Based on all this score ranting, can I assume that you use futuremark to compare ati vs nvidia as well?
My point is this: my coworker had her brand new vista laptop owned to the point of explorer repeatedly crashing on bootup after just two days of websurfing!
I'm sure you can blame this on user error, and I would even agree with you, in fact it proves that any scores on your linked test are all but irrelevant in comparison to end user's being tricked into installing trojans on their own machines.
Bravo sir! for the funniest post of the day.
Also, could you at least *try* what they are suggesting before going on and on about this issue that you very well could be wrong about? I too know a bit about computers, but I certainly won't pretend to know all about them.
That's a good point, and even though I don't know the details of the GP's example, I can easily imagine a situation where the girl wanted to run away with the instructor and the girl's family was misrepresenting the circumstances.
I agree with the death penalty, but only in cases of 100% certainty. The only problem is you never really know that the police (or whoever) aren't planting evidence to frame an innocent person. There are far too many times this has actually happened...
Try running Microsoft Update on XP behind a linux/dansguardian proxy on a computer with Office 2003 and tell me how snappy it is. (Your CPU usage will go to 100% within a minute of bootup) Interestingly, Windows Update runs fine btw.
I like Costco above and beyond any other chain, as they have very high-quality foods, high-quality merchandise, and they even treat their employees well.
Their electronics department doesn't usually have the best prices, but I have had them give me full credit on a 1-year old off-brand plasma (which would flicker for 1-2 mins until warmed up) that I then used to get a 52" panasonic that has been flawless. I doubt I'd have had the same results anywhere else.
Also, that 2% off is kinda nice when buying gas lately...
At least from my background, I have *never* heard of any police harassment of middle-class or wealthier individuals. However, I personally have been pulled over for silly reasons, just because I drove an old and crappy car. Once, the police searched my friends car three times for what was a simple speeding incident. Those experiences alone could cause a difference in our outlooks. I suppose in New York you don't own a car and maybe the police are too busy for simple harassment. Oh, and these events occurred years ago, and they still irk me and I'm not even a minority. I can only imagine the harassment and attitude I'd have if I was black, largely uneducated and from an even poorer neighborhood.
I'm curious as to your background. Did you grow up in the suburbs to middle-class or wealthy parents?
I lot of the resentment people have for police is from simple harassment that we have gone through for ridiculous reasons. True, there are plenty of good officers who are out to make our city better, but it's the few bad officers (who could just be having a bad day) who leave the lasting impressions.
Instead, we should ruin their lives and let them waste away in prison.
I wouldn't be surprised if legalizing illegal drugs and treating them like alcohol or tobacco would cause some harm to some individuals, but it would also help a great many lives and should be a net win. If the drugs are truly as harmful as people say, then they will stop using them of their own free will as they see and hear of the harmful effects on other people.
Most people I talk to seem to fall for these tricks at the gas station. When the prices read out $2.7499/gal, they will *always* talk about how they found gas for only $2.74 instead of the $2.75 I read it as. Of course, it's only a 1 cent difference, so it's just about pointless to care.
So I suppose when you buy ram, you buy it in 1.073742GB sticks or do you actually manage to find 1GiB sticks?
Actually, I would tend to agree with you but Mebibytes and Gibibytes just sound inane.
If I understand what you write here correctly, does this mean that after just 2 false accusations, Stanford can start charging the RIAA $1000.00 for each false accusation? This sounds like an overall win for reducing incoming riaa infringement spam to me as they will have to be very careful with their claims.
The biggest cause of drivers driving at all sorts of crazy speeds, is that they are required -- if they want to optimally catch the most green lights.
On my drive home, some streets I have to drive 44mph (all these streets are 35mph speed limits), and the other main street is a combination of 25mph and 44 mph. Oh, and the timing of the lights seems to change based on time of day as well. I could drive the speed limit, but then I would miss several green lights and it would double my commute time.
I would be all for a computerized car speed and street light system *as long as* the light timing is optimized and variable based on actual traffic heading that direction. Maybe we could even get rid of traffic lights all together?
I used to have reliability issues with my RR connection, but after replacing my cable modem with a new model, it has been flawless.
Also, some time in the last few months, they have massively upgraded their news servers here in Kansas City. Not only do they have 2 weeks of retention, but I can download from the newsgroups at around 7.5mb/s
Exactly. There are exactly zero innocent civilian casualties caused by U.S. armed forces in Baghdad. Any reports to the contrary are obviously liberal media falsehoods.

Assuming your switch supports it, you could use 802.11q packet tagging and vlans.

Thank you! I'd given up on this and I doubt if I'd have ever noticed this fix!!

Seconded, except I don't happen to like ALDI.

Good luck playing back some MP3s on your 33Mhz 386 that came with that 100MB hard drive, heheh. Maybe replace those MP3s with MODs?
GiBs and MiBs are silly anyway. I happen to prefer Microsoft's usage in this case.

I was thinking the same thing. Who's to say that the editor won't still be required to give good reviews to paid advertisers?
Are you really so partisan that you don't see any Republicans doing these things? Not that some Democrats may not be doing them too.
Anything can be considered art. Just imagine the artistry involved in pulling fingernails from your torture victims.

Thanks for the info. I stand corrected about the AC.
I believe you need a DC current to magnetize an object, and I doubt very much an electric burner/kettle/whatever is DC.

Just reboot later and it will be back to normal, or you could restart the service.
Go to Start->Run, type "services.msc", and then stop the "Automatic Updates" service.
