Not very convincing Rui. I think we all know that you have no life and you love Java. Going to pubs wearing Java shirts and corrupting Slashdot are your favourite pastimes.
The difference between the 98% of labour and 99% of liberal is the people who don't get access to a landline phone. OR Maybe they will kill people who live in the outback.
I don't know I would say the Russians in power were sane, sure Stalin sounds cool and all but he was worse than a lot of very mad leaders out there. And as for Christians being safe, I'm just glad if my girlfriend ever need to seek the option of having an abortion we can do it easily in my country rather than risk being exploded or shot by an angry Christian. If you think all Muslims are terrorists than you can go on to say that all Christians will murder to stop an abortion or that all priests are pedophiles. Or as would probably get to you as an atheist that all atheists have no morals and are rapists, none of these things are true. All generalizations are wrong, even this one. The most dangerous thing for your existence is a heart attack, so I would suggest you stop claiming other people are dangerous and go jogging.
Uh I'm pretty sure they also don't want a mod chip coming out for the game, knowing the ins and outs of the systems would speed this process along a lot.
My answer, watch more anime. That way you will have seen more than one genre and 10 series. (Sorry to be rude, but there is a lot of anime out there where people just plain don't become strong)
If you stop watching the fighting/action genre of anime the problem disappears entirely. The same goes for only watching single season or dual season animes (watch out for these sometimes). Long length anime often has the problem of the whole gotta get stronger thing. After all Cowboy Bebop and Gungrave were 26 episode seasons whereas Bleach, Dragonball and Yuyu Hakusho are all long length. I would have to say that good outweighs the bad with anime, but if you like watching action genre then although I can't be sure of it, the bad outweighs the good but often only because it draws the series out and they do indeed get to much power inbalance.
Nope, I have an unlegit copy and you can make it update by clicking a few buttons. And piracy on vista will be just as easy. Well maybe not just as easy but give it a couple of years and it will be. Hell even though I could get vista for free. I'm not going to it is going to suck for a fair bit of time. 3rd party apps etc.
Energy use is rising exponentially, I somehow doubt that figure is used by anyone but environmentalists, the values are probably far less than that, although I do beleive that energy shortages may become apparent in 100 years, but guess what, they were right about it being farsical to point out any value on a whole, want to point a pretty value to be convincing?, use the value of new tvs made each year, and the amount that a change of design on those tvs would make, including the environmental cost of the batteries used to power an alternative idea (which is probably pretty horrible in terms of energy compared to come transformer wasteage), don't go spouting figures for saving power when most people don't buy a new tv every year they keep the same one for a long time. So you either use that figure or say there is a law to change it and you have to use a lot of resources for making new tvs. I agree that power waste is problem, but the fact is that most people can't afford the cost of electronics to fix this and yes people don't care.
The loss in resources is great, but hell look at any light in your house and leaving it on (which many people do) will cover for a lot if not all of the standby power you are using, and that is if that is a flourescent bulb. There are problems with power waste, but start with the things that waste more than the things that are horrible in terms of wastage.
AMD will deliver but not in the near future like the poster states. Quantum home computing is not going to be at any sort of a place to be worthwhile in the near future. There simply isnt a large enough market for such a thing at the moment, not to mention the amount of development time a completely new form of computing like this will take before it is ready for mainstream integration. But don't forget near future for computing is a lot closer than near future for something like biotech, we could be looking at 10-15 years before mainstream desktop implementation (if something better for desktop doesnt come along), I wouldn't exactly call this near future for computing, but to each their own.
I am always quite suspicious about donations to Foundations who bears the same name, it seems somehow like it is spending money on the donor's own interest's. And I doubt Gates has given the most money to charity EVER, that seems like a hyperbole to me. There have been a lot of generous rich people over the last few hundred years, and a few of them gave a lot of money, I have no facts to back this up it is just my opinion but it does seem a bit off-key.
Realistically it is the drop in hardware cost that has made computing big, that is where microsoft got it's first BIG break afterall, with IBM's PC. That made computers cheaper to buy so more people could afford them. If it was another company the same thing would have happened they would have become big maybe even by different buisiness practises but still would have become big. Open source is very old in computing terms but this would not have been the horse to lay a bet on as I doubt IBM would have trusted them with the non-disclose and it wasn's as mainstream an idea as it is today.
Just because nothing is broken or faulty for you doesnt mean someone else doesnt have a computer that barely runs on XP64, and they may be using applications that have a great deal of problems running on the 64 bit version of XP, just like when XP was early around there were applications that just plain wouldn't run on it. 64-bit Windows XP is still a new game and I doubt anyone is really putting a lot of effort into with Vista coming so soon (I mean driver developers more than Microsoft itself), I have no experience myself but I would think there would be more likelyhood of getting a good linux install running on 64-bit than a good Windows install, but this is often only the case if you have unsupported hardware or software requirements and you will probably have to build the linux from a low level like gentoo makes you do. But I'm no expert, so flame me all you want for having certain experiences or opinions.
Based in america yes, but are 50% or more of their components made in US, I think you would have a hard time finding any of them above 10% US made components.
The best example I have seen of this is what happens when an artificial diamond is put under uv light, it glows a brilliant purple(which looks amazing), natural made dimonds dont do this because of impurities but man made ones are far more pure.
The parent article says that man made diamonds are made in an impure environment which is bullshit, how pure does he really think coal in the ground is?. In a lab they would minimize the impurities as much as possible otherwise the whole thing would be pointless.
It also adds bloat to the code, takes more resources from the computer, means less people are actually able to play the game, causes more chance of bugs to show up. And generally pisses the end user off. Remember this isn't like the one time activation of Windows XP, this kind of draconian piracy checking is bad business policy. A great game shouldn't have things tacked onto it that make it worse, it should just be a great game.
This is the link for the network SP2 install, not the normal one, it tells you to wait for the normal one if your not on a network as it is a smaller file.

Honeycomb tablets run most of the phone apps, better than the ipad runs iphone apps (no forced pixelation like apple does).

I would be happy with my 1.5mbps connection if I could get an unlimited download plan.
Is that worse than letting telstra make it so expensive that any person living in country areas can't afford it?
You didn't have to try hard because you need such a big e-penis.
Then you deserve to go crazy from millions of LEDs watching you get busted fapping by your mum.
Hey, I get sex. It may not be with a person but that counts dammit.
I don't beleive in that crap, I'm saying that it is stupid to make the generalizations.

They will still have 10 years worth of it to use use for filler.

I was posting in reply to parent of parent, I put it on this post as I add to what he is saying.
