  1. Re:car analogy on Is the Sparc T4 Too Little Too Late? · · Score: 1

    to be fair at most dealership of the price range of Maserati - if they do have a used car department they will normally limit it to cars of the same class, and the rest they blindly send to auction.

    that depends on the dealerships in question.. i bet Maserati dealerships sell next to no minivans.. but then who would go to a Maserati dealer looking for a minivan?

    if your paying 100$ a month just so you can watch your favorite NFL team - i recommend trying a different approach.. trying going out for a local team and spend the money on season tickets..

    my cable company raised rates so that basic cable + basic internet was 125$ a month.. i told them they could keep the bill and the service since they seem to value it more than i do.

    and who exactly are we in need of showing this to? the rest of the world with ICBM's would expect nothing less as they would be in the same situation as us, and the ones that don't have ICBM's know we would never use them against them because of the international fallout that would accompany it.

    EA pissed me off - when they released battlefield 2 on the PC.. it would install but refuse to run if you had things like clone CD or daemon tools installed.

    i can also think of other companies (sony) who have a reputation for installing software along with a product that disables or prevents the user from using other legitimate products.

    that is the one reason i haven't switched to Dvorak - not so much because i would have to use Qwerty on other's computers but rather i work with a laptop - and when at my desk in the dock i could use a Davork keyboard - i can't seem to find a replacement for the one on the laptop.

    not really - it's a 4 seater so you don't get the "sports car" rate.. and i bet the blue book on it is crap. i've got a 79 midget.. and the insurance "value" of the car is ~300$.. when i added it to my insurance ~10 years ago it actually lowered my overall rate because it divided into the drive time of my then more modern and "valuable" car.

    C is the limit of the current frame of reference - for the outside observer (you comment of earth moving while in flight) the Neutrinos would have to be in their frame of reference. and for one (or both) parties time will be adjusted to keep the movement at C.. at least that is what we have as our model right now (which has held up well)

    you put too much faith in the government for me - sorry but i don't trust them any more than i trust a company.

    Personally if you want to snoop and see what you can dig up on me that is "public" information then feel free to do it - if i didn't want people to see it i wouldn't put it in a public place.

Life line - its a 10$ a month phone line that can only call 911.. i don't use my home phone - but i have it because i have a kid .. and if i need 911 a land line is the surest thing to always work.

    what i love is not having Comcast net service for 90 days.. so if they have net access due to need but can barely afford it - they can't drop down to the lower rate which suits their cash flow.. unless they go without for 3 months showing that it isn't needed and rather a luxury to them.. basically screwing over people who need it.

    and as people say no one "needs" a net connection - but hey no one needs anything really
