  1. the question is.. on Solar Flares Shield Astronauts from Cosmic Rays · · Score: 0

    Doesnt solar flares create large magnetic fields? so is it better to be bombarded by a lesser evil?

    I know that there is no extensive research about damage done by magnetic fields but they are people that think that being exposed to those is as dangerous in the long run, no?

    any way you put it Hotmail for me is still just a dump e-mail for filling forms or annoying "be a member" for downloads purposes.

    I have so much crap coming in each day and the undesirable filter is pretty useless, i cant say how many times i have receive the same e-mail from the same sender and it still keeps getting through.

    Gmail is way better.

    That should not be the main concern. The main concern is them buying known ad company and removing them from their anti-spam list or other security programs.

    But i guess it can happen in any anti-spam or removal tool. There's always someone there to pay extra money so they can be removed from the list. So is there a really good one out there?

    The way John Carroll sees it, Microsoft doesn't get enough credit for all the technology it invents. The company's understanding of the marketplace, argues Carroll, has proved fertile ground for many of"

    Sure every Newly created worm and other type of virus made for Windows are made just for Microsoft mostly and are in fact born because of them.

    just buy a used ibm or compaq thinclient. They are quite nice looking and very small. Cannot be upgraded easily since everything is so compaq but you can get a p4 1.8 ghz with 40 HD for under 300 $ with 2000 on it. Whatever you want to put as an o.s is your business after that.

    Web software is good but in house software.
    If microsoft thinks that it can make their office and O.S strickly work on-line and make the end-user pay per use .he's bound to get lawsuit from everyone or people will change OS all together, it's going to be cheaper to make peopel learn something that looks like MS than paying them for everything.

    Oh yeah sure i want to wait 6 hours to download a 4 /8 gig movie over the net and bust my ISP's maximum download limit each month.

    Geez how cool can you be when you say; hey in 6 hours i'll have this movie downloaded. Oh gee i got to the video store and bought 3 movies in less than a hour with the case and all the goodies.

    Loser features,, like downloading crapy music from the net,anyway.People dont see the difference specially kids because they listen music on MP3 players and look at a movie on their computers so standard are lowering for the media.
    Nobody can tell that a MP# player the size of a credit card has the same output quality of a cd player , more convenient and a lot more songs i agree, but it's not to be compare.

    Same thing with dvd downloads, If you dont burn your dvd on some media you risk loosing what you bought over the net and one double layer cd cost like 9$ canadian, add the price they would charge for one dvd (at least 10$). It's not worth it one bit

    there is no advantages to download over the net except to get fat and lazy people grow in numbers.

    As fot the governor, it's just a face to greet people, he or she has no power whatsoever.

    They should integrate this technology in a headgear with digital projection on the retina or the glass itslef so when the shot is heard there is a marker on the glass that shows you excalty where to look.

    But the goverment still insist to keep a Governor in attendance and have the queen fly here when a prime minister is assermented! That's pretty pointless. We should have a president (not an american one) Like any indepedent country and get rid of those costly monarchy visits.

    Kill the senate too, it's just a place were old geezers are sent to ensure that they keep a salary (friends of the prime minister) they even have a rule that attendance is required only for a couple of days per year, we pay for that type of shit.
