I don't know that we would gain ground. I would think that the uncovered, new ground would be somewhat offset by the losses occured due to the "sea level" raising, but I'm no geologist. I'M with ya tho'!
I wouldn't worry too much. If MS has their way, the Feral Robot Dogs will run on Windoze, experience a software based "illegal operation", and get caught up in a neverending "loop" sniffing each others butts.
To the admin. of/. Have you thought of turning the power of/.'s smoking servers into an additional income source? I mean, you could offer to "Load Test" some outfits new servers for a fee and then just post a link on/. announcing something like: free beer and women who love geeks-click here. If their servers could take that, then they could be assured that their servers could stand up to anything short of a direct hit from nukular WMD's!
That would be funny if it wasn't sooo fitting. May O'Gara's next plane flight be hijacked, diverted to Antarctica, hijackers toss here out, and she be drowned by a cluster of mad penguins!
180Solutions give you a choice? Forget about it. The only choice you will have to not get the adware will be to not install the game. My past experience with 180Solutions was almost as frustrating as Gator. I don't see them changing ethics that much.
That IS a very interesting question indeed. This may be an interesting path to pursue in letting our respective lawmakers know what we want or don't want. Thanks for the new perspective!
I JUST HAVE to stop telling myself "yeah, I've seen it all now"! LOL! It just goes to show ya that if you can't find it on the internet, it probably can't be found at all.
Well said! Experience and example now dictate that honesty, fair, and honor are three words that should not be used at all when referring to Microsoft.

"In short, industry players that have embraced VC-1 fear they may have to go back to Microsoft and pony up fees for a WMVx license in the future. MPEG's Koenen dismissed such a possibility. "Microsoft knows better than that," he said." WTF is he smokin'?
By being a simple building block, of course. Just because you seem to have a different opinion of building blocks doesn't mean the rest of the world has to conform to your opinions.
It's still using IE according to the article. Is IE running with CE more secure from bugs than IE on XP? I honestly don't know, that's why I'm asking, not to be a jerk.:)
Makes me wonder about all of the "impossible" things that will happen when PIGS fly, that's gotta be next! BTW, I also am beyond baffled by it's ability to fly that well.?!
I agree, the one I got from "citi-bank" looked ALMOST EXACTLY like citi-bank's REAL site, but I knew immediately it was bogus when it "needed me to update my account info" due to the fact that I have NEVER owned a credit card, but I could see where people used their bank online could be caught if they were not paying close attention. On the other hand, I "won" 8 seperate lotteries in UK this morning! LOL
Don't fret too much, we're just as stupid about our own country too. I used to work around New York City in construction and just before I decided to move back to Oklahoma, I was talking to the electricians on break, mentioning I was going back to Oklahoma. One of the elctricians ( a NY City born & bred one) looked at me like I was crazy and said:" Man, you must be NUTS, Don't they still have Cowboys & Indians out there? F*** That!"
You are sooo right there. I applaud their efforts on the graphics and realism, but I guess the compaint I have is with a.) game developers that concentrate on "eye candy" at the expense of "gameplay", and app, developers (Ie: have you seen the min req.'s MS propose for Longhorn? whew!) that seem to take the easiest route to added/improved/new features without a thought to optimising code. I have to be taken with a grain of salt on this subject, as I'm not a programmer, my focus has been on the hardware side, so I am slightly(? or more?) biased. Apreciate the info. It's such a pleasure to have an informative conversation! Thanks!
We understood you meant GHz. IMHO, yes you could be right about that. At least it would help them tremendously to get their dual core out with AMD's, if they don't they will lose a lot of the market "lead" they have now. And I don't think they will be happy if they find themselves having to play catchup with AMD. (I personally think AMD has a slight lead right now, it's really starting to show in the market.)

I can see the smoke from here! I hope he feels the flames from his box crawling up his ass like wildfire. GOOD JOB!
Thanks for a superb job well and timely done!

Why mistreat the poor dogs? But then again, my garbage gut mutt actually seems to like Spam(tm). Nevermind....
"Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should ." You should have used your own advice and not posted.

Dogs have been drinking toilet water for decades with no ill effects. Move along!
Btw, you left out animal crackers!

Don't blame them, I wouldn't want to go into the desert either. This way it's easy to locate!
