It should still say that, since theres nothing new or interesting about a $30,000 bullshit drive that stores less data than hard drives sold with computers more than 5 years ago....
This is retarded, I'm sorry....
Theres absolutely no reason to underclock anything. Theres no benefit, percieved or otherwise, from slowing anything down. Your overall computer speed is the product of the FSB and the clock multiplier. You want this as fast as possible, duh, or people wouldn't overclock.... If your computer is fast enough, great, but shut the hell up about underclocking, it was a joke when the first guy mentioned it, and no one needs to be taking it seriously....
Within the past week I reloaded my computer, fresh copy of XP with SP1 integrated... went to SP2 and the install crashed midway. When i rebooted, it said a problem had occured, and it was reverting the system to its previous state...... when it came up, explorer.exe would not run, always crashing..
nothing i could do would fix it, even manually initiating an uninstall of sp2 via command line.. that actually uninstalled sp2, but explorer.exe still wouldn't run, and I had to go back to the xp sp1 disc and do a repair install, althought i should have just reinstalled from scratch. Thanks Billy!
This is a great service i was unaware of before the previous (now duplicated) story;) If I had a clue about pcb design, id certainly use one of these options that have been brought up... but talk about niche markets.... this ones pretty small..
This is one of the reasons why they analyze the viruses... to find out how they infect other files, so they can add to their virus definitions how/where to find the viruses in other files.
Thats one way of looking at it... if you like looking at it the wrong way.
It was intentional, there is no question of this. It's funny that they're calling the code sloppy, and I wish I had a copy of the virus to see if I can figure out why they're saying this.... but its obviously intentional, but barely genious....
Too much is being made of it... It's not a new technique outside of viruses, it's been mentioned further up the page, and personally I've dealt with programs that do the same thing, and effort always wins. You find the test traps, and you patch around them. It's not even any harder for them to detect, or add signatures in their virus definitions for, it's only more difficult to analyze what it does, but we know its a virus... so this is a non-news waste of time, the attention brought to it assures that more viruses will come equipped with a debugger check, and likely some virus writer will take the extra effort to make the code SO complicated/long/difficult to trace through (this may be the case with them calling the code sloppy) and a lot of extra $$ will be wasted and probably find its way into the cost of anti-virus software subscriptions....
It's not as if virus writers are the anti-virus writers bread and butter.... oh wait... yeah they are.
Yeah.. burned quite a few people too... They didn't tell anyone they were never going to update it until recently. Not one patch. Considering the PC version has had several hundred patches, that's bad.
While watching the WoW gameplay videos, I cannot help but consider the game to be "EQ1 Done Right." The graphics aren't any better than EQ1s last 3 expansions, and the encounters are strikingly similar to EQ1 raids. It may just be the game for EQ1 addicts who don't care about the poor graphics.
EQ2 however is an alltogether different animal. The graphics are truly next generation, and the engine will scale down for people with shitty hardware. They are the ones who created the original crack addiction, which I played for the first 4 years before burning out....
WoW cannot keep my interest with its blocky graphics, it just looks cartoonish and I would get bored with it all too quickly.
Waiting for EQ2, and buying an ATI X800 XT to support the bitch too.
I do have a source, if you read the initial post... Penn & Teller: BULLSHIT! on Showtime... I have every episode, it's a show where most episodes should be required watching.....
Recycling is bullshit. PETA is bullshit. Psychics are bullshit. Ouija is bullshit. War on Drugs is bullshit. Second-hand Smoke is Bullshit. Alternative Medicine is bullshit. Feng Shui is bullshit. The Bible is bullshit.
I don't get it - is it more expensive or only one-quarter as expensive as a normal DVD?
It costs them more to make the disposable disk, but they sell it cheaper than a regular one because of the 'business model' of no-return rentals.... It's bad business, It's bad for everyone. If you don't want to return movies, get NETFLIX.
we need (from MST3k) The Amazing Chicken Volume Guesser.... who can guess how many chickens it would take to fill any given space....
You're way off...;) dvd's arent getting thrown away much, and the degrading ones are going to have such a small market, people should really be more concerned about McDonalds et al bags and packaging... things that find themselves tossed out car windows.
Haven't you heard?... Recycling is BULLSHIT.
For the full story, watch Penn&Teller:Bullshit! on Showtime.....
Recycling is the largest waste of time on the planet... ALUMINUM is the only product that is worth recycling, as it's cheaper to recycle aluminum than to mine it.... Every other recycled item, costs more, and also.... Landfills are not a problem, you can't FILL the landfill... ok?.... The garbage created by the USA for 1000 years could be stored in a 30 mile square box.
It's sad that most consumers won't 'get it'.... The disposable DVD costs more to make, has the same data on it, and costs 25% the cost of a normal dvd.... which is identical without the degrading chemicals...
I heard about the first degrading disk a long time ago, and I really see it as THE WORST invention in many years.... It's a horrible product for consumers, and a clear example of many things that are horribly wrong with companies today.

there should be a 'Wrong' modifier for when its an obviously incorrect message...

The minimum shares is 5, not 500, so a small investor with a little more than $500 can get in on the IPO.

Peasant's Quest rules... finished it. Thanks ;)
Record them on a real computer, Listen to them on a portable device.... then, you have no question.
i'd probably go the vpn route, to one of my dedicated servers at ev1servers.net, but I'd want to move first...
I hear its nice in Vancouver....
now all i need is a job in Vancouver...
The earthlink one about expired cc is the only one i thought was legit that wasn't... then i read it again....
fp...
phishing is bad... reminds me of AOL days..
thats actually a great idea.. do it.
do it.
Hahahaha... cmon, that's funny!! mod it up!

nope.

Not that they offer it on the front page, but www.nexornet.com offers cheap shell accounts as an addition to their excellent hosting....

They don't need to fabricate more than one to find out it sucks. They did it intentionally.

Well I forget how tall it was, but it wasn't much, no bigger than a 10 story building....

Yes, the costs of collecting it, transporting it, sorting it, and breaking it down, far exceed the cost of creating fresh glass.
In addition... On average, a city pays $50/ton to throw away garbage.... and $150+/ton to recycle it.
