Were it not that I have already purchased my Intel Mac and have no real need for a cracked OS X, I would love this. I would install it and quietly use it. But, having said that I would hate myself for it.
Wow. Good to see someone so out of touch. Check your school funding, teacher salaries and "social problems," and you will find it to all be rubbish. NYC schools spend over 14k a year per student. If you want a real reason, look to parent, teacher and student apathy. Well, apathy and a sense of entitlement.
Racism is not the same as bigotry. Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another based solely on racial traits. Bigotry is the dislike/distrust/distain of a people for being dissimilar.
With that out of the way, Western Union is not practicing either. The US government has rightly targeted islamic terrorists. Islamic terrrorist who, I might add, have openly attacked the US and threatened to kill more Americans. Western Union is abiding by the rules set forth by the US gov.
To those that get upset or disgusted or whatever strong language you want to discribe your negative emotions: How, pray tell, would YOU stop financial transactions fueling the terror? It is easy to point and be critical, much harder to be the one solving a problem never before seen.
So it seems that Sly and Sandra bullock are making a sequel. Ship ship the thing thing. You have to have ball balls to try that. Nevermind, it is stupid.
In a lot of states, only one side of a phone conversation needs to agree to a recording for it to be legal. If you call me and I agree that I can record our conversation, it is legal.
Before anyone jumps in and stirs the political pot, remember it is not only governmental use of "wiretapping" that you are subject to. Companies do too, and some of them are nice enough to tell you "This call may be recorded for training and quality assurance purposes"
Big bad big brother is watching, but not always from D.C.
Forget about ever taking one of thes eon an airplane. Methanol is a self oxygenating liquid, I believe, so it is very volatile.
Explain that to the airport police..."Really, it is a liquid fuel for my LAPTOP! Ow, that rubber glove doesn't help much for pain does it?"
I have much experience with Notes. I use it everyday as a email client, database client, helpdesk repository, instant messenger, etc. It sucks. Period.
Perhaps this is your forum to tell everyone about all the good things Notes has to offer and how it is easily configured to do all those wonderful things?
I didn't even mention Domino, that is a whole other level of monkey suck.
Not Trolling.
Realism in gaming is technology at its finest, please don't get me wrong here. I love that people are able to get the levels they do.
My problem with game relism is not just about my son and his age (he is 17 btw.)
It is the that people are being desensitized to violence. As games have gotten more realistic they have allowed people to dismiss the tragedy of violence against humans. Aliens and monsters not withstanding! Kill them!
Watch "saving Private Ryan" over and over and see if the opening scene gives you the same reaction it did before. That is my point.
I think my post was modded off-topic correctly, but I feel it a necessary subject to raise.
The other day I was watching my son play a FPS game and I thought "Wow, my son in really learning a valuable lesson in the sanctity of life here. Shoot your own guy for his ammo!" I started on 3d FPS with Doom and over time I sort of drifted away from games. Playing Doom I was shooting a bunch of really pixeled bad guys. Now they look and act pretty real.
The creepiness factor kicks in for me after a certain amount of realism. When do we stop with the terrain and model/skin realism, when we can no longer tell the difference between games and live-action movies? I hope for my grandchildrens' sake that FPS violence doesn't come to that.
People talk about Linux being complex, it is. People talk about Windows/Mac being easy, they are for the most part. When this discussion comes up I ask a question: How complex/easy are the tasks *you* wish to perform on a computer? Generally I find most people do not do much more than surf/email/office stuff/IM/multimedia creation and playback. All of these are about as easy on a good Linux distro as any other OS.
My wife's grandmother uses a computer all the time-- she's ninety. She does just fine with anything I put in front of her so long as the icons are the same and found easily. The problem for most people is not how difficult it is, but rather how different it is.
As for the complex parts of Linux, I believe a lot of savvy people sit down to learn Linux and get drawn into apache/Cups/Samba/etc by the books they pickup that profess to be "Linux Bibles." Very indepth knowledge about the intricate nuances of Apache aren't needed for daily usage. How many people setup a webserver on their windows/mac machines? BTW, have you ever read the Bible? Way too much info, so why would I want a Bible? Sheesh.
Finally, when people talk about their Grandmother/Grandfather using a machine, I have to ask if that age group is really the demographic to design computers or operating systems for?
I don't profess to know everything about kernels, but I believe modularized kernels address this, right? Last I checked my kernel supports modules. Hmmm
Microsoft throws money at its problems. Like most things in modern America more money usually means more success, right?
Bully: I am going to beat you up.
Geek: why?
Bully: I am bigger than you and I can, that's why! Developers!
Isn't Microsoft a software company?
At least from a lo-jack point of view. Any fool with a butt set--or single line phone for that matter-- can listen in on your conversations with a pots line. Of course any fool with a sniffer can do the same thing to your VoIP calls, but it requires a little more work than having your home/office address. Your physical address is graciously provided by the phone company in the form of a phonebook along with your POTS line anyway. Security is a myth anyway.
They need to drum up more exposure, what better way that an anti-trust case? I'm not saying they don't have one, I am sure they are privy to info I am not, but isn't it great AMD advertising?

What makes her hot? Her upside down vagina?
Finally a built-in multi-desktop. Oh and decent delta backup built-in as well.
I climbed up the rope and hid in my secret magic room until I felt rested. Then, I climbed down and did 10d4 damage to Fotino.

Sorry, I quit smoking last night and I am having a hard time diverting all the nervous energy. Forgive me, all.

Good job setting up the bait for the parting shot. Jump on four bandwagons at one time!

Notes won't suck monkey balls now?
Now I can use my magnetron to jam more than just cell/microwave towers!
Seriously, what brainiac decided this was a good idea?
Never, never, ever say something is unhackable. Someone out there with a much bigger brain than the developers will see it as a personal challenge.

Hey thanks! I knew it needed to be fix somehow, I just couldn't put my finger on it. When you're right you're right.
