So why did leftists support, lie for, and make excuses for those regimes if they didn't think they were wonderful representations of socialism?
Because when it comes to leftists, it's all about "intentions" and not the results that matter. Ever wonder why they give each other a pass when their great ideologies fail? Well, now you know...
Based on your comment, I truly can't tell if it's just satire, or you're being bloody serious!
Right now, Vista is very bad for the corporate world being they often run custom web applications. Some of these applications haven't been updated yet to handle IE7. Then, you have applications that run on.Net. I've heard numerous bad things about these apps running on Vista too. Why? I don't know; I'm not a programmer. I'm only telling you based on personal experience with my clients.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Vista will never be the trusted successor to XP, but right now, it's too soon to be recommending this new OS.
I've had some issues installing my Creative X-Fi card when running XP. The motherboard I'm using is an Asus P5B Deluxe. In the BIOS, PnP OS support is set to "NO". This can cause a resource problem if XP or Vista doesn't except the mapped values handed out by the BIOS. I know for a fact that these two OSes love to set the resources themselves. Also, it's necessary for the OS to juggle them around should you add or remove hardware in the future.
Basically, just set PnP OS to "YES". Format, and then reinstall Vista. I'm fairly confident your issue will be resolved.
BTW, it wouldn't hurt to update your BIOS revision while you're at it.
I've run into a similar situation when ordering a new laptop for one of my clients. According to our Dell sale rep, we can only get XP installed on a Precision. Unfortunately, all Latitudes and Inspirons come with Vista only.
Being that our time costs money, formatting and reinstalling XP on new laptop could not be justified based on our hourly rate of labor. In the end, the client agreed that paying for a Precision laptop installed with XP from factory was the most cost effective solution.
Vista may be "ok" for home users, but definitely not for the corporate world. Businesses want a computer that will work for them, and around their IT infrastructure. They certainly don't want a computer with an OS fighting them at every turn with new and incompatible features. Plus, having to re-learn an OS and its application is time consuming. Obviously, spending time on something that's not profitable doesn't fly too well in our corporate society.
Excuse my ignorance, but I don't have the slightest clue as to why this is important.
Based on my limited understanding of what you said, its application could be used for some "Energy Weapon". Yes? If so, just imagine how much the military would pay USC for it. At that point, I guaranty you wouldn't need another grant for a long long time;)
Cache on the PPro was not on die, it was on a separate die in the same package. This was a really bad idea, because you couldn't test the cache or the core until you had put them both in the package.
Not true. After a wafer has been completed and the dies cut, you can start to test each one immediately for a "good" or "bad" status. It's only after they've been packaged at the end, are the re-tested and have their clock speed certified.
If I recall correctly, Intel was running into trouble with yields. They calculated that if you combine the total transistor count (CPU + Cache) under one die, your yields with current (at the time) technology would have been so low, you would have been priced the processors outside the potential market. The solution was to create two wafers of chips. One wafer was nothing but cache, the other the CPU. After the dies are cut from the wafer, they can each be tested and sorted in bins. It's at this point you can match the good ones together to form a single processor and retest them.
I think he was pointing that we should be "cautious" about how we use this technology. We're not talking about blowing up a city here. We're talking about the potential (maybe large, maybe small) to wipe out our planet and even the star system via tapping into the great "unknown" of the universe.
Unlike a video game, we don't have any Continues to call on. Make it last...
Illegal because it was never sanctioned by international law.
That can be debated in regards to UN Resolution 1441. Besides, we don't need to ask "international law" to protect our own self interests anyways.
Immoral because it was predicated on lies and is being used to profit those who advocated for it.
Ya, no shit! I'm still pissed off that the government made a secret deal with space aliens. You know? The one were we allow them to abduct our citizens in return for vast technological resources that I military is using now
The number comes from a study done by the British medical journal lancet.
Capturing the "kingpin" (Saddam) no doubt set the imates free the jail house. Now we are having to be the mediator between all the "gang" factions so they don't kill eachother. Civil war is a bitch. But that figure is almost all caused by muslim vs. muslim. You just gotta love that brotherly love, eh?
Thanks for asking. Any other questions?
Next time you smoke the peace pipe, please pass it around. Its bad manors not to share.
Sure, it was all marketing hype. I'm sure it's rooted into some fancy programming through.
The short version probably went something like this...
Programmer: "Hey, we found this really cool trick to pull off on the Genesis. The way we can buffer the background to blast through RAM, it'll provide a profound sense of speed for 2D scrollers."
Marketeer: "So by doing this buffering technique, it's more efficient at processing?"
Programmer: "Well...something like that. Technically it's more like..."
Marketeer: **interrupts** "THAT'S IT!!! Will call it BLAST PROCESSING"
You know, now that you mention it... I'd say the US military theater in Afghanistan and Iraq has been exemplary in comparison with all other wars fought by humans in the past. Sure, we hear very minor instances of rape in Iraq and torture in Abu Grab, but again this is a minor blemish to the men and women in uniform. The fact is 99.999+% of those in the service are professionals with the utmost reverence for civility.
Think how much money and effort has gone to dropping guided munitions with 1 square foot accuracy from more than 30,000 feet in the sky! How about rewarding the local population with electronic gifts such as two-way radios so they can speak to their local religious leaders from far away distances? How about rebuilding the infrastructure we destroyed with our own tax dollars? The list of heroism doesn't stop there either.
Maybe you should do a little research on mans past wars. How about the massive rape, enslavement, pillaging, painful slaughter of millions of innocent women and children attributed to other nations in the past during times of war?
In the modern world, the military is a tool for bring justice and the opportunity for freedom in parts of the world that have had none before. Why is that a bad thing? Should we not call the fire department when there's a fire to put out too?
It's not a good thing to be almost universally despised.
There is nothing new about this. America has ALWAYS been despised...and envied.
This is rooted in human behavior deep down to our primal instincts. When you're king of the mountain, everyone wants to push you off. When you have your eyes set on the king of the mountain, we all want to push him down.
Pandering will only get you into trouble, which is why our politicians shouldn't be doing it at our (civilian population) expense of national security.
Some of us don't give a damn about "global image"! We want a president that has a set of balls and will protect OUR national interests. I DON'T want a spineless liberal that will pander to the rest of the world only to be backstabbed later in life (AKA Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton).
If you want to help America, we accept your support; otherwise, get the hell out of the way. We've got some scum to scrape off this planet (N. Korea, Iranian leadership, Al-Qaeda...etc). Obviously, *some* of you Europeans are too GUTLESS to hear the calling of humanity that is required. If these Europeans don't support self sacrifice, at lease they should be supporting self preservation. The fact they don't support either intellectually blows my mind away!
That's the idea. It's called an autonomous revenue stream.
Already, the state of Texas, it's illegal to use frames or anything obstructing the full view of your license plate. The reason is; it hinders the stop-light cameras from processing the images via OCR (optical character recognition). So ya, the state wants the legal system to be computerized with your only stop to be in court should you decide to contest the results.
Perhaps instead of blaming violent entertainment, we should be looking at why we so enjoy watching people get the shit beat out of them.
Well, you can start by learning about Evolutionary Psychology. Also, if really want to work your way back to the beginning of time, check out Paleopsychology. Either way, you'll find your answer...
See, that's the rub. Microsoft shouldn't call it a "Full Version" or an "Upgrade. They should call it PITA and Non-PITA. So if you want the full version, buy the Non-PITA. Problem solved.
Road Runner (Time Warner Cable) will send a disable.bin file to the modem to disable it. Don't bother rebooting the modem too; it will still grab the same disable.bin file from the CMTS.
Basically, you get a three strike policy. On the 3rd time you get disabled for viri/spamming abuse on the network, you are informed to format and reinstall your OS or have it professionally done. Likewise, you explain the situation to the abuse department for official documentation reasons.
Don't blame Time Warner though, they give their users free anti-virus and firewall (EZ Armor) software. They even go to such great lengths as to put together this website to help you help yourself get cleaned up. You can't honestly ask for better service from Time Warner. I'd say they're being more than fair enough!
The problem wasn't the DVR. Your issue was a poor cable signal to the box. Because the DVR decodes a digital signal, any interruption will cause macro blocking and other issues that you've mentioned.
Your Tivo doesn't have this problem because it just tunes into your analog broadcast.
No, it's real. It's a major issue in Houston, and Austin TX. I'm willing to bet in other major cities as well. Being that I worked for Time Warner in Austin, we've always had shortages of the Scientific Atlanta 8000 and 8300 DVRs.

Thanks for that link. :)
I was aware of the Latitudes being geared toward the business sector, but I couldn't find one without XP. Thankfully, I stand corrected.
I'm curious to know if there is a commission difference between selling products with XP vs. Vista. I doubt he misunderstood me.

Good lord! I've always wondered what happend to those COAST (Cache On A STick) modules back in the Pentium 1 days. Brings back memories...

"Really officer, she accepted my string-of-pearls as a gift"
Maybe it means more along the lines of "Take honor in your hard work for society and yourself. Do not be slothful (lazy and parasitic on resources)"
Would that be closer to its meaning?
