What about Goblins, huh? Doesn't anybody believe in Goblins? You never hear about this. Except on Halloween and then it's all negative shit. And what about Zombies? You never hear from Zombies! That's the trouble with Zombies, they're unreliable! I say if you're going to go for the Angel bullshit you might as well go for the Zombie package as well.
Skipping the background story, is there any way to reset the trial period (with slmgr -rearm) after the original trial ran out? Running the command isn't the problem, but it seems to either do nothing (with a regular account) or crash with an error when running as admin. TIA.
I always thought that the hookers reacted unrealistically to being hit with a baseball bat. Hopefully they'll use this new tech in GTA IV so I can experience it as the real thing.
No, really. The bees are being captured by the government and kept in secret facilities where they are pollinating a secret genetically engineered type of plant, which causes them to become carriers of the smallpox virus and be more aggressive. The bees are then used to spread smallpox where needed, without causing an immediate biological warfare panic.
That's why the bees are disappearing from private bee farms.
>mccain's site? good grief. so a vote for mccain means you're doomed! what a dark and depressing thing that is.
I can't really say I like the overall design of that site, but at least the color scheme isn't the overused red, white, and blue! Full point for avoiding the cliche, although the bastards will probably "fix" this when we get closer to the elections.
Disregard that post, I should have previewed and read it again before submitting. It actually makes it sound like PHP is the OpenBSD of scripting languages, which is obviously the opposite of the desired effect.
Well, 3Dnews.ru is a serious russian tech news, review, and analysis site which keeps a nice archive of ATI/NVIDIA (and other) drivers dating back to the Detonator age so there shouldn't be any problems downloading there. But I agree with you on the general principle (not the day of Linux on desktop part) that the things you're expected to install as admin should be digitally signed, and preferably come from the manufacturer's site.
FYI, GTA:SA works just fine on my 4 year old PC. Of course, it depends on what 4+ actually stands for, but the game isn't very demanding. I've upgraded a little since then, but at that time I had a P4 2.6, 512MB of RAM, and 9600Pro.
Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? Accelerated window manager thingie, ok, OS-Eks had it before Vista. But the rest is just apple-fanboy bullshit. Non-admin accounts? I'm sure the first NT had that. Or do you mean running applications as admin from a regular user account? Windows 2000 had Run As. "shiny two-tone plastic highlights and translucencies." Again, WTF? At least you don't claim they stole the fugly brushed-metal style. Besides, Win2k had window translucency.
And the filesystem layout is cloned? So MS changed "Documents and Settings" to Users, and now it's cloned from Mac OS? Most Unix systems had a very similar layout (to Mac OS, not Vista), way before the Apple boys decided to drop their PoS OS and start over. Who's cloning now, bitch?
>The data is stored in Microsoft Access & the UI is written in VB6.
What? Do you really think they're using some kind of database? I have some insider info, and I can, with absolute certainty, say that the data is stored in 19,837 excel spreadsheets, with one row for each citizen. Lookup is done with a batch file which guesses which spreadsheet has the needed citizen based on the serial number, and also estimates the line which contains it. Then the batch script uses edlin to display that line or redirect it to a sms-sending script, but I won't go into that.

I'm outta this trainwreck thread.

I wasn't going to, but now that you said it, I've tagged this article "sharks".
I don't see what you problem is with this tag anyway. A few years from now you'll be able to search for "sharks" to get all laser related stories.

Aircraft fuel is often measured in pounds or tons. You fail at being anal retentive.

>Quoting economic theory doesn't cut much ice [...]
Well, neither does using a personal anecdote! How do you explain the dotcom period salaries, a sudden pulse of generosity on the part of the execs?

It's not as unreasonable as you might think. He probably started dating a flat-chested 12 year old, and then upgraded to a 14 y/o...

No.
We'll just supply weapons to those endangered species and hide the receipt before the apes decide to go after us too.
The real question remains though, would a stack of chimps with spears (lets just hope they can't use SMGs!) be able to defeat my tanks and APCs?
Mmmmm, chicks with three boobs!

Minimal Perl for Unix and Linux People? Is this the result of a perlgolf competition between perl-related books?
I'm not gonna argue against your main point, but I don't think it's fair to make a percentile estimations based on a population of five.

That's like saying that the ocean will be more wet after it's been raining for a day than it was before.

Nice to see the feds aren't immune to the same bullshit stunts Illinois and Georgia tried to pull.
>What makes these people think that workers don't waste time on YouTube when they're at work?
The fact that it's blocked by the firewall?

>How the H*ll Can You Patent That?
The same way you put an asterisk in "hell" and capitalized every word in a sentence.
I'd imagine you could use the wiimote and the nunchuck thingie to strangle someone by holding them as a wire over s/o neck and pulling hard.
