No....I was merely stating the fact that there have been some problems (since no one else seems to be having them), and stated the fact that I could write a program so other people wouldn't write back saying, "Here's a program for you." because I'll be able to get it done on my own. That's all that I was stating.
My parent's 486's BIOS has a problem with Y2K. I can set the year in the BIOS, via DOS prompt, or via Windows and it will report the date as 2094 upon booting. Oh well, I'll write a ASM program that will run on bootup...
Remember, it still has a PSN. I'm thinking the average consumer forgot all about it, and they will buy them still. Remember to tell people about the PSN and see what they decide then.
They could lose banner money when people do the searches on e-bay, or they can lose to other auction sites. If I could tell you where the cheapest pop in town was, you would go there, wouldn't you? If you went to a random grocery and it was cheap, but you didn't know if it would be cheaper other places, you might get it even though it could possible be more expensive than other places.

But what would be considered a squatter? Wouldn't I have the right to register geek.com, geekboy.com, computergeek.com, etc? I'd use them all for me, but I'm not squatting, am I?
If domains were still free, then the cybersquatters would start registering everything possible. It would be impossible to get a domain that was based on dictionary words. I'm glad that domains cost money. If they were $5 a piece, then people would register more of them and not even use them for anything.
Ever had your palms, fingers, and wrists massaged? It actually feels quite good. Perhaps there's a FAQ out there on how to properly massage the hands and wrists.
Does anyone out there have any preventative measures that don't cost a few hundred dollars? I'm a student right now and can't afford that kind of stuff.
Instead of e-mailing Amazon and saying, "I'm not going to buy from you anymore....", e-mail B&N and say, "If you fight this case instead of cowering, I will be a faithful customer to you. If you give in, I will not buy from you."
Well, if we go by binary numbers, the next "odd" year would be 2047 (11111111111) and the odd month and day would both be 1 (they don't include leading zeroes, neither do I). And I'm sure some of us will live to the year 2047. When will the next odd time be since UNIX epoch?
At my college, alot of people share MP3's over SMB. I've also noticed that some people share their C:\ (with no password, and sometimes full-access:)
Usually, you can go to C:\Program Files\Winamp\ and find a few MP3's. I'm wondering if these people would be in trouble, even though they're probably not aware that they're sharing at all. If I share a folder that contains many things (source code, GNU utils, articles I wrote, and Oops! My Mp3 folder, and I gave it the name of "Personal Archive" would I be held accountable?

I'd want one of the really really really small comets. Imagine building a house that only has a front. The entire hallway loops around the planet.....of course, it would have to be really dense to provide adaquate gravity.
Highlight files. Click (#1) Are you sure you want to delete? Click Yes (#2) File "blah.exe" is a program, if you delete....are you sure? Click Yes (#3)
Of course, this is if you select multiple files that contain.exe and non.exe. Yeah, we'll delete that.dll with no problem, but we'll make sure you don't delete the.exe accidentally. Of course, then you go the the recycle bin, empty, confirmation.....I'm not going to do all that math.:)
OK....everyone does the One-Click thing. Why not just make a button that you have to click twice? This would be a slap in the face to Amazon....set up something like:
Click Here to Order button You click, and another window comes up saying, "Are you sure you want to purchse (product)?" With an "Yes" button and a "No" button. Click on "Yes" and it makes the purchase.
The reason I don't use Linux as my main OS: I won't sync with my Nino. (Don't reply saying I should've boughten a Palm, I bought the Nino before I got the urge to use Linux as my main OS). But now I don't want to switch to Linux full-time because it would render my PDA somewhat useless. If the source for CE was released, I could sync with my Linux box. If anyone knows a way to do this, please let me know. I don't know why anyone hasn't started something like this yet.
This is the first thing that needs to be fixed in Hollywood. People are not plugging in the monitors. I always laugh when I see that. Usually they have the cable, but no power cord. I remember this from Varsity Blues, but I can't think of any other ones off hand. TV shows do it alot too.

How much evidence is there for the existence of Echelon?
Will people now sue the government for trying to cover up Roswell? Sue the CIA for assassinating Kennedy?

The site was slashdotted, so this might be on it. What I like to do:
Name variables a series of l's (the letter) and 1's (the number). So you'll have:
ll1l1lll1
ll11ll1l1
1ll1l1l11
ll1111lll
and so on. Sure, if they use a font that clearly shows the difference, it's no fun. But it can be!

Could there be anything posted here that could get the Off-Topic moderation? Ironically, this post is probably it :)

But what about having the X11 prefs and stuff be copied at startup? That way if someone gets corrupted, he could just reboot.
