Just another cost of supporting users who install the software. Most of these hijacked Windows boxes are a result of a user wanting to see Britney Spears naked.

I downloaded the file in the hope that perhaps Microsoft had released some sort of public beta. The file unzipped, and to my delight the Microsoft icon looked genuine and trustworthy.
When was the last time Microsoft released ANY program on a P2P network?
OK, I gotta hear the answer on this one. Name me a music store that is cheaper than iTMS, where you can get un-DRMed music that you can keep.
If you look at my first post I never said I wanted non-DRM music. I want native support for my Rio music player. In order to play music from iTMS I have to burn a CD and then re-encode.
As I said before I like iTMS because of the great interface. I also download music from Walmart. At 88 cents a download, it is cheaper than iTMS and the format is supported on my portable. The DRM isn't too restrictive and the audio quality is great.
Yes I could do that but it is just one more step I must do in order to play the music I purchased on my non-ipod player. I purchase music online because it is convenient. This is not convenient.
I'm sad to say that Apple may once again lose to Microsoft. Microsoft's DRM hasn't been cracked yet. If this continues the major labels may decide to back Microsoft and shun Apple.
I do not have any problems with Apple's implementation of DRM except only supporting the iPod. I love the ITMS. Finding the music I want is much easier for me than some other sites I have used.
I'm torn between supporting Apple, a company I respect, or using another music service where I can get my music cheaper and supports my portable player.
Question. What does someone's sexual orientation have to do with their accomplishments? The fact he was homosexual means nothing.
Is there an anti-gay bias in the media, sure. When people do not understand something they tend to not talk about it.
So, any time someone says gays are just a bunch of promiscuous, stupid sinners, ask them if they've ever heard of Alan Turing
This is not true for most homosexuals. This is also not true for most heterosexuals. The fact however is that the crazy minority get all of the attention. This is true for all groups of people.
I did call Dell. The problem is that they will not listen to you. You just have to play along with their little game until their troubleshooting sheet matches the problem you know you have.

Just another uninteresting fact that is taking space in my brain.
And expect to spend a lot of time doing your own support. This includes troubleshooting hardware issues, shipping out your own hardware for warranty requests, and waiting with no machine until they return.
I build systems for myself and often for family and friends. When my parents needed a new computer and I was at college I suggested getting a Dell. Big mistake.
According to my parents the computer worked fine for a few days but then they heard a clicking noise when the computer was turned on. Of course they called me and needed help. I could hear the noise over the phone and knew it was a defective hard drive.
After they called tech support in India five times they decided it was a bad power supply. I come home from spring break and the power supply is there waiting to be installed. I asked why they sent a power supply. Now I was stuck calling tech support and begging for a new hard drive. I could tell the people at the other end were reading a script. I finally convinced them after three calls the hard drive was bad and they sent a new part.
The moral of this long story. If you know how to troubleshoot/repair computers build your own. You may save money, you may not. At least you will have some control over the repair/replacement of parts.
With the release of Windows 2000, many companies, including mine, upgraded our workstations. With the release of Windows XP a year of so later we saw no reason to upgrade. This is why I believe Microsoft is taking their time with the release of Longhorn. This theory has a flaw because today's hardware won't run Longhorn efficiently from what I have seen. Scratch that theory, I don't know what the hell Microsoft is doing.
By the time 2006 comes around our Windows 2000 workstations will probally be running Linux.

Technology needs time to improve and mature. This is something we refuse to accept today.

We are talking about browsers here. Konqueror doesn't count.

No, I would blame Firestone.

Classical music my fucking arse, you can't even spell.

it has gone far enough.
This normally is not my mindset however this must stop. It is bad enough to hear a cell phone but now I am FORCED to see your cute little message.
Punches self. Feels much better.
Processor ID's sucked
I never had a problem with Intel's processor ID. Every networked computer already has a unique MAC address. What is the difference?
But can it also record shows I don't like?
No, it can't. The engineers could not add this feature due to the cost that would be added to the final product.
There is no Jar Jar (*cough*) in episodes IV, V and VI.
That means that JarJar will be killed in episode 3. I'll pay to see that!
Up until now I did not think about that. Perhaps episode 3 will be the best yet.

I guess I should say official release.

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury. You must ask this one question....does this make sense? If the browser was hijacked you must acquitt.
Look at the silly monkey!!
It's really one of the few places left where one can go to be completely alone and unreachable. I find the bathroom to be my personal sanctuary.
what else can I say.
I guess if the person you are with also gets seriously injured, the man upstairs is sending you a message.
here is the google cache.
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
Burn protected AAC to CD Media

I think you did catch her attention and she did not like it. Enter the restraining order.
