You, sir, have watched Goldfinger one too many times... A single errant shot is not near big enough to depressurize a cabin. See here or here or here or... you get the point.
Thanks for playing, try again.
actually, after trying XPSP2RC1 (for one day) and realizing just how much work still needed to be done before it was ready for production, i uninstalled it... my system went from "as stable as MS gets" to having the agp440.sys service perpetually hang on startup... gee... thanks...
I used to think I knew everything about computers, and then I got a job working with them... Now I realize that the smartest computer people are the ones that realize they don't know dick.
just think about one of those evil wardriving pedophiles the newspapers seem so fond of. if one of those bastards sits in the parking lot with a packet sniffer all hell may break loose.
If your whole idea is about turning a profit, build a proprietary front-end to the popular file-sharing networks (giFT, gnutella, edonkey, etc.). Get in the sack with the record companies and (after enough BJs) license tracks from them, then limit your search results to only those tracks which you have the license to resell. The already established p2p networks handle the brunt of your traffic (no worrying about bandwidth/storage) and...
oh, wait...
Speaking as an artist: Full time jobs cut into your ability to create good art. It's not an ideal situation. Two words I hate; 'fair' and 'ideal'... Life is neither, get over it. Who REALLY works in an 'ideal situation'? I sure as hell don't. That's why it's called work. 'Ideally' I'd be drinking mojitos on a beach somewhere in the Carribbean - even though that's my 'ideal situation' it doesn't justify lying to the general public, fixing prices, buying off polititians and extorting my customers. There's already a word for that.... bullshit.
...and I'm 'speaking as an artist' as well, champ.
...then there's 'Cookin with Google' which uses Google's API to give you recipies based on ingredents you choose. (it's slick). there's also Top Secret Recipies where you can learn about DIY versions of all your favorite trademarked foodstuffs (like Twinkie(R) filling and Oreos)
A LOT of Rockstar titles use the same engine, or at least bits and pieces... Two off the top of my head are State of Emergency (run around like a gimp and kill people) and Midnight Club/MC2 (gee, driving around Los Angeles looks a lot like drivig around Vice City) - But that doesnt seem to make any of those games any less successful. Rockstar has just found a formula that works and instead of reinventing the wheel every time, the recycle the same engine and focus on the other details that make their games so strangely addicting. I'm going to hold any sort of speculation on the quality of this game until I actually play it, thank-you-very-much.
For home users, nothing beats community support. All of us here should know that already, and we should be passing this knowledge (along with links to good forums and lists) to those who don't know
I have a presonal relationship with my Tech Support guy... His name is Mr. Google. He answers all my questions really well, and my friend's questions too! Plus, he does it all without complaining... Seriously, why outsource your help desk people to India when Mr. Google works for free?
ive been tring to call that all day but I cant seem to find the "treble" or "yeah" keys on the handset... maybe those in the Ask Slashdot crowd can help?
back in my skateboarding days, there was one retailer, "the Church Of Skatan" that had the phone number of either 999-7734 or 666-7734... anyways I remember thinking that that was really witty... well... because I was about ten ("666-HELL" righteous!!!)

or spend $12/year to register a domain through 1and1.com...
Actually... My ISP is Yahoo!... So unless I've been living a lie for the past year and a half, uh, how is Yahoo NOT an ISP?
Thank you, try again...
Yeah, and the day I take a recomendation from Microsoft will be the day... well, actually, uhm... never.
Wow, and I though SBC was cool for butting heads with the RIAA...
Complain about "spywear" ...
Like a 007 wristwatch?

Hell, not even Google knows that...
We just can't win, can we?
Not with a partisan government or an electoral college...

Two words I hate; 'fair' and 'ideal'... Life is neither, get over it. Who REALLY works in an 'ideal situation'? I sure as hell don't. That's why it's called work.
'Ideally' I'd be drinking mojitos on a beach somewhere in the Carribbean - even though that's my 'ideal situation' it doesn't justify lying to the general public, fixing prices, buying off polititians and extorting my customers. There's already a word for that.... bullshit.

...can I get it to run on Linux?
*happy 4/1*
Funny - Definately.

it'd be funny in an earthquake... "look, the giant genitals are slamming together, we're fucked!"

That was great... Stallman's initial responce and follow up are quite humorous given the current climate of the 'net.
