AHHH! Never ever go to www.tubgirl.com! Damn, and I was about to have good dreams about my first kiss with the girl I love that happened today. Now, I don't want to go to bed.
Don't get me started on this. At a Christian summer camp in Texas, I was told that the fossils of shells on the top of the himalayan mountains were there because of Noah's flood. YA RIGHT! I guess plate tectonics has NOTHING to do with it.
Why the hell are people so screwed up over literal translations of spiritual books? It doesn't make any sense. I've found that you can get all the good out of the even the words of Jesus without believing for one second that he ever came back from the dead, literally changed water into wine, or ever fought the devil hand to hand, mortal kombat style. There is a lot of truth in the bible, but you have to read around some mythological bullshit and read between the lines of fables.
I really don't NEED the government or a church to tell me global warming is a real thing, evolution is a real thing, God is a real thing, or that any one of those concepts is at odds with the other.
It seems more obvious that people with more money have broadband because they can afford broadband rather than people that have broadband have money because they have broadband.
Please enjoy driving your Mexican built VW Beetle, and, as we say in Texas, "Quit yer whining." Thank you very much.

P.S. Since when are highways known as "hazardous waste routes"? Please move to the middle of the desert, immediately. Hell, we've got a bunch of nice dirt roads here in Texas, nothing like super-highways. You'd love it here. Now, God bless, and go to hell.
People that really think the language is the problem are the ones with the problem.
Support the music you like by buying the music you like.
Music requires active concentration to really appreciate it. If you download 8000 songs, you'll never be able to appreciate every one of them. When I buy a CD, I listen to it over and over, and the artists work usually ends up shining through. You don't need that many songs to understand good music.
Here's another one. You don't deserve the music your listening to. If you put in the footwork of going to concerts, shows, being involved in a scene of one type or another, then you'd already know what's worth listening to. When you bulk download Brittney Spears and Linkin Park along with bands like Crass and The Velvet Underground, you're cheapening the good music.
Then theres the issue that tons of really good music can be legitimatly downloaded from independent bands that produce good music. Though, I think you should probably support them by purchasing their CDs as well.
Damn, my iPod is almost full, and I own every song on that 40GB bastard, and I've yet to rip any of my vinyl. Well, fuck it, I've changed my mind. Download all the music you want, you'll never get it anyway, and you're "coolness" factor will never increase when I hear JayZ pumping from your camry on the way to the cube-farm.
Here's why it doesn't matter whether my arguments work or not. Karma, if you don't get it now, you'll get it someday.
They don't just change engine mapping in pitstops. The drivers can actually change the mapping with a control knob on the steering wheel.
The steering wheels are like magical user interfaces. I just WISH this technology would come to road cars. (I am a sports car fanatic)
Some of the cool features of an F1 car have trickled down a bit. Ferrari, BMW, Maserati, Audi, Lamborghini, and even VW with their upcoming GTI have F1 style transmissions. Notice, I really only mentioned three car companies there. I've driven the Maser, Audi, and BMW systems, and I really think BMW's SMG system comes closest to what you might find in an F1 car. I've not driven the Ferrari F1 shifters, but I hear that they've vastly improved since the 355's F1 system.
I believe F1 is taking away the ability to adjust differentials on the steering wheel next year though. There is a bit of a backlash from the sports car driving community against these systems though. Some cars, such as the Maserati Coupe, Ferrari 360 CS, and the upcoming BMW M5 offer no manual shift option. My Dad hates those paddle shifter system, and won't buy any of those cars because of it. I think the biggest mistake was to put a system like that in the Maserati Quatroporte sedan. The system cannot shift the car smoothly, and in a big fancy sedan, that can be a problem. The Audi dual clutch transmission does a better job of shifting smoothly. It's almost too smooth though. Okay, I've gone way off topic here.
Anyway, F1 technology really doesn't make it into road cars that often unless it's got a really good buzz factor, like paddle shifters. What I want is a 20,000 rpm V10 dammit.
Trust me, the whole high-end audio world is having a laugh at the expense of consumers. There exists a turntable (I believe it's by a company called Rockport) that costs more than my car, and I drive an Acura NSX.
If you don't know what the main issues are with "big iron", good luck trying to review them.
1. It takes a while for a good sized IT staff to fully understand the ins and outs of large scale systems.
2. Got JCL?
3. Got DB2? Oracle? other databases with 100k+ tables?
4. Do you have an large temperature controlled room (no, not your apartment's second bedroom)?
5. Got Staff? Got Unix?
6. How are you going to test integration with other large-scale systems. Many companies use several. Hope you can afford the leases on your "test" systems.
This seems like a pie-in-the-sky project that manufacturers won't support.
But, the main thing I want to know is... How fast can I run Doom 3 on a fully configured Silicon Graphics Onyx 3000 with InfiniteReality4 Graphics with 128 CPUs and 16 graphics pipes? I bet the thing would bog down to 14fps with uncompressed textures and 4xAA.
Imagine a beowulf cluster running Xen hosting Tomcat.
Ahh, the joys of running virtual machines on a virtual machine that's part of a giant virtual machine.
Uhh, Bob, how far away from the hardware are we now?
With furniture like that, it's no wonder they weren't creative enough to make it. Fuckers. What the hell does an antique grandfather clock have to do with running a game company? Fuckers.
...one in my hand and the other connected to a long ass string that I drag 100 yards behind me.
Wait. What happens if you shoot someone inside a building, then leave in a ski mask?
Okay, so, the way I'm seeing this is that it only catches extraordinarily stupid criminals. Ya, those are really the mother fuckers we should worry about. It wouldn't have caught a damn one of the 9/11 terrorists though. Use the money for something more worthwhile assholes, and fucking stop shooting each other.
Now all I need is a pci-express -> firewire RAID controller dammit. Guess I can just use Win XP Pro's built in raid, I hear it's really speedy.;)
Seriously, this product is just about as useless as a paper weight. Who's going to shell out $3k for a "desktop" data storage system that's so easily corruptable. One drive fails, the whole shebang is corrupted. Not good. The controller fails, you can't get another one off the shelf.
Then there's the issue of speed. A system set up like this only runs at the speed of one hard drive. That hardly pushes the envelope of the firewire port.
I'm going to have to agree with the others around here. I'd much rather build up a NAS box with Gigabit Ethernet, dual raid controllers running 3 drives in RAID 5 each that only gives me 400 MB total storage for the roughly the same price.
Fast, secure, and maintainable will always beat big in my book.
After a near-all-nighter, I found myself dropping off to sleep around 4AM (EST) and listening to Coast to Coast AM for a little brain drain. The guest last night was talking about the health effects of 2.4GHz signals and made fun of a caller for using a cheap $50 "wireless camera finder" because his "professional" conspiracy theorist equipment ran him $32,000. One caller believed that his neighbors were using wi-fi to give him electrical shocks durning the night. Then, Miss Schizophrenia U.S.A. mentioned called in to note that the government had been using 2.4GHz devices to track her since the 60's. Needless to say, my brain was completely drained after just three phone calls to Coast to Coast AM. If you've never listened to Art Bell, you've got to. It's the best comedic art in America... and around the world. George Noory, the new "weekday" host kind of ruins the comedic part because he doesn't seem to believe every damn thing he hears.
And people really wonder why Windows in unstable?
on
Skype + Kazaa = ?
·
· Score: 1
So the owners of Skype look for a gigantic pre-existing user base, and they turn to Kazaa. This is almost perfect proof that stability, virus, and spyware programs have very little to do with Windows itself.
Kazaa is the worst possible program to run on a PC. First, the program itself is unstable. Secondly, the program includes spyware. And finally (though there probably exist a few more problems), downloading files from unknown sources is a perfect way to get infected by a virus, trojan horse, etc...
Now, being bundled with Kazaa, Skype loses massive credibility in my book, and virtually locks itself out of any business environment. If the company is willing to give up a huge business market share that takes innovation, stability, and a good business plan to earn, they've basically shown that among household users, Kazaa has enough market share to give up on the business sector. If Kazaa's deployment is so widespread, then all of the problems related to Kazaa also must be as wide spread. So, a huge proportion of the problems that people complain about with Windows are a direct result of their own greed, not with windows itself.
Isn't it funny how "cheaters never prosper" applies to every aspect of life?
