And I have to tell you ive already had more trouble getting spyware out of XP than I ever had with 98. I've run into several programs that would load themselves at startup (didnt show up in startup manager) And wouldnt allow me to close them through Task manager (said I didnt have authority or whatever even though I was logged in as admin.) I finally had to load Kerio personal firewall to stop the programs from even loading, manually delete them out of the registry and then delete their files.
I dont understand why everyone is so concerned about telecommunications and internet communications being tapped. Personally I dont care if the FBI overhears me talking to my g/f , mom, brother, etc. If you have something that secret use encryption or go to some random private chat room, or use a program to directly connect via IP address. It's not like they could listen to everyones communications. At worst they could use a keyword search.
Learn how to speak with a thick southern accent and then speak without moving your lips and they wont get a thing. I have yet to find a "you talk it types" program that could handle a thick accent
What if they used the old napster system of all the computers reporting to the central server what files they have to upload and then using a bit torrent like process to make it easier to d/l large files. While initially al the files would have to be hosted on servers controlled by the P2P owners as more people d/l the files they would be able to take the load off their servers and put it onto others.
Perhaps files could be submitted to them reviewed and then authorized to enter the network. If it really took off they wouldnt even have to host much on their servers after the initial seeding was completed
My router is located in the kitchen about a foot away from the microwave and we also have a 2.4 ghz wireless phone sitting next to it. I've never had a problem with my WiFi network. Even though we have had a NEW microwave (which recently died) And a several several year old microwave which is now sitting next to it.
Search the net for the leaked Ep3 fight footage. It should help reassure you that there will be some great scenes in there. In one of the clips a Jedi squares off against 3 guys in green suits holding lightsabers. I recall reading an interview or maybe it was in the leak that as it stood then it was the longest sword fight in cinema history.
As for the "surfboards" that everyones complainng about remember they have repulsorlifts so they wont be actually on the lava. Theyre floating platforms controled with your feet or leaning your body. It could easily be a cool scene if done right. I say wait and see.
I've always wondered why tv companies dont do more wi fi broadcasting. I understand bandwidth limitations but if they required you to install special software that would then function as a bit torrent / p2p program and rebroadcast it to other machines I dont see how it would be that big a problem.
on ever TV in town unless you are really close to the cable company when you turn to channel 8 (local information) you can see channel 7 as a shadowy background presence.
I know a recent economic study in Star Wars Galaxies showed that, just as in a real life capitalistic economy, the large majority of the currency is held by a very small group of individuals. Additionally, the economy has consistently seen more money travelling out of circulation (via taxes, repair fees, bank-to-bank xfer fees, etc) that there is money coming in. Fascinating stuff.
I read the economic study of galaxies. And the money there works like a sink. money flows into the system when it is given to the characters by the game and then out of the system when the players spend it on things.
And the distribution of wealth doesnt take into account playing times. Someone whol plays an hour or two on the weekends is not going to have nearly as much money as someone who plays several hours each day. Plus all the characters who are created and then abandoned when the player goes broke and decides to start over or the characters who get played once in a blue moon.
Middle eastern countries have been using these for years. Though this is the first time I've heard about the US using them I'm not surprised. I recall reading somewhere that One of the middle eastern rulers escaped an assasination attempt because of one of these jammers.
Plus it could keep terrorists from coordinating an attack by cell phone. Sure they could use radios to coordinate but if a bunch of encoded radio messages start flying around I imagine the secret service would know that something was up.
I don't know why jesus didn't admonish one of his followers for cutting off an ear actually he did rebuke his diciple for that. My point was that he did not object to his diciples wearing them in the first place., perhaps for the same reason that he returned a slave to his owner. huh? How about a verse reference.
Reread some of the OT the israelis were always attacking or being attacked. They were conquered at two or three times at least. Egyptians, Romans, Babylonia all conquered Israel.
Deal with it. We take steps to minimize the occurance and severeness but thats all you can do. Accidents will happen Just be glad we don't have to carpet bomb anymore.
Even in SOCOM where friendly players are clearly marked and you can see where they are, friendly fire accidents happen all the time. Someone sticking their head out into your line of fire or a misthrown grenade are always killing people.
One extreme says no war is worth it. Jesus takes this extreme Read the account ofo Jesus's arrest IN the garden of Gethsemane. One of his disciples draws his sword and cuts the ear off a guard. If Jesus was so antiwar / weapons why would he allow his followers to arm themselves. And lets not forget that the Old Testament is positivley filled with accounts of wars between Israel and just about everyone else in the Middle East.
The way I'm reading it either it makes cards from 2 diff manufactuers work together to display video from one card twice as fast ie beowulf clustering. Or it make to diff cards support dual screen? But I've been doing that on my computer for years so that couldn't be it.
I have to hand it to homestar their site loaded fast on my 400 mHz comp see the two examples in my other post for sites that don't do that. Normally flash animations bigger than this a quick animation I did slow it down a lot.
I didn't know you could make the text selectable I guess I just haven't visited the right sites. But for examples of too much flash. exhibit A and exhibit B
Flash animations are ok but sites built entirely out of flash are crap. Yea they look nice but you cant copy and paste anything interesting they're slow to loa and they slow down your computer.
My family somehow got one on the computer and not from looking at pron. I know a range of times it could have got there and checked history and file creation dates. nothing. but I think I finally beat it this morning (the hijacker) It used a file called MSHTA.exe to reset my homepage to start.chm and didn't show up in the system startup list. It got past spybot adaware and norton even though I knew it was in there somewhere. finally i d/l the demo version od pestpartol and rn a scan it picks up a lot of old registry entries the other three missed it doesn't pick it up either but I look in it's listing of startup files and there itis. delete fest!!! mshta.exe was hidden and it wouldn't let me change the folder view options. so i went into dos deleted it then went into the registry and deleted every mshta and hta listing I could find
Since I think I'm the only one to get G4 instead of TechTV I'll lodge my complaint. G4 is keeping a solid line up with the exception of Sweat (i don't care about watching the dude play games in real life) and cinematech (c'mon 30 min. of nothing but game trailers they don't even have to play commercials since the whole time is one commercial after another) and my complaint about the one TechTV show I 've seen. ROBOT WARS?!?! WTF I hated them even when they were new Comedy Central's Battle Bots was a much better show. No cheap gimmicks like flame and "referee bots" that would jump into the fight for no reason. Just good old pieces of metal trying to hit saw and smash each other into bits in the middle of a well lit arena where it was easy to see what was going on.

For those of us who didnt wear the title of geek back then. Could someone please enlighten us.
She had enough trouble learning XP
Just reconfigure the desktop to look like 98 and she wont know the difference. And it's much easier to use

Actually we did give them a time limit for turning over OBL. And they refused

Oops, needed French help...
Obviously you have no shortcomings at all
