I know Joe Sixpack and he doesn't care for anything you had to say there; they just don't care about any of it and use it fine.
Been running Vista RTM perfectly fine and can use all my old media just like I did in XP; everything is the same and nothing is being probed by Microsoft or any other fear mongering stuff that has been said before. Don't be afraid everything works fine and is just a little more organized; WMP11 works fine does not DRM my mp3's/video and the ripping/burning works fine on the program. Media Player Classic and all my other video/DVD/CD ripping software works fine like before.
I can still rip DVD's on my Vista RTM as I am running it right now. Majority 95% of my software works flawlessly just like in XP. Might wanna try it out before you bash it.
It is a small minority of people who are ripping the DVD's for their personal pleasure; the other majority do not care and the tech elite will go on to find another way to rip it if anything does happen. Oh yah just use a legitimate copy also.
Now maybe I have forgot some of the small claims court rules since freshman High School; but doesn't the amount have to be over $20 for them to even take it?
Judge Judy: "Alright so what are you two bickering over" User: "I was using Linux and they shut down my account" Blizzard: "We do not support it as stated. We rest our case." Judge Judy: "Well clearly you did not follow the dir-ect-ions!!!!!"
Windows does not need the Mac OS X market like the Apple needs Windows users to keep its Ipod successful; they can use them but they can gamble better on that they will end up with that consumber buying a Windows pre-loaded computer.
Whole DRM issue the vast majority of consumers who buy it just do not care. I would try the product first before doubting it; see what you can do with your existing library of mp3's because WMP11 does not seem to interfere with my old collection of MP3s/Videos/etc and I can still copy it wherever like before.
WoW on Linux? Didn't the common sense come out in an article awhile ago that it is better to not risk the unsupported OS; sorry to the minority but they want to keep things simple.
So even if they had internet I guess they would still be eating in front; either way they do not care and the broadband upgrades is not a high priority.
Thank you for mentioning eating but I get out to meet lots of people who have some of the widest variety of activities to do than any other person I have meet in another country in the world; maybe because of our climate and geographical location.
You would be surprised if you lived in Southern California at how many people go to the gym, run in the morning, hundreds of bike riders on P.C.H. or are out there with me surfing/swimming in the morning; theres stuff to do at night besides stay at home watching T.V. like going out to the bar to meet a girl or going to see a concert.
Yah we have an obese problem but we also have the greatest athletes in the world and you are forgetting we win the most medals in the Olympics; don't turn a blind eye to some of our greatest achievments and try not to single out the poor neighborhoods who do not have time to worry about their health. I will let you be the first to tell the African Americans in downtown L.A. that they cannot wait in those long lines to eat the greasy chicken or tell the Mexicans to start eating salad. (note: I am part Mexican my self)
http://wii.nintendo.com/games_list.html Red Steel, Super Mario Galaxy looks cool and interesting Legend of Zelda looks like a must buy for the system. Old school games I will like to play for awhile especially old school Mario and some N64 ones. Some or I should say the majority are really too childish, but I have hope in the Madden, Farcry and hopefully using the controller on one of their flight games.
Not really the strongest launch I thought Wii was gonna bigger and by that time the new batch of PS3's will be shipped with the new games and T.V. commercials for the PS3 being released.
Thank god there are more activities in the U.S. to do than be on the internet. Seriously wasn't the major argument about 'USA behind in Broadband' that because of the colder places people lived in the other places in the world so they occupied their times in-door on the internet.
Now I live in Southern California with a huge population and luckily moved my family to a more upscale neighborhood luckily; we are on of the few small communities to get FIOS but I just do not see anybody praising it around here at any school events, when at the kids baseball games or at the adult softball league games. It changes region to region that I have moved to during my construction job; but what I am getting to is the Supply and Demand and how nobody demands more speed.
FIOS around here is now going to try and compete with this new technology with Time Warners deal on the Triple Play Package(phone,broadband,TV) for very cheap($100 month)
It will run on Vista RC2 perfectly fine and runs better sometimes than XP did while navigating folders or other network folders. Been playing all of my games pretty fine and some of the newer games like BF2142.
2 computers- AMD Sempron 1.3GHz Nvidia Geforce TI4200 64/ also ran on AIW 9800 Pro 128 512 MB/ I added 512MB more and seems to help a lot more with the games and heavy applications.
Hell I threw in my Nvidia Riva TNT2 64MB and it still ran it pretty fine; mind it I turned off some of the shadows and other stuff but kept the visual theme of Vista it ran fine. Just the loading process in the beginning is really the difference you will notice between a system like mine and one some guy pays $5000 for.
I cant believe everyone completely ignores this fact and I know its hard to swallow. Vista RC2 was released to the masses and thousands are using Vista RC2 perfectly fine right now; they enjoy it so much that they want to make sure that this enjoyment lasts.
Games, Non-DRM music/video all play fine in Media Player Classic, I can still control the other 3 desktops in our home and things still work like in XP with a few more easily navigatible additions. ATI/Nvidia both just released some offical RC2 drivers. Additionally they just released the upgrade prices if you originally owned Windows XP and it is not that expensive for home users to upgrade. Personally I don't mind spending $79 to upgrade one of our XP Home to Vista Home.
'Checks and Balances' are also a strong solution in the problem of fraud in an election.
I was watching a replay on C-SPAN3 12/07/04 History of the 2004 Election Process: Common Cause and Century Foundation where election officals were addressing the electronic voting machine and they ansewered some Linux and Open Source questions also. Specifically David Jefferson the California Secy of State Technical Oversite Committee Chairman. He basically says that do not soley rest on the case of open sourcing it is the final solution but it goes far beyond that. He himself says that he would eventually like to see it open sourced.
No they didn't, all gamers were the first one to upgrade to XP especially during its beta days. XP was so much more stable than 9x it is not even funny. All I remember is seeing the XP disk get passed around the LAN rooms during the beta days of XP. The exact same thing goes for Vista; ATI had offical drivers for awhile and Nvidia just recently released drivers for Vista. All my old games work and sometimes they run even faster; including WoW, BF2, BF2142, WC3, CS and almost everyone you can think of. All my original stuff works in Vista just like XP and my X800 GTO runs everything fine.
The improved library makes organizing as simple as drag and drop.
WMP10 used to drag you into that awful welcome window which would slow down the startup of WMP. With WMP11 it starts up faster and is not so intrusive with some of the selections.
WMP11 has a greatly improved library and organizing; the auto name sorting when drag and drop into play list is nice. I am running it on Vista right now and it seems to blend in nice; even though I just recently set everything to basic display settings and it still looks nice. Still have my Media Player Classic as a backup and WMP11 has not been intrusive and very pleasent so far.
It does it with a lot of other sports and other college's websites also sometimes. Mainly it was bad yesterday when the greatest defeat ever of USC went down with millions and their mother were checking espn.com. The worst part on Sportsbook.com it will crap out when choosing your bets sometimes; that doesn't make a good view with some of buddies who dont wanna bother upgrading and doing extensions. They just want it to work and recently just started getting into tab browsing and they like it to organize their MySpace to see where the parties are at on the peoples bulletin board.
Worse is when I tried to check the swell for the surf in the morning at Surfline.com it craps out when viewing the webcam sometimes. I grew up with the owner's son of surfline.com and he handles the email from people; he said he has gotten a few notices about it not working in FF and it is not enough to bother him.
Wow you guys got quite an imagination around here. Actually I was thinking if they couldn't get it installed than the users would say just download IE7 and extract them all and only run the setup.exe to avoid the WGA; like the thousands already out there talking about it in the other friendly Windows forums.
Most desktop users just don't own a legal copy is not true in my opinion; unless you have some legitimate facts or links out there that says so I think it will be a slow progress but it is going to happen. FF2 is just like 1.5x but a little bit more sluggish, cleaned up some areas and gave it a darker tone.
Uhh no, the libertarians/greens would be torn apart in the media and public. I can see the news stories now "Radical libertarians with no sense of reality have tried to steal the election. These group of people are seriously delusional and want to see the destruction of America"
Why do you think The Rolling Stones are on their like 5th retirement worldwide tour, the same goes for any concert out there you just have to look at the average age of the crowd and it is young 20's.
I hope they do and do not turn a cold sholder like that to people who can handle IE; there is a large user base out there and if they cannot read what Slashdot types than don't expect any sympathy. For IT people being around here they sure are scared/naive to load up IE and cannot seem to handle operating it. I have run years without problems because I am smart and know how to handle situations.
Slashdot Mirror
Don't worry we are all waiting for the magic bold lettered Update: "Correction blah blah blah"
Unfortunately it was a bunch of kids and they ended up biting eachother; even though they had enough for everybody.
I thought they were flying on Virgin Airlines and had to watch all six movies.

close your eyes and imagine you are at a Japanese porn shoot when the video plays.
What I don't get is he got modded insightful and I would have thought that it would have been funny because he copy-pasted.

Especially since every major college footbal game is on AM. Oh the potential for those who want to listen to the game on the road and missed the game.
