    Is it because if they use cockroaches not many people will yell at them for animal cruelty, because cockroaches are "evil"?

    Why do you think that the show FearFactor can get away with doing the Cockroach bit on national TV?

    My opinion only, if scientists have studied that we can balance ourselves with only 2 feet and while walking, with one foot up and one foot on the ground, why can't they apply that information to insects?

  16. Re:Features on VirtualPC 2004 Versus VMWare 4.5? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have not had problems with either program. I had Connectix VPC when it was out and it rocked really hard. It was compatible with almost everything I did. I tried VMWare and it was slow. I tried installing multiple OS's on it and installing them were slower than Connectix.

    When Microsoft bought out Connectix, it was a good deal. Microsoft, IMO, made it better. I read at one point that you could not install Linux on Microsoft's product, I did and it worked. I am using M$'s product and it is faster then Connectix. IMO, it is good. I will have to try to find VMWare GSX Server and try that.

  25. Re:I wonder if I'll have to pay for the upgrade? on SBC Planning 15-25Mbps DSL Networks · · Score: 1

    I wonder as well.

    I do know that the plans for DSL range for me (1.5Mbps to 3Mbps) are $50/month. The only reason I am getting those speeds is if I upgraded my phone service for Local/LD services @29.99/month. It is worth it tho. This is based on what I have with SBC/Yahoo! right now.

    The above is a promotion you can get if you call up SBC to acquire that. The above was an upgrade for me from regular DSL to the one I currently have.
