How is that supposed to increase your self-esteem really? If you already like yourself the way you are then it's not much of an incentive. And as for quality of life, I'm happy with mine the way it is. It should not be hard to understand that different people have different values when it comes to such things.
Maybe he has a real slow connection and doesn't want it getting overwhelmed.
I often cap mine at around 5k as I'll run multiple torrents at once. If I'm running only on i'll up the cap but often I have another program running that needs the bandwidth more, plus I prefer my upstream not to get so bogged down that the my IM, Chat, and Browser become useless.
But wasn't the winter when the Thames froze over a different event? I remember that taking place at a time when the sunspot activity had hit an all-time recorded low.
That's the inner solar system compared to the outer solar system. I've always heard inner space as a reference to inside the human body, but maybe that was just that movie. Damn, and I thought this thread was going to be about cyborgs because of that.
On most American roads the speed limit is so low and there is so much stopping for signs and lights that you end up with much more of a need for low-end acceleration that high-speed efficiency.
Sorry, but like many people I prefer wide-open spaces and suburbs to crowded cities, I like driving my car, and I usually don't have or want to waste the time to walk somewhere when my car can get me there in a tenth of the time. Yes, I am an American and I like it that way.
If you think RC Cola is Coca-Cola then or that Pepsi tastes the same as Coca-Cola then your taste buds must be half-dead as the difference is really obvious.
One thing I didn't like about my Shuttle SN45G, the blue power led. I would rather they had used the orange IDE activity light for the power and the blue for the activity light. The Blue is pretty but can be a pain in a dark room. Unfortunately there's no easy way to switch them as they're soldered right to a circuit board with the power and reset switches.
>1. YOU might not like skinnable software, but it's the 'in' thing and whether you like it or not, it's not going away.
Skinablility is a nice idea, especially when you find the default skin to look plain ugly. One of the reasons I stuck with WinAmp 2.x was because my skins wouldn't work on WinAmp 3.x. That and WinAmp 3.x sucked anyway.
>3. Cold cathodes might be "old news" now, but only if you've seen a few dozen. Don't lie and say the first time you saw a case like that you didn't say, "Sweeeeeet".
It's like the acrylic cases. It was neat when you saw it the first time and the person had built it by hand, it was na artistic thing. Now I go to the computer show and see them being sold all over the place and it just looses the uniqueness that made it so special.
I'm perfectly happy with my Shuttle SN45G. Very minimal design with a nice brushed aluminum cover. That's more stylish than any fan-filled, windowed, neon-lit tower. Just like how a stock Ferrari looks much more stylish than any modded Civic or Eclipse.
Now that's an interesting thing. User-Friendly has been going downhill for the last four years and Penny-Arcade has been getting funnier for the last four years.
The first couple years of UF were the best while the first couple years of PA really sucked.
There will not be much quality of life on Earth when the population gets above 10 billion and we can no longer afford to spend the resources or have the space to build the ships to take people to other planets.
I for one welcome out new methane-breathing undersea overlords.

It has been found however that people of south asian descent often carry a gene that makes them much more suspectible to SARS, which is part of the reason it caused so much havoc over their and hardly anywhere else.
Alistar Renyolds 'Revelation Space' series of books is another example. In fact, there is a war going on between two human factions, one who heavily augments their brains with nanotechnology and another who is quite revulsed by the concept and makes it look evil in their propaganda techniques.
A friend of mine had a stereo in his car with some voice controls. After he tried to change the volumn by saying "Volumn Up" in a neutral tone several times to no avail, it was when I screamed "Turn the volumn up now!" that it finally did so.
That's what we need, machines that can tell when you're getting mad and react according before you go off to get the 'adjustment hammer.'
My biggest beef with Snow Crash was the ending. Not only did it not really have an ending, but it went on nearly two chapters after it could have ended, like a movie with an extra twenty minutes of pointless exposition.
My other big beef was the non-linear use of time in several chapters near the beginning. For a while I could figure out if I was readin about the future, past, or two things going on at once. Those chapters really needed to be arranged better as they seemed to be written out of order.

Hey, I wouldn't mind one for these Chicago winters.

The extra capabilities would be nice, but I don't think I'd like to have eyes that can be fried by an EMP blast.
Oh come on, you know it was funny.

The plutonium on in the radioisotope batteries onboard galieo wasn't the right kind for nuclear fission anyway.
And the Glock isn't the prettiest handgun in the world but it certainly is reliable.

Ozzy could do it, he can do anything.
