RTFA: We also reached out to the SpamAssassin community (see "What about SpamAssassin?"), but couldn't find someone who could act as a representative for support and configuration assistance.

How does that explain why Shell or BP or whoever doesn't try to get a leg up and start putting some decent money into all the viable alternatives. These companies aren't stupid (look at their revenue and profits).
Solar is an interesting alternative and most likely is the future, but there's still one problem: it takes a long time to actually recoup the amount of energy used to make the solar panels themselves as well as paying for the initial (and ongoing) costs. I live in a northern climate and would love to have solar panels. But they just (currently) don't make sense financialy, unless I plan on staying in my current house for a couple decades.
There are already government subsidies available for helping people install solar panels (including some from my local power company, since they can buy my excess power and sell it for a decent profit).
What I would find interesting is if there was a broader, nation wide policy to help several thousand small businesses and homes convert at least part of their power usage to solar. The cost would be fairly low (in terms of government programs), would provide a huge boost to a growing industry, and it would be a good test for a large scale solar program.
kinda like lots of today's corporate farms plant lots and lots of corn and soy beans.
Wow. You know absolutely nothing about farming. Don't ever speak of it again.
It is good to rotate between corn (or wheat) and soybeans. Typical leftist idiot. Attack something you don't have a clue about, but all your black wearing, anti-everything buddies say that it's bad, so it must be true!
Corn (and wheat and other grass crops) take nitrogen from the soil. Soybeans take nitrogen from the air and put it back into the soil. Using both actually allows the farmers to cut back on things like fertilizers (you know, one of those other evil things that you, I'm sure, know oh so much about). Amazing!
There are already plenty of viable renewable energy resources and technologies that would convert the US from an energy importer to an energy exporter, and many more promising technologies await in the near future.
Name them. If there are plenty of them available then plenty of companies would be making plenty of money on these viable alternatives.
So there is no violence in Half Life 2 then right?
Your taking a commonly used phrase ("There's no comparison") and trying to attack the literal interpretation instead of the intended (and heavily implied) interpretation. That's fine if you want to look foolish. Most people (at least in the US) who understand English know that this phrase simply means "The two things being compared are vastly different". If you are from outside the US, or maybe do not speak English, then I apologize, if not, stop trying to be such a idiotic jackass.
Compare the level of violence, gore, and intensity in Doom 3 and Half Life 2 and you'll find they are on completely different levels. Half Life 2 has guns and shooting and what not, but there are no blood smeared walls, satanic chanting, demons, etc.
Six year olds should definately be allowed to play it without parental consent then huh?
Did I say that? No, I didn't. But how the hell is a six year old going and buying a $50 game? Give me a break. What a worthless argument. If your six year old has a copy of Doom 3 that you don't know about and has somehow installed it on your computer and is playing it without you knowing about it...
I think you've become numb. I played Manhunt and said "Man, this is going a little too far". I think I don't want to live in a nanny state that has to regulate every aspect of life.
Age based restrictions are inherently flawed in that they assume that age relates directly to wisdom.
The governor of Illinois is a Democrat. Illinois is a fairly solidly "blue" state. People on both sides of the political spectrum find video games to be "scary".
What a joke though, in one article I read they listed Halo 2 and Half Life 2 along side Doom 3 and GTA. Like there's any real comparison between those games. It was clear they never played any of the games.
The real question would be, what's your point?, because it's entirely unclear...
My point was that it's perfectly ok for a provider of a service (in this case the US Gov. providing GPS) to block their own service. And it is quite different when another group tries to block said service.
But the reason that it's a bad idea (as posted by several others already), is that system ram is MUCH slower then video ram.
How so? The benchmarks seem to show that this isn't true. The problem before was that the motherboards memory bandwidth was much lower than what the memory could support. This is now not the case. This isn't like the AGP slot which had a total bandwidth of a little over 520MB/s, which is one of the reasons that AGP cards using system memory were pretty slow.
According to Kingston: # Peak bandwidth for PC2100 DIMMs
(8 Bytes) x (266 MHz Data Rate) = 2,128 MB/second which is rounded to 2,100 MB/second or 2.1 GB/second.
# Peak bandwidth for PC2700 DIMMs
(8 Bytes) x (333 MHz Data Rate) = 2,664 MB/second or 2.7 GB/second.
# Peak bandwidth for PC3200 DIMMs
(8 Bytes) x (400 MHz Data Rate) = 3,200 MB/second or 3.2 GB/second.
With that much bandwidth the bottleneck in the systems this kind of card is designed for will be elsewhere.
It's quite different when a service provider stops people from using its service than it is when some third group stops people from using said service.
last time I saw it, perhaps they've changed, or maybe it was just I was watching at some time, but everything being played looked like it was something that was put together by two blind art house retards and sounded worse than yoko ono played backwards
Of course their answer is MTV2 - which just plays fringe crap that only New York snob MTV producers would like - or at least they pretend to like to seem "cool" and "unique" in their musical tastes
no, there was no anti-pirate ads before Oceans 12. There was 6 movie previews (and not the short ones either, the long 2 minute ones) plus about 5 minutes of ads. Including that absolutely stupid fucking one where the guy and girl go to different movies and the guy says "We're still having dinner right? At the same restaurant?"
THAT WASN"T FUCKING FUNNY THREE YEARS AGO AND IT STILL ISN"T. Talk about an ad that makes you not want to do business with someone.

They have a whole page discussing this.
yeah yeah.. I know I screwed up.
I had meant to put the link in the first post and rushed my typing.
Oh well.
Prohibition on Federal Funding for Cloning of Human Beings
In case your interested.
Your ignorance is interesting.
It's not illegal. You just won't get federal funding.

Hustler Magazine would equate to the ESRB rating of "Adult". These games should not allowed to be sold to minors.
I think they should just utilize existing rules and regulations. Doom 3 and GTA should be rated "Adult". Halo 2 and Half Life 2 either Teen or Mature.
None whatsoever?
So there is no violence in Half Life 2 then right?

They invented snow so they could use their recently invented dog sleds on something. Dog sleds were a solution in search of a problem.
Symantec stock is only up 200% over the last two years.
Is anyone sick of all the buyouts/mergers recently? AT&T/Cingular, Sprint/Verizon?
AT&T/Cingular made sense. Their networks are very similar.
Sprint is merging with Nextel, not Verizon. This makes less sense and they are looking to essentialy keep two seperate networks running.
what's a antivirus company want with a backup company?
What's the first thing you wonder when your network gets infected? When was the last time I backed up my data?
It's a perfect fit.
he's going to school in canada
They INVENTED snow

How many of you remember MTV, Nickelodeon, and other cable-only channels were originally commercial-free back in the early 80's?
Ad free television??? You Can't Do That On Television!
