too true...I think from now on I will just skip any article about MS. Too bad they dont have a filter to block quotes from rabid linux fanbois. I am just as much a fan of open source as anyone (almost every machine i run has a *nix partition) but some linux users seem to live in a fantasy world. I couldnt imagine being such a hardcore zealot about anything. It just seems wrong and unhealthy...like they are trying to make up for something. Do us all a favor fanbois and pipe down. You scare away more people than you bring to linux (RTFM?).
actaully what made africa a desert was a slight shift of the earth's angle to the sun. Less than 1/2 a percent of change which is 23 degrees or so. This happens because the moon is moving away from us and the further it moves the more unstable the earths rotation is on its axis. Eventually the earth will wobble more and more and its rotation will speed up.
A co-worker got this on his home machine yesterday and brought it to work for me to fix. Simply un-plug from your network then boot the machine up. Once you are in Windows reconnect your network cable and d/l the patch and fix. Rather simple...took me all of 5 minutes.
resignator or tsubati for any FPS (battlefield 1942, the whole quake/doom series, and tribes 1&2) In mmorpgs I usually go with tsubati as well(the thief in Conan the Barb) but my long time favorite name was droctagon (enchanter on EQ). Sure there have been others but those are the 3 names I usually stick to. Back in the UO days I used the name Travolta:P
If they can ban a video game that depicts killing a cop shouldnt they ban it from all entertainment? Does anyone actually believe this could save a cops life? I know, lets ask a few cop killers and see if a video game was the deciding factor.
To all the morons complaining about NASA funding SETI...please get a clue. I mean you wanna help poor people right and this SETI funding could go to feed so many right? WRONG! The amount of funding SETI is getting is less than 10% of what we spend in ONE DAY on foriegn military actions. This is also about the same amount of money GWB raises at one of his campaign dinners. So get a clue about shit before you break out the bleeding heart feed the poor bullshit. I am all for helping people but I cant even possibly imagine how NOT funding SETI is gonna make any difference at all. It is such a tiny drop in the bucket its sad almost. I am so sure the people complaining about this are donating their time to soup kitchens and such too, not. Hipocrits...
the Government Information Awareness website Too bad I really dont think they have much of a chance against the RIAA's money bags. I think anyone that supports this effort should put their money where their mouth is. I mean if you are adamant enough to boycott the RIAA arent you saving at least $15 that could go to a good cause such as this?
i cant believe you arent modded down like the troll you are.
"The truth is probably that the blame for this is squarely on the head of Microsoft for trying to make the PC ubiquitous"
wha? I guess Apple hasnt always been marketing itself as simpler to use than windows(a computer for the masses,pfft). I guess this is also why linux has a KDE and installation of redhat is point and click these days. While you are busy trying to tie Bill Gates into everything wrong with the world you might want to pull your head out of your ass long enough to see where you are going with an argument.
Couldnt have said it better myself. IMHO apple is just as hostile if not more towards 3rd party devolpers than M$. I give apple 3 years till they are bankrupt or bought out. Flame away but 3 of the 4 mac users I know bought them because the case and monitor looked "cool". Only one of those 3 macs is still in use. This is mainly due to macs lack of alternative sofware. Two of these people own pc's now and love open source programs, freeware, and the thousands of choices in software they never had before. I was glad to build a system for them and it cost around 600 bones (good video cards for gaming cost the most) compared to the 2800 for the macs. One friend was completely turned off after sitting on a mac for a year and wont even get another computer now( very sad ). The fourth friend of mine is all mac and a total zealot. He hates linux and windows SOOO much and would never switch even if macs sales went to fund a new nazi party ( he is jewish:P ) So thats just my take on macs. I am not flaming...it is just what I have observed and taken away although it may be totally incorrect.
what i was basically trying to point out was that there are many theories that await to be discovered. If you would have asked someone 200 years ago how to get to the moon I am sure you would have just got a confused look. Admittedly, the "folding space" theory wasn't the best example but just becasue we cannot conceive of a way to travel to far off galaxies now does not mean it cannot happen.
this is one of the best uses of the internet I have ever seen. Not that I think all the people in America will suddenly become informed or care but at least it might wake a few politians up.
i have seen at least one theory that didnt involve the speed you travel or distance. It relied on pulling space toward you kinda like folding a blanket using gravity. The problem was the amount of energy needed to create this affect. The idea that there are other ways to travel other than just accelerating from one point to another is not that unbelievable to me.
omg lost cross and didnt mention Tanner? Tanner is a legend. Carbondale brings back so many memories...drunk girls showing tits on the strip, parting till 7am, the occasional riots when bars closed, and my roommate who had 60lbs of marijuana in his room most of the time. God what I would give to be young and stupid again....
"Bush was elected by the populace and his support couldn't be stronger right now."
This has got to be the funniest thing I have read all week...wait no the saddest. Are people really this stupid? If so I will just kill myself right now
A joystick is a must for aircraft in bf1942... cant wait for the star wars mod. Anyone know of a utility to map force feedback to buttons? This would really kick ass for bf1942( my only qualm about the game other than the tkers )
OxyClean is teh shiznit. Most judges I know are 60 year old men that have no clue about science or technology. Seems like another half assed law to me.

how the hell is this a troll. I clearly stated...
"it is just what I have observed and taken away although it may be totally incorrect."I think it is rather obvious I wasnt trolling and passing my personal experience on. Are the mods smokin those tweeds again?

how come everyday I have to read about some completely retarded lawsuit being filed when the lawyers should have been laughed out of the court room?
