Since when am I one of HIS citizens? I call bullshit.
I also call bullshit on feeling protected. And who am I being protected from? Those nasty Iraqis who didn't have anything to do with 9/11? Oh, them, huh? I feel safe. But then again, I felt pretty safe beforehand.
Now, on the other hand, am I being protected from Bin Laden (That is, if he isn't a scapegoat) or those planejackers mainly from Saudi Arabia? Oh, that's right...
It's also written "Thou shall not kill", there is no exception for anything, whether it be "unless you are the leader of a country", "your kids are hungry", or "even if what you are killing is just a plant"...
I've tried AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and one other one I cannot remember the name of, and no matter what, it will not go away. Both AdAware and S&D detect and identify it, but telling them to fix/heal it does no good.
I'm one of the people blessed with above-average vision (20/10 rather than the standard 20/20). This means I can see the individual pixels in a normal LCD monitor from several feet away. Gets annoying at times, especially anti-aliasing, which just looks to me like a bunch of gray pixels surrounding the actual letters.
However, with the new smaller pixels in things like this 4.5" 1024x768 screen (And the 17" 1920x1280 monitor in my Dell d810 laptop), I finally am not annoyed by the pixels. I have to get within a foot of the screen now to see the individual pixels. I think it rocks.
My apologies to those with lesser vision, but imagine what it would be like for those of you to look at a screen with 1/10 inch (or bigger) pixels. Yuck.
I've been hoping for this since a few years ago IBM announced their ($20000!!) monitor with pixels 1/5 the size of normal ones.
Now if we could just get to the resolution of paper! Bring back vector graphics technology rather than relying on pixels.
Uh, you are aware, aren't you, that second hand smoke has been found to be far less harmful than the highly publicized reports of a few years ago that were trying to say that secondhand smoke is far more dangerous than firsthand smoke? Those reports were bullshit.
Tell ya what, I'll back your cause when you can tell me where I can go to avoid Diesel exhaust, highly carcingenic smoke from people's outdoor grills, and most of all, where to go camping where I do not have to be exposed to extremely dangerous campfire smoke. (Yes, campfire smoke is some of the worst stuff out there.) Almost sounds comical, doesn't it? But it's true.
While I'm not all that worried about it, I do find myself far more concerned with the effect of hundreds of city buses each burning a couple hundred gallons of diesel each day, or an entire log of burning vegetable material, than I am of a couple grams of burning tobacco. Or the absolute millions of tons of mildly radioactive coal being burnt each year, that's probably the most scary and major cause of lung cancer in this country.
While, yes, smoking is bad, and very harmful to the smoker, the whole secondhand smoke thing is a giant red herring. Check the funding, most of the money comes from the coal burning energy companies, trying to keep our eyes of the real source of increasing cancer rates in this country - the megatons of coal burnt each year and the levels of cancerous, radioactive soot we breathe in with each breath.
And hell, I don't see ANYONE out there defending the park rangers who have to breathe campfire smoke every day. They are in more danger than some whiner who occasionally has to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke.
Quit being a pussy. If your body can't handle a little bit of smoke, then you need to be removed from the gene pool. Evolution in action.
Hippies?? Hippies? Is that the best you can do? Lame ass clone repugnican.
Hell, I'd think you'd like this as it flies just like this country is flying with the clones in charge: One wing pointing backwards while the other points backwards. Sounds like the republican ideal. While you're at it, why not paint "This is not a military plane. This plane does not fly. We are for a smaller plane." on it. Should about match the rest of your snickering lies. Democrats suck, but republicans are totally uncool stinky unAmerican pieces of disinforming shit.
My family is the decendants of an ancient Welsh selective breeding/genetic modification program nearly 1000 years ago to breed a better warrior. Our name, Kimball, is from the Welsh 'Cyne-Boldt' which means 'bold warrior' (Also translates to 'Stone Chief', but not really sure what that's supposed to mean.) which is the name given to those who participated in the program, which ended when the damned Anglo-Saxons took over Wales long ago.
Nowadays we are based in Nebraska, pretty much all of us are over 6 feet tall (even the women!) with the tallest being 6'11", most of high intelligence.
To make sure we remain healthy, we celebrate an old Welsh ritual, "Rhannu yr hen Ddihenydd" (Sharing of the Ancient Days) when a child reaches its first birthday where the family gets together and shares in eating foul substances (such as used cat litter) along with the yearling child, to promote a strong, healthy immune system.
Off topic, I know, but need some good comebacks to the Microsoft Zealot that just sent this around at work:
Ben says: Yah, but it's open source.
John says: Open source is a bad joke hoist by their own petard on the Don Quixote's who hate MS (just because)
DEVELOPER 1: Let's spend all of our spare time writing something COOL.
DEVELOPER 2: Yeah, and we won't charge anything for it. That'll show Micro$oft.
BIG CORPORATION (not Micro$oft) EXECUTIVE 1: Let's use that COOL thing from DEVELOPER 1 and 2. It's doesn't cost anything and it's already at version 0.02. All of the blogs say that by version 1.0 it will be even COOLER.
BIG CORPORATION (not Micro$oft) EXECUTIVE 2: Yeah, we'll make ton's of money off it and be the next Micro$oft.
BIG CORPORATION (not Micro$oft) EXECUTIVE 1: Wow, we're done and we only spent twice as much money developing with the buggy undocumented version 0.02 of that COOL thing from DEVELOPER 1 and 2.
BIG CORPORATION (not Micro$oft) EXECUTIVE 2: Yeah, and we didn't pay Micro$oft one dime. Let's waste some more money sticking it to Micro$oft.
DEVELOPER 1: Hey, I'm thirsty and I don't have any money for my Dt Mt Dew.
DEVELOPER 2: Yeah, but at least BIG CORPORATION is making lot's of money off of our work and not Microsoft. Boy we showed Micro$oft.
DEVELOPER 1: Ok, but I need my Dt Mt Dew. Let's go do something else.
BIG CORPORATION (not Micro$oft) EXECUTIVE 1: Hey, nobody is supporting that COOL thing anymore. We're really screwed. Let's see if we can't pay Micro$oft an arm and a leg to solve our problem with their crappy software.
BIG CORPORATION (not Micro$oft) EXECUTIVE 2: No, let's use the COOL thing from DEVELOPERS 3 and 4. According to their web site, it will have everything we need just as soon as pigs can fly. And, it's free!
UH... OK... You mean like fever and puking and diarrhea?
That's great.
Oh, let me guess, you're some punk-ass wanna-be hipper-hopper using kewl hand signals and saying illegible shit like "Dat beyotch be absolutely seeick?"
How about "A good 1080i broadcast looks absolutely !=."
Go get yourself some bling and get the fuck out of here.
Wow, I am REALLY slow on the draw. It's been near 25 years since I first read that and today is the first time I ever even 'did the math in my head' and realized that 6x9 != 42. (It's 54 for other slow thinkers...:) )
I've noticed more problems with Hibernate choking on machines with large amounts of RAM. Since Windows has to write the entire contents of RAM to the disk when getting ready to hibernate, I'm curious if it's maybe it's needing a continuous 2GB (non-fragmented) section of disk to write to?
Still, that doesn't make sense, as the c:\hyberfil.sys file is pre-created when Hibernation is enabled the first time, so it shouldn't end up fragmented at all.
Not really sure, but have definitely seen the issue more often on my 2gig machines than on the ones with 512MB or 1GB.
I've got all my workstations set to Hibernate rather than use Sleep mode. That way you can tell the machine to hibernate, it stores the current state of everything (Apps, Docs opened within the Apps, etc.) to the hard drive, then turns COMPLETELY off. No power drain while it's hybernating. The restart, while not instantaneous, is just a few seconds (Longest part is the BIOS POST). Bamn, everything's up and ready to fly in usually less than 30 seconds. And all the power is saved during the night.
Last year, I didn't take care of the small patch of 'lawn' (about 2 feet by 16 feet) between my garage and the alley.
I then received a letter that a nice public servant had indeed mowed it for me! So they will indeed do things like that for you. I was very happy with the government at this time.
Then I read further and realized that they had attached a bill for $75 for doing so. $2.34 per square foot. Bastards.

Sure am glad now that I use PostgreSQL instead of that toy db MySQL. MySQL double-sucks in my book now.

Your brain rings hollow. So does your soul. You make me sick.
Yah, it's the District of Columbia, dumbass...
"Advanced stone tools" - isn't that right up there with 'huge midgets'?
Way too few pixels. Laptop I'm typing this on has 1620 x 1200. Maybe the Acer is good for people who don't have 20/10 vision like I have.
Still, I was hoping for some monster resolution like 2560x1600. I'm not interested.
