If the mainframe uses Motorola and not Intel chips, the power bill should be very reasonable:) That goes double for AMD. I could heat my house with one of those. If I had a house that is...
Man, that stinks. I thought it was bad here in old meh-hee-co, which I didn't think was so bad until I saw the bill! They rip you off bad down here. In Chicago, it was just the opposite. I went a whole three (count 'em) years without even a flicker. How did I know? My old Seth Thomas electric clock(the old synchronous motor kind. A million times more accurate than these fancy vibrating crystal types) never lost or gained even a half a second during those three years. If nothing else, city power frequency is spot on.(set by the atomic clock?) Maybe it ran fast and the power cut out for precisely the time needed to put it back on time:) In truth I couldn't begin to know what would happen if we all scattered and ran completely "self sufficient" power and grew our own food. I think now most people just like being conveniently close to their neighbors. That and being waited on hand and foot.
Always good to chat with you. I like your stuff. If you ever get tired of the cold, come on down to tropical paradise...If we "lose" the war while you're here, they won't be able to charge you as an accomplice:)
Knowing how "well" most people drive, do we really want this?. Air rage is one thing for a passenger, but quite another if the pilot suffers from it. These guys would try to arm it like a P-51. It would be Urban Fly-boy. As these thing fall out of the sky, the homeless could pick up the pieces to sell to the recycling centers.:) Uh oh, somebody's going to mod me as a troll for making fun of the homeless. I'm an equal opportunity offender. "If I had the money, I would offend everybody." - Can't remember who said that. Some movie producer, I believe, when asked if his movie would offend some people.
More and more time is being used to create the license du jour. Soon, Linux will cease being an operating system and will become a licensing system. We can't blame SCO for that. They're just a symptom of the IP madness we suffer from today. And for that, we can blame the printing press.(lousy Gutenberg...It's his fault.) If we want to put a stop to it, we must prohibit inventions, and destroy the presses so that this never happens again.
Thanks for relieving me of being the only one with that thought. I made a similar post a while back and boy, did I get slammed! Not by the mods but by others who refuse to see the connection. Like so many property crimes, this is a two way street, and this problem would hardly be noticable if it weren't for the customers. If nobody buys from fences or spammers or anybody like them, the problem will damn near disappear. I'm for any tech that can minimize spam,(and I do like this infiltration thing. We should apply this to gov't. Y'know, change it from the inside) but we need to address the social problem that their customers represent. This goes for many things like theft, drugs(if your into prohibition), etc.
Asking users to plug/unplug their network cable is just plain silly.
Absolutely. They should just unplug the damn computer, and settle down with a good book. Damn contraptions. It's so sad when I see some poor sales clerk have to punch in a 20 digit inventory code instead of the price when I'm just trying to buy a roll of transparent tape. They should be like ham radio...great hobby, but don't bet your life on it.
I hope you saved your post while it was a (Score:5, Troll). Not too many people get that honor. Just a little something to show the grandkids when they become old enough to post here. I kind of thought your post was reasonable. I'm mystified as to why it was moderated as a troll. I guess you may as well get used to being victimized by old metaphors. (you old bitty:-))
I also use Ghost. Best investion since toilet paper. (Ok, maybe the washing machine is better. Or the microwave oven. Or posiibly the VCR(to my mom, anyway)But you get my drift.) It's so nice to completely restore my system in only ten minutes. Did you ever try to get him to switch? Not trolling, just asking... If he's happy with what he's got, he should stick with it.
...btw, he's still using 98...
SE, right?:-) I think the last time I heard 98 being mentioned was when we were singing something about the numbers of bottles of beer on the wall.
Hey these are their rules. If they refuse to abide by them, then don't even think for a New York Second that I should have to. If it doens't apply to everyone, then you can't apply it to anyone. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. What goes around, comes around. What they're doing is just more evidence that THEY are the ones ripping off the artists, NOT the P2P'ers. They're(RIAA) violating signed contracts! Not some stupid EULA.("forgetting" to pay royalties...That's a good one) It's just another ruse to protect a business model that is no longer valid. And they're ripping off the public by denying them(us) the right to buy unencumbered equipment.
You have my humblest apologies. I just couldn't help it. I don't know what came over me.
What were we talking about? Oh yeah, bicycles and China. On the subject of China leading the way, we might find that they will be on the vanguard of many things to come. Without IP to hamper their innovation, they could easily surpass the U.S. and Europe. Their politics not withstanding.
And....? How would you like it? That I put a quarter into my CD player everytime I want to hear it? And that I should be forced to close my windows so that nobody else can listen for free? There was an outdoor "non-free" concert in Chicago a few years ago, and the cops actually considered chasing off anybody within earshot. Luckily, they realized the absurdity of that, but that they considered it just further exposes the madness. The publishing middle man is washed up, kaput, forget about it. They are the thieves, not me. The freedoms you enjoy today were brought to you by the "criminals" of the past. Try to remember that.
And so your point is that those black artists should not have been compensated?
I believe his point was that the industry ripped off the black atrists. He can correct me if I'm wrong. They stole from the black artists for profit. A much more serious "offense" than sharing.
The RIAA wants new laws passed because they want free money. They conveniently "forget" to pay royalties to their artists. They've been caught more than once trying to fix prices. Who are the greedy ones here? Neither side has the moral high ground here. But I'll still give it to the P2P'ers because they actually share their "ill-gotten" gains. They're not trying to profit from them. You can say what you want, but openly and freely sharing is a good thing. My parents taught me that sharing is good.
One of the lessons learned from Watergate is NOT put anything you don't want to come back and bite you on paper(or in that case, on tape). The other lessoned learned of course was to "burn the tapes".

And it's Y10K compliant!
Everyone please report to the near Homeland detention center for "reprogramming".
Get your cult history staight. That's deprogramming, bub. Off-topic. Are people still doing that?

What the Jewish mom name her Chinese step daughter? Sha-ping. Anyway...what I want to know is how many homeless people had to die to make this.

You are in category two.
So say you.
...regardless of power source is not as green as a regular pedal bike.
:-)
The waste product that comes from a regular pedal bike is brown.
This type of "green" transportation is nothing more than passing the buck due to most power stations burning fossil fuels.
Nah. They'll just put another turbine into the Three Gorges Dam.
...less than horses or sturgeon.
I'm a sturgeon

I don't believe it's (sharing music) wrong. Simply because somebody says it is, doesn't make it so.
This has nothing to do with the "buggymaker"
It most certainly does! Read this carefully, please.
