HUD units display speed in MPH rather than an analog dial. As somebody pointed out, digital readouts suck for rate-of-change evaluations, hence the prevalance of analog. Plus there is some latency with them, which also sucks.
Seek psychiatric help if you think chicks "dig" the watch. I will give you that digital watches look terrible, but analog watches are by no means an attractive or flattering piece of jewelry for a wrist:)
Just to inform those who may not know, eDonkey is probably the most flagrant abuser of network resources to ever exist. It frequently uses upwards of 250 concurrent connections and while you may have a lot of pipe left your web browsing will slow to a meander.
you had me until the second line of your wonderful poem there. I believe while we have the highest inmate population per capita that isn't to be mistaken whatsoever as highest crime rate. We just rarely let them get away with it (compared to other countries). You're perception of free speech is where you *really* start to lose the last tangencies of your (short) lived sanity. I guess America needs to stop sneezing too. It's making god busy...
It costs a lot of money to create a total puppet. Furthermore, their exhorbant salaries go into creating the mystic that draws people to buy their product in the first place. It's not rocket science. It's simple business. There is a reason why everyone screams that the record labels are making a killing for what they are selling, and the "stars" are a big joke. It's true, but it's a selling point in music at the time.
Sports players lock themselves into an exclusive monopolistic position. It's easy to believe the persuasion that professional sports players are some clan of elite people, but I conjecture that there is very much talent within the college ranks that is dismissed. It's artificial scarcity. In the end, the people who make the decisions are profiting off the deal so it doesn't bother them in the slightest to pay their players insane salaries.
admittedly i haven't used any mozilla build since the 1.3 milestone but I think this is simply a case of advocating open source for the sake of it. Mozilla was(is?) bloated and... well just plain slow. In my experience opera takes the cake in almost every aspect (although there is some issue with the latest build that is quite annoying). Mozilla is a far to ambitious project in my eyes, which, pretty much spelled out the abysmal mess it was(is?).
I think the sheer halarity of the statement departs with the dubious spelling correction (managled!!!). I think manged code is much much more interesting.. I haven't laughed that hard in weeks, no.. months.
if it really took you an hour to get an ipod to work your a damn idiot and you deserve to use a mac. That aside, the software that ipod comes with didn't have a windows equivalent for a long time... everything else is 3rd party knockoffs. I guess user experience is only being able to play games that are like 5 years old (blizzard is the exception in this respect) and for the most part, being locked into the hardware apple sells you. So much for a control freak eh?
Not in mine or your lifetime... Moore's law only applies to transistor technology, it has nothing to do with ai, and i suspect the relationship is nowhere near linear, even with infinite processing power and memory bandwidth, current AI implementations would still be, roughly, dumb as rocks, no?
While I will agree that Ed's article in itself is extremist and riddled with bias, your nice little painting of the world isn't so great either. While it's not entirely clear from your critical speech here whether or not you are accepting of the shortcomings of OSS software at the time. Such as it's stark inability to penetrate the desktop market at this point. Apparently, everyone who doesn't use "Linux" is an idiot in your mind (inferred). I don't use linux, why? Because I simply don't care, while in your world, it may be ideal for everyone to learn all kinds of neat intricacies about computers, in mine, it's simply useless information. Computers are a tool (an extremely useful one at that), not a staple means of existance (to me).
I'm not saying I support Microsoft's viewpoints and actions, or condemning the OSS movement, I'm just saying, to me, (and a lot of other people), it is illogical at this point to use Linux. I go out to the store and buy $some_new_game and what does it run on? Probably not Linux, although the prevalance of such games is certainly increasing. You can say the same about most commonplace software (for example, quicken, photoshop etc.). Perhaps you can get this stuff to function on Linux, but why hassle? When you dump 500 US on a piece of software (photoshop) the operating system becomes the minimal cost in the equation.
Let me also take the time to dismiss your "target painted on the side" claim directed towards windows operating systems. I'm running windows XP and have been for the past year or so, and guess how many times i've been rooted/infected/exploited? Zero, that's over the span of 2 machines with constant internet connectivity (the machines are also on probably 90% of the time). Perhaps there are situations where Linux is the "clearly" superior choice for the task, but one of them certainly isn't your "COMMON DESKTOP ENDUSER", which I guess would be me.
And, by the way, with all the "Linux" promotion on/. and bashing of Microsoft and other "Non-OSS" software it's kind of hard to say that at least a portion of the OSS (or to be more vague, "computer enthusiasts") isn't attempting to spray paint the grass green where linux lives.
Please note this isn't an attempt to forsee the future, and should not be construed as such.
this is such a joke though, the keyspace is fairly non protected for windows xp, it takes about an hour to generate 10 good keys for whatever flavor your looking for on a 1ghz machine. They work perfectly fine, I know this because..
However, it's incredibly short sighted to suggest that microsoft could not easily fix the keyspace addressing feature to prevent pirated versions of windows from ever updating again. It was done intentionally IMO =)
It's obvious that it's difficult for you to remove your emotion infused logic from the situation but if you took a step back for a second you would indeed see that I am correct in my view. Violation of civil rights is *not* okay, regardless of the situation. It's an erosive situation no matter *how* you look at it. And why are you worried about your kids? If you actually took the time to honestly and objectively state the situation to them (obviously in context to their age), you would not have to worry about them getting "hooked on smack." There is no irrational "quasi-logic" involved in abstaining from drug use. It's a straight forward card to deal to somebody.
May "protecting" the children be the death of the united states... Hurrah
p.s. i'm 18 years old and i'm proud to say i don't use drugs =)
slashcode has a phrase character limit to prevent excessively long phrases from distorting borders, perhaps their choice of length is a bit draconian, and the implementation a bit crude, but it's rather effective. =)
the key to full text searches is taking advantage of the very mechanism you just made an example out of. Compile is unlikely to be used in a text speaking of a dish (we compiled all the components together into a 12 inch pie pan)... uhmm no. However, it has a semi-high relevance of appearing in a computer article, no? Taking note of the differences in rhetoric / articulation when speaking of two different abstract concepts is critical to effectively using a search engine when a term can be ambiguous (and most can be).
a commonly repeated line among retards.. you got it wrong, and it's only funny because a nintendo PR spokesperson said that very thing, unbeknownst to the fact that such things do indeed occur -)
I love it when somebody responds to a post of mine, assumes that I support bush and his fascist regime, and skirts around all the topics i present sans one. I'm sure you must be emotionally involved with the unemployment line but that doesn't change the fact that the U.S. is indeed the biggest exporter in the world etc. =)
yeah manufacturing chemicals unavailable except on the black market due to draconion policies enacted over 50 years ago which has been repeatedly proven to have NOTHING BUT A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE SITUATION (ala prohibition) is a horrid and corrupt deed isn't it?
But, prison rape is a laughing matter because it's "happening" to the bad guys right. Never mind the fact that it might be a death sentence to them not to mention degrading.
Oh, and abuse of power by the DoJ is dandy too, because it's happening to the "bad guys".

So fling it with a trajectory to leave our solar system... Problem solved.
The real issue with disposing of nuclear waste in space is exit catastrophy and transportation costs.
MP3 COM blows... you're not going to make any 'real' customers having them listening over the internet, I'm sorry =)
Thanks for making me laugh.. that's the funniest thing i've read/heard/seen all day. (P.S. it is funniest if you read aloud).
