man that's a damn shame.. seems like for every 5 great transactions, there's always one to screw ya over.. under most circumstances I wouldn't of even bothered sending someone a money order to the guy.. but i figured he did it 47 other times without any problems, and it SHOULD of been fine.. even it was someone who just buys shit on ebay, i would of trusted with my money order.. but the fact that certain ebay accounts are being taken over is what scares me the most about trusting people.. someone criticized me for sending a money order, but as you said, you paypal'd someone and still got screwed.. paypal is probably even EASIER than stealing someone's money from a MO or check..
Flamebait -1 for you.. the form of payment doesn't matter a damn bit.. I was simply looking for a good deal on a harddrive.. Considering A LOT of ebay sellers REFUSE to use Paypal because of the %'s taken out, it was a perfectly valid reason for me, as an experienced powerseller with over 19,000 positive transactions, to send someone a money order if they were simply requesting one.. A personal check or a money order is equally protected as a damn paypal payment as well.. so it really doesn't matter.. so sparky, you need shut your god damn jew mouth..
just wanted to share a little ebay story.. I purchased a 60gb Seagate Harddrive for $25 buy-it-now from a Seller with 100% Positive Feedback (47).. Not bad, so I figured I'd give it a try.. He only accepted money orders, which I thought was a little suspicious, but I figured he has been doing this for a while, so there's nothing to fear.. also, he used a fancy checkout system from MarketWorks.. I sent the money order via priority mail so it'd get there super quick.. The next day eBay emails me to say that the Seller I bought from was actually a hacker that took over somebody elses account, and they cancelled ALL his listings, and suspended the account.. They apologized numerous times, and I explained to them that I already sent the money order.. They "recommended" that I file a dispute right away so I can get my money back.. I go to file a dispute and it says that I need to wait 10 days after the start of the transaction to determine its a valid dispute..
its just ridiculous because they're already determined its a valid dispute.. the stupid bastards cancelled all his auctions and suspended the seller's account.. doesn't that give me the right to automatically start this damn dispute so I can get my money back? of course not.. I could of stopped payment on the Money Order, but I rather keep this fight with eBay going.. there's still quite a bit of work they need to do to stop all this fraud.. I've filed formal complaints with I3C and with the USPS for mail fraud..
I guess what is equally as ridiculous is the fact that someone would go through so much time listing auctions for a measley 30 bucks, and having the possibility of getting charged for mail fraud and being under investigation by the IC3..
thanks so much for the info.. low and behold UAE was sitting right in my repositories:-D! the configuration looks awesome.. i guess i just need to make a diskfile then we'll be good to go..
emulator or vmware?

AmigaOS 4
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
i'd really like to try AmigaOS 4 out.. I google'd some screenshots, and it looks fun to experiment with just for something different.. i'd like to try emulating an Amiga system.. Or possibly using something like Vmware.. does anyone know if this can be done?
i personally think this is atleast a step in the right direction.. a lot of people are complaining about it being in a web-browser, and how lame it would be to watch a movie on your computer.. well, being that I have my TV hooked up as a secondary display, I'm sure it will be just fine.. atleast fine enough to get the point of the movie across.. I know not to be looking for DVD quality with this of course..
I don't think I'll use the service all the time, but I wouldn't mind using it if the quality is somewhat decent.. I don't know whether or not Netflix will do this, but I'd like to pay for the movies as I watch them.. Optionally.. I'd gladly pop in my CC#, and pay like $1-$3 bucks for a one time stream that would let me watch it for up to 3 days.. I don't watch movies enough to pay someone a monthly fee.. but if i'm feeling lazy, and want something quick, then this might be the way to go.. I guess it also will depend on whether or not we can actually Full Screen the stream..
i'm so sick and tired of hearing this crap.. don't ban google.. if you want to ban someone, ban the federal and state governments that actually approve of updating PUBLIC satellite data and imagery.. and of course governments and leaders that do the same thing in other countries.. google simply utilizes it..
I think its ridiculous that these phones cost almost twice as much as a Pocket PC or PDA Phone.. and you can't install 3rd party apps?? that's insane.. firstly, there's a huge market out there for stupid ass little $10 pocket PC games.. Someone mentioned the possibility of viruses, and I understand that reasoning, but the damn thing still costs $500+ and that is insane for the amount of features it has.. what saddens me the most about the iPhone, is that people are definitely going to buy it.. they've successfully manipulated the uneducated and or stubborn and trendy people..
*pets his XV6700 with slide-out keyboard which also supports activesync*
$500 big ones for that damn thing eh? don't mean to piss anyone off here, but thats a retarded price.. but what is equally as sad, is that everyone who already has an ipod or a mac will already buy one because money is no object.. but if it navigates anything nearly as good as the ipod, it'll probably be worth it.. i just wish it was cheaper..
thanks for the info on the CarveWright.. that thing is incredibly bad ass.. i'd like one for myself.. its amazing that this kind of stuff is becoming so readily available for the regular ol' public..
I was really looking forward to seeing how this person actually implemented a Linux server in their business.. I only read about the anti=MS spam.. which is fine and all, but people need to see why Linux works so well.. there were no steps regarding the installation process.. it was more like a big rant about 3rd party HD drivers.. i agree, HP should have thought much more about that.. those restore cd's are a big fuckin joke.. but i'd like to hear the specifics and technicalities one must go through when migrating to Linux.. unfortunately this article didn't not provide that.
its not sad.. what's sad is how the educational system intimidates and influences younger students to despise reading books.. you speak the way you do because you are an experienced reader.. maybe if i had read the many great books that you have, then I'd feel differently about HP in a assinine critical type of way.. I've read many better books than HP, but THANKS to HP I wouldn't of even bothered picking up the Thrawn Triology by Zahn, or the Lord of the Rings, or even His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman.. there's no sense in demeaning something that does more positive than negative..
hehehe ok ok.. i lol'd at most comments.. some were down right retarded.. but i will say this, the 7th book is something we've all been waiting for, and i'm sure there's a lot of us on here that are looking forward to reading it, regardless of how many of you actually want to admit it..
flamebaiting lamer as I may be, the HP books got me interested in fantasy novels and series all together.. i'm 26 years old, and didn't read crap worth of books after high school.. had a girl push the first couple books on me, and i thoroughly enjoyed them and many other books thereafter.. i'm a bit in debt to harry potter.. without it, i would of forgot why books are so awesome.. might be a lame excuse, but it's true for me..
makes me wonder, that without these super giant software companies, would opensource care to thrive or would people be even as committed as we are today? its not like we're trying to take them down and out.. we just want to give everyone the ability to use a computer regardless of money.. they both need to coexist to exist in the first place..
also wanted to add, that i think it should be mandatory for everyone to learn about gun safety.. if people are educated about it, then they won't be scared of it..
I've thought long and hard about this.. and as a bleeding heart liberal, i can understand perfectly fine why it wouldn't be good to ban guns.. first of all you must realize that banning guns, is not going to solve the problem of people getting shot.. the bad people will still get their guns, and people will still die regardless.. i agree that regulation on legitimately owning a firearm should probably increase a bit.. in order to truly compromise here, i think that we're going to have keep guns legal, but make it hard to actually obtain one.. i took the hunter's safety and gun safety course when I was fucking twelve years old.. maybe even eleven.. just because i did that, i don't think it really qualifies me to own a firearm without just a little more knowledge and experience on how to use this weapons..
the fact of the matter is, parents are really fucking stupid.. guns will never magically disapear one day, so we're obviously going to need to just properly educate kids and even adults on why everyone doesn't really need to own a gun.. but if you are, here's how to be safe about it..
continuing my thought about the existence of guns being inevitable, i wouldn't want to ban the right to protect myself in anyway.. 3 years ago i would of said fuck guns and anything related to them.. but the world doesn't seem to be getting any safer.. whether its the people, or the government that want to kill ya..
IPCop is a great linux-router distro for old crappy machines as well.. i have it running at home on a pentium 133 with 32 megs of ram.. its been up 96 days without any problems at all.. the BSD based firewalls are great as well, but there's really not that much of a performance difference in my opinion.. they all do the same exact thing in the long run.. i guess its just a matter of your personal preference.. but for those of you who have an old piece just sitting in your closet, it'd make a great IPCop box.. incredibly easy to setup as well..

we must teach the romanians how to properly use the apostrophe (') key instead of using the tick/grave (`) key.
