this is why I dont like most of the game stores these days, they allow a lot of crap to happen, they dont give the consumer what they want, and store to store, they're biased on different systems.
I remember when funcoland was around, it was great, it had to be my favorite store, but nowadays, since gamestop bought it out, there's not that great of a selection anymore, and few of the stores around here are biased towards xbox or playstation 2 stuff, and one has a gamecube section with 5 games in it. whilst another has a huge selection of all 3 major systems.. not to mention a nice PC gaming selection..
but I'm pretty disappointed in a lot of these stores these days, electronics boutique used to be a great store, then they changed names to ebgames, then I noticed a quality drop.
It's sad to see. now your best bet is to try to get to little ma and pop type gaming stores to get anything good, and older stuff that's not supported by the industry anymore. and hurry before they drop out of business or get torpedoed by the big chains.
thing is, this isnt a political campaign, maybe with some people, there's a political agenda for it, but linux torvalds never intended for this to spark politics. he was basically making something that would work.
so to call this a cold war and other political euphanisms, is off..
it's just technology people, not two governments and countries.
and dont argue with me about all the political crap surrounding linux's existance, because that doesnt matter in what I'm saying, linux isnt a political move, or else it'd just be as shoddy as windows.
if these sell for computers, and at a good retail price, viewsonic's in deep shit, most of their projectors are fscking between $1500 and $3000
this would be great to see in use for computers, then people with laptops need to show a quick presentation, they can plug one in quick and show it oog, or laptops with these built in.
not to mention we are exposed to background radiation every day. everything has radiation, even our own bodies emit radiation.
and radiation is a broad term, radiation doesnt automatically mean poisonous or deadly.. there's heat radiation, ultraviolet, light, microwave, radio, and many many others. not all harmful, some are, etc.
most nuclear radiation, however is deadly as hell, and extreme amounts of xray and gamma radiation can be deadly, etc. basically, just live life, you're gonna die anyways, so just live life the best you can, because if you die, it was just your time to go, no one lives forever, you just make best to avoid most bad situations.
Chernobyl was one that could have been avoided, but because some engineers were fooling around, and werent using good safeguards, they got burned, and so did a whole lot of other people. (figuratively speaking.) Personally, I think the government of Russia should pay those who lost their homes, and relatives in the disaster if not already.
Chernobyl was a bad incident, worse than anything that has happened in modern day america.
just isnt as hyped because a buncha "ruskis" were killed and the american attitude against russians and the world's attitude as well, and because they were commies. This has often been downplayed.
I bet if 3 mile island had breached and gone the same way, there would have been national and all sorts of sympathy, TV shows, memorials, etc towards it. the Victims of Chernobyl were simple evactuated, stripped of their clothes and money and belongings, showered down, and then left to deal with it. Their Government didnt care at the time, and prolly doesnt care even today, even though it's all been changed to democracy.
Not to mention this event impacted many Eastern European countries who dealed with the nuclear winds.
it isnt so much the democracy part, it's the capitalist market part that's a pain in the ass, if you look up captitalism in an old webster's dictionary, you'll get a reference to the definition of socialism. and socialism is where one entity controls everyone.
and last I checked, socialism and democracy dont play well with each other.
thing is, capitalism can be limited, but money speaks louder than words, so money allows corporations to control things, make new laws and decisions, whilst people are left in the cold, being controlled by who has the biggest land grab.
what operating systems did the 19 out of every 20 run? and or who ran them? I can bet the ones not infected have unix or linux based stuff, or users who dont use IE.
most spyware comes from using internet explorer or windows.. have I yet been infected by spyware in linux or using a mozilla based browser, and goes to shows how many people deserve to be in the college for wisely thinking how to keep their computer spyware free.
Americans, get your toy lightsabers, and the chinese will get their 5 dollar cheaply built light guns that make 5 different noises every time the triggers are pulled!
fun for the whole family!
actually, that'd be pretty funny to watch a buncha people in space suits hitting each other with toy lightsabers.

if the city of toronto believes this crap, then it shows what leadership that city has. what needs to be pointed out is the fact that the transition isnt cheap, but, it's very well worth it because in the long run, their spending costs will go down quiet a bit, because the rest will maintain itself. set up some crontabs and voila, all the machines can stay properly updated.
the whole WLS thing should be illegal IMHO, that's like someone setting up a waiting list on your house, and pressuring you to pay extra money to keep your property though you've already paid for it and paid it off.

wouldnt a hand powered charger be a pain because you still couldnt play your game because you'd be busy charging the damn thing. so what's the point?
I still prefer MY handpowered hardware.

So did I after pumping napalm in the tunnels in my back yard.... killing all life in my yard, but alas! the gopher came back!

wouldnt be too shabby.
so that's why all his games get bad point and are buggy and generally crap and have no real content?
good, so if Derek Smart actually ever takes someone to court, he'll be laughed out of co--- nevermind, wont matter, they'll laugh at him anyways.

you dont need to reinstall your system, just get a rootkit checker for solaris.
nope, not even elks, unless you do some really good stripping down.
of course, that's to say if it even is 8086.
pretty much not.

use "Xfree86 Xserver" and it bypasses it.

I believe microsoft should fire their security chief .
