They will spend billions of $ on Metal detectors in schools, computers in cop cars, other high tech gear for cops.. and do nothing about the segregation that still exists. Do nothing about the fact that millions of kids(mostly monorities) in the worlds richest and most "developed" country do not get basic upbringing.
Their solutions to these problems involve giving more money and equipment and guns to cops. That is: treating the symptom, not the disease. I read that the LAPD recently bought a computr system worth 21M$ to counter racism in the Dept. Wow. In 21M$ so many kids could be given better schools, upbringing and a life. Someone on/. said the OrlandoPD has a budget of 153M (!!! )
And then there are some who still keep on attributing the problems to the inferiority of races. Some would rather spend 300B$ on some misguided conflict with no goals and no certain outcome...
I'm from a 'third' world country where there are many places where people will caution you not to visit. None of those places are in cities. I did not expect to be cautioned in places like NY city, Philly.(Or hear about how things are in places in detroit, chicago LA, Trenton). I mean what is the point of being the most powerfull, most developed country in the world if women are told to be carefull after sundowm near an University campus!!??(Temple U). What is the 300 B expense in Iraq protecting ?? Temple btw has an emergency call booth every 5 feet. Again, treating the symptom not the disease.
If the US ever has a downfall like all other dominant nations in History, I think racism will play its role in it.
And Netscape's practice of openly sharing technology so that other programmers and their companies could build upon its ideas helped give rise to a global technology community, the open-source movement. Perhaps Netscape did help the open source movement. But did not give rise.
People like RMS, ESR, Linus and many others that I can't possibly remember did that. Maybe they mean it was first for a company to open its source ? I don't know about that. Was there no large company before 1995 to give away source?
Google search?? So? My hamster can do a google search and come up with something better.
Because I consider Maxtor a major player, and they offer a one year warranty (which would make you, again, wrong).
Newegg also has Maxtor. The point in this thread and your above quote is "Does Maxtor offer a > 1 year warranty or not?" Answer: YES, you're too caught with yourself to find it but Maxtor does offer it !
Maxtor also offers a one year warranty for retail-buying-non-geek-pedantic-pricks(or trolls?) like you.
HTH
You dont see anything about warranty in my link because you're full of it. I gave you the Option of looking at any drive since all of them have atleast 3 yr warranty.
Similar (SATA) drive, with three years warranty.
Call yourself a geek/nerd and you shop on CompUsa??? Tsk tsk.
Wrong.
No manufacturer is giving less than 3 years warranty.
The 10,000 rpm WD Raptor and all Seagate drives come with 5 year warranty.
I think you wanted to refer to the not so recent attempt by some major players to cut warranty to 1 year. That didn't last long, I guess because their sales must have suffered.
You're completely wrong. Piracy is nothing but a plarform used by large companies to increase their market share. Here's what Bill has to say about it: "Although about three million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software," Gates reportedly said. "Someday they will, though. And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade."
You use IE and FF. That means you use Windows.
So why would you hire an UNIX programmer to look at your FF breakage? Or are you just trolling.
Or maybe the breakage is a result of your imcompetence. Theres no way a FF upgrade will break MANY machines simply because an FF upgrade is not tied to the underlying Windows architecture like an IE patch might be. Your claim that IE is tested before you install it by MS and therefore it won't break any machines or configurations is ridiculous.
Heres another link that had shown up on/. earlier.
I'm sure that at the minimum, the new shell from MS will free programmers/scripters from implementing wildcard filename completion (using * ?) and put this functionality in the shell.
I know that your more enlightened countries allow a person to be charged multiple times with the same crime, but we have a little something against that here in the backwards United States.
IANAL, but why shouldnt a person be charged multiple times for the same crime? What if more evidence is uncovered?
In general, indian movies suck. However good gems do come along once in a while.
Watch Pushpak or Shatranj ke Khilari or (almost) any movie by Satyajit Ray. Some of them are really good.
I'm guessing you listened to that high pitch screeching noise at home... to get really irritated, you must listen to it in a cinema hall! But increasing 'sophistication' of music and usage of better sound tech means that fewer movies are made like that.:-|
Won't this also make it easier for MPAA/RIAA to write custom programs to hunt down torrents and trackers ? Make it easier to send their armies of lawyers behind those pillagers and rapists on the high seas?
Or instead they could invest in good stories, believable plots, decent actors, cheaper popcorn, to attract people in cinemas.
Who am I kidding.
I just saw XXX-2 and my brain is still recuperating.
They send their best over here to get an education.
No.
Most Indian students coming here are simply the ones savvy enough to take the 'bold' step to leave India.(I can explain more about this.)
Combine all this with TabBrowser Extensions and you have almost unlimited control. You can group tabs, move individual tabs around, give color to certain tabs, have multiple rows of tabs, change the tab width, change the position of tabs, change the tab Title, Auto reload tabs, save multiple browsing sessions(ie bookmark only if you need to) and tons more options.
Its got so many options that some people consider it too much and counter productive. However, when used properly I find this extension to be indespensible. When you first install this and restart Firefox, it will ask you what level of settings you want. Unless you feel adventurous, choose Minimal settings. Btw your settings can be saved and exported for use on another computer.
God tried to mollycoddle us in the Garden of Eden. What did we do?
"Us" ? You mean Adam and Eve. (supposedly)
What did we do? Told him to STFU and did our own thing. That wasnt 'us', you or me. It was Adam and Eve. (supposedly).
Your god has assumed that because Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit(ie disobeyed him), several billion people will do exactly the same thing if given the chance. I'm willing to argue that the majority will not. Yet your god chooses to punish countless generations for a 'sin' they did not commit. Do you punish small children the First Time they make a mistake and then promptly punish all their following generations for eternity?
For Adam and Eve were nothing but small children. How could they have known obeying god is a 'good' thing untill they ate from the tree that tells them the difference between good and evil?? How could they have known satan was evil ?
Think about all the things people say about god. You said:
He wanted 'something'(he created us). Ie, he was lacking somethig in his life.
He 'loves' humans.
He gets pissed. (Many examples abound in the bible for this)
He gets violent. This is not just about burning Sodom or poisoning entire Egyptian town, but killing many thousands in earthquakes, diseased etc.
He changes his mind. He relents. Many people say god changes his mind about the old testament and so 'some' of it is not valid.
He gets jealous. If you worship another god for example. And then he wants venegence as well!
He dislikes many things (gays for example).
All in all, does god sound like anythihng different from the man down the street apart from his special powers? He sounds like a moron with an ant farm.
Also, all this talk was about the christian god. What about hindu, egyptian, greek, Mayan, inca, eskimo points of view?
The abroginies think the world was created in a dream.
When we talk of ID, shouldnt hindu, egyptian, greek, Mayan, inca, eskimo ID theories be given equal footing with christian ID?
Whose god are you talking about ? The idea of god and ID does not begin and end with christianity or judaism.
If you've read the Quran, it repeatedly mentions how god has 'blinded' the enemies of believers. Or how god has 'hardened' the hearts of non-believers. Or how it is god's will that non-believers will never find the 'true path' to allah.
Hinduism repetedly talks about how gods come down to earth to deceive humans.
Creationism != Christian Fundy creationism.
All other religions have creationist beliefs. If you are standing up for your god or your ID beliefs, it is up to you to prove why only YOUR beliefs are correct and the Hindu/Buddhist/Egypy/Greek/Inca/Eskimo/Scientology beliefs are wrong.
After all, these other people 'believe(d)' in their god and ID theory equally fervently. It is up to you to prove why ONLY the bible is correct.
Many fundimentalists do not understand the nature of God as described in the scriptures, but rather the nature of God as described by poorly trained teachers.
These 'other' creationists will say the same thing about you.Why are they wrong and you right? Their 'proof' is the same as yours: high-horsed assumption.

To be fair, when you uninstall or upgrade Firefox, the extensions still remain in the .mozilla directory (or in Docume~/Username/App-Data/Mozilla).
Combine all this with TabBrowser Extensions and you have almost unlimited control.

If Microsoft want to get serious about security, they'll have to change the run-as-administrator culture.
This culture runs pretty deep. Stories about MS exployees often mention they run their computers as admins.
