Bin Laden will never be captured or killed. He's one hellava resourceful SOB. That, and he has prophet-like status among his twisted followers that will die for him.
Sure, why not? Spider or ant configuration, they could jump on its target and self-destruct, taking him/her with it. Now imagine them working as a pack together guided by GPS and infrared sight. Spooky!
I agree with you on the LCDs, but not plasmas. I'm not sure what generation of sets you were looking at, but my 42in" Panasonic Plasma (TH-42PZ85U) has superior contrast ratio and color depth to any LCD (duh) and CRTs (interesting) I've seen.
I've looked at the Samsung LED's at my local BestBuy. I would take one of those over an LCD hands down. But I still think the Plasma is better still. Once OLED screens come down in price, watch out! That technology will become the new benchmark.
More often than not, very large tube sets are "good enough" for most people that have them. However, replacing them is such a huge PITA because of how large and heavy they are. So until it decides to die one day, there really isn't much of an incentive replace it with a flat panel.
Hah. It's funny you should mention that because one of my clients thought naming printers after their make and model was a bad idea. I didn't think so, but I was out-numbered by many of their employees.
So, they all agreed to call the printer after people. The first one was called "Bob". Yes, Bob the printer. *sigh*
To be fair, Comcast does allow you to opt out of the DNS redirection and they processed my request for this quite quickly.
Same here, I opted out (via modem's MAC address) and had my request processed in just a few days. It still doesn't make it right however.
What's next? pop-up Ad/Tracking software that runs in the system tray? And if there is little to no software activity running, it kills your connection until it's re-established? I mean, at what point do the ISPs start treating our connection as though it's only to be used for entertainment purposes? Screw what the Internet was *supposed* to be used for. You use it how we say you use it Mr-Mindless-Zombie consumer you!
Oh, don't worry. They will get a cut of everyone's action once the new health care system allows for direct bank account access. This is just small peanuts in comparison.
I'm American and pro-immigration. However, I only support legal methods of immigration. When you have illegal immigrants in your country, they tend not to assimilate. In fact, they balkanize. We already have regions of Texas and California near the border that isn't American anymore. Culturally, that part of the soil has been eroded away to Mexico and as such, they have complete disregard to our state and federal laws. I suppose calling this region a "no mans land" would be a better description.
This is what happens when you don't enforce your borders and immigration laws.
These are rough times with shitty sales. I'm sure Dell is just trying to stay afloat by what ever means. The days of exclusive deals between the industry giants is hold for now at least.
According to the invoice, I paid 109 Euros for it. I'm not sure what the exchange rate was at the time, but currently that puts it about 155 Dollars. If I recall, that sounds about right when I looked at my bank statement then.
This is exactly why I purchased my own copy of AnyDVD HD with a lifetime license (does not expire). Slysoft update's the ripping program at least once every two weeks, so you know many bugs are being worked out with ripping DVDs and BD disks.
I would highly suggest purchasing this program before it becomes illegal to do so. If not by Slysoft, by some other company.
Burnout Paradise (The Ultimate Box), and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War II for the PC require a Windows LIVE account to play online. In fact, Warhammer is especially annoying in that *requires* both Steam and Windows LIVE just so I can play a local campaign by myself.
I sure hope so, for their sake. They keep putting their trust in us, and our politicians f**k them and those who voted them in office. When China tells us to screw off, I would ask in turn "WTF took you so long?" I'm afraid that we are a bad asset. Yet, it's momentum that keeps nations investing in the US dollar. But for how much longer?
It's a nice controller for sure. I've go the X-Box 360 version for my PC just so I could play Burnout Paradise (The Ultimate Box). It was well worth it IMHO. But if your into console emulators such as the SNES, Genesis, and PS1, nothing beats the Gravis GamePad Pro (USB). It's basically a Playstation controller for the PC. I'm surprised they didn't get sued by Sony unless a deal was already cut between them.
Because if proposing regulations on the health insurance system so that people aren't just kicked off all the time and so that everyone can get basic coverage is tyranny... Um. You're wrong.
No, no I am NOT wrong. Get out under that fucking rock you live under and watch as this bill is attempted to being rammed down the throat of the American public.
Government mandated health care is the root access to our very society and how it operates. Think about it. Once this law is in place, YOU are GOVERNMENT PROPERTY!!! That means the Gov can tell you what car to drive, what to eat, and what kind of recreation you may or may not partake in. After all, reducing the cost of health care is for the greater good of society. I mean...you are too fucking stupid to take care of yourself. Sorry, had to make that minor correction.
This health care bill that basically no one has read is starting a civil war this country. Blood hasn't been shed yet, but don't be surprised when it does.
It sounds logical, but goes against the grain of our human nature. That is to say, we as a society would rather own a tangible object such as a Windows or Mac PC than to pay another monthly service subscription. I'm not saying that they are or are not. But they plan on selling mainframe time as a form of virtual computing, it's doomed from the start. The psychology of the consumer masses will not partake in this "product" regardless of how much better it is or how much money it would save them.
Our Government already has! In the some odd 30+ years of my life, I've never experienced just how bad it has gotten. The unemployment, crime, corruption, incompetence, hubris: It's just nuts!
Come 2010, there will be many senators whom will thrown out of office. Mainly Democrats and some Republicans. People felt shafted in the Bush year, but this administration and Congress has redefined the meaning of tyranny! People can only take so much before they *snap*.
Good thing our politicians have premo health care. I suspect they're going to need it after the angry mobs get done with them.
There isn't any. That's why it's called "faith", and not science.
Ironic as it may be, science brings me closer to understanding God through the knowledge of our Universe. It's sort of like taking a logical approach to understanding his language only for him to throw more questions at you than you had initially. The purpose and goals (if there is any) of God is without question, unfathomable to me.
You can have faith and it being guided by the scientific method, but let us not confuse the two.
In this economic climate with massive unemployment and dismal consumer spending, the gaming industry is in a depression in of it self.
Blizzard would be stupid by *not* releasing SC2 or D2 as soon as possible. No I don't think this is a decision based on logic. Unless they really don't want to rock the boat, I suspect it's internal politics as usual.

Did anyone else think of Capsela when they saw this?

That was a dumb question. Of course they do!

WTF dude? I don't like the healthcare bill either, but government already does all that.
What, and that's supposed to make it alright?!!
This has been going on a long time, get your head out of your ass and stop bleating the republican line.
Why would a Republican such as myself not stand behind core conservative beliefs? I stand 100% behind the idea of a non-intrusive limited government.

At least, you can still possess it, for now.
Heh, ya. Just like my guns...

Because you aren't doing it right. Once you've mastered the Farmers Blow, it never again becomes an issue.
Where is the evidence for any god?

If everyone is playing from the same room then the connection doesn't go over the internet at all.
You sure about that? It's an honest question. I mean, do you know for a fact that all game traffic will use your local GW instead of Battle.Net?
In this economic climate with massive unemployment and dismal consumer spending, the gaming industry is in a depression in of it self.
