Excuse me... Bull Farking Shit. It amazes me that people buy this thing. I am a drummer with 20 years experience and it's exactly the same motions and training. How do you think drummers learn timing? umm, by playing to albums, cd's etc. You could move that one pad and you'd have an electronic drum set.
I would bet that you could take one of these drummers, sit them in front of a kit, and they could actually PLAY a song. Not like that joke of a guitar thing.
My God! I have no talent or patience to learn an instrument so I'll spend close to the same amount of money to basically masterbate in front of a tv.
In my not so humble opinion, this is the biggest joke I've ever seen. If you can play this "game" you can play drums. You can buy a decent begginer kit for under $500.
In my opinion, nothing. You can register a.ca domain without becoming a member of Cira. Membership is only required for voting as far as I know.
The have become retarded lately. Too many "experts" trying to fix things and they have added extra steps for nothing. I'm thinking that it's a government entity for the dumb things they do. Kinda like make work programs to keep people in the maritimes employed.
I bought 5 thinkpads for about $50 and paid about $50 for shipping. Turned all into poor mans xo? laptops. They use less power and space than a desktop, play all my kids Jump Start programs and are easily portable.
Fix em up if you can and give em to a kids. I'm sure you could get at least a couple goin out of the pile, no?
I've put win2k on them and they seem to be fine for this purpose.
I have a little problem saying "scarce" about something we pump out 35,000,000 barrels/day of, but do you really think this is something we can just ramp up production of as we please?

Not to mention that after the last go-round we had with Prentice.. these assholes will be kicked out of office so fast their heads would spin. We do have a minority Government still and I think we're starting to appreciate that. We can threaten the politicians and they actually listen to us.
(then the sneaky bastards try shit like this though)I used to like Harper.. not anymore. I think he's going to be in for a rude awakening when he does finally call the next election. He's made lots of enemies out west.

Luser: Hi, I can't get my email.
Me: What are you using Netscape, Outlook Express?
Luser: Wordpad.
Me: Face palm... Do you have the box your computer came in?
I hate help desk with a passion. 90% of end users are too lazy and/or dumb to own a computer. I'll stick pins in my eyes before I do that shit ever again.
Support.. ya right.. this is the worst red herring I've ever seen. Who really gives a shit if you can call Microsoft with a problem with a seven or eight year old os? If you haven't got it figured out by now, give up and buy a Mac.
Does the world not have enough computer geeks anymore? The only time I've ever called Microsoft was to do the manual activation.
The people that will use Ubuntu know where to find it. This is also another red herring. There are simply far too many windows programs and far too many linux issues for Ubuntu to get anywhere near the install base as windows. I personlly don't think Linux will ever be "on the desktop" as the zealots proclaim.
Speed and traffic are two different issues although they do reduce the traffic with speed limits.
The big isp's only want grandma to check email once a week. They never want anyone to actually USE their connection as they are oversold to stay in business. They pay their upstream providers by the gig, doesn't really matter how fast you get that email.. it's how much email you get.
The worst I've ever seen was the satelite guys.. Piece of shit service.. they wouldn't touch your speed until you hit their 500 meg (daily) hard cap... then you went from 150kb down to 5kb. Try getting an iso on that shitty service.
Bots don't need a phone book.. they just call incrementally. I've had telemarketer call on an unlisted and number blocked phone. There's no way they got that number from anyone.. yet they called... and got hung up on.
WTF are you guys using? Pc chips mobos? It's real easy. Buy the best. My best includes:
AMD cpu
Asus Motherboard
Kingston Ram
Nvidia vid cards
Creative sound
3-com or Intel Network
LG Burners
Seagate Hard drives.
My shit doesn't crash.. ever. I've had the same pair of machines running for 2 or 3 years straight. Everything works.
If I want to play a game on my shelf that I haven't played in years, it still works on my new machine. Yes, I have a Wii, but that won't be replaced any time soon.
HA! I'm in Alberta. In the summer, the sun sets at 11:00pm with dst. I think it rises around 4:00am. An "all-night" drive in here is two movies and it's getting light before the second one finishes. I'm in the south.. the north is way worse.

Not scarce, just not as much as we're demanding.

Have you ever even used Google? Search for "something" Torrent ok?

"Official Support" is incredibly over-rated.

Canada has always been awesome!
I've been running off of one for almost 3 years now with very few issues. 99.9% uptime.
Netscape 7.2 is still working fine for me. Nice troll though.
