obsolete? man, i'm typing this on a g4 700 mhz imac. I am buying a mini mac as soon as i get my tax refund, as well as a new powerbook. This "obsolete" hardware does everything a computer needs to do, unless you are a game junky. i can be ripping cds, downloading music on limwire, chatting in ichat and browsing slashdot at the same time with no slow down. at 700mhz. these mini macs come in at over 1 gigahertz. more than enough for joe blow to check email and browse the web.
the US still is in afghanistan, i have 3 Marines from my platoon there. I guess it doesnt rate the shock news coverage that Iraq rates. As to the rest of your points, i was pointing out the view point as presented by US media. I personaly don't think that prioners made to stand for a few hours a day in capes and hoods is uncruel when US Marines and soldiers are standing 18+ hours per day in full MOPP (mission oriented protective posture) (ie nuclear biological chemcial gear weighing in a 50 pounds plus) and are handing out food and water and fixing the water and electrical lines that power Iraq and are being blown up by IED (improvised explosive devises) to provide servcies to the innocent. but i guess their lives are expendible, right? while those who massacre and desecrade them should be revered for defending their arab right should be praised? Regaurdless of your opinion of WHY we went into iraq, look at what we are doing for them. Look beyond the news. We are honestly trying to help the iraqi people. and we are being slaughtered while we do so.
so once you've oppressed the rights of a man to rape and kill women you've suppressed the rights of everyone else in the country? All the recent law changes were made to adjust after september 11, when terrorists flew planes into various buildings and killed thousands of innocents. I acknowledge that the new lawes impede on some of the freedoms the forfathers gave our country. but our forfathers never predicted 12,000 pounds of jet fuel burning 3,000 innocent people to death. They never predicted Sadam Hussein using chemical weapons to kill thousands of kurdish people. the nature of the world has changed. "The right to bear arms" has changed. the constitution is outdated. i believe we need to inherit the will of the constitution and rewrite it to fit modern day life.
what the fuck? the rape of falluja??? lets see, insurgents controlled that city and used that position to behed american and foreign citizens in the name of allah. and yes, we liberated it. I can say us, for I am a US Marine serving overseas. You want to talk about a rape? How about the rape of Janjiing? Or Nanking as americans usualy pronounce it. When japanese occupied the chinese capital in WW2 and summarily executed over 300,000 civilians. They cut the unborn babies out of mothers stomachs and baynotted them. what the US forces do in Iraq is nothing, NOTHING compared to rape. I admit the US Military has made mistakes. But nothing attrocious has been committed in iraq. after watching the nicholas berg beheding, how can you possibly contend that the us is using improper force in iraq? they are willing to sacrifice innocent civilians to further their political agenda. We all cry and moan about the attrocities committed at our prisons in Iraq, and i agree, they were attrocious, but in the nature of the United States of America, we held those personel accountable for their actions. where are the reprocutions for the savages that beheded the americans? where are the reprocutions for the people that financed terrorists flying airliners into new yorK? I appreciate all the protestors, they remind me that everything I am doing is right.
yeh.. its called the ISMT (indoor simulated marksmanship training) its usualy just used for Marines that fail repeatedly on the rifle range.. they can practice all day long without wasting a shitload of ammo ($$$)
Why not combine this with a packaged VOIP service.. beats standing in line for a pay phone right? stay within 50 feet or so of the phone, break out your laptop and makes calls via VOIP.
yes i know my sig is broken.
perhaps this number was gross profit... not total sales amount...

I agree with some of what you have to say.. on the other hand I like to be informed in real time. As my name hints, I am a Marine and I have many many friends over there, and at home i stay glued to the news listening to reporters embedded in my buddies units and hearing what they are doing. I just wish I could go join then, but if my MEF left there would be no one left to keep N korea in check...
our missles aren't 'lobbed' into iraq, we have precise guidance systems placing out weapons onto specific sections of buildings. Iraq on the other hand, has very low tech gear, and general just lobs their missles in the general direction of US troops or kuwait.
Really. I've been living in Japan (Okinawa) now for close to 3 years, and I never ceased to be amazed at the quality and low cost of all the electronics and software available here. The Japanese are varey subserviant and bend over backwards to please the customer and repair any problems. Hell, my DSL line has gone out 1 time for about 3 hours in the last 14 months, I had a NTT tech over to fix it in about 30 min from calling in, and they gave me one month of free service...
This looks pretty good for people in need of a simple computer running windows. I remember reading however that sony used analog interconnects for the display instead of digital like the iMac. The price is pretty competitive, and it seems like they could tap into a pretty large market. "I need windows... video card whats a video card."
Why is this such a horrific event? First it is the responsibility of the admins of the access provider to shut down access to the attackers. But if they don't do it.. why is it bad if someone upstreams kills all there access? If it stops a large scale DDoS attack.. it would be a good thing. Or maybe i've been drinking too much bacardi 151.
You posted this exact same shit in a previous mac thread a while ago. Maybe someone with more energy than me will dig it up. either way, you are full of it my friend.
Just imagine the possiblities for all the apple users.. load up ichat and look for Rendezvous contacts on the same flight! Maybe you could hook up with a female type you never would have talked to before.
Imagine your sitting in a fighting hole for 12+ hours. When you're not defending the enemies assault, you are launching your own security or combat patrols. Time for a food break? no chance. Time to pop a pill.. maybe. But having a patch on your arm that would last for 48 hours or so would be a godsend.
a nuetron bomb is HIGH radiation, SMALL explosion. yah know, kill all the peoples and leave the buildings and oil fields intact for us to take over.
ooh rah!
I spent about a month in the Philippines this last year, and text messaging is huge. Everybody has a cell phone, even if they don't have a house. People use them to keep in touch accross the large country. Pilipinos rarely make an actual call, they text short messages back and forth all day. They have "text mates" kind of like pen pals.. people that have never met but correspond over text. I bought my wife a few pre-paid cell cards.. they ran about 250 pesos.. USD5.00. This gives you very few minutes of phone time.. but unlimited text messaging. If this was to be taxed, it would be very detrimentel on the pilipino society. My wife and I are in Japan, the only way we can keep in touch with her family is over SMS texting.

UCMJ even.
unfortunately this can never happen, it is against the USMC (uniform code of military justice) to appear in lewd photos. sigh.
I would assume a couple of PCI IDE controllers...

All i have to say is.. http://www.redcoat.net/pics/riaa.jpg
depends on the type of operation. Generaly you can sneak along most anything. the 93 van guys (sat comm) usualy throw a small TV and PS2 in the van...
