They are [becoming] a buggy whip. I see less and less 'service' they are providing. I'm sorry to musicians, but maybe music should be made by musicians who just like making music, rather than a 'way out' and to make million$ in giant record contracts. The American dream has transmuted to becoming a millionare and this has also become the musicians dream. Might say something about why there is no good music coming out anymore and everyone is listening to punk from 25 years ago. A hard working band used to mean they performed every night. That's how they made their money, by actually entertaining instead of negotiating with lawyers. They will have to use all that creativity to make their own distribution (hardly a challenge today) and they start gigin! MTV is geared towards consumers many of whom may never have even seen a live band. Music lovers will seek out the music and the experience is entirely different. JMO

It seems that anyone who points out that the planet is headed for serious [series of] catastroph[y/ies] is being 'extreme'. Extreme things happen all the time in nature and pointing them out does not make one extreme. The planet IS headed for serious [series of] catastroph[y/ies]. If you can't recognize that you do have your head up your**in the sand.
"Hey. The other room has caught on fire." "Well.. It could happen I suppose. We were talking about getting together last week and setting up some fire drills. Probably be a good idea.." "Yeah, but the other room is on fire. Now!" "Mmm.. Yeah.. We should keep an extinguisher around too. Are you supposed to check the smoke alarm batteries on daylight savings? Or is it when the clocks go back? I keep forgetting." "THE FUCKING BUILDING IS ON FIRE! GET OUT!" "I think this grass is making you a little paranoid man. You know? You should chill with that stuff."
I concur. I've never used anti-virus software. When I get a new machine with it pre-installed it is usually just a pain in the ass and I end up uninstalling it. 10 years ago I got the Gen-B virus off of a floppy diskette that someone handed me and I trusted. Never since [had a virus] despite everything on the Internet. Good practices are THE_MOST_IMPORTANT PERIOD Good virus writers in Romania recieving 'anonymous' wire fund transfers from shell corporations loosly owned by Symentec/McAfee?? More likely. They have a nice little industry going. I've always had a mix of linux and some kind of windows machine running. I used to have an NT box hooked directly to the Internet b4 cheap routers were so common. I just hardened the machine (as much as could be done to an NT4 box then). Use email for email, the web for web content, don't run executable code that you have no idea what it does. Always worked for me..
God. The problems with posting anything on a "news for nerds" site. Yeah I had been drinking. You are posting to correct my grammer? Read the post you fucking asshole then STFU. Thanks.
This motherfucker is going to the one to bring us into the "new age". Still think the unusual weather is from global warming? HAARP is the clumsy attempt to try to continue Nicola Tesla's brilliant work, all be it death rays and such. I'm sure he is rolling in his grave. Wether it is free energy or zapping an embassy from miles away, this is the one that will change the world forever. Bouncing along the ionosphere... Split the world in half like an apple. Oh well.. Thanks for the alternating current. At least we had some time to enjoy it.
ZZZAAAAPP!!!!!
PS Tesla is one of my idols and I don't want to sound as if he's to blame because he's not. An brilliant genious and wise mystic.
I'd see more of them. The formulaic 70's tv show remake smells the same as a new mutual fund. Developed out of a well calculated, conservative profit motive. "These types of films, with these actors, tend to gross this revenue." It's completely uninspired and it sucks as a result.
Life Aquadic was the last good film I've been to and I'm still waiting. Commercials in theatres?! $11 a ticket to watch them? The whole thing sucks.
I'm an engineer and an artist. I build roads. Really excellent roads. I don't issue traffic tickets. My job is to build the fastest, most beautiful road. If you let me I will only make autobahn. Now you want me to add speed bumps? You want to break the road? The road assumes you know what you are doing. You are alert. Watch the road, move effortlessly and make beautiful music. A masterpiece!
Of course it's addictive. But so is e-mail and slashdot. Quake3 & filesharing. Everything about the Internet. Some of us were adults before this Internet thing exploded and remember adult life then. The thing is immediate gratification and conveniences have made life more complex. I would say it's more of an issue for young people, but this is the new world and it's not going back ever. You wanted to have all your computers talk to eachother and now you have it. (learn appropriate latin phase and enter here. Damm.) be careful what you wish for?.. Remember your grandparents(?) stories of horse carriges and gentleman callers? Those days were gone long before the Internet. This is just the newest level. Okay people, keep on poping more kids out. Theyre going to have quite a ride ahead.
I loved the concept so I convinced my coworkers to get a 60MB number. It was cake to setup and worked well until a few days later the disk failed. Talking with tech support, they couldn't believe it but determined it was definately DEAD. No refund available, just a replacement unit. The new one has worked well since so it may have been a fluke but it doesn't matter now since nobody in the office will trust it for more than an mp3 server. Kind of dissapointing really.

A better one would be "How can they tailor Futurama to reflect wartime values to better suit the goals of the network?".. Survivor, New New York!
in Trainspotting. Don't you remember? It was that damned kitten.
