Yes, bittorrent is dead. Nothing to see here, move along. Suprnova was the only website that was or would have been able to host torrent files for the general populace to download.
Now you're probably the toughest tomato pusher in your unit. You got to wear chainmail too! That's a job skill you can use to apply for a guard position at some Ren-fest.
Everyone knows that you start by washing the lettuce. After a few weeks there, if your skills start to show, they try you out on the fryer or grill. Years of hardwork down the road and it's a management city full of easy streets for you.
Ah, that part isn't hard- simply revalue the money supply. But it would take an iron fist, lots of guns, and a willingness to let the majority of millionaires be poor to do it.
Quite the faux pas. I only just noticed the Marxist schtick in your name. I could've saved us both a few posts.:D
I stand by my opinion that the market will not support the price hikes necessary to go "America Only". The majority of the free world wants the best product for the lowest price. If it turns out that eleven year olds working for one bowl of rice every three days can get America the industrial materials to build new schools or a particular plant for the newest cancer medication, then you can be sure that the whip is going to be cracked harder.
It wouldn't be hard to produce everything we need domestically. Coming up with five to ten times our current income to scrape out an existance is another story.
Luxuries? Let's go on down the line then. If we start banning/boycotting imports from countries that use "objectionable" practices then where do we stop? What if your "Assembled in USA" clock/radio used components that were manufactured by ten year olds in a third world country? Want to imagine making monthly payments on a Starbucks' latte during a serious coffee embargo because the growers in south America are made to work 90 hour weeks? Hey, the paper and ink used to print children's textbooks come from a rainforest, no more learning to read for the low income Americans!
Extreme I know, but isn't/. all about extreme views?
If America relied on it's own industry for things like this, prices for these items would be ten times what they are now.
Red China may not treat its workers with the most respect, but I'll be damned if they can't put out a reasonably priced product. What's wrong with that?
XP Professional has more than just the ability to join a domain.
Multi-processor support
Dynamic Disk Support
RIS
IIS built in
The list goes on, but aside from IIS would the average joe really need Remote Installation or Multi-processor support? Home is a cheaper license, and you lose features that you probably don't use anyway.
That hip "underground" (read: mom's basement) crowd that doesn't see the benefit in something like this. The minute people like the parent see the word microsoft they go into a self-induced froth and start posting flames annonymously. Does your face get red too?
A lot of existing businesses already have the Microsoft infrastructure in place(AD included). Something like this would open the door for Linux clients/servers as a gradual upgrade option for those businesses that can't just switch over to a new platform all at once.
Anyone who works and in turn supports the company they work for is now considered to be less credible than the next. All the hardcore people are talking trash about the companies they work for anyway.
Enjoy living out of some relative's garage/basement.
As well, the value of anyone's opinion is the same as the next. I'm free to state my belief that Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is a better title than whatever your favourite first person shooter is, and you have no place in telling me that I'm wrong. (Imagine that) The minute I try to state it as fact is when you can blow your imaginary whistle.
A member of the OSS community has hacked them to run linux.
However, due to difficulties in porting the kernel over some features are a bit lackluster. So the camera no longer functions, the mp3 player performance is somewhat slow, no contact information can be saved, and you can no longer receive calls or dial out.
On the bright side they never crash, and you've never seen pong like this before!

That opening in the top isn't just where you put the water anymore.

Back to the Mom's garage crowd on mIRC with you!
A game trailer that looks better than the actual game !?
No..... fucking..... way....
Preschool teachers take college courses(with real professors, wow!) to learn how to present information to the younger audiences too.
It's not as easy as you're thinking it is.

Web design really DOES open doors!

Everyone knows that the real hardcore people run Linux exclusively. The geek section of Hot topic is all penguin shirts for a reason.
Ye olde cheape keychain laserth have trouble making a visible beam in a smokey room. Once you get above the five dollar mark they begin to improve.
You can get anything you want.. ...at Alice's Restaurant.
You can have my Laser pointer when you pry it from my cold dead hand!
The "good" laser pointers give you a visible beam to work with.
Faction(House?) based PVP and no NPC shops? Sounds like Star Wars Galaxies.
excellent!
I suppose if you state your opinion about my opinion as an opinion and not as a fact. Then you are, in fact, using my own logic against me.
I think I'm safe against that in this thread though.

It's probably all the low-impact aerobics.
