You're forgetting too customer also like CHEAP more than the fancy smancy stuff which is why they buy Dells. Sure the os may look fancy but what's the point when companies like Dell have a deadlock for windows?
What I'm saying I guess is fanciness doenst matter when your a monopoly. Linux could look a million times better than windows but because companies like Dell distributes windows on virtually all machines and because windows is a brand name, people trust windows based on that, the look of the os won't affect peoples decision to buy it.....
Business' may be a little different but I can't see a major company going "mmm, this os looks snazzy but it runs our apps slower then version b here. eh who cares it looks great lets go it!!!"
Well right now i'm in a long distance relationship. That part sucks but I talk to her on average an hour a day(usually between 9-10pm) so anytime after or before I would be set.........
I use a dell 802.11b wireless router I never had a problem either setting up wep. The only thing that annoyed me was I had to type in my own key rather than having one generated randomly. Sadly I can very easily seeing the average computer user just typing in all 2's for his/her wep key. I don't know if other manufacturers are the same in regard to creating your own key rather than having one generated?
Redardless I'm not at all worried about wireless secruity in my house. My room faced the rear of the house and I have a big back yard. I can't get a signal from across the end of my house so the only way someone can access my wireless network is to stand literally next to my window in which case he'll be shot on site:). I guess its a hidden advantage having a semi-crappy wireless router....
Too bad though we live in a country where a murder can get out in prison in under 5 years but if you killed someone in self-defense, they'll probably give you a life sentence. Well either that and/or years of court trials and high legal fees.......
Sorry if anyone commented on this already, I don't feel like reading through a gizillion posts;).
Isnt it funny how ms is calling a waste of money and idea that a good part(yes, part, I know not all of it) of it is build upon FREE.
It's funny how some people will react when there scared and under pressure, eh bill.
Oh the government can keep secrets alright. One comman soldier with probably the iq of 12 snapping a picture has no portrayel on what the cia/fbi does and what they want/don't want you to know.....
But then wouldnt this apply to microsoft? After all ms isn't a competitor for anyone it's just an os that's distrubted by the same competitors as linux(minus dell thus there stronghold).
Then again, they are a monopoly so that nullifies what I said. Regardless I look at ms the same way this guy looks at linux. Nobody distributes microsoft (Dell, every other home pc the average consumer buys), microsoft would fade away FAST...
Though a giant they are, wouldnt the same hold true for microsoft? I mean if tomorrow dell(especially dell), hp, ibm and whoever else distributes windows machines all of a sudden stop and decide to distiruble all linux boxes, i think ms would be in a world of hurt....
i have, or should i rephrase it as i tried but failed miserably. sometimes announcers say hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in all sports and i do believe that....
I was actually just thinking about that topic myself. For a perfect game this is so very true. After all, it is given you are not going to get 27 strike outs so you need your teammates help to prevent the runner getting to first....
As for a regular no hitter, the case don't hold so much because say the shortstop makes a throwing error to first, you're no hitter is still going beause its an error... just you're perfect game went bye bye...
regardless, pitching is stil very HARD to do, especially when you have pumped up "kreatine" batters ready to blast anything out of the park coming his way.
--coicidence that no one hit 50 homers last year when the steroid scandal started to come up? i think not!
On a related note, when you install a fresh new version of windows on a nice shiney new hard drive, you think there shouldn't be too much fragmentation should there? Well that's not the case. I've seen now after two installation of windows where virtually the whole drive is fragmented.......
Your almost right. Only thing though is believing in Christ as your savior, not the fact of believing in failure to adhere to the teachings of the Bible, makes you saved and a christian......
What methods do they use to trace out these fossils over millions of years?
One big questions to me that remains with all these species dying off, new ones forming, why are humans the only one with intelligence? No other species in the world has the logical capacity human do. If you think otherwise, try talking about the theory of relativity to a dolphin or any other species.....
For me, there is just something more there evolution or anything else can ever explain with helps further my faith....
We're just a stubborn nation. Also, I was talking about this when someone at work and he makes a valid point in that the economics involved would be huge. Virtually everything would have to be changed over from screws to socket wrenches to containers to road signs, etc. Doing a switch over would literally take years and probably confuse alot of people in the process....
Do you consider refuting points and bringing out other sides of an argument judging? I don't. I never said you stupid for believing this or you dumb for thinking that. Just from time to time I need to defend my good ol' faith when it seems like to be bashed by everyone and their mother.
You're right about that but unfortunately itanium1 is. My company was too cheap to buy me a new machine so they gave me this itanium1. While it is fast, I can't upgrade past redhat 7.2 which flakes out on me alot. Pretty much I'm stuck in itanic hell.
So what about Jesus Christ. The fact they do have some historical evidence along with the fact our whole calender system is based after Him (b.c. a.d.) i guess that makes him a figure that can't be materialize?
Yea i've been going on a religious rant the past 2 days but like everyone else, when there beliefs/ideas get criticize to a great degree they feel the need to defend......
Back to you, why don't you read the Bible. It's always better to undertand something, especially a view point before criticizing it.
Since you trust humans so much..go follow are wonderful president that is leading us in the sh*tter, and go believe in all the junk mail you get to better your life, go trust salespeople who will take everydime you have.......
I'm not saying all those things aren't great, I'm just don't agree with or believe who global warming will be a terror or some end of the world causing event......and that alot of people on whole are untrustworthy.....
Hehe. Yea the church has done some evil in the past and more so now but its the human in the earth saying this not God. I heard somewhere that the Bile might actually shows evidence to suggest the earth is round but I never actually went to prove it yet so I can't say for sure how accurate that claim was....

You know I used to love McDonalds. I still eat alot of fastfood but for some reason the idea of eating anything at McDonald's makes me sick...

yea man, the study of phsyics of baseball after the athlete is pumped up on steriods...ooops i'm sorry "performance enhancement drugs"
