Of course it is worse than they first said it was. The standard rule of spin control is to admit to something small and then hope it blows over.
Bill Clinton admits to trying Marijuana BUT he didn't inhale. Nobody asked if how many times he tried it, whether he bought any for himself and if he still used it.
Paris Hilton got caught driving drunk so her story was she didn't eat that day and had ONE drink. She registered something like.1% which is more than one drink, empty stomach or not.
"...Will user-generated video sites increasingly confront visitors with the disturbing possibility that the video they're watching is not a home video at all, but a sophisticated ad campaign?"
They're being way too anal. Who cares if it is commercial or a home video? Not me, I just want to be entertained. Stop being a stick-in-the-mud and post away.
This is a flawed system. It has too many assumptions. It assumes that a little problem with the hard drive is automatically an earthquake. It could just as easily be from too much bean-dip and burritos for lunch. It also assumes that connections stay up during a quake and that the roof doesn't come down. Neither of these is true in a magnitude 6.0 or greater quake.
The best motherboards for nVidia cards are the ones with nForce 4 chipsets. Those also have a NIC and a sound device built in. Linux support is no problem either.
Seriously, I have a Commodore 64 sitting right next to me hooked up to a dos box as a hard drive. Data is data. You just need a x1541 cable. There are lots of free software tools to facilitate this, and the d64 and t64 formats are well supported. You can even use audio tapes and a soundcard to transfer files. Once you have the data on the PC, there are multitudes of C64 emulators to run the software directly. I've been doing this since the late '90s. Google is your friend.

Honestly, there's not much in Tennessee that's special (I've lived here for all 18 years of my life), so I wish they'd actually TELL us about the awesome stuff we _DO_ have near us.
Jack Daniel's, the Great Smoky Mountains and Graceland to name a few. Its all in how you look at things.
What I really want to know is who the fucker is who deliberately pees all over the toilet seat and floor at work. I know people might hate their job and feel frustration, but is there any reason to take it out on everybody else?
... "The liberal media in Canada makes it seem like Canada is ignoring the terrorist elements in the world. I'm glad to hear the cops are on top of things."
By focusing on trivial matters, like a lost iPod in the shitter, Canada is ignoring the terrorist elements in the world.
It is the first time I've ever seen a "Post to Slashdot" icon on any news item....
It isn't very useful yet--it only goes to the submit screen, most of the fields are blank and it doesn't even fill in the URL of where you clicked on the "Post to Slashdot" button to get here.
Don't fret, Slashdotters. I have just passed this message to the one person in the world who can solve this serious problem--That's right--Mr Bill Gates. He has some free time now that he's cured the world of AIDS and fixed our spam problem.
what is stopping them from having a breast/butt implant that is full of explosives instead of silicone??? detonating with a timer or remotely... (heh, thinking a titty twister would set it off?)
That would work for males as well, which is good, since females are not usualy allowed to be martyrs.
Prostitution is illegal in Vietnam although I've never seen a foreigner being arrested/prosecuted....
No if that's what you're into, Cambodia is the place to go except I don't know if prostitution is officially sanctioned (there is an active campaign against child prostitution thank god). Singapore(!) surprisingly has legal prostitution (probably to give gum chewing addicts something to do).
sorry don't keep a blog (don't know how to and don't think I'd have enough to say really). not even smart enough to completely figure out how to your add*;)
Or take IE 7. Please. I use IE for one thing and one thing only: The magazine's Web portal requires IE to post articles, and because I post WinInfo articles every day, I need to use IE. Every day. In IE 7, the rich edit control that forms the basis of the third party ActiveX control we used to post article bodies not only doesn't work, it is actually deprecated in Vista so that it will never work, even if you manually install it. That means I will have to use an older version of IE, in a virtual machine, to post WinInfo articles for the foreseeable future. Stupid.
All third-party ActiveX controls are gaping security holes just waiting to be exploited in Windows. Now that they are gone this guy misses them. Surely someone can whip up a OSS solution.

That's okay since the high-performance drivers come with the video card.
Why don't you volunteer to write for them? I'm sure they could use the help.

This is just a ploy to limit supply and keep the prices up for a longer time.
Yeah! The Irish drink too much and believe in Leprechauns.
