I have this odd feeling this will get me modded down even though it's not as a lame joke....but theres a perfectly easy way to make your old computer last, beowulf it with other old computers and it'll last at least a little longer
*shudders* That might not be a good thing.....becuase then there would be millions more no talent bands out there, though I do admit it would be much better with out the uber-greedy music industry and movie industry there to try to force us to see and hear only what they want us to
Walmart I'm not sure if they are that cheap on their website but they are that cheap here, but regardless he's right anytime you spend any type of money you in essence say go ahead do it some more we don't mind. Now I realize that most people arn't gonna go all out and boycot the movie/music industry but would it really hurt you to cut back till they hurt bad enough to realize we don't like what they are doing? It's time we do something to say hey enough is enough we won't restrict us anymore, there is a reason they call this a free country
wow this is so impressive it's faster.....one problem though it does nothing for those of us here in my area becuase we can't even get normal dsl.....last mile bridged my foot/grumbling
I'd give almost anything to have that kinda space all I have now is 60 gigs and that fills up constantly, though whats really sad is between me and my friend we could have that sucker filled up in about a week with tons of worthless crap:) thank god for technology

ok that aside once Elon finishes making one of these things can we make him his own first customer and launch him into orbit? or better yet launch his millions into space and let them shower down over the world that would cool (if any of it survived re-entry)
that way when you give him your credit card so that he can launch your sattlite into space he can clean you out just like with Paypal sounds like a lot of fun
As far as sci-fi movies go even though it was a cartoon I still love Titan AE I'm not even sure why but it's one of my favorite sci-fi movies that I've watched.
As far as TV I've always loved Star Trek (don't get me wrong I'm no trekkie) I never really was into TOS but I loved the Next Generation and the later seasons of DS9 and Voyager. I've never managed to give Enterprise a chance though I've heard if it were on hbo it'd be a porno....I always wanted to be like Worf...only white....and with no wrinkles.....which would make me about the same as the klingons from TOS:)
yea that'll be pretty awesome being able to play quake 25 arena in one eye and see while your walking down the street in the other
Imagine the possibilities of this being able to surf the net through a wireless internet adapter implanted into your brain anywhere, any time, the porn industry will skyrocket!

I wish my computer were the size of a suger cube, lan parties would be easy, just stick my computer in my pocket and go though a suger cube monitor might not be as nice.......
"hey stop shooting at my I droped my magnifying glass"
I know I thought that was pretty harsh too I mean jeeze just mod it to funny or something don't mod it all the way to -1 thats like you getting punished for someone elses stupidity
and I thought th 20-30 person lan I went to at k-sate last tuesday was big.....wonder if I could get Asus to sponser one of my lans or get any jolt since you can't get it here, just goes to show though I can't do anything right I mean for crying out loud my lan this sunday will probably have 12 people at the most
I wanna move to Sweden hot girls...huge lan parties, big bank accounts from people in other countries whats not to like??
Ahhh pong I remember the first time I played pong on one of these pong ah the good ole days.....if only the dog hadn't chewed the thing to bits.. might be worth something now.
I'd gladly give that game a month if it meant me getting the endless hours stolen by morrowind back....bastard game, anyways cool news I'll have to get mandrake 9 working again so I can play this game (and for other reasons of course)
I never played sc2 only sc3 and even though it sucked from what I remember I'll have to give sc2 a chance
I got acused a couple weeks ago of being an immoble robot....but i think thats just becuase I never leave my computer didn't read the article but I doubt they're talking about others like me

other funny things from the faq
Okay, I didn't mean to make my geekness such an issue, though it is kind of funny. Don't worry, I do leave the house, and I do many, many things besides Lego.
like watch star trek, go to star trek conventions, play with my star trek action figure...you get my point
No I don't need help finding a date. Yes, cute girls may still e-mail me, though I will surely question your attraction to a 24-year-old who plays with Legos.
the real question here won't be why are you atracted to me but are you really a woman:)
but hey I'm a geek too and to be hounest it's a pretty cool ship I'd never do anything like it but thats just becuase it would mean I'd have to leave my monitor
which would you rather be? a copycat or a nerd? what nerd builds a starship from a kit when he can come up with his own from legos? building from a kit....thats like bill gates making an operating system off someone elses work.....wait a minnute...your right might as well use a kit

After reading through this article I will admit I agree with some of what this guy is saying, but then came the part about his work getting stolen on p2p serivces.....becuase I'm sure theres just millions of people that get on everyday and pirate news articles, if he wants to cry about people stealing his work the internet is the one to blame becuase there are thousands of differnt sources for news if I go to one site and have to pay a small amount to read the article I am of course gonna just search google for a differnt source of news.
now as for the music industry, people try to justify downloading music by one of two things either A.cd's cost too much and I don't want to pay for them or B.I don't like the music I'm fed by the industry
reason B I think is a good reason to get music off p2p servers, but when it comes to reason A thats just plain stupid for one thing costs of buying a music cd HAS come down I just the other day went to walmart and bought Incubus morning view and make your self cd's for $9 each and I got several other cd's for at or below that price cd's are comming down maybe not all of them but theft is theft no matter how you justify it (this isn't to say i side with all the crap the music industry has or will do but it's true regardless)
Anyways mod me down if you want thats my sixty cents
