I refuse to use Windows Software any longer. Well, at least the Operating System. I have been running 100% Linux for a while now and I love it. I really can truly say I do not miss one single thing about their OS.
If you buy the latest and greatest Video card, you may be able to take advantage of one or two games at most. By the time there are enough games out there to justify the video card, it cost hundreds less. That is like buying a console that cost $600 and there is only one game for it, then the price drops down to $250 and there are 10 more. Unless you have money to waste, it is better to wait.
Just like with most of IRC, I have seen people time and time again act snobishly. Especially the ops. They go as far as to sending people to different channels just because their question may not be on topic with the channel name. They may know the answer but they would rather be rude. Secondly, there are many different ways of doing things in Linux. Instead of encouraging diversity, they say that they are right and everyone else is ignorant and should stfu. I don't think that is a very positive or encouraging approach for anyone.
Yay two cowards and one who actually posted something meaningful. Okay, maybe i didn't RTFA but who cares, they are all rich so why the hell is this important?
Does Unlimited really mean Unlimited yet ?

I remember my dial up companies bitching about my usage beacause I would be on 24/7. They tried to say that they only provide Unlimited Internet if you are actually using it. It was nice though when I had one dial up isp called CTS net in San Diego back in 1997 or so. I would leave the red hat box on 24/7 with a firewall. They actually were convinced that I was not online because they could not ping me. It was quite a laugh.
However, Verizon and Sprint both provide high speed wireless in Las Vegas with EVDO technology. They charge around $60USD/month for unlimited access. At what point are they going to limit the unlimited like the dial up companies did? I understand that the dial up companies did it because they were limited to the physical number of phone lines, but can Sprint and Verizon come up with some ridiculous exuse? I think they are probably working on that right now.
I think that the people who copy these programs, along with people who copy music will continue to get away with it. We can play CD's and DVD's on a computer and we can watch TV on the computer, so I think that no matter what happens, people will still find a way to write something to capture that signal. This is providing they don't make it impossible to view on a computer, but I am sure that some people watch tv from their comptuer and do not actually own a television.
There is no specific law requiring sales tax to be paid on items purchased over the Internet. The state of Michigan should not be allowed to get away with this.
This depends on the judge. Hopefully the judge will make a decision based on the law and not a decision that will "hopefully sway" gamemakers into making games that fit into his/her agenda. It is all an attempt to control peoples lives using the judicial system instead of legislation.

Hey, why can't I login to the system? Because you're fired! lol!
Clinton wiped that out, Bush made it higher than it has ever been.
Pretty soon Alienware will be crap lol
Sony may be making a top of the line system, but I prefer a lower cost Nintendo Wii that will have the games I grew up liking.
I agree!
lol, make sure you wear gloves

The new Microsoft Windows Vista Operating system is so complex that it took a team of monkeys 3 days to boot it up.
I just plain agree with you.
People are still going to record it on TV and make them into MPEGs. Flash sucks too lol!
id rather have functionality than features
I like the new name, its pretty funny!

I find it astonishing that it took this long to begin to test Einstiens theorys

Of course you are lazy, you are not supposed to sniff the battery acid from the cartridge, no wonder it's dead.
