    true!

  2. nvidia on NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI Intel Edition Launched · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sure benchmark is good when it reflects what most gamers have at home. ---- Sure they score 20 gazillions points with 3dmark but it's almost a machine fit for nasa that would cost around 3000$ to buy. ------ why cant they use a normal machine like a pentium IV 2,4 ghz with a ultra-ata 166 and 1 gig of ddr 400.That's more common and more realistic.

    The it department compromised the file system by being careless on who has access to the data.If it's that easy to get password and login info over the phone or even on the internet like "forgot your password" option, maybe they should change all of their IT staff.

    Well addiction is when you cant possibly think you could not live a single day without playing your game,eating becomes irrelevant and peeing becomes a waste of time.

    i think your responsible for what you say,even on the internet, free speech doesnt mean you have the right to accuse or insult somebody based on something you read that may or may not be accurate. If you cost someone's job by posting something on the net, then this person should have the right to sue you, unless it's child porn or political screw up that gets the common people paying for something illegal. So this comes downs to ,you have the right to say whatever you want but be prepare to pay the consequences.

  11. Re:They really got it together last season... on More On Save Enterprise Donations · · Score: 0

    F.Y.I the reason they all speak english is because of a little gadget named UNIVERSAl TRANSLATOR,,wich enables humans to understand other language, works both ways (in the series)try to follow a story when you just hear weird language ,it also helps them get rid of subtiltes.

  12. star trek on More On Save Enterprise Donations · · Score: 0

    Arent people tired of watching the same ideas over and over again? I mean,they always use the same themes,no originality whatsoever.They always have an intriguing or wannabe special character like spock,data,7 of 9, odo, and now hum!!! another vulcan with breasts...if we follow that pattern we'll end up with another start trek series with another androidm but this time he' going to have human emotion and will want to revert back to simpler equation while battling cowboys rangers on a fifth dimension wormhole created by too much warp engine. It's all the same, give it a rest FOREVER! It was good but it's gone,,,no more return of the dead series pleaasse

  13. Easy on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 0

    put a MAC OSX, a Windows xp/2000 and a linux O.S. with the same guy with the same software installed and loosely the same hardware and productivity will be base on how good this person is with the Software. Given time, everybody can be productive on any type of platform, it's just knowing the tools and commands and making the most of it. Every O.S have flaws ,but some of these flaws will seem bigger depending on what you use the machine for. Get a Mac graphic artist on a windows after he's been using a G5 MAC,,,damn he'll cry is hearth out saying it's the slowest thing in the world and that it's easier with Mac and graphics are better etc..etc.. Cant compare apples with tomatoes.

    If people are going on warez on job time you will probably know if you check your proxy! if you have any! i know i check often just to see if soemone installs or download something i dont like. and even though .rar are not files found in basic installed software config,,a good admin will manually put it there and put several others executable files,,depending on how secure you want to be you could also block ,ppt files.. but you have to wonder,,,do i want to stop having powerpoint jokes,,,or secure the network? hummmm hard

    i dont know why people want to save this serie......i was a huge start trek fan until each series started using the same damn themes over and over again (except for deep space 9) enteprise is just a lame copy of star trek original series ,,,far west theme...medieval theme,,,alternate reality theme,,,,,,,,overall they should have stopped after deep space nine....
