gmail also has a hosted solution. you sign up, point your dns to gmail's mail servers, and can have all your email go through email. You can even create accounts, mailing lists, etc. Right now they appear to be limiting me to 25 users per domain. Works really well. you can pop3 off their system too.
I had a friend who died at a young age from a terminal disease, he was in his early 20's.
His IRC client stayed signed on for about 6 months. Everyone knew he was dead, but we kept him oped in the channel. It was a bit freaky, but it was good having him around in spirit.
Not sure what happened, I guess his shell account was deactivated... and his client was gone.
no, it's not a good thing. You're assuming that this will allow you to get lower rates, but in reality what this does is allow them to charge some people MORE.
It's because they did not have the centers of manufacturing that the north possessed
when you are faced with a national emergency, whether natural disaster, disease, war, or any other calamity, you have to retool your factories to meet the demand of that emergency. If you do not have the factories to begin with, you lose.
The neogeo was never a mainstream console. It was the internals of an actual arcade system. It used giant carts that cost a lot to produce. Games were typically in the $300+ range, each. But given that this was an arcade game, you might actually save money vs dropping in quarters.
Thats exactly why I always head to the drive in theater. Sure it's a pain when someone nearby smokes, or people drive around the lot with their lights on... but it costs $5 a person, and I can bring food with me (usually mcdonalds or burgerking from across the street).
Or I can head to the theater, pay $8.50 per person, and $5 for a soda... and some jackass will sit there talking on their cell phone during the entire movie. blah. In my car I roll up my window and turn up the volume:)
Do some research before spinning. Clinton gave out his own share of no bid contracts. This is how the US Gov't does things simply because trying to research and find the best price and best company takes time and effort. Something that can't always be done due to time constraints.
I thought you were kidding when you said it was slow. So I tried it out for myself, the iframe-ish search results is unusable. I can't even look at the results beyond the first page...
fuck me. That's some horrible spelling. The signs are BRIGHT blue. Since any object can contain scripts, you can even have the scripts pester people who are in the area.... poorly designed scripts can lag an entire server.
Since your land fees (Called Tier) are based on the amount of land you own, there are people who buy up the 16m of land (very tiny spots an avatar can barely stand on) and put up anti bush signs. They do it under the claim of free speach, but then turn around and sell the land at insane prices. They are essentially extorting money from people because the signs are brought blue, spin around and block the landscape. They then position the signs in front of people's windows and... well, you get the point.
SL isn't nearly as great as it's made out to be in the media. Even their best example - Anche Chung was banned from SL and their forums the other day. Moderators were then unleashed to remove any thread about her ban.
The only people making income are the land barons who buy up huge sims (servers) then sell off the land. It's a lot of work to cut it up and sell - and the profits are small unless you do this large scale. To get that kind of scale you'll need 10's of thousands of dollars invested. There is already a land glut and the profits are hard to come by even with a lot of money to invest. Because of the land glut, the market is facing inflation. We're seeing over $300 second life dollars per $1 USD.
If you want to try your hand at developing land to run things like casinos, malls, etc. You will have to upgrade your account to a paid version. You then need to find some land to buy. The monthly fee on a fairly modest 16,000m plot of land is $75. The initial cost for that amount of land is around $300 - $400. Much of the main land has no rules besides "PG" and "R" rated areas. So people build horrible objects and structures. The more prims an object takes up, the more lag the area gets. Anyway, people have issues selling clothing, skins, etc. because there is no way to prevent others from stealing them directly from the local client's graphics cache or directly from video memory. People steal then resell other's work.
You also have to watch out for gotchas in the game. They have rules such as a user needing to belong to a group that owns the land, in order to set "Home" to that location. The problem is, if your land is owned by a group, and you sell the land, all members in that group get an EQUAL cut of the selling price of the land. This is not something they mention to you when you click SELL. So if you're selling a $500 USD plot of land and you get $4 back, you'll not be too happy. Calling SL's tech support will yeld such gems as "If you were planning on making a mistake, you should have called us up before you made the mistake and we'd be happy to help you"
I don't want to rant on too much about it - I haven't even gotten started on the negitives... but there are some positives to SL. But the hype is about making money - something that is extremely difficult. Most are lucky to even break even.
I have the business fios version of his package. the same 15 down, 2 up, but I also get 5 static ips and the ability to run whatever services I want. So I have a mail server, dns server, a few webservers, and it runs great.
This is a huge advancement.
I just found out that sex is as big in news as it is on the web. Also, you can get just as much sex locally as on froogle. Damn that internet is useful.
Slashdot Mirror
If you watch that channel, you'll notice they do this quite a bit. I think the graphics guy is dyslexic or something.

... so what we should take from your Betamax example is that Apple should offer more porn than Dell?
That's why I always aim for the face.

It's the left and right hand on the same body.
NT
I've been running it on my laptop for the last 4 months.
Almost all the issues I've had have been slowly worked out over time. I don't currently have any complaints. Running both KDE and Gnome.
It's even worse than that.
why did the south lose the war, class?
It's because they did not have the centers of manufacturing that the north possessed

Don't worry. Their new cpus are down to 65w. Of course the new ram will use up 400w instead of the old 130w.... but it's the cpu that counts, right?

Uhhhh. How about you do some research about MS' history, then get back to us on their ability to innovate.

you mean besides the fact that ibm made powerpc chips?
Get started in stead of whining about it.
