Might have to find my old BBS day tape backups and get the modem out of storage and fire up Renegade. I guess this means we can all play LORD again on a 28.8k modem!
Our congress is whining about this, however they still continue to make laws for IT things of which they dont understand unless its understanding with a fat contribution check for their campaign!
I dont know about you but the last time I negotiated a T1 contract, I MADE SURE it had a Service level agreement defining service availability (bw, uptime, etc). This just seems like a ploy to get more money out of you!
Bell's Mission Statement - Charge alot for little in return and then charge em more.:D
I use public toilets and I piss on the seats. I walk around in the summertime saying "how about that heat". I'm an asshole, he's an asshole, what an assho-le-o.
Sorry, I couldn't resist the asshole song on this occassion.:p
Yea it pops up alright, Its blank here. If you have the technology, I still have a proxy with nothing more than a few OSS addons still block the images thus rendering the popup useless.:D </gloat>
I find it hard to believe that wholesale copyright infringement is ripping that much off the bottom line; very few people actually have the bandwidth to download movies, and not all of those have DVD burners
Yea, I can count on one hand out of the 100 people I know at work have dvd-burners, me and the other geek in the company.
For black and white just use 300 dpi images. Tiffs offer typically very little compression unless they have some special codecs. I have access to high end Xerox document scanners with massive feeders and they primary use tiffs for rasterizations and wrap them in a proprietary compression format. But in the print industry, PDF storage of files you dont want to alter too much in the future seems to be the way to do it.
Try the vga.pcf or vga11x19.pcf i think commonly found in dosemu. Stick it in/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc and mkfontdir that dir, xset fp rehash and away you go. Its a chance it wants Dos ASCII font since it probably was a dos app ported. Then you might only need to tell konsole to use the vga font, usually -fn vga in xterm clones.
The irony in all of this is, Intel, of all the companies in this industry, is complaining about wasting cpu cycles. One would tend to think if anyone had more processing potential at their disposal, it would be them. After all, they are the CPU king of the world. Maybe they should have saved their own court costs, and applied that to their own infrastructure.
While there at it, make the telco's exchange Caller id data. Shrug, I have bellsouth's privacy director, and its worth every penny, not that Im plugging.;D Still it flags moms calls from out of state as a telemarketer so I have to still answer it, it would be nice to see caller id say "XX Telemarketing co." or something along those lines.
The petroleum and auto industries are sueing Autozone for selling octane boosting products as it is a means of circumventing fuel milage controls implemented in their products.
This sh*t is getting pathetic. Yea, it's a threat I guess. The same way it's a threat to just be alive. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime. A truck driver could easy kill 3000 people just as easy with a tanker truck with the right conditions, and thats all it takes. Everyone just commit suicide since we'll be safer burned to ashes, or buried etc... As for the outsource firm, they just want their greed satisfied and just have shown that their clueless by making a statement like that. Times like this, I wish "we the people" stop acting like "we the puppets" and stand up for themselves as most/.ers would. This is exactly what happens when you have old folks who do not understand technology dictacting its path. Everyone run out and buy your new biochem-nuclear Michael Jackson protective bubbles with internal/exterior nerf padding for safety today! Oh wait, now you will die from lead poisoning. FYI, in a 5 mile stretch in my city, I get 20 unsecured public APs I can use in seconds. Infact, I've never had to bother cracking WEP, since the dumbasses just turn them on and leave their APs called "Linksys" or "DLINK".:D

Did we forget about the pentium bug a while back? Um, Divide by zero errors, etc that many operating systems had to make work arounds for?

What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden PDA?
I cant find the "Paradigm" key on my keyboard. ;D
Perhaps THAT explains why the secondary clipboard selection isnt used, its hard coded to goat.cx.
Yeah nude, and holding a some "before" poster for penis enlargement supplements. :D

Really, They are just beating deadbeef. I doubt it will do anything but change the way the stuff is distributed.
As for game makers, the reason they cant turn a profit is we have about 5 millions FPS clones now.
The gaming industry is running out of new, innovative ideas and us older gamers are bored with stuff.
Question is she gonna go lezbo while she serves those 7 years in jail?
She is sentenced to a federal, pound-me-up-the-a^% prison.

Hrmm. Must be hardware here in Louisiana. GA no call list pretty much defeats "Privacy Director" if I understand it properly not being a GA resident.

Yes, and we suffer since we're a minority. AHA! That's the ticket, everyone write the ACLU!
