Hmm. Besides, what if multiple people are using the computer? E.g., male owns computer/uses netratings but female person goes on FireFox site?:)
And what I meant in my last message was, maybe just more males use NetRatings? NetRatings isn't everyone.. this is just a reading of NetRatings users unless, like I said, they've developed some kind of sex-guessing magic usable on a webpage..
Maybe they should be checking the gender of the viewers. Not that it would have any real relation to that either!
Unless Nielsen/NetRatings invented a 1x1 transparent image that can automatically determine one's sex, this has to be just a look at "male/female people that volunteered for Nielsen/NetRatings that downloaded FireFox". I wonder how many people that use NetRatings are male or female, and how that compares to this number?
About a week ago, out of the blue, I received an ad for some sort of lawn-care product, get a green lawn, that sort of stuff. Curious. Um, I just live here, I don't own the property or house or car or anything.
"then switched off for finished products." If someone's goal is to turn Mudflap off in the final version of their program, um, I certainly hope they turn it off while they're still in the "test version" stage, you know? That way they can actually try to catch their buffer overruns, instead of suddenly having them show up in the "finished product" because they turned the extra security off for it...
Perhaps they had a program that wasn't working properly, or one that hadn't been written yet, and they were conning you into working for them before you were even hired. Bonus for them, they get some programming out of whoever they interview.;)
That sounds like everything I hear on the news, here in the US. would rather you put your kids on drugs than spank., check.
Men's rights are HORRIBLE, if you meet a girl with a kid, you date her for a few months, you could be made to pay child support, even though the kid is not yours., I swear I heard this kind of stuff about California.
Gay rights is having tough times passing when most of the states believe gays are sinners and shouldn't be allowed near children., there and every state.
just had a Police officer under investigation for kissing his girlfriend, while he was in uniform. Her job? A stripper,, that sounds like the kind of screwed-up news I'd hear from any state here.
I love my state, I just wish we could get our heads out of our asses and start working on real issues, like roads, schools and internet access in rural areas, I like the whole country, really, but.. I keep hearing about this screwed-up backwards stuff, these crazy laws, it's.. appalling. How have we become so.. nuts? I think some of the lawmakers are a little disconnected from reality..
Remember, too much water can be bad for your health too.
It takes someone with *problems* to see a game and then go try it in real life - say if it involves wielding shotguns and chainsaws, or stealing cars and beating people up, etc. It's not the game that made them do it. If they're disconnected from reality, if they have mental problems.. it's not the game's fault. Maybe for SOME people it would be, but they must have some problems if they go do crazy stuff because of a game.
Mr. T pities da foo' that can't speak more than english! I know english, bad english, ebonics, pig latin, and l33t, and also how to use them there double negatives!
Seriously, though, why should english-speakers know more than just english? Should people in England know more than just english too? (I assume you're talking about people that live in the US only)
I wouldn't expect people in Mexico to know english if I were to go there, but it would be nice. Though for some reason some papers here (Southwestern US) are in spanish besides english. (e.g., I will see junk mail off and on, in spanish as well as english) Um. I wouldn't realistically expect Mexico to start translating everything into english if a bunch of Americans started going down there or something, you know? *Then* the Americans there should learn another language and be bilingual, but unless someone's going to go interact with someone in another language, why should they be bilingual? Heck, what use is *two* languages? It surely excludes a big portion of the world. You should learn english, french, japanese, spanish, german, and russian too, that'll cover a fair portion. May as well learn esperanto, latin, swahili...
Neverwinter Nights has something similar (I suppose). You can add other users to your ingame buddy list and it will show what server they are playing on (if they allow you). Gunbound also. You can add users to a ingame buddylist and see what game they are in.
Did you notice that part of the character creation screen? The one with the "Sex" button that makes the character look different? That's probably a women.
TOTALLY off topic, but I just had to comment.. The journal entry in your sig made me cry.. really touching, and sad.. it is nice you were able to spend so long (yet so short) with him.
They could also buy it for less from somewhere else (Cheapbytes? I don't know of any others.) I bought Mandrake 9 from them before. Yes, I'm on dial-up.

100 percent broadband access... except here, we're still stuck with dialup. And I'm in the US. Yarrr.. I foresee using dial-up for years to come in my future..
That's what I would like to see as well. I don't like having ten GIMP things in my taskbar, I don't like having to raise or minimize all of them seperately. Other than that, I'm actually pretty comfortable with GIMP's UI. Though, actually.. I liked the file dialogue in before 2.2 more! (and for some reason the new one always likes to read my A: drive, the first time it is opened) I think the reason I liked it before 2.2 is because I could easily type into it and use tab completion, without having to click a + or such (and I don't even see anything for it in the "open" dialogue, but that's okay, I usually open a folder and drag what I want to edit into GIMP.)

Well, you see, they used some really, really defective chips to animate the movie.

And Neverwinter Nights, and Quake 3..
Um.... though, you need Cedega to run NWN's editor. Yeah..
Don't forget the Opera, Lynx, Konqueror, Links, Netscape, Mozilla, Mosaic, Safari, Galeon, NeoPlanet, and telnet fanboys ;)

This reminds me of kkrieger, a beta first person shooter in 96k (requiring 512MB ram, 1.5ghz processor, um, DirectX 9.0b)
