Why are you surfing to random sites on your sever? I only go to OEM sites to download drivers/updates on my servers. They never see any other web pages.
Maybe because there are still a substantial number of us out there who prefer single player games. I like playing a game without having the experience degraded by grief players, or kids running cheats or aim-bots, etc, etc, etc. It's not my idea of fun to compete against others who have bought 'superior' items of ebay, yada yadda yada. Plus there's no worry about lag times or finding decent servers. I can play the game and get the player experience as it was actually intended.
Just because it's all about Multiplayer these days 'for you' doesn't mean the rest of us feel the same.
Hey, I've got the same experience running Linux in VMWare on top of win2000.
Wow VMWare must make OS's really stable. Gee whiz!
Or, do you think (just throwing this out there) that maybe since VMWare emulates really really basic low end hardware, that maybe the drivers under the OS's might be more stable and therefore the OS's run better? Nah. VMware is magic!
Well, don't be pleased then. You also don't have to give out an email address. Stop being paranoid.

Telephone registration using a toll-free number -- 1-888-382-1222 -- is available in states west of the Mississippi River, including Minnesota and Louisiana. Nationwide registration should be available about 10 days later. Consumers must call from the home or cell phone they want to register.
No email address needed. Geez, they just want to make sure folks know they were registerd. Now please go back to your hobbie of looking for the black helicoptors.
Actually, for those idiots who are upset about needing to submit your email address, you don't.
Read up on the friggin thing.
If you wait 10 days (or you can already do it now, for those west of the Mississippi) you can just call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want on the list, and you'll be put on the list. No email required.
Stop being so freaking paranoid, they only want the email address so they can let you know that you were put on the list. If they get a call from the actual phone, they'll assume it's by the owner of the phone.
I think if they were going to replace windows with something opensource, they would use OpenBSD. Something a little more secure than linux. Who wants their tank root-kit'ed
First off, after all the use by Republicans of 'slick willie', I feel I'm more than justified in using shrub in reference to bush. How many 20 year old kids died because monica gave Clinton a blow job? I think lying to American citizans about weapons of mass descruction as an excuse to go to war and make your oil buddies rich is a much more serious crime.
"Nineteen U.S. troops have been killed in hostile action since President Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq on May 1, according to the Pentagon. Another 37 have died in what are described as nonhostile incidents."
That's over one soldier dead a day since the "end of the war". Describe 'nonhostile' however you will, dead is dead. Iraq is a bit more dangerous of a place than the U.S.
Sorry, I can't find a link that gives evidence that he wasn't lying
How about all the reports coming out about how all those reports about weapons were from sources the CIA thought were unreliable. How about the paperwork on Iraq buying plutonium that the U.N. figured out were forgeries in an afternoon? Like the CIA with their massive resources couldn't have figured that out if they (or bush) had wanted to know.
They won't insist their code remain in Linux, only that you have to pay them if you want to use a copy that does contain their code.
They aren't licensing Linux to you, but they are licensing THEIR CODE, which is in it (at least at the moment. They are only selling you the right to use the code which is theirs. Other are free to donate or charge for their individual contributions to Linux as they see fit. SCO won't be licensing that, only the right to use SCO's code. So no one else can sue them, class action or not. They are only licensing the code taht is their own
Perhaps you don't understand. They don't have to distribute Linux at all. All they have to do is sell Licenses to current(and future) linux users, allowing them to use the system legally.
"Want to use linux legally? Send in $25/copy and we'll send you licenses in the mail. You will then legally be allowed to use that many copies of linux using the SCO code"
No distributing the OS, just send out licenses. Much less overhead. It's a beautiful plan if you think about it. Most large companies will just put in orders for a number of licenses, and won't think twice about it.
That's a brilliant thing to base your vote on. Pissing off the french and germans.
Just ignore the little things, like our economy which shrub has put in the dumpster, or the 19-year old kids dying in the desert (more than one a day since shrub declared we "won" the war), or the lying about the quality of the intelligence of the threat of weapons of mass distruction this while mess was based on.
Please leave the voting to folks who actually CARE about our country.
The UK government will never handle spammers properly though. There is no capital punishment there.

You might think the same thing about the blues, but most folks would point to Kenny Wayne Shepherd and say yes, they can.
Being a crufty old man myself, I think we can be better than most kids at a lot of things they don't think we can, but on either side of the equation, there are always going to be exceptional people.

So they can see any stuff that has fallen off better and so they have a place to stay when bad stuff happens.
I was not aware the Hubble Space Telescope had any lodging facilities for humans built aboard it. That's some telescope facility.
That's all well and good if you are contracting out a job to a Union firm, but if you have Union employees working for you, the union makes it very tough to furlough the bad ones.
They also tend to always promote those with seniority rather than those who do good work. Generally unions are great for folks who don't like to work hard, but an eager capatalist worker gets the shaft. Unions are a great thing when the company is trying to shaft you, but all too often they cause more problems for the company and the employees than they solve.
Please mod the parent 'troll'. If you'd like to try it, hit your local Gateway store. I was impressed with how well it worked with my sloppy handwriting, and that is without the training which improves it's recognition.
They say that so their low cost support staff has less pages in their folder to flip through to read off instructions. They say it's a requirement so they don't have to train their staff how to handle config problems in every browser under the sun. It's not really 'required', but it is what is supported.
Other browsers work, they just don't want the added expense in having their 1st tier folder jockeys have to know how to work others as well.
It's not a terrible slam to their support, it's just one of the methods they use to keep support costs down so they can continue to sell you hardware cheaper than a lot of other vendors.
With all due respect to your back of the envelope calculations, they aren't based on acutal accelleration or direction of the shuttle's flight path. The shuttle was known to be well in excess of 50,000 feet at the time of the foam impact. It's still not exactly vaccuum, but it's certainly one heck of a lot thinner than sea level.
But,...
By the time the Shuttle has reached ~1000 MPH speed, it's pretty high up. The air there should be much thinner and not accelerate the foam nearly as much as the '1000 MPH' wind you might initially visualize.
Should that much thinner air bea able to decelerate it that fast? That's only about a 50' distance we are talking about from where it broke off to where it impacted. That's not much time for decelleration of 500 MPH in very very thin air.
Sorry, but HIPAA regulations are specific to agencies who obtain your medical records data. I'm under HIPAA guidelines at work. I cannot give your medical records I obtain at work to anyone else because of the classification of my workplace. However, if an individual off the street comes in and gives me medical information about you, I am allowed to record it, because the man off the street is not regulated under HIPAA guidelines.

That's the beauty of Linux for the very few people who are capable of writing that level of software and the free time to do it.
Until one of those rare few put out the software, 99.99% of users are just going to have a very expensive underpowered Linux 'laptop'.
