not that i approve such censorship, but i can understand it. when we see historic movies and play historic video games, it's only natural to believe it to a certain point.
take gladiator for example, the first time i saw it i thought it was more or less accurate, but i have read in many places how inaccurate it is.
bottom line, i don't agree with it, but it isn't ridiculous, they do have a point.

Is Swap Necessary?

isn't 640k enough for everyone?
people constantly make this joke, but seriously, at the time BG said this, it was probably true.
if today i say "1 gig ought to be enough for everyone" it is true, but in 10 years from now you will be laughing at this.
he never claimed it would 'ALWAYS' be enough (unless there is more to this quote???)
actually MS followed this rule, in win2k, the default swap size is set to exactly 1.5x your ram, was 176 for my 128mb system, and 384 for my 256mb system, not sure about XP though, someone fill me in (yes, some great minds working at MS)
how do you feel about spam and the weaknesses that spam reveals in popular mail protocols?
personally i feel it does reveal the weakness in the current email system. there is little accountability for who sends what email, all you have to work with is the smtp server used and ip it was sent from, any from: address can be forged.
you make a good point, but the reason this is different is we can't do anything about the email system. we are using SMTP protocol and we're going to stick with that for at least a long while more! therefore until we change this, we must combat spam and spammers
OTOH, microsoft has a great amount of power and money to work with their operating system to fix any security flaws/vulnerability in it. and they must do it.
Sorta like saying that all those burglers make us realize that we need to lock our doors. If the burglers weren't there...we wouldn't need the locks anyways.
but you have to think realistically. it is quite difficult to hold back ALL burglars. if we assumed there were none and didn't lock our doors, i'm sure you agree that would be quite risky.
i know it would be difficult, but we need a game for math/calculus, many people find it quite boring, personally i kinda liked history and a game wouldn't have helped me much
(btw, i'm not dissing math, i'm just saying what most people find)
personally i think all these worms may be worthwhile in the long run, i mean they DO make people and microsoft aware of the vulnerabilities of windows and its security problems.
instead of saying "we need to execute worm writers" maybe they should say "we need to secure windows"
I suspect you will not lose much weight if you play it with your keyboard, however.
i dunno, i just tried it and it seems pretty demanding even with your keyboard, you may get some workout;) (although obviously not as much as with a pad)
In town, anything I can do on a motorcycle, I can do on a bicycle, cheaper, and usually just as fast.
either you a) live in a town with horrible traffic, in which case this only applies to few people (most cities don't have traffic THAT bad). b) you're a superhero, in which case this also applies to few people.
this isn't a "troll" , maybe 'beautiful mind' wasn't accurate, but the submitter is obviously unknowledgable on the topic, which is why he/she is asking.
please try and understand the difference between "not knowing" and "being a troll"
i love the tab extentions plugin. allows you to configure many things for tab. such as open new tab in homepage, and open javascript popup windows in tabs. etc...

i know you were being funny, but games such as 'risk' and 'civilization 2' are not historic games (we all know that's not how it happened) ;) .

rtf is a simple format, it isn't even consistent among all programs, eg, ms word supports images in rtf, oo.o doesn't
you missed mine.
.abw for abiword, .swx for oo.o, something else for kword,
.owf (open write format).
in my opinion there are too many office products to compete with MS. they need to work together, especially a common save file format.
we have
IMHO they should work together to come with an open format common for all office programs, eg, something like
i know each support other formats, but sometimes there is a feature or two difference, leads to incompatibilities
just my $.02
nice to see it's growing, zeitgeist still shows a pitiful 1% though :(

it seems to be inconsistent at many times to fit the plot, i'm guessing this map is the most common layout
i was searching through puretracks, and i found the urban (rnb/rap) collection was quite limited, hopefully napster will fill this void
(and please don't start with the 'rap sucks blah blah blah' arguments)

this site is excellent, i couldn't stop cracking up after reading some of these

reminds me of an old comment i read:
Episode III: The Passion of Jar-Jar
it's just 2 hours of jar-jar being beaten.
actually, water pollution is becoming a problem in many parts of the US, in some places people only drink from bottled or filtered water
and again, this is not to the same degree as India, but it exists.
1600x1200 on a 17" is more like it.
that's overkill, everything is too small, 1024 is a "good" resolution for 17", 1152 is okay too but i wouldn't use it
if you want 1600x1200, you are looking at at least a 21" monitor
