wow, i dont think anyone could come up with a more succinct statement that summarizes why 12 year olds shouldnt be allowed near a computer, especially 12 year olds who think they know the PC market...
I think your mother is asking you to go to bed kid
um since when have they aimed high? We are talking about the same company that stole DOS, backcoded the Mac OS, released its own uncompatable version of Java... should I keep going?
um no offence but its a proven fact the hindenburg didnt explode from hydrogen... its a myth.
The true nature of the explosion was because of the doped skins they where using on ALL air ships at the time, im sure hydrogen played a part in the end, but watch the explosion again, watch the ship burn.... sept one problem.
Anyone who has taken High School Chem known hydrogen cant burn!
It explodes yes, but there is no flame. That bilmp was burning on the way down, you can even see where it STARTS burning on the skin in the film. The hydrogen would not have ignited the skin like that, only a fire before the hydrogen was released would in fact cause the skin to burn. In fact very little of the hydrogen did infact explode, if you watch the film you can see a lot of it actually escaped the air pockets without exploding, if it had exploded it would have been a fireball MUCH bigger and going much further into the air than what we saw.
It was propiganda by the state department that led to the hydrogen myth, they wanted a good excuse to keep the Nazi owned blimps out of the US and that gave them the reason.
In every case of a blimp "exploding" in the years of the airships almost every single one was because a incidiary device (explosive bullets in WWI, flame from a stove, etc.) was used to ignite the skin or wooden frame of the airship which in turn seriosuly damaged the structual stability of the ship , and burrned off the skin covering the airship, causing its demise. It wasnt impossible to explode the hydrogen mind you, just extreamly hard because it was carefully shielded.
Now the way these blimps are designed, there wouldnt even be humans in them, or even a frame for that fact. There would be very little in the way of a incendiary device that could destroy one. Sure a stray meteorite might, but so would one take out a shuttle if it had hit.
When you actually know what your talking about, you can respond troll, Apple and Motorola where very much in with IBM in the creation of the PowerPC, which is why ALL THREE have the rights on it, not just one or the other and all three had different ideas, IBM sticking with the G3 and making the G5, Motorola making the embeded and G4. Apple with the blueprints to make all of them.
Tell me something Apple hasnt inovated or invented in the last 5 years? How about the fact that some of the 802.11 tech was designed by Apple, (even though credit is given entirely to Lucent, Apples partner in the venture.) How about firewire, Apple pretty much completely designed that and your hard pressed to find a DV camcorder or hard drive that doesnt either use it, or have a option for it.
Dont be upset that your computer maker of choice hasnt invented one thing actually used in computers but instead a model on how to SELL computers, everyone has to find their place, and that was Dells, and they do very well rebadging or stealing other peoples tech. Dell and Microsoft where made for each other for that very reason.
exactly HP has been very inovative, it just might not be tech you see, but quite possibly is in things you own but you dont know about it being there.
Its just like how you might using a PowerPC chip co-developed by Apple/IBM and Motorola but dont realize it because its in your cellphone or PDA or even your GameCube...
The difference between HP and Dell is that HP is diverse, even Microsoft isnt JUST in the OS field but does other work.... but if computers are the only thing that you think about when you think technology, you dont realize that.
Dell just jumps onto the bandwagon and buys things from other people and puts them together and says they built it.... lets not forget those "printers" are Lexmark printers rebadged. This is the exact same phillosophy Apple used back in the 80's and early 90's with their inkjet printers. They where Canons and HP's.
its been out for a year now, actually i think longer, how is this headline news, it seems more like a ad to me.
now if the guy MADE them himself like i know a lot of people have and posted how, then i would be impressed
personally I thought the A-10 was more ugly... but then again Im partial to that one over the tin cans they fly now.
Least your more likely to fly home after a missle hit in a A-10, as quite a number of pilots in the first gulf war proved.
apparently your the minority since verizon was rated the best in customer service and support recently (with at&t as the worst, no surprise there)
As for picture phones, there are a ton of them for verizon, infact i know of one that is great and by LG.... but it begs the question.... who really needs their phone to take pictures... PDA replacement i can see, ability to be used as a modem yes... but PICTURES?
but I think by saying this, this is a heads up to those people who contributed, many who might be high profile and big money and in possitions to make SCO hurt that SCO is gunning for them too.
That way they might go after SCO themselves simply by SCO being so full of it as to ask for that kind of useless information, but information that sometimes companies dont want you to know
NO thats not my logic, because quite simply put they ARNT taking away any rights from me....
Do I burn more than 7 CDs NO
Do I need the tracks on more than 5 computers NO
Do the tracks usually go anywhere other than my iBook anbd my iPod BIG FUCKING NO
Where were my rights taken away.... no where it alowes me to do everything I did before no problem.
The only "right" that was taken away was a right you never had, and thats pirating the music AND even then theroretically yhou could do it, you can always burn a copy of a copy no problem. Im sorry but you have yet to prove your point to anyone with common sense in their head, which is why the get rid of the DCMA side looks so bad. You advocate breaking the law to get rid of the law.... Yes it has happened before but unlike the civil rights movement and the womans right to vote, people are just not going to care about a bunch of people bitching over a 14 dollar peice of metal and plastic.
I nevert said I didnt think the DCMA is wrong, Im just sick of people advocating breaking the law to get rid of it when in this case its not going to work, especially since people in the general public honestly dont care, or think we are wrong in fact.
sorry man, you make a valid point and your flamebaited..... I've just given up, when the Goverment justifies making tougher DCMA laws because of it though you will see me screaming told you so at every pimple face skript kiddie i see as I smash thier face in with my iPod.
i dont see having some guy wait on me and STILL paying less for gass than the rest of the country dumb (there are still places that are selling 1.80 regular here while most are 1.90-1.98)
whats interesting is that some people do it anyway, and anytime your filling up a boat, your pumping the gass yourself. I actually doubt anyone has ever been prossecuted for that law
Maybe its because we have gone years of nill support, but as a mac user I have pretty much stopped bitching and moaning about not getting certain things and have come to accept it as the downfall of using my OS.
Does it make me want to switch, HELL NO. Heck half the fun is figuring out ways to get around some of my limitations, they very few that exist (and usually exist from use of some microsoft prodect like MS Java,.Net, WMA, etc.
If you want to use linux, fine. You could use a C64 for all I care, just use what you want to use and stop these pointless OS wars which you all realize will never be won. There will always be a place for all the OS's, so why fight?
Like I said, maybe its because I come from the really dark ages of the Mac when almost nothing was made for it, todays mac users have it very good indeed, but because of the limitations a HUGE free/shareware community started, and thrived on the mac os. Even today 99% of the software downloads on the OS X page on Apples website is shareware and freeware tools and programs to make things easier. If you like the OS you figure out ways to make it work.
Honestly I have found very little in XP to make me even begin thinking about a windows computer, but i know a lot of people love them. In my mind they are missguided, but if they like it, how am I to object to it.
So in the end i guess I can just restate the obvious, use what you like, who cares what others use, just work around it. ITs not easy but we can have a multi-OS world and be stable.
not true.... there are many other ways he could have, I used to build up hideous ammounts in HS in our band room by just walking on the carpet.
We had metal railings around out band pit and during the winter if you touched it wrong...... OUCH. More than once one of us was shocked hard enough to make us fall backwards it was so nasty. You could tell when it was a freshman in the room cause almost always they would be the ones to get shocked. There usually was enough charge to shock you 2 or 3 times before you where ok.
But the only fabric we could have been building this ststic up from was the Indoor Outdoor carpeting we had, or are clothes.
Thats exactly why Im not one of them... both me and my girlfriend chose jobs that are not so overly abundant so that we could party with more people. Even though shes new to MMORPG's she took the white mage and is having a ball with it despite being a target most of the time
Likewise Im a Monk, which might not nearly have the defence of a Warrior, but a Elvian Monk kicks major ass in accuracy and damage delt, I might not deal killer blows, but I hit 90% of the time and with a constant level of damage that other jobs cant beat, especially early on. Plus I dont need to by new swords and stuff nearly as much as other people do since I use fists.... I managed to get to level 11 without gloves. and with gloves I cant take on some nasty enemies as long as they dont cast stat spells... If I have a white mage, then I cant pretty much take on all
flamebait me all you want, you know Im right, and my Karma has been excellent:-D Like my sig says, you manke a valid point about how little the slashdot crowd reads articles and assumes the worst and you get labled a troll.

its like 41 megs! Wonder if burning support means more supported cd-rw drives
what about working in a strip club?

as it is kids are using them to copy tests but think about what else might be done with them.
