Sims work! With the amount of hour spend playing Medal of Honor and Call of Duty, I can say for certain that I'm tatically ready for battle in the real world. Here are some things I've learned.
1. Never..EVER stand in the middle of an open field without cover. You will get your sniped.
2. Always reload when availble...and NOT in combat.
Freedom has a price. With out a strong military, you cannot ensure its protection. But then again, what does a troll like you know about maintaining a world free of dictators and corruption? The dirty little secret is this. You MUST protect freedom for the better of mankind. Even...if it cost lives.
Here you go, I found it. You can download the screensaver from Sysinternals. Run it and you will understand what I mean by spoofing corrupted files in a fake CHKDSK mode.
Back in 98, I installed a screensaver on a few file servers (NT 4.0). What was nifty about it was that it showed the total RAM count and was performing a filecheck that actually read the files (RAID activity can be heard) and flagged them as corrupted. Of course, the files were perfectly fine in reality.
Oh man...did I catch hell from my manager when he dropped his coffee mug and ran into the server room and pulled the plug on the RAID. Though I laughed really hard...he obviously didnt.
From that point on, we had to restore the file server because the system wasn't shutdown properly. Fuck...he only needed to move the mouse or press a key to kick the screen saver off.
"Why would a poor student suddenly turn into a capable one?"
Maybe it's because high school... is a FUCKING JOKE!!!! Hell, one of my friends in HS was a total slacker. He smoked pot every year and party with the best of bitches. In fact, HS to him was such a fucking joke, he was bored with it (and his grades suffered).
Then came college at UT. He Graduated with a 3.9 GPA and a business degree.
Basically, HS grades and performance does NOT count in the real world. Never has, and NEVER EVER WILL when looking for a job. That said however, HS grades will make it much easer to get into a good college. And with the case of my friend, he took all of his basic classes at a local community college then transfered.
I call BS on this post. Not EVERY job requires the best of skills. I'm sure your company would be perfect for handling NASA software contracts. But for your average small business, they may only need support or simple solutions. Why should such simple solutions require the wage demand set by your company and its employees? Remember, not everyone is asking for 110%. They just want the job done....cheaply. You sir, have a very false sense of idealism.
You are correct about the height difference in bumpers between SUVs and cars. But, the main reason for integrated bumpers has to do with crumple zones. Because of the nasty rates of health insurance, it's better to have a car absorb the kinetic energy rather than your spine. Unless of course, you don't mind having your body experience the sharp jolt in energy at the expense of keeping your car. You gotta love those blood sucking lawyers! Sue sue sue is the name of the game now. (Sad but true)
I'm curious though. Why not have shock absorbers mounted in the front and rear of the frame? This would kill two birds with one stone; minimal auto damage and less shock to your body on impact.
If I have to drive at night on 290 between Houston and Austin, I will wear my Oakleys to keep myself from being blinded. I honestly don't see how these HID lights are DOT industry approved. They are way to bright in my opinion.
The only thing missing on my nightly trips is the song "Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart playing in the background.
I was bored one weekend and decided to take a look at some of the BMWs at my local dealership. They sales man told me that if I qualified, I could be on a ten year car payment plan! TEN YEARS!!??? Fuck that. I might as well lease the fucker, drive low milage, then hand over the keys for a new one.
I honestly believe this is the new game in America. They WANT you to lease the car so they can recoop most of they profit from you. Then, they ship that same car overseas. Wash..rense..repeat.
Folks, don't even bother with trying to OWN a $40 car. Your better of leasing it. They set the price that way for the very reason.

I believe the book was called "Comming of the global super storm" or something like that. But then again, Art Bell has been known to provide shock entertainment. When it comes to this guy, just sit back an enjoy the fun. He would want it that way.
What's good for customers, is bad for them. CC want's total control of the market. I've heard good things about XM lately. I think I'll subscribe just to piss them off. I want to listing to what I want to...when I want to. I can't stand CC stations that only play a roster of 10 songs a day...shuffled over and over.
Oh ya, fuck hip-hop! God I had to get that off my chest.
But do dolphins emit ultra sound? I mean, even if they do, how could they notice a clump of cells in the womb at only a week old? I'm willing it was her behavior that changed due to her pregnancy. Thus, the dolphins responded in kind.
By overclocking your neurons, you might be changing your perception of time relative to everything around you. So while you may think faster to everyone around you, you may not notice anything different in terms of perceived intelligence.
Actually, time might slow down around you. Imagine being able to see a humming bird flap it's wings in very slow motion (assuming the human eye can refresh at a high enough rate) with ease. Also, imagine everyone talking in slow motion. Basically, time is in total slow motion relative to your speed of thought.
Remember, your speed of thought doesn't = increase in complexity of intelligence.
Damn, that's really easy for me. I can imagine the smell, feel, color, light refraction of a water drop on a petal, and weight of the rose all at once. In fact, mere seconds of this is almost lucid for me.
Just one problem though. My mathmatics skills still suck ass. My mind does NOT like to crunch numbers internally. Oh well, some much for the cache.:(
Wow, just wait till the shrink that down to something like....toilet paper....errr...ya. Then again, it would be nice to make a backup of SCO software and wipe my ass with it.
Seriously! I once bought a busted laptop from someone for $200 (I needed spare parts). But I didn't need the LCD. So I sold it on E-bay and got $320 for the screen alone!
Yes, those LCDs are quite profitable if you know were to look.
That's right, lets just fill up valuable CPU die space with DRM crap. I would rather have more cache in it's place instead. No...fuck it. I know, lets just have a dedicated DRM co-processor paritioned into the CPU die. Ya...fuck consumers. We need all that CPU speed to make cracking DRM in real-time virtually impossible! Now all we need is some funding from the RIAA....
Ya, I'm being cynical. But can you really blame me?
I'm willing to bet the majority of the slashdot readers are in the Northern Himisphere...which is in Spring going on to Summer. But for those in Aussi land, It's fall going on to Winter.
I dunno. I can imagine them being hacked with a statement that says "You are sheep, you must buy our product". Heh, it kind of reminds me of the movie They Live.

3. Team work...use team work.
4. Stay low, and quite.

They should have packed in a nuclear reactor with the package. Naaa...I'll stick with ATI. I can't afford a fire in my PC with nVidia ;-P.
A trackball would be a perfect input device for this. Namely, the Marble Mouse from Logitech.
