That was 30 years ago. I want to say that yeast was added but I honestly don't remember. My next door neighbor (we would watch ZOOM together) also had the same effect.
When I was a kid, I used to watch ZOOM and in their ZOOM DO segment, they showed us how to make play-doh. I made it and colored it green. Played with it for a few days, not as pliable as the original stuff but good enough and it got more playtime because we made it. Put it in its tupperware container in the dark pantry and forgot about it. A couple of days later, it grew out of it's container and made a mess in the pantry.
You're not telling me anything I don't already know.
PC in the definitive term includes the Apple Macintosh. Mac zealots including Apple computer including their marketing including their latest commercials state that Mac is not a PC.
You're not old enough to remember the abysmal IBM PCjr that really started the Mac vs. PC war and it's failure is what prompted the "Mac is not a PC" ideology because Apple didn't want the public to think that because the PC's suck and the keyboards didn't work that IBM PC and Apple PC are different entities when the PC was an emerging market. Hence the Apple fueled marketing that Mac's aren't PC's which even the oldest Mac zealot will still call PC's IBMs even though they're made and assembled from a plethora of different manufacturers.
Well then they need to come where I am. CompUSA, Circuit City, and Best Buy have stacks of unsold units. Not empty boxes in a display for a raincheck, unsold units.
For years I've said that the Mac is a PC because it is. After having some flamethrowers shot at me a little fact around the PCJr years that Apple clearly did not want the distinction that their computers were personal computer but extentions of something I can't remember.
So Apple has always maintained that their computers are NOT personal computers. Just don't tell a Mac zealot that their PC's are PC's because they're not. They're Macs.
I just wonder what you call it when you take a Mac (Intel flavor) and slap Windows on it. Crap? Rotten Apple?
Including the media player isn't the problem. It's the choice of removing which is impossible. Same as IE. Of course advanced tech types can remove it but high profile tools for removal don't exist for your average user nor does the manufacturer say that removal is possible which , again, is the problem.
You know, it realy isn't that bad of a deal. They pratically give those CD's away yet they balk at the chance for getting a guaranteed 99 cents pre-paid per song. That type of logic says that they would rather give away 77 songs (7 per 11 free CD's for example) and charge for 28 songs (7 per the 4 required to buy) for about $50 instead of getting the full $103.95 for 195 songs.
Sony is just a distributor/publisher. They need content and screw over the content makers so that they [Sony] become the content. How else are you going to get 11 albums for a penny? I personally think the artists should make at least 50% on the deal and no less.
True story, a long time ago, a coworker made up 3 fake people and used the identies to get the free cd's that the columbia club offered and had them delivered to the office. When he didn't pay, they offered more free cd's. After the first 6 months, the collection letters started to come which we promptly ingored. After that, he waited 3 years and were able to get more free cd's.
unless you're under 17 or a mobile, on the go with no place to call home, that's an idea. If you're over 16 you probably have a spare computer laying around which you use as a Linux server serving SMB which all your wired and wireless computers can access. Mine is still running RH8 of a 450 Mhz P3 flavor.
But if you fall in the above category and don't want the hassle of a mobile media player then I guess a shared partition on your laptop is the way to go.
Xp loses because of activation and distinct versions that aren't compatible.
Windows 2000 was Windows 2000 wether it was a server flavor or Professional.
XP is a cluster F*K of marketing crap. Home, Pro, MCE, N series, started edition, and they're acknowledging the Pirated edition with the recent nagware.
Yes, there is software that won't run on MCE that will on Home and Pro.
That's what happens when you have a french guy direct an american style movie. It'll probably do well over there. Not to knock the guy, that wolf movie was interesting but it's like all the fight scenes were just replayed with different people every time. Got tired watching it. Stylish and interesting but not very compelling (that wolf movie he did).
When I was a kid (in the 70's/80's), our local theatre would show matinees from the serial days on the weekends. Admission was a couple of cans of food that was donated to the food bank. I'd ride my bike with cans of food and watch all the westerns, Zorro, Batman, and Flash Gordon epsodes.
Sky Capitan would have fit nicely in that category and if you watch it, you'll see how every 15 minutes is a completely different setting. You can pick up on the story at any 15 minute interval without really missing anything.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is isn't but matinee fun it really is and it was a refreshing piece of entertainment that is missing in today's landscape. Better than The Shadow or The Phantom that tried to be like it, it reminded me of my canned food paying days.
In response to your discussion, Angelina Jolie is in some pretty horrible movies. I think that chick flick where she's with Winona Ryder is the only decent one.
I grew up during the original TOS reruns and I loved it. The shows really sucked, most of them. What was cool was what it represented and the surounding environment. Phasers, transporters, warp speed, travel to other planets, aliens in cool makeup (at the time), hotties in William Ware Theiss outfits, Kirk was ruler of the universe and Mr. Spock was cool. Kirk was so cool that we forgave the Catspaw, Spocks Brain, Spectre of the Gun, Platos Stepchildren (hell- most of the 3rd season), the Abraham Lincoln episode, and the evil twin episode which really wasn't that bad of all the evil twin episodes that exist on television.
We got the movies and we thought that that's it. No more tv episodes then TNG happened. OK, different, cool, different, not as cool as TOS because no Vulcan. The straight guy Data was alright, Number One (bozo) was annoying but Picard rocked. We forgave Whoopi Goldberg and the tar creature episode because we had the holodeck and some real baddies, the Borg and Q. TNG wasn't as engaging to me but I wasn't a kid anymore.
Then we got DS9. WTF?!? Same universe, different point of view. Very well written and a surprise all around. The tribble episode was neat and we got the Ferengi.
Voyager, no one really cared about it, at least people who liked the older series. Only die hards seemed to like it as they would like anything with "Star Trek" slapped on it. Mostly all female, doctor didn't exist in real space and they brought back a vulcan, as a black guy. Nothing wrong with that but it just seemed like they wanted a 'black' alien that wasn't a klingon.
Then we get Enterprise. OK, I'll bite. Pre TOS so they can't really screw up now or else the space time continuum will get messed up and the fans of Voyager will turn rabid and scream that Enterprise ruined Star Trek. Don't really get anything new because anything new already existed. This time we get a female Vulcan that follows the Voyager steps of hotties in spandex. Hotties look better in William Ware Theiss outfits, not spandex.
Most of the crew is likable except I don't get the doctor character. Why make him an alien when aliens are new? Enterprise sucks because it isn't bold and doesn't break new ground. All it is is Voyager with different people with limitations of what they can't or can do. It's like all of the tech in Enterprise "doesn't work well or isn't tested yet". Voyager was TNG with different characters but without the drive. TNG was TOS with different characters but it continued the "where no man has gone before" dream. Voyager just placed them farther out.
It seems like they're trying to return to the roots which made TOS good which was Kirk but William Shatner is responsible for us liking Kirk, not the writers.
I say let it rest for another 5 years at least and if they're going to do a series, do another starship becaue Enterprise will always be about Kirk, no matter who is in the captains chair.
Most of the movies suck, they even had an evil twin movie. How is it that in TOS, we can see on the view screen people on a planet surface in detail but in Generations there are annoying reportes with huge cameras mounted on their eyes?
Give it a rest. Fire Berman and Braga and remove them at least 1000 miles from any star trek property, they're only in it for a paycheck.

How Vista Disappoints
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Hardly.
Computers will still be sold with the latest Windows has to offer. Computers still sold when ME was available. People can walk down the computer aisles and see 8 feet (16 feet on some stores) of Apple computer offerings, 4 feet of Linux preloaded offerings (in some stores), or 48 feet of Windows offerings.
If Vista is an abonimation like ME was, then MS will simply create a patch, call it Vista SE (Second Edition), and sell it.
I do alot of 1099 and I was shocked that I didn't have to write an additional check this year. I did get 'money back' from my bank in the form of interest that I set aside specifically for my check to Uncle Sam.

You've just explained how complicated Windows permissions are to use over Mac and *nix.

Put down the kool-aid, run a few laps and clear your mind. Forget what they are telling you. You should probably actually use Linux once in a while.
Kernel updates aren't required unless there is a security issue which is few and far between.
Most of the kernel updates are driver related.
There are plenty of us who run Linux that are using older kernels by choice.
Dude, you watch too much science fiction. Only Microsoft can innovate with it's developers some tech like that.

When will Microsoft call this pirating?
My guess is probably xbox version 4 where you buy the console and activate the OS on the console.
I consider DS9 a Ron Moore (Of BG fame) property, not Berman/Braga.
They (B/B) probably thought that DS9 would die a quick death of mediocrity.
I really like the cast of Enterprise. I like the ensemble alot more than TNG. The writing and direction is horrible.
We used to call them K/S ladies. Their fan artwork is really disturbing.
All they've done is take what existed and repackage it leaving the soul out.
Because Enterprise sucks?
OK, that's _my_ opinion.

If you earned, you paid. The question is "Do you know how much you paid?"
If you answer "I didn't have to pay, I got money back" then therin lies the problem.
