I disagree with your "habit and familiarity" statement. Here is my list of reasons for staying with Win2K:
1) Control Panel - the best feature of Win2K allows me to manage hardware and their drivers efficiently. You can keep your fstab files and multitudes of broken Control Panel ripoffs.
2) GUI consistency and responsiveness - even with sh*t like QuickTime and Trillian, my Win2K is more consistent than your KDE or [insert desktop of choice] plus I don't have to deal with Xfree86. That's a *huge* plus. 3)Microsoft Knowledge Base - I've read the man pages and tried Mandrake's help features and they're NOT enough. Not even close. Argue this all you want but I've tried everything except keeping a tame *NIX guru caged by my machine and only Microsoft has helped me out here. Scattered information brought to me by Google isn't enough either. Sorry. 4) Games. Games games games. - WineX is slow, buggy, and that's if it even works. Nice try though, props for effort. 5) All my programs - You think I'll toss hundreds of necessary apps (including Deep Fritz!) for the free GNU ones?? Not likely. See, there are NO equivalents for most of the programs I run, much less anything _better_ or even good enough. Examples here include my Vegas Video suite and numerous specialized tools. 5) RTFM - this little attitude courtesy of my friendly neighborhood Linux developers isn't good enough either. When I go Microsoft, there're a billion people who can help me out.. but often enough they don't need to because Windows is has a powerful help system on its own. 6) Little things - for example, until I can re-arrange and edit my "programs" menu via simple drag-and-drop I won't even touch a distro. That's a simple but necessary thing and I want an easy way to do it.
I think the basic gist of what I'm saying here is encapsulated thus: I'm not a coder so my needs won't be met if I switch to Linux - simple as that. Prove me wrong please.
