More producing products (cows, in this case) mean more supply of the products I use (cream, cheese and other high fat-low carb dairy products). More supply means lower prices.
The only problem with that argument is that the cows aren't manufactured like tennis balls, they're grown which means that they still have to consume food, get pumped with vitamins, be treated if necessary for diseases and processed.
It would be nice if we could take one cow, put them in a magic machine and hit the big green CLONE button and multiple grown cows come out ready for processing, but that's not happening yet.
My personal take on this is that it's a step for something else. Whatever that is, I'm sure that solution will present itself, I.E., grown filets.
This is your SSN. There are many like it, but this one is yours. Your SSN is your best friend. It is your life. You must master it as you must master your life. Your SSN, without you, is useless. Without your SSN, you are useless.
I'm waiting for the 42 gigapixel security camera that can zoom in from across the room in a reflection so you can see what some guy with sunglasses is reading by enhancing the reflection you see in his glasses.
Exactly. The writing is there: good student, good employee, horrible spouse. You can't do it all. You have to choose what is important to you and don't you ever put your children second.
I can't vouch if that is true but the idea is that your XP Home can't `connect` to more than 5 devices at the same time. XP Pro can't serve more than 10 connections but can connect to more than 10 devices.
The way I believe it is is that XP Home can connect to a network print server, share 2 directories, and connect to 2 other devices before not having any other `connections` left. You can have 100 nodes on the network you're on, just 95 of them won't be able to see your shares. You'd be able to play on a 10 man lan party if you weren't hosting.
I didn't mention anything about cue marks for reel changes.
I mentioned the CAP dots that screw up a frame that I see. Apparently not everyone sees them but I do. I also can't view those fuzzy 3D stereoscopic images no matter how hard I try.
The idea is the it is supposed to screw up the compression for pirated movies but it ends up being an annoying eyesore. I haven't seen any for IMAX prints but regular cinema for tentpole pictures I see them every time.
Becomes Null and Void when the package states "Will not play on computer DVD players" Just like trying to return Flight Simulator X because it won't load on your Mac. The package will have requirements for play.
So the argument now becomes, if it won't play on computer DVD players, what DVD players will it play on? Is this now a branding issue? `Only plays on Samsung, Toshiba, and Sony DVD players. Will not work on Sanyo and Sharp. 5.1 not available on Pioneer players.`
No, not yet. DVD encoding is an agreed standard, copy protection isn't. It appears that both the content providers and the `security` teams want to license copy protection so in the future, we'll have players that will play X copy protection and players that will play Y copy protection. That will be as confusing to the layman as the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray battle.
Not just that, I like to go to the movies but I am sick of the yellow dots that flash on the screen that really is worse than a piece of hair in the lens for a few frames. I'm really getting sick of modified movies either way. I just put in Shrek 2 and you can't skip the previews unless you fast forward them. What's the point? I want to be entertained at home on my terms dammit.
Plasma is way overrated. It's expensive for the cost/year factor over the lifetime of the unit and it's temerature sensitive and pressure sensitive. Where I live, that matters. I live in a mountainous state and if I wanted to buy a plasma to take into the mountains to a relative that lives there, it ain't happening. I have to buy a different rated plasma for the altitude (So says Best Buy, Circuit City, and Frys Electronics in the metropolitan area that has dealt with returns because of people doing exactly that)
So where does that leave the victim? There was a victim initially that shouldn't be forgotten.
Even if he's guilty, he's probably not a threat to you or me.
Charles Manson on the other hand, had lots of victims, random victims, and would be a threat to you or me. Why is that dipsh*t still alive? He isn't worth the money spent on his `rehabilitation`.
Target and Walmart have been undercutting stores since they opened by monopolizing distribution.
I wasn't aware that Best Buy, Fry's, Krogers, Safeway, Albertsons, Publix, Circuit City, Ultimate Universe, New Generation, Silo, Costco, Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, NetFlix, Suncoast, and any other distributor of media utilize Target and Walmart channels for distribution.
Target and Walmart are effective wholesalers that makes them effictive distributors which gives them the advantage of undercutting smaller stores.
I doubt Costco, Fry's, et al. use Walmart's and Target's wholesale channels either.
In addition, any copyrighted info is usually posted by a particular user or users that is trackable. Delete all content by a user and you've gotten rid of the offensive material.
Getting it out the door is more important than if it's ready.
At the time it's released, Mac will have another OS out but that's beside the point. That only matters to people that are `on the fence` OS wise and not a significant number. In the halls of the OS engineers, it matters as it proves what insiders at MS have said that "Microsoft isn't able to ship products anymore."
When SP1 is released, there will be hoopla and hype that Vista will have even more features, be more stable, and even more secure.
You have to imagine that this incident has to be the last time something this big happens to any `partner`. This company has about 15 years of doing this and it's as predictable as wash, rinse, repeat.
They don't have the respect in the industry as they should except for the fear aspect, not `Ooh, what new innovation is Microsoft coming out with?`
Wasn't there some trick to extend these `time limited` offerings from Redmond where you set the time server to your local machine and set your year to something past 2072?
There seems to be much to look forward to; new features, better stability, better performance
Are we to believe that Redmond is actually stating that XP, their flagship OS, is less stable than Vista? Are we to believe that Vista will have better performance because of the millions of lines of code in the OS that makes it awesome or because the hardware requirements for Vista are higher than for their flagship OS, XP? New Features? I wasn't aware that DRM and fancy schmancy desktop themes are features but if that's what floats your boat, then I guess I'll call them features too.
I had to phone in activations on about 30 XP instalations spread over several months. In the beginning, there was an operator but towards the end it was automated. That was back in 2003/2004.

Keep Windows as a game machine only, use other OSs for productivity.

...you still have a flashy (read: annoying) new gui to look forward to.
Only to those who shell out $250+ for it.
I believe the under $200 ones don't have that fancy schmancy, hoity toity see through gui.
Exactly. The writing is there: good student, good employee, horrible spouse. You can't do it all. You have to choose what is important to you and don't you ever put your children second.
Can't wait for that virus to run multiple activations changing the hash while it's at it.

A limited trial version that is $200.
You want to talk about Apple being latched to it's hardware, this is much worse.
Resolution is more important than the size of the screen.
I'm far more productive on 1600x1200 than 1024x768.
I just moved from a 19" to a 21" where it is a far better read.
Please hand in your geek card.

I will rip all of my purchased DVD content and place them on something like this http://www.onlybestrated.com/eureka-lx350-high-de
Todays teens not wanting to own the physical media for music is really the first step to a paperless society.
We're slowly moving away from `gotta have it` to `I can get it anywhere so I don't need it` mentality that the younger generation has.
Outlook AND Outlook Express currently has shitty support for IMAP servers.
Why, to this day, is expunge still not an automatic thing with them?
Oh yeah, because of Exchange - but why does OE still suck with IMAP?
And subscriptions is still a convoluted mish mash of un-intuitive MS bantery.

This is an attempt to show that Nielsen Media Research has some value.
Kind of like if Microsoft actually fixes their OS so that virus protection isn't needed, those 3rd party virus companies aren't needed either.
Getting it out the door is more important than if it's ready.

I think the phone activation is automatic today.
