If I receive no reward for my hard labor, then why should I slave away? Better yet, maybe I should just sit on my ass and let everyone else do the work. Either way, a communistic government will still give me the same...right? Oh, but I forgot. Everyone else would prolly be thinking the same way as I am. Thus, no one would be working their ass off and everyone would end up having a shitty lifestyle.
On the other hand, capitalism takes the selfish aspect of human nature and spins it into a positive way of life for the all of society. I'll take the all might buck-in-hand thank you very much.
That's right, let the government provide for you. For they are your future mother and father. You shall and will provide blood, sweat, and tears in the form of tax dollars. And in return, they will be spent back to the community at their discretion.
Welcome...to communism!!! Face it folks, the government is only going to get bigger. It ALWAYS has, and it ALWAYS will.
If Microsoft ever did that in a product I own, I will sue them for using my CPU resources that cost me money on my electric bill. And yes, it adds up. And I quote from Folding at Home...
"Roughly, a CPU uses about as much power as a 60 watt light bulb. Here's a report on computer power management from Lawrence Berkeley government labs, and there are other referencs on the web you can find. Although power supplies on most computers are rated at 250 watts, average usage is much lower. On average, a Pentium-type computer uses between 45-70 watts (I've read various different sources on this) while it is on. If the computer has no idle mode, it will use the same amount of energy whether it is running a program or not. If it is on idle, it will consume around 25 watts. So, the daily difference between off and running F@H is about 24x(45 to 70) = 1.1 to 1.7 kWh. At $0.14 per kWh ( from PG&E here in California), this works out to about $0.15 to $0.24 per day, or perhaps $6 a month. The difference between an idled computer and one running F@H would be closer to $4 a month - and if the computer was already being used 8 hours a day, it would be closer to $3 a month.
Now, just imagine everyone running all those shiny new PCs with the latest version of Windows. And you thought power distribution was a problem in the US now. Damn...
Based on the photo alone. I would say she is engaged or even *gasp* married. Yup, when your single and on the prowl...the "ring finger" is the first thing you look at. Why bother wasting hers and your time?
Seriously. From this day forward, I will make GOD DAMN sure that I never say anything that would be politically correct. So if you niggas have a problem with that, you can take it up with this white cracka. Bitchlap and out
I hope the source code does NOT get released. If you thought SCO was bad, imagine MS going after anyone sneeking code into an open sourced program. Also, MS is an American company. Buy opening up the code to black hats and viri coders, your doing America a disservice through the loss of billions of dollars. And eventually, that will hit my pocket...
I find it interesting how enviromentalalists want to preserve the status-quo. Yet, by doing so, they could be seen as slowing (or stopping even) the natural process of evolution. Remember, regardless of human activity, every living thing thrives in our Earths Bio-sphere. That is, who's to say that we are really destroying the ecosystem? Maybe, we are just one of the many challenges an entire bio-sphere goes through. And thus, evolution has played it's part yet again.
I can't remember what program it was exactly on. But, there was talk about how life on Earth started next to underwater volcanic vents. They managed to life off the chemistry in the oceans rather then sunlite. The process is known as chemosynthesis. If such a theory holds true, perhaps the moon Europa has life sustained from geothermic energy.
As a republican, I can honestly say that GWB speaks from his heart. His decisions however, are not the wisest. The Patriot Act may not have been intended to take away our civilian rights in a malicious manor, but the foundation for it is there. And that's what truely scares me about the PA. It's possible that a future administration (regardless of party) could take advantage of this and totally start hacking away.
Your not alone. IT is one of those fields where you live by the sward, die by the sward. Just remember what IT stands for...Information Technology. And because information knows no boundries, the IT market workforce is global in spit seconds. Thanks to the Internet that lets Abbu from India send his finished source code to Joe Sixpack here in the US.
So, if your looking for job security with decent pay. Well, your better off being an auto mechanic then working some IT job. It's all about working in an industry that demand local attention really.
Depending on how cheap this memory is. You could pack in a few gigabytes. Being that your just storing phone numbers and text, that would be plenty of space. Thus, the phone would use the built-in memory like a scratch pad. when you want to erase a number, it just scratches off that address of memory as unusable and moves on to the next line. Chances are, that would never use up all that memory throughout the life of the phone. Being that technology advances and all.
I couldn't agree more. In fact, if Intel had an above average yield for fast processors, they would take some of those and stamp them as a lower speed. This is so they don't flood their own market with nothing but fast CPUs. In the end, it's all about the market and profit. Nothing wrong with this. But, don't expect corporations to be in the business to develop products just for the sol purpose of "innovation" for the sake of humanity and societal evolution.
How long before DMCA stickers are afixed to all forms of electronics on the consumer packaging? Kinda like a surgeon generals warning on a box of cigarettes.
The US is like a sleeping dragon. As long as you don't fuck with it (hint: terrorism), your fine. But, piss it off, and it will clean house. And that's exactly what happend to Saddams regime. With weapons designed NOT to inflict unnecessary casualties. Now, had terrorist orginizations poked and pried at China, God only knows what they would have done with their military might. And rest asured, the US would have NOT gotten in their way. They're a super power not to be messed with.
I think people need to realise that large publications on the web are not free. Such as gamespot.com, Ars Technica...etc. I enjoy reading these sites. But I also know that the bandwidth to host the site needs to be payed for along with the editors keeping the page up to date. If you thought the web was slimming down in good (my opinion) content in this post dot.bomb, I can only imagine it getting worse as people are stripped for methods of generating revenue.

Yap yap yap. It doesn't matter how you slice it. But a class action lawsuit speaks in volumes.
I want the army to have battle mechs. Nuff said

So if I'm running Kazaa, can I be legally declaired an ISP. And thus, be sued directly?

Yes, it is possible...or will be in the future. In nature, priori knowledge is called instinct.

With a large enough heatsink, I could put a few slices of bread between the fins. Not only will this new CPU toast your data, but your breakfast too.
Ya...maybe with a porno flick in one of those XXX video stores. Just a thought.

Just send a probe to an astroid and have it programmed to attach itself to it. Then, fire it's on-board retro-rocket to "push" the astroid off track.
Yes, they will. After all, there is a war on drugs. Jesus, your such a fucking morron! *Smacks the back of your head*

Yes of course they are. Because they are easer to ride. DUH!! Gee, like that one was hard to figure out.
