Despite what your playing Doom might convince you, even us Marines wouldn't do anything as gung ho stupid as expect to control a shotgun spread in an enclosed room, garanteed to have more innocents than hostiles.
Ummm...Americans owe the french, France was around for centuries and failed to have an army that could keep them from being marched over. But we owe them thanks because they helped us when our country was less than a century old? I think the U.S. developed in ways that France will never understand. Owe, and maybe we owe them for that French and Indian war, where they were enemies, or maybe we owe them, for selling jets to Iraq after we embargoed them. Maybe we owe france for getting marched over quicker than Poland. I know, we love the french because of their fine wine and cheese, I hate to say this, but wisconsin has better of both, and you don't have to walk through raw sewage in the streets to get to it.
We don't owe the French shit, without us, they'd all be speaking German right now.
And without them, we would all be speaking English, with high taxes, from a parlamentary government. Hmmmm....That sounds like, nah
I saw some guy flamed you because you said, you're instead of your. I get that a lot here, it seems tech guys that don't have anything intelligent to say, just post anonymously and bitch about grammar.
that aside, the governments databases are all very much alike. You see, because a major automotive corporation, isn't really all that major. Grain is more responsible for our GDP than auto sales.
The FBI database, is widely used by other Government organizations, and many of the other databases were modeled after the FBI database, which was modeled after the NSA database. Even if the keys aren't all exactly the same, I bet they are still a thousand times less dynamic then categorizing webpages.
There going after the money. Joe Clueless has nothing to worry, their not simply following an IP back trail, they are literally going to sue the companies that pay for the spam. Which is easy enough, simply click the link in the spam, whatever it has you going to buy, you bring the lawsuit against that company.
you can move the spamservers to korea, but the money is still coming back here, and Microsoft will sniff out the money, they have an excellent legal team.
actually in 9-11 they had warnings about the terrorists nearly a month before hand. I don't think the search was the bottle neck there.
Personally I think we need a little less security. A strip club just got raided for liquor license information recently in my town. Cops in swat uniforms busted in with loaded shotguns throwing everyone on the floor.
I hate to say this, but I don't trust a police officer with a loaded weapon in his holster, let alone them wildly waving around shotguns in a club. Why the hell would you bring in shotgunS? so you can shot the guy your aiming at, and maim six innocenct bystanders?

I think your very wrong. Everything that goes into the government databases is designed by them, tables and queries, all designed by them, all the data is in the same form, and language. Now take google. searching sites made by everyone, with only meta tags as guides, which sometimes aren't there, and there is a constant influx of new data. Plus I would be willing to bet, with no doubt whatsoever, the internet is bigger than the government database.
This is probably just a bunch of govs sitting around going, well, we got this new budget, how are we going to spend it. And one guy said, I bet it would be really cool to have a 2.5 TB RAM
512MB, you say that like it's a lot, I currently run 3 GB of RAM and load my whole OS into RAM, it's quite fun, and really wasn't that expensive. Especially not if I was buying a few million pieces as apposed to three pieces
1. VHS vs Betamax vs V2000: VHS won, technically the worst of all three
2. WordPerfect vs WinWord vs AmiPro: WinWord won, technically the worst of all three competitors
3. Windows vs OS/2 vs MacOS?: Windows won, technically the worst (by faaaaaaaar, remember it was Windows 3.1 at the time!) of all three competitors.
I love how you just say things like technically the worst. How was WinWord TECHNICALLY the worst,also Windows wasn't competing with MacOS you dolt, Mac wouldn't sell it's OS, they were in different markets, one company selling computers one company selling software.
VHS vs. Betamax, had a lot to do (in 1976) to VHS having a 2 hour recording time vs. the betamax recording time of one hour, plus a year later you could get 4 hours of data on a VHS tape. Considering that meant movies couldn't fit on one Betamax, VHS had a huge advantage there. Plus the visual quality between the two, didn't mean shit to the people at home who couldn't afford a TV that would show the quality difference anyhow.
Are you on crack? You do realize that solid state memory, that can hold data when not plugged into a power source, is not the same as RAM?
DVDs are far cheaper than solid state, look at the cost of a 128 meg media card for your digital camera.
Also read times are getting faster,and really, since you mentioned RAM, what a games system should do, is just load up the whole game into RAM when you put the DVD in, except of course, the cut scenes that can play right off the media without slowing the game down much.
All very highly scientific. Do you know who owned WordPerfect? Might want to look into that, they didn't used to be a small company, untill Microsoft destroyed them.
Personally the XBox in comparison to PS2 is much better, the graphics are better, it loads quicker, and XBox live is great. PS2 has more games, but that is to be expected, Microsoft is still learning to make console games. I don't think PS3 will be such a big hit as they say.
also I think that an OS and apps are part of the same market. For instance, the way, TVs and VCRs/DVD players are part of the same market. I can buy a TV with an integrated DVD player, or VCR and no one whines. This is just something to bitch about, it doesn't actually affect us the way it is. I use winamp, no problems.
Windows Component Wizard, under add remove programs, in the control panel. Unclick, Internet Explorer, and it says this option adds/removes internet explorer. Then click OK.
considering this thread is about WMP not IE, maybe you should have read the article. Then my analogy of the stereo is valid. Thanks for posting, but try to read the article next time.
OK then simply use password authentication on outgoing mail. Not complicated.
Ummm...this was not a permanent solution it was a request so that she could turn her computer on and use it for school stuff till I had a chance to arrive, without her getting booted for the second time and losing her service. WHich mind you is the only service in the area. Probably because of a buy out of the local ISPs
DIMM? Wouldn't I want to go with DDR, or SDRAM, but let me give you the run down.

This was the shittiest hardware I could find, computer might not even work. XBox is actually a lot of hardware for the money. It's amazing.
Your talking without fact. I uninstalled WMP a long time ago and have seen no problems. Except for from a program that used WMP API. But that was a third party program and not Microsofts fault.
Oh, and yes, if you uninstall the radio in some pontiacs, your power antenna stops working, and in some other occassions your security system will never be the same. Also, ever seen the proprietary plugs GM uses, so that if you want to get a different head unit all you know is you have a plug with 14 wires and none of them are labeled.
I know jerk, I think most people are well aware I was talking about a Distro. And I said WMP, not media players, meaning, Linux isn't forced to bundle microsoft products, or Real player, or Quick Time, why Should Windows have to
YOUR DUMB. THey don't have to include WMP in a Windows Build, they do it because otherwise their customers would bitch why they couldn't play their CD out of the box. I have builds here at work that don't have WMP, games, or IE on them, and it wasn't hard, just unlcick the boxes.
These things are added for convenience, not to be evil. You do want seats in your car when you buy it right? Even though their are people that make different seats than what would come stock. I would be pissed if I couldn't drive my car for the first week because my new tires and seats were on order from other companies, and my manufacturer failed to provide me with stock ones.
I have a RIO CALI MP3 player. It came pre-installed with software for me to use it. I don't think I can change the OS that back planes this software, nor change the player it uses. Should I sue RIO, should I say, I don't have the option to install a different software package, it should give me that option. NO I SHOULDN'T. It gives me software to run the hardware I was sold. It works, and I enjoy it.
Dell and Microsoft go a step better, it comes with an OS, but if you don't like it, you can always format your drive and put another one on there.
why does Microsoft have to remove WMP? Wouldn't we all bitch if we had an OS that couldn't play MP3s out of the box? Or the most basic movies?
Why should I have to download a different player on my modem connection? If you don't want the WMP, choose custom setup during install and unselect it on the install list. Easy as pie.
Also I remember that the biggest argument for Linux for a while, was that, you got an OS that could do everything out of the box, it came with good photo editing software, media players, programs to code with, programs for compiling, and star office. SO why are we hating Microsoft for listening to us and trying to offer more with their OS?
Forcing Microsoft to include competitors producs isn't a level playing field. If you buy a GM car you get a GM transmission. You can change it if you like, but if it does the job and you have no complaints, then you don't. No one forces GM to use other peoples products in their vehicles.
And Microsoft hasn't made any attempts to eliminate other players. real player installs fine, quick time installs fine, BS player works on windows, so does "The Playa". So what are all of you complaining about, if windows made those players not work it would be one thing, but not advertising for a different company shouldn't be a crime.
Really, who did Microsoft aquire to get WMP? Who did Microsoft aquire to get Windows XP. How about Microsoft Word. Do you really want to talk about imitation, when star office looks very similar to something else.
Microsoft is trying to make a usable excellent piece of software. Internet Explorer works great, and no one is charging me to use it. It's quick, and reliable, and has many nice built in features I don't need other browsers, and it would be nice not to have to add in code to support old netscape versions anymore.

So, think, before speaking.
On what planet was their cartridges cheaper than injection molded, then stamped, CDs? Coming out at roughly 42cents a pop at the time.
DVDs are far cheaper than solid state, look at the cost of a 128 meg media card for your digital camera.
Also read times are getting faster,and really, since you mentioned RAM, what a games system should do, is just load up the whole game into RAM when you put the DVD in, except of course, the cut scenes that can play right off the media without slowing the game down much.
