You shouldn't have modded down this person, they were only saying what they felt was right and meant no offense to anyone.
Throw these antisocial delinquents in the slammer for 10 years for each offense.
..and further isolate them from a society which has already cast them aside? That wouldn't help anything. If their virus seriously damages an infrastructure of economy, sure, go ahead. But just cause grandma's C drive got formatted doesn't mean Joe Viruswriter has to meet Big Birtha in the slammer...chill, man, seriously..
Well, theres a hidden FAP of 500MB for 4 hours, then it reduces its throughput speed to about 20 k/bps. Then for me it costs $70 a month. Usually it never bogs down for me. Also, the speeds have been improving for me. I started out with about 100 kb on a good day, now its about 150 kbps on an average day. I don't know, I'd say go with somethin else if you can, if not, then this is alright until somethin better comes around.
..but the Apple II platform's best days were behind it by then..
Actually, my old middle school's music class still uses about 8 or 10 of these because of a nice little Music-teaching program that eliminates alot of physical paper-work for the students. I myself used these when I went to the school and I found the IIc's to be in good physical condition as well as working to their original potential. The program was also very effective, in that almost every student that was in the class could play some songs on the piano after that. Nice little computer that definately continues to be useful in today's world of high-tech gizmos.
I knew that's what you meant, and all the "Audio Layer 1" streams I have seen have had the file extensions.mpg or.mpeg...Sorry, I didn't mean to be a smartass...
I remember reading about this snazzy new app that let me get "any song I wanted"..I HAD to have this wonder-software!..Immediately Napster was on my P1-200 with 32MB of RAM..I think the first song I downloaded was by Kidrock: Cowboy...I think it was...don't ask, I was 10 or 11 and very impressionable by my high school friends..:P
I remember asking my friends at my elementary scool if they knew what it was and it turns out I was the first 5th grader in town to get any song for free! heh.. (small rural town, mind you)
Ok, first off, GTA is a kick ass game and I don't care what you're lame-ass uneducated arguments are. If your kids are the type that would go off chucking molotovs at cars just because they were playing a game involving it, then blame yourselves and/or their environment, not the l33t programmers at Rockstar Games.
Secondly, as a 15-year-old mostly sane individual owning both games, I can say that this game has never tickled an urge to go off and cap a Haitian, African-American, Mexican, or any other race/individual out there. These games don't inspire hate crimes, violence, or anarchy...they come off as fun, because as we all know, guys like blowin stuff up;) (don't give me a terrorism gripe for that one..I don't wanna go there)...For me, when I'm mad at someone and feel like lettin off steam, I play this game or any other game where violence is ok, because I know that it will help me cool down. Half-Life works just as well, but I don't see any states trying to shutdown Valve or Sierra's creative gaming departments because some nerd with a rich dad attempted to create inter-demensional transports and end up blowing up a city block.
Bottom line: These games are fun, honest, and creative attempts at revolutionizing the way games are meant to be played and NOT a call to violent, illegal, and immoral action.

It'd be the host OS, which in this case is Windows. I don't see any other way for it do that without routing it to both.
using Linux in this way makes me feel so dirty...ugh..get chills thinkin about it

I'm such a karma whore...

Am I the only one praying this damned company falls victim to a plethora of DoS and other fund-expendature attacks?

MPEG and MPG is mp1.

Illegal? Sure. Immoral? Iffy. Fun? Definatly
Wel, hey, that's my submission..
"Microsoft" and "support" don't belong in the same sentence together
Dude..wtf?
A bit harsh for recording/distributing a movie... What next? Bamboo-lashings for music-swappers?
