Saw the add in the paper about 2 weeks ago. You get a free 3 room installation, 2 of which are DVR units so you can pause and replay. Didnt catch the fine print so don't know how good it is.:)
We'll all be spared of Finding Nemo 2.. 3.. 4.. and 5?... or will it follow all the other disney movies.. like Lion King, Aladdin...
Though, guess its still better than the "Land Before Time" 1-10 series...
Really hurts coming from an anonymous coward.. wow.
"Since I didn't install much aside from a typical utility set and a windowing system, yes."
That's still more than "linux" as linux is only the kernel. And this is what your really missing here.
"When Microsoft gives $1 billion of computer aid to the United Nations, in both cash AND software, don't you think this is a good investment, both for commercial and public image purposes ?"
No, not actually. When microsoft gives any "software" and applies a dollar value to it for their total investment I call it a load of shit. It costs them a fews cents per cd to copy off all that crap they donated, then say.. Oh, this 1$ pile of cd's is worth 180$ per cd.. and this one.. ooh, 600$ per cd. When it didnt cost anything at all near that to donate it.
What, and your too stupid to press "Ctrl Alt +
"
Gee, makes it so much harder to change resolutions when you need to remember a whole 3 keys to push to cycle through all available resolutions...
What're you missing?
Lets see. First of all the fact that you've tried 1 distro and think that its "Linux" causing the problem and not maybe all the bloated crap you installed with the distro?
Perhaps the fact that you can compile from scratch every single part of the os you'd ever use if you really wanted a speed improvement?
Maybe the fact that imbedded devices dont normally run KDE, Gnome, or the X-Windowing system just to show someone a heartbeat monitor!
Only thing your really missing is a brain. Why don't you go find one now.
Weapons of Mass destruction? Nada...
Step up the warining level every few months? Sure?
Biological Attacks warranting duct tape and plastic sales? Nope...
Recent bombings and terrorist attacks other than our own government? Still nothing..
With headlines like these, does it really matter if the newsanchors arent where they say they are? Not like anyone was expecting this "honesty" from them to begin with...
Yep, just went out and bout the new Star Wars Tera-Peta-Giga Vid cube box set! Got all 4872 episodes in one nice little box.. with over 3 years of special features and directors comments!
And it's amd's problem how? Seems you should get on the ass of the company that makes the fucked up card that they decide doesnt work with amd, not amd for having their own proccessor. In the real world morons like you figure that out without making retarted posts like that.
That's pretty dang odd. I've been on my cable service for.. over 2 years now. I have 4 email addresses registered for various needs. I've yet to recieve even 1 spam message about anything at all. I've never, ever recieved any emails I wasnt expecting.
You cant? Hmm. that's odd, maybe you should tell that to all the military companies making emp "shielded" techonology. Its just energy, lots of energy? Yes, but energy none the less. Which means things like lead, other heavy metals, and large amounts of dirt and rock are quite effective at lowering strength and absorbing.
How come I can see the part of wisconsin that I live in?... Quite identifiable what with the ground being so flat an open here, shows up well on topographs and space shots...
Oh for christs sake.. ITS A FRICKEN BOOK TOO YA KNOW.. its not exactly a spoiler when you could have read it at any library and half the country already knew the entire story before watching the movie!
Good lord, all I remember about watching that movie was "My god, this is so f-ing retarted and BORING..." Was about the most dull, predictable, uninspiring movie i've ever seen.
The only reason its quiet around here is the author forgot his brain, and no one really cares about what he's writing!
At least macs don't forward millions of email viruses every time that someone writes a new one. And I don't see macs listed as one of the computers that was discovered to have leaked personal information for millions of people to see... Mac's arent being afflicted with pop up windows curtesy of a never used Messenger service...
I also don't see macs trying to integrate the bios into the operating system! Or being taken over and hosting porn sites!...
A 699$ computer?

AOL's $299 PC

Damn, that's a real rip off...
699$ for a 1.7ghz celeron?
I only paid $619 for a 2.8Ghz Athlon XP with 120GB, 512 ram with Nvidia graphics and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound out...
If your spending 699 for a 1.7ghz celeron you need to have your head examined. Unless its a dell. That should be about their normal amount of overcharging people.
Well, if some more people actually bother to get up the guts to fight this, it's really possible they could win, partially.
If you browse through FindLaw.com on their fourth amendment rights and case examples, it seems, really, the RIAA is in serious breach of everyone's rights.
From past case example, on probably cause searches, they are really only allowed to check an IP for illegal matterials if the person comes right out and shows them what they have!
Its easy to come to this conclusion, Take a peak at the footnotes and cases on non-telephonic survellience. Passivle watching, or listening, if perfectly allowable, as it allows really stupid people to get caught doing bad things. But the moment you take action to be in a listening position, you violate someone's rights...
Wouldnt trying to download a file, without being able to prove they dont legally own the file and have it on display by accident, be the same as drilling a hole in someone's wall and popping in a microphone?
And if you'd gone anywhere but k-mart, you'd have found about 15 copy brands that cost about 1/3 as much and do exactly the same thing.:) I bought one of the copies and its great.. same size as the largest George Forman Grill they make. only $14.

Your reading about driver problems, go to download the new driver and try it, and 2 different web browsers lock up just trying to download the file...
