there was nothing wrong with the concept of increasing home ownership. however like anything the government has there hands in corruption eventually takes over.when they started handing out loans to people they knew dam well couldn't pay them off and short selling them for a quick profit thats when it all went to hell. rather then being transparent and offering lower interest loan the people with limited money could afford. and not keep handing to one very corrupt company that got a government bailout mind you.
personalty cut it all off and start over. as they said they are not anti government but when you got mass corruption and to much in the governments hands its time to cut those people out of power. but unfortunately its going to take the economy to totally crash before people lose faith in are current governments no matter what side you play. but will it be with votes or arms to take these fat cats out is to be seen.
the filer of the dc was lack of a dvd drive at that time when ps2 launched dc sales pretty much halted. pre ps2 the dc was selling like mad. if they whent for dvd at that time they would have kept in the game in terms of sales. and it was make or brake for sega with that system due to there last failer.wile the dremcast was not a commercial failer it was a encomic one for sega. sega just didn't have the money to be number 2 in the market. and i love people blame piracy when that hack wile known was never released to the public until the dc was dead. so even the pirates gave sega all the room to survive.
if the hope is to keep the mars guy alive for the rest of there lives. we would need to send ships to drop supply's alot. in a large scale it would be bad for earth it doesn't make more water but constantly recycles it. yes we have lots but if we started sending it off in mass it would become a problem later on.
i guess you forget all the bar band who work for very little if anything. just to get there music out there. yes they hope someone likes them and picks them up but most simply stay bar bands or garage bands or brake up. and all that money they spent on eq well its simply a loss. every singer dreams of getting big but most knoe its simply a dream.

i disagree. your rappers get into music for the money. most of them anyways. theirs a few that where so outside the box they didn't care icp marshal manders heck even vallna ice. i say that being even when ice fell out of being popular he kept making music. im sure theirs other artiest that dont care but most of them simply are in it for the money at least in the hip hop scene. now most of your indy rock bands composers etc dont care if they ever get ritch.

agreed. every time they go after a protocol a new monster takes it place. killed Napster and genutella took its place. infect gntutella with garbage bittorrent replaced it. try the same to bittorrent and now 90% of your turrets are encrypted. and theirs even super encrypted genutella style clients still in very early testing. lets not forget all those privet only sites and even old school irc and ftp. and sites like rapidshare. point is killing Napster spawned all this i can only imagion what people will come up with with limewires death even tho it was only a genutella client and theirs like 50 of those.
why is this on Slashdot. laptops have been cooking are nuts sense 1982. and if overheating are nuts had any real effect we would have a entire generation of infertile men by now. but nope a genration where teens are having more kids then ever. and rampant ignorance.
google tv and apple tv are not going to be long lived devices anyways. tv makers are adding such ability as part of the tv. not to mention geeks have been doing this for years with media center pcs connected to there tv. without the worry of google hulu etc all fighting over who gets what. but it is yet another reason net nurtruly has to happon.
i mean that. if a jury was made of people with a iq grater then 20 stupid cases like this would never survive in court. back when race would be a deciding factor for some judges the jury would nullify the decision. imagine if smart jury's star using the sprite of the law again and not whats on paper or what the judge tells them to do.and starts saying no the ammount are stupid we find them not guilty based on that.
well that depends on you view of guns. guns can and do save lives. but they also can be abused or misused to take lives. if you shoot a armed robber in the legs you saved your own life and possibly his. when your headshotting people for no dammed reason its a different matter. the whole argument people have guns are both correct. but i believe in everyone armed vs only criminals and corrupt public enforcers. and being we don't live in a everyone armed nation texes being the exception its why we have the crime issues we have.
well part of what killed limewire was the fact they tried to sell pro versions. lets not forget how loaded with spy-where it is loaded with. they where in it for the money it was pretty dammed clear. and being the client is genutella i dought shutting it down is gonna do anything. we still have frostwire and im sure someone else is gonna use the gpl code and make another one.
long gone are the days of us gamers pitching are controllers in anger being we cant pass a certen part of a game after trying half the day. and games that took weeks to beat. even tho i did hear halo reach is dammed hard in single player. i think nes to psx/n64 where the golden days of gaming. they made hard or very long games. now you see very few games that are like that gta being one of them where its full of single player content and very low multiplayer focus. even the final fantasy serise took a nosedive. 13 is a friggen interactive movie no towns or free roam witch every ff game sense nes had. . and 14 is a moo riddled with bugs and lacking content.
toco bell units are 486 dx systems. and they charge a arm and a lag for replacement parts. what there parts provider charges for a motherboard replacement toco bell can go buy new machines off store shelf's. in fact when i worked at toco bell me and the tec had a long chat bought how there provider was overcharging for parts. he said they where proptery and couldent get them elseware. so i pointed them to microatx towers that costed far less and where mutch more powerful then 486 machines. the store i used to work at closed due to it being in a dieing mall. and i think later the entire mall. but i have been in toco bells and notced they systems all have been replaced with modern touch screen interfaces. makes you wonder if they took what i said to hart and relised they where getting ripped off.
i say as long as you can replace the ssd part of the drive if it goes before the drive. i think people are a bit paranoid of the ssd write cycles. it should take 5 years of heavy use to fail one around the same for a hardrive really.
sounds like the mac book air is something i wouldn't touch. then again they killed it for me on the very first model where you couldn't change a dead battery. auases tried this with there seashell eee models and there sales sunk. the new editions of the seashell can change the battery.theirs just certen things you don't block the user from replacing ram drives battery. heck if anything laptop makers are making there systems even more user modifiable ausus gaming systems can even swap out the video card.
yea i never saw the point in blueray. the only reason its even a format was due to ps3. if they tried it as a stand alone launch like hd-dvd well you know what happend. and your point on old tv is true as well. the whole hdtv push was a sad attempt to sell tvs. it didn't work im probably the only guy on the block with a hdtv.and its not hdmi so im screwed anyways when it comes to blueray. the rest of the tvs are all standard with either cable or dtv converters. heck even the rest of the tvs in my house are standards.i think the entire usa took a if its not broken don't fix it stand when it comes to there old tvs. 5-10 years would be abought right but by then im sure some new format and something ray will be trying to replaces blueray being just as pointless as them trying to kill dvd.
well you get what you pay for. if you go wit some off brand ssd to save some cash and intel ssd do suck. now if you go with a segate they warranty there storage for 5 years and normally it last much longer then that.
not even there size or wight that gives netbooks the push for the classroom its there battery life. 3 hrs old models 6+ new ones. even tho i am sure most collage classrooms are eqd with enough power sources for notebooks. then you factor in small and light heh. not to mention the ion line even offer up some gaming ability.
i always liked mazda cars. they seem to have a car for everyone unlike gm who makes cars based on fads. as for the 70mpg mazda-2 as long as they make it cheaper then your hybred they got something. as for the light wight low drage it also can be done on hybred cars. in fact they got a hybred for sale in cali that gets 300mpg for around 35k. it uses light batterys and a light body with low drage. and a simple electric motor with a generator strapped to it.. but lets face facts if the big 3 all of a sudden made 150mpg+ hybreds it would trash the oil profits.
heh i did that as a kid myself. my mom unfortunately a drug addict. passed out behind the wheel. i had to be only like 5 at the time. fortunately my dad thought me the controls of a car even at that age and i managed to get to the brakes and stop the car.
yea i herd of such story's. i had a smiler experience of a car that crashed in front of my shop and took out 2 of my cars. i owned a car sales shop. the poor man had a hart attack his car rolled into oncoming traffic and hit his car. his car then rolled into my cars finnly stopping it. i called 911 and managed to get his car door open it was pretty damaged. of course i knew not to move him. but he was so messed up he kept trying to keep driving he wasn't even aware his car was destroyed. 911 arrived by then and i left it to them.i later found out the man died from his hart issues. yes i could have sued the family for the damages to my 2 cars but i never did i just wrote em off. the man dieing and all i figured hey where having it bad enough.

buy a segate they stand behind there storage. 5 year warranty even on ssd,
i say as long as you can replace the ssd part of the drive if it goes before the drive. i think people are a bit paranoid of the ssd write cycles. it should take 5 years of heavy use to fail one around the same for a hardrive really.
if you own a good pile of games you will eat threw 250gb like its not there. conserding modern games are eating up 10-20gb a install.
