what's to say that even if other people write something about the topic that it's right? Plenty of poorly researched ideas move through circles and even end up in other's research.
Most people twist previous research to fit what they are trying to say anyway (that's the nature of it). AFAIAC it's all bullshit anyway.
Unless they are showing HARD evidence (which in recent months they have been making up as well) and others have reproduced the same results, it's all about money/greed/profit.
Yes.
1. Research 2. Make up shit. 3. Lie. 4. ??? 5. Profit.
Over the years I have gone through several CDRW's 4x RICOH died and wouldn't write past the first track but would continue to read just fine, 32x Que! or something died in 3 months, and now I got a new 40x CDRW w/a new computer... The kernel reports that it is a 40x burner but the fastest it will burn is about 27x.
I am afraid to even attempt to buy a DVD burner for fear of it burning a single DVD and dying w/no chance of replacement:(
it's better than having a Beowulf Christmas Tree Computer Farm... I heard that's what Santa uses to keep track of all the high tech toys on his list these days.
Correct. It is just a thought... We are obviously willing to give up our freedoms b/c of that bearded fuck w/limp and a cammo jacket...
Someone else noted that the terrorists are the only ones that will stand up. While I feel what they said is dumb, I see their point.
We are all just standing idly by the water cooler having our morning chat as President Ripper closes down the base and prepares to launch an attack.
Only the dorks know that WiFi isn't a security threat, and only the dorks know that it's only b/c coporate America wants other wireless methods to open up and make money from...
We will never convince the REST of the sheep of this...
Thus, we are all morons under the power of President Ripper.
All round trip. All booked well in advance. Beard is neatly trimmed, hair is short and combed, prescription medicine is in my name, car stereo should have been questioned at the security entrance after going through the X-ray (not at the gate), I wear clean clothes, and nothing to suggest that I am a member of any small minority faction...
These trips were from SMALL airports to SMALL airports. Connecting flights were at large airports but generally at the large airports is where the 20% of skipping came in.
I have been searched at the airport EVERY single time I have flown.
I was just searched for explosives, stopped in the next line, questioned as to why I had prescription blood pressure medicine, and why I had a car stereo in my bag.
I don't know if it is the beard or what, but I should not be picked for the random searches over 80% of the times I board a plane.
the midshipmen themselves are the property of the government. The school can do as they wish.
Downloading of copyrighted material is usually against a school's TOS anyway. So if they were breaking that, and the school even owned PART of the computers, they had the right to confiscate them.
the majority of Linux/*BSD users are technically oriented.
the majority of people that MS really cares about marketing to are people that are home users and bullshit artists at businesses who don't care about anything...
So how the computer looks is important to people who don't really care how their computer works, just that it does and that it looks nice.
I think that storing everything on computers will make historians jobs MUCH less difficult but a lot less fun. Doing historical research is fun b/c you get to get your hands dirty (literally). I spent 6 hours a day for three weeks researching crime rates in Toledo, OH during prohibition (before, during, and after) and b/c the books were all handwritten and they were so old my hands turned black for days at a time... It would have been MUCH easier if all the information was sorted and easily found I guess it would make future historians jobs easier but what fun would that be?
and what makes you say that? You think that people who uncap their modem cfg files aren't breaking the law? They aren't stealing service?
Are you seriously saying that you don't care that someone else would be taking ALL the bandwith that you MIGHT possibly have? If someone is taking a 10mbit pipe and you are only supposed to have 1.5mbs there are 7 other people that are out of luck b/c of one person.
so one of them uncapped to 100/100. The bandwith of a T1 is 1.554mbs. The most a cable modem will probably get is 10/10. That's a DS3. That's more than $600/mo.
I guarantee when they come to the door they will confiscate my music collections w/o first realizing that they are all legal.
Are they going to come and want you to prove that the music you have downloaded is yours? That you don't have the time to rip it but that you actually have the CD (no matter how bad of shape it is in)?
Are they going to check and see if the SHNs I have are of live shows?
These people were doing something that is OBVIOUSLY illegal. EASILY determined. My MP3/SHN collections are not.

it's growing awareness. The news would barely report it. *IF* they did it was a small blurb by the weather man or some other meaningless non-sense.
Now we have news.google.com and www.slashdot.org to tell us every last thing that happens that is of importance to dorks...
does that book reading psycho judge game mods too? :)
we used to be able to freely have "open" networks running. Now they are offenses that are illegal b/c they harbor terrorists.
That's not freedom.
"Land of the free, just a thought."
Correct. It is just a thought... We are obviously willing to give up our freedoms b/c of that bearded fuck w/limp and a cammo jacket...

Toledo -> Pittsburgh -> Scranton
Minneapolis -> Philadelphia -> Scranton
Dayton -> Charolette -> Savannah
I'm a white male, mid-twenties, w/a beard.
I wouldn't exactly call it racial profiling...
It's true what you say. No one else is going to the extremes that we are.
We never did it before, we got owned, we beefed it up.
When someone wants to own Canada, you will see your liberties taken away as well.

I put a picture of two people taking from Action Pics on www.thehun.com.
Or better yet, goatsex?
What are they going to do then? I didn't link anywhere and someone else in kids.us could link to me...
Whiney wasn't smoking crack, she was just tall...
yes, tall also means stoned although she was obviously too baked to realize that...
Remember kids, Whitney says crack is crap!
As great as the KQ series was I really preferred Quest for Glory II.
There was nothing like going out and fighting forever until you were SO strong nothing was a match for you...
EGA games *always* need to be redone... They were our classics.
don't give that bitch any ideas, please...
that CHRONIC has a slightly different effect...
;)
It eats your brain but makes you fat all at the same time

My buddies and I call it "the crack machine".
It takes your money, you get to enjoy it for a few minutes, and you have to feed it again.

Not only that but we are now adding pictures of OTHER PEOPLE to Windows?
Explain to me why I would want to look at a picture of someone else using a camera?
An analog clock? I thought Windows was supposed to be easy to use! What are they thinking? (yes, that was a joke).
you mean in an age where we have CDROM and DVD-ROM and searchable indexes and I was using Microfilm and Fiche (like I do everday in my job)?
I work w/records are are 30+ years old. They are on Microfiche (sometimes really bad copies).
They will have the tools and they will know how to use them, believe me.
