Important message from Belkin:
Belkin is aware of some recent postings that claim that Belkin wireless routers are spamming users during the setup process and periodically thereafter. It is not now, nor has it ever been, the policy of Belkin to intentionally spam our customers or anyone else. Belkin offers a free trial of our parental control feature in our routers, and to make our customers aware of the feature itself and to give them the opportunity to take advantage of the free trial, we have tried to direct users to the information regarding the parental control features. However, since this has become a source of concern to our users, and it is Belkin policy to address the concerns of our users quickly, Belkin has decided to remove this function from the routers. Each router's firmware that incorporates parental control as an option will be changed.
Please expect more detailed information to follow early next week. Thank you.
I'll spring to his defense, since it is clearly made up. How easily riled the proletarians get when they hear about the good life, even when it is clearly a honey pot like this post was. Look me in the eye and tell me you don't want to be sitting in your own library knocking back some likkors when your wife calls you to dinner. He could have taken this one half step farther and described his fine azz Courvoisier snifter and the thong his maid was wearing, but the author seemed to feel that people would see past his obvious troll. Too bad you were caught in the net - why not think for two seconds before falling into autorant mode you idiot.
Bout a year ago on an older Compaq handheld.
Advantages: fun fun to download and install them for some perverse reason (prolly the newness of the thing to me), a lot easier to read in bed - could turn the lights off and my wife wouldn't wake up. Also kewl to have several books that fit into my pocket at the same time for beach trips, etc.
Disadvantages - little pricey given the fact that Im not asking them to print, bind, use ink and paper etc - how bout passing on the savings to the customer? $5.00 or so if memory serves - I'm not a cheapskate, but why not drop the price a bit? Might bring some more people over.
The titles - I grabbed some freebies - Dracula, Dickens, etc. I quickly realized that Dickens was fine when I had to read him in school - now that I don't have to, he's boring. Dracula sucked badly. the titles that I did wanna read of course didn't have a digital format as of yet.
My verdict is that they will gain widespread usage - just in another couple of years:)
Really, so what do they do, magically wish that their power bill gets paid every month? What kind of ridiculous statement is that? If you were sitting in front of me for your job interview tomorrow, I'd laugh you out of my office for being such a moron. Back up that laughable statement above with a shred of evidence - oh wait, thats right, you can't because it makes no sense and you're spouting shit off of the top of your head.
Like as in sooper multi-megatronic infinity-and-beyond ne plus ultra hyped? Thank you for that reality check, although Reloaded is in the same neighborhood (at least the same city.)
Talk about letdowns, the was the most overhyped movie I ever saw - a shame, I really wanted it to be more than it turned out to be. Ah well - third time's a charm.
Telling someone they are wrong without saying why makes you look ummm stupid - lookie here:
Here is where Verio is bigger than Global -
here and 883 other google related articles which I won't subject all of./ to talks about when Clinton signed off on NTT buying them.
This occured already over three years ago with Verio being bought out by NTT, which is the major Japanese telecom. Clinton had to sign off of the deal, and Verio has a bigger backbone than Global Crossing. Anyone that is petrified about some offshore company handling US traffic is about three years too late in worrying.
This is true, however, some states have an effective fear factor built in. In Pennsylvania, where I grew up, you go to the State Police Barracks to do your tests. A Bear gives your eye exam, a Bear administrates the written, and they have a State Trooper sitting in the car with you for your driving test. Not some bald guy with big glasses and bad breath - ol' Smokey is with you, hat, gun and all. PA drivers are no better than anywhere else, but I sure got a "I don't wanna screw this up" feeling.
As one who resides in South Florida now but will always live in Philadelphia, I can tell you that any help to the public school system there is fine by me. There is certainly a seperation of the have and have nots there - any exposure to technology can only help the kids with opportunities. They can learn about Linux later:)
I've known three people very well in my life who have each hit the lottery for over 5 Mil US, each. All three people I knew before they all hit. As for glomming off your family's insurance, why you don't get a job and support yourself instead of taxing your parents' resources?
I work at a large web hosting company. We got a lot of bright people working for us that most of soceity would see as introverted. We got people locked away in secure rooms for most of their shift, etc - the human part is what makes working there a good thing. We are a very social company in the hallways, meeting areas, etc. Most people (including myself) say that they have very good friends at work, but few outside its walls. To a varying degree, we are a big 400 person family where I work - I think people (ok, myself) need to have the human interaction in order to maintain themselves. Technology roxxors, but there needs to be people to talk to, even if it is anime or what level your 3rd edition Ranger is.
I noticed you didn't discuss your lower education system (wow a two-fer on that), your financial crisis that the rest of the states need to bail you out of, the pollution, or your crime. Yeah - great place.
Slashdot Mirror
Hehehe - that was actually funny.
If you don't get the reference, then you don't watch the show. If you don't watch the show, why the hell are you posting on this thread?

ROFL - love it, good game yesterday. Just swallowed down a scrapple sandwich too.

Maybe he's French. Or, maybe he is stupid. I'm guessing the latter.

How is someone advocating someone's death modded up as interesting? I'm not sure who is more disturbed in this case.
Hate to agree with an AC, but his last sentence does sound like a whiny, selfish 3 year old. Why was that last sentence necessary?

I for one welcome our new monitored chatroom overlords! (no overlords were harmed in the making of this post)
I get that a lot :)

Seriously, don't. Tubgirl makes Mr. Goatse look like wholesome family entertainment.

I'll make sure to never get any services through you - how's that?
I am not short, nor am I dead. In truth, I confess to this outage.
Smashing it aganist a curb a few times works well too.
