I can vouch for this. It's true. In fact, one time I worked on a smokers Dell. It was one of those cases where you had to take the front cover off in order to gain access to the two screws that mounted the vertical hard drive. Anyways, when I removed that pannel, a lent-rag (like what you find in a cloths dryer) can rolling off the metal case. It was nasty yellow cause of the tar which helped bind both dust and pet hair. I sware, I almost lost my lunch because of it.
Because of heavy chain smoking my clients take part it, I often wonder if they are even still alive. Just too creepy!
Simple as that, as long as your don't pick your asshole and THEN use the keyboard, you should be fine....and people wonder why I carry a bottle of Purell while on-site to fix Joe Sixpacks computer.
Bush inherited the collapsing internet "bubble" (started at the end of Clintons term), the 911 event, and now the global ecconomy is in the middle of self restructuring (outsourcing of jobs). But hey, this is globalism now. I thought that's what you wanted givin that most Democrats support it.
Let's be honest here. With all of the shit Bush is having do deal with, I'd say he's doing fairly well at keeping another great depression at bay from happening.
Oh hell ya!! Superchargers are all over the place in the aftermarket world. Toyotas devision called TRD (Toyota Racing Development) sells a SC for just about every car/truck/SUV they make. For Honda and Miata owners, check out jacksonracing.com. If you own a Mustang or Focus, you can find Vortec SCs as bolt-on kits too.
ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND!!!! al Queda doesn't give a rats ass about politics. If you are anything BUT of the Islamic faith, you are scum and condemed to hell by the rath of Alah (read the Quran sometime). And al Queda sees themselves as nothing more then an instrument of Alahs will. And you want to talk about oppressive!!...do some research of the Taliban. It doesn't get more oppressive then that. They do it to themselves.
al Queda mainly has America on it's sights because we are everything they hate from a religious perspective. So naturally, we are the first to be targeted. Also, Russia has been targets of Islamic fanatics along with Spain. Let's not forget Israel too.
Please, spare me the BS about America pushing them around! Your insulting my intelligence.
Stop being so politically correct. The fact of the matter is that this is a holy war waged by a bunch of religious fanatics. They WANT to die so they may be blessed by Alah and a hundred virgins in the afterlife.
If they won't listen to reason, then they will have to answer by our might. Sorry to spell out the sick sad truth. No one ever said war was pretty, just a fact of life that has been part of Human history...and perhaps into the future as well.
Remember, we are all animals. Some just happen to be more civilized then others.
God damnit!! I want those fucking Islamic extremists killed on the spot. The sooner we wipe them out, the sooner we can get our freedoms back...I hope. If not, then they already won the war at destroying America.
Bravo Bin Ladin, you used our system against us. I just hope we can repay you in the sum total of a bullet to the head.
File sharing is like smokeing pot. More people do it then the general public will admit.
I just hope they raid the house of a polition because their little johnny or jane was caught downloading MP3z. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
If your smart and have the means to do so, I suggest you travel to another star system and lay claim to your own planet. Hell, there are millions of them just ripe for the picking.
But again, getting there is just a *small* problem.
BAM BAM BAM.. "whos that". It's SCO, you are in violation or our IP by running unauthorized Linux. You are now required to be our slave and lick our nuts. BLAM!! I uphold the 2nd admendment, so fuck your IP and say out of my house.
The BIOS does functions that you can't have a general purpose OS do. For example, each BIOS is custom tailored to the MB it's connected to. It helps define signal timing, memory addressing, voltage monitoring...etc. Operating systems today do not completely override these functions. What they WILL do is allow for better allocation of resources to hardware directly such as what IRQ will be tied to what type of hardware.
I predect that the next "big thing" in IT will be retro. Because of the major headaches with administrating Wintel boxes, it would be much easer to have user apps run on a central clustered-mainframe system. It would alow for easier application installation and central system administration. Also, spare CPU cycles are cheap now. So unless your running something scientific (read: need lots of CPU), your average employee doesn't need their own dedicated workstation. But rather, a simple dumb terminal with a nice GUI enviroment.
My point is this: With a saturation in the PC market, companies outsourcing, and consolidating workforce personel...why would even THINK about finding the PC market to be lucrative anytime soon?
I suppose the gaming market will still be strong. It looks Alienware and Falconwest have the right idea so far. It's a limited market, but worthy enough non the less.
Mr. Dell is cashing out because he knows the PC market is TOAST!. PCs are such a commodity now days that Dell doesn't have an advantage anymore. Just look at the sub $200 PCs at Walmart! And with China and Korea quickly sucking up market share, it won't be long before you can nab a highend PC for $200.
I'm not saying this is bad. It's just that Mr. Dell is smart and KNOWS the market is about to crumble. In fact, Dell doesn't make anything anymore, they just rebrand the laptops made by Samsung. Soon, Samsung will cut out the middle man and sell the laptops themselves.
Also, you can forget about fixing and repairing PCs as job security. That goldmine has ran out. Why pay someone $100 just to patch up an older PC when you can get a new one for double that amount (and comes with warranty)?
It works so well because the waveforms it picks up is nothing more then consumer grade muzak. So be it, all the better. I've always wanted a meathod of cleaning up all the hiphop crap from P2P networks. Heh
It's just that litigation is shaping the implementation of technology in an unfavorable way. Especially in the name of consumer rights and innovation in the tech sector.
Wow!! What a hyperbole on your part. I was NOT bashing liberals you shumuck.
My point is that people hold onto political ideology much like religion. So regardless if his sig was in favor of right-wing or left-wing, the chance of getting modded because of it is equally possible.
I gave that advice because I found the parents post to be informative. But I fear it might get modded otherwise because of his sig.
Oh come on! Just how is DirectX a kludgey hack? I've played the same game in both OpenGL and DirectX (Unreal 2003 or Unreal2...I forgot which one) and they flawlessly. In fact, I can't tell which one is better.
But if your going to program a game in an API, why not DirectX? It handles Video, Audio, and input. OpenGL is nice, but it only does video (that I know of).
I'm not a physicist. I am however, a philosopher. But I did watch an interesting program on Nova called The Elegant Universe. In the program, it talked about the problems of getting general relativity to complement quantum mechanics. If this can be done, you would in effect have a "theory of everything".
So, I think proportional displacement might be a worthy fresh view. And if this model is incorrect, then so be it. Regardless if it's right or wrong, the act of investigation is progress in the name of science.
Just something to chew on. Do with it as you will.

Oh my GOD!! It's Planet X...quick, someone call Art Bell. The end of the world as at hand...Aarrrggghhhhhhhhaaaaaa!!!
Ya ya, I'm being silly.

To overlock or underclock, just take uppers and downers. Drugs...gotta love them little pills!
Ya, and while they're at it, sell them in pairs with a sticker on the package that says "Ideal for RAID-O"
Common!! I want quality, not quantity!

Just what the porn industry needs. Wait till the makers of Real Doll create a version that walks, talks....and fucks.
Actually, I might pay for that. *grin*
As I've said before... "The innuendo you state, is the hyperbole you make"
No, because all it takes is for one bimbo with a 1960s hairdryer to bring your connection to screeching hault.
Ever watch UHF TV when that happens? Nuff said.

Damn, I hoping to have an Ice Beam in the near future. It would be nice to fight monsters like Samus.
*sigh* I really need to stop playing Metriod.
I'm not trolling. I'm just pissed off...that's all.
Why couldn't Carmack just code the think in DirectX. That way, leave the shading abilities to the drivers coded by ATI and nVidia?
