People finders was a bit spooky. It was able to list most of the places in the US I lived, and my immediate relatives, living and dead. Good news, is that nothing in there on my 20 year old son.
The amusing thing is that the database also includes 29 entries for I P Freely.
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big flat screen monitor, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and macro running wireless keyboards. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that chair playing mind-numbing, spirit-crushing MMO games, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Puente doesn't even have a computer at home. That would mean spending close to $1,000, plus an additional $15 to $20 a month for Internet service......
1. You can get a computer for ~$500. 2. I have internet for $7 a month (going up to $10 after the first year). 3. Aside from software required for school or work, I haven't bought any software in years. There are too many good free/OSS solutions out there!
I think the perception of cost and problems is what keeps many away. Sure, you can get good deal, because you know they are available. And you can manage your machine without too much hassle. The average non-internet person, on the other hand, knows that their neighbor paid $1000 for their machine, and that they have all kinds of problems with it. They don't need that kind of hassle.
Sorry for the "cheapo" moniker Bruce. My family and I all love your theater. I was a theater manager back around 1981 for the Dubinsky Bros, so I really can appreciate what you have done. Thanks!
I forgot to add that he doesn't show comercials either. You might get 1 or 2 previews of coming attractions, and then the movie starts. Also, if there is a decent turnout for the show, he comes into the theater and personally thanks the crowd for coming, and then gives away 4 or 5 free large popcorns by drawing ticket stub numbers.
Strangely enough, our town's cheapo theater has turned out to be the most successfull theater by screen in Iowa. The guy that owns it charges $3-$4 a ticket for 2nd run and art house flicks. His concession prices are the best, and he uses real butter on the popcorn. And for the digital aspect, he has a high end DLP for each screen that he uses for powerpoints to show limited ads and informitive bits before the show. A cool thing he did this year was show the superbowl in HD on one of the screens. People that went to it said it was fantastic. He also uses it to show amature movies for the annual film festival. http://www.collinsroadtheaters.com/ http://crifilms.com/

Good job Emilio! I decided to try Worldwind as well, and your discoveries stick out like a sore thumb using Nasa's program. Yes, Google Earth scrolls faster, but I think Worldwind is better for seeing the detail.
I have never updated Swat4 to 1.1 due to their patch adding in game advertising. http://www.massiveincorporated.com/ "SWAT4 fans have been on the offensive, following news that the new 1.1 patch contains a feature adding advertising to the game and collecting players' data, including IP address and how long they play for. The new patch implements Massive streaming ad support, which changes some of the in-game textures to adverts for real products. It also gathers information about players, detailed in their privacy policy."
I can't make myself get rid of my Pro Logic receiver and get a 5.1 DTS one. It sounds fine to me when watching movies, but I am far from an audiophile. I have 2 25 year old Pioneer S710s for front speakers, Some center channel speaker I can't remember the brand of, and a pair of Optimus Pro X77's for surrounds. Does ok for me, and I am afraid that if I got a DTS receiver, the speakers wouldn't work well. Also, with a 5.1, do you really need a sub, or will it work ok if your fronts are old style biggies with massive woofers?
Like the Truth.com commercial about tobacco companies. "A tobacco company once gave $125,000 worth of food to a charity, according to an estimate by The Wall Street Journal. Then they spent well over $21 million telling people about it. I guess, when you sell a deadly, addictive product, you need all the good PR you can get."
I am not so sure I trust Google anymore. I would think they would have no problems censoring based on government request. You'll be able to see old edison reels about the dog/sausage transmogrifier, but I bet selective quasi-current things, say Vietnam and newer, will be selectively censored.
I don't know if it takes a special port for update notification, but here on my computer at work, it has never notified me. I just checked and it was configured for notification.

My ethnicity/country of origin and any other fun to change info varies with every census return. I don't think I ever did one straight.

If you look on the TV in the store window just after Bleeding Gums and before Wiggumn you'll see a Krusty-esque clown.
I bet Michael Dell sells a lot of computers to Indian Call centers. Or more likely, ships a lot of computers to "his" call centers.

Dolemite sez.. Digg! Web 2.0!
Am I just paranoid? Why would I enter my IM account info to a beta web site I know nothing about, like meebo.com?

Yes you are.. I thought maybe it had something to do with the University of Arkansas.

And the resaon they will buy a new computer is because their current 3ghz dell is so spyware infested, it runs like a 286.
Getting linux to run the popular MMORPG's that Koreans play is probably the best way to get them to use linux.
GoldenPalace.com can get people to do weird things to their body. All it takes is a bit of money.
Nice site.. it tried to install all sorts of nastyness. Kind of a case of the put calling the kettle black isn't it?
[i] ...how on earth do you disable/kill these things?
Static electricity? What?!?[/i]
Exactly! My hope is that with the smaller size, they would be easier to fry with an overload of incoming RF.
