What I was reply to XP is slow? On what machine? Granted it drags ass on a 400Mhz laptop but otherwise I've never notice it to be slow. Now for other issues I can start a long list. Which suggested anything over 400MHZ shouldn't have any real problems, that is pure BS even with a lot of RAM XP runs like a cripple.
Maybe because you SHOULD be sticking with Windows 98 (or 2k would really be better) for a dated 750mhz machine. I don't recall anyone saying anything should be fast on it... If you believe Microsoft PR and fanboys (but you seem more sensible than that) every version of windows was faster than the last. I am sticking with 98 (can't be bothered to pay for 2k, 98 works) that's part of my point that installing XP on low end machines is a waste of time and reduces there usefulness, also having an old machine with 95/98 is handy for older applications Etc.

well my dads old 750Mhz limped along with XP when it ran Win98 fine he has now gone back to 98. 98/95 ran fine on my old (now dead) 350MHZ desktop. XP is slow when compared to other OS including older windows OS.
Used this desktop in the past and while exceedingly cool it's not particularley practical, but who care's about that this is a cool desktop to show off.
Think about it -- someone with a clear flaw stands atop their ivory tower proclaiming perfection. You can accept their conclusion, refuse to purchase the product, or purchase it and fix it yourself.
Or take them to court for selling a product that doesn't work as advertised or satisfactorily. If I had brought a PSP and it had this problem I would take it back and any reputable store would take it back without a problem especially if it is a known problem.
And even if it is possible to build a PC the size of a Mini Mac with exactly the same specs (performance, weight, cost, color and whatnot), I bet not many people are going to rush out and get one soon.
Ditto for the Mac mini i don't know many people except mac fans who know of existence and only the really serious mac fans have plans to get one.
That rock crushes scissor.... but scissors cut paper and paper covers rock, kiff we have a conundrum. Take the prisoners back to the ship and bring me a rock.
It depends, I'd rather say they're here to symbolically ask him to deny its constitutive rights : the problems is that they don't apply in European countries, unless they stick to the local code of laws... Maybe in England but IANA(English)L
Any rights you have can not be changed (not even by yourself) under English law, hence some legal disclaimers on products that say you can not return a product then under that it say This does not affect your statutory rights i.e. you can return for variouse resons for example if it was not fit for the purpose that it was sold.
I thought i would never have to cross swords with an Atari swine ever again;), those where the days constant and pointless schoolground argument over which was best (Amiga obviusley). Now the younger Win/Lin/Mac crowd carry on the pointless jousting (the older crowd concede that there OS of choice might not be for everyone) and it's still fun to watch.
I'll be curious to see how the flying public reacts to the first accident or near accident on one of these things.
Personally, I welcome our massive economy-fare overlords. I fly constantly, but rarely have ever ridden in a 747. If they can take the bulk hub/hub passenger loads, I hope that will drive down prices across the network.
Probably the same way they have before when big new planes have crashed, they will be shocked but within a few months will forget (that is those not directly affected will forget) and after the first one they will hardly ever get reported. If you look at how many 747's crash you would how little fuss is made over the loss of life by anyone not related to the victims.
But back on point, Apple needs to stop these lock-in practices, they tried to do it in the early days of the desktop computer, and now they are again trying to do it now. And like the late 80's and early 90's Apple started out real strong, because they had an amazing product, but soon people realized that there is nothing out there for them when choosing Apple. I beleive you will see that in the next couple years with iPod.
Apple are the perfect example of a company that keeps shoting itself in the foot. They bring out good products that the majority of people won't want due to price and/or buisness practices, most people will only endure being ripped off once.
I have been playing HL2 and counterstrike source a lot recently but I don't size my colleagues up as potential targets. I play Rome total war a lot but I don't walk through town and think "that big bloke over there would be a perfect recruit for my legions" come to that I don't think about raising an army and invading the next county. When I play the crash parts in burnout 2 I can get in my car a not want to have a crash. After playing battlefield Vietnam I am not worried that there might be Charlie hiding in that bush over there
I must be mad because I can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Being serious for a moment I have had the effect they describe in the article after reading a good book but never after a computer game as they don't involve your own imagination as much were as in a book you have to imagine what the author is thinking of getting you more immersed in the fantasy.
And they will only release such "crippled" version in Europe where they are forced to, most likely; and WMP will be wired into the OS everywhere else. Bet on it.
This definition can apply to left or right equally. If you think the "nationalism and racism" is more in line with the right, consider the National Socialist party of 1930's Germany.
That is called on oxymoron the NAZI party was as social as a serial killer. Nationalism and racism is incompatible with socialism as they are anti social acts. BTW you do know that the USSR and NAZI's both considered themselves socialist despite having opposite ideologies, neither was true socialists.
GWB is more socialist than either of them simply by not being as anti social as them.
The really sad thing is the UN has more blood on its hands than the US right now, and Annan got out of it without any real criticism.
I presume your talking about Oil for food scandal it's a bit early to say he got away without criticism or that he even deserves some if he does I will be the first to do so but to prejudge is not very intelligent a denotes partisanship.
So by that reasoning the US and new York specifically is also sponsoring terrorists what with all those IRA members who hide out there and the money that was given to the IRA by Americans. By your reasoning Britain would have been fully justified in bombing the New York St Patrick's day parade knowing that despite a lot of innocent lives lost they would also kill a lot of terrorist supporters.
BTW proof needs facts not personal opinion and assumption.
Facism has got nothing to do with left or right it is to do with control. hitler Stalin and mussoline franco were facist only stalin was left wing. Saddam is a classic facist, no one could suggest he was a socialist. Any group or organisation that seeks to control others is facist left or right doesn't make someone a facist but right wing partys have tended towards control and left wing away altough the diffrence is slight.
Sure, extreme right-wingers are just as stupid as extreme left-wingers, but please learn which is which. Thank you.
They have been around for years (there less common now, probabley because there easy to spot) you know the ones where no matter what you click on it throws up more popups and you end in a constant race trying to close down IE windows.
unfortunatley i can't get to the only site that i know of due to the company firewall (it's a warez site)On this website it comes up with a message telling you that you must click yes to download there software (spyware) that allows you to acces there site, if you try and close the window it comes up with another saying something like youe must click yes for this to work and you can't back out end task is the only to get rid of it.

I have no shame
Wow did someone waste there moderator points on this thread. comeone waste some points on me as you don't deserve them and i have karma to burn.
The Ends never justify the means, people who belive they do are going to hell.

Why? because it's true and you don't have an argument if someone does. No wonder you posted AC.

Probably because it's still not much of an exageration.
At least you won't have the "buyers remorse"
