in some aspects, yes, is does lessen the chance of getting a virus or some spyware.. a large percentage of users nowadays don't even have a modem, or if they do, its not hooked up to a phone line.. one thing that really screws up people that still use dialup, are Porn Dialers.. i think the good doesn't outweigh the bad, and visa versa.. everyone is vunerable regardless..
where the hell are these kids' parents??? and why aren't they doing anything??? i really hate when the law gets involved with this kinda shit.. because it all winds back down to the parents who are too fucking lazy.. its not hard to regulate what your kids do on a computer, and or its not hard to hire someone knowledgable to set up the security you want.. do your damn jobs as parents..
Freecycle is such a great idea.. i too have been using it for some time now.. its great for my infatuation with obsolete/vintage computers.. and I even gave a home to a kitty from a lady who was giving them away.. my girlfriend gave away tons of boxes full of clothes to another lady who had some kids and was poor.. i think its wonderful, and more people should be introduced to it.. especially lower income people..
As much as I want to say, "HELL YEA TAIWAN" I won't... But I will say that if the Taiwanese people ever get a major country-spread disease such as Malaria, Bill Gates will probably not help them..
they just HAD to throw in that little snippet about ID.. c'mon.. that whole article was pretty fascinating.. but at the very end, it brings up this pointless ID debate.. stop spending time trying to prove each side wrong..
i don't like seeing money wasted just to prove a point.. use that time to figure out something remarkable.. i'm not a religious man by any means, but even I find the scientists that use science to actually prove God's existence much more interesting in some cases than the people that use science to disprove His existence..
probably lots of you have mentioned this.. i personally thing E-book readers are a great idea.. especially with this new E-ink technology.. but you've got to be out of your mind if you're selling them for $300-400 ?? thats a price of a fucking sweet ass PDA.. what the hell's the point??
is it just me, or is Fatal1ty like the gayest alias in the history of gaming? for being one of the best gamers there is, he sure picked a noob of a nick.. hehe
although I do feel bad for these people, I really think SpySpace is pure shit.. of course this is my personal opinion, so I really don't need to hear the defense from any users, on behalf of myspace..
as a geek, I'd be the first person to promote a new form of communication, that keeps friends in touch with one another.. i just think people get this weird feeling in their minds when they are searching through people's myspace profiles constantly.. its like virtual stalking.. plus its fucking owned by Fox.. Myspace to me, is like the lazy man's blog.. there's virtually no content about the person's life or opinions, just pictures.. people don't want to stay in touch, or communicate.. They merely want to see how people are "looking"..
people are too fucking lazy.. it seems like the less reading they do, the happier they are.. by the way, who the hell is stupid enough to trade copyrighted videos/music, and correspond about illegal videos/music through myspace?? if ya ask me, i say fuck 'em..
well see, you have a special case.. and if you would of correctly read my previous posts, than you would see that I have nothing against people that use the vehicles practically.. I really think you under-estimate the amount of people that use SUVs on a daily basis.. even for their stupid commutes to and from work.. there are a lot more people that use SUVs for stupid purposes, than people who use them for practical purposes.. you can obviously see that when you see a fucking spotless hummer driving down the highway.. its what america wants.. pull your head out of your ass whitey
sorry, but i'm probably the whitest bastard there is.. but i'll admit unlike yourself, that the white race is probably the worst and has the most shameful past.. regardless, why do you defend little white women that drive SUVs?? are you a little white woman that is the epitome of america?
because little white women that drive SUVs fucking piss me off.. what do you think the purpose of my comment was?? do you think its practical for them to drive such things?? i know this is a free country and all, but damn.. i have just as much freedom to bitch about stupid white women driving SUVs, as the white women do in having the freedom to drive SUVs in the first place.. and yes, its typical/extremely common to see little white women driving SUVs.. open your fucking eyes you anonymous coward.. inductive reasoning anybody??
its all of our gas, so yes, I can say "my" gas.. and when we all take from the same pot, its wrong when other people take more than what's practical.. driving an SUV serves NO purpose unless you're towing boats on a daily basis or you're a off-road fanatic.. little white women, are not using these for anything practical, and therefore they deserve to be made fun of..
i always disliked seeing little tiny white women driving Ford Excursions, while talking on their cell phone, probably to a man that she's having an affair with, as I stare at the little soccer ball sticker on the back windshield.. lemme tell ya.. i feel really safe with these bastards on the road.. people are so god damn caught up with the "social status" factor of vehicles.. i certainly don't give a fuck about what kinda car you drive.. but i will give a fuck if you sit there and waste my gas, kill my environment and other people driving on the roads just because of your social status complex..
definitely agreed.. public broadcasting is essential for this country, and the world.. the only news worth watching too..
the programming is also great.. its nice being able to exercise your brain a little rather than just zoning in to complete nothingness..
primary example of our tax dollars at work.. the people that make NPR and PBS possible work pretty damn hard to provide us with great television for free public use.. i think the digital switch will be a good thing if it benefits PBS in some way.. which it will.. its just that whole spending $1.5 billion dollars thing.. if we start informing the public about the analog/digi switch now, then sooner than later, the prices of the set top box converters will go down in price..
Just my personal opinion here of course.. I'm all for the switch to DTV.. But I do agree that its outrageous for the US Government aiding the public with the digi switchover for the price of 1.5 billion dollar..
so many people complain about taxes.. but lets set some things straight firstly.. your sewage, roads, libraries, public schools, NPR, PBS, parks, and all the wonderful things that we benefit from are thanks to our tax dollars.. and we need to continue to "invest" our money wisely..
it seems like there's no way to win when it comes to this kinda stuff.. i feel that its extremely important for the american people, and all people for that matter, to have access to public broadcasts both radio and television.. its the only damn news worth watching.. the only news that isn't shoving an opinion down your throat, or calling you an idiot for thinking otherwise.. *cough* bill oreilly *cough*..
therefore, if they are going to switch over to digi broadcasts, then its essential that we spend the money to make sure everyone has the technology, and I personally appreciate the consideration of those who need the equipment..
HOWEVER, all it really takes is simple promotion.. Slashdot isn't enough.. the majority of the world doesn't read slashdot unforutnately.. there's NO information in the mainstream regarding this switch.. most people don't even KNOW that there will no longer be analog broadcasts in 2009.. I asked my parents about it and they just looked at me like I was crazy.. they don't even know the difference between analog and digital..
but if we start NOW, by spreading the word, and educating the masses a little, then maybe we'll all go out an get one of those digital set top box converters.. if we're lucky, by 2009, they'll be as cheap as bunny ears.. again, the consideration is a nice thought, but we could definitely use that 1.5 billion for something a little more useful..
i always thought it would be a good idea for google to do something like this.. i've been reading other people's comments about how stupid it will be, but google has yet to fail us.. well, they have yet to fail "me" thats for sure..
if this is true, taking over the OS market is hardly what their goals should or will be.. if anything, they'll develop something great, simply to make computing better for the people.. I personally think it would be awesome if they made google PDAs rather than desktop computers.. they could have a simple OS on there, with all their cool applications like google desktop and a GPS'd version of Google Earth hehe.. its a long shot, but if this is what Google wants to do, we'll just have to sit back and watch what happens.. hopefully their computers won't end up in the "internet appliance" pile..
although I agree with you 100% regarding the definition of bribery, I still think its a little unfair considering that Microsoft hardly has any competition in the operating system market..
but think about the companies Microsoft is giving incentives to.. they benefit HIGHLY on the use of Microsoft products.. its simply an added bonus for them.. maybe the people that are backing Blu-Ray need to hand out some incentives too.. I'd gladly take some free Sony shit;-)
isn't that bribery?? i'm just curious to know wether or not Microsoft could get in trouble for that considering that they are putting Blu-Ray in danger.. even though, i personally think the HD-DVD will be better performance wise any way, I still think they deserve a fair chance.. let em die in honor..
Of course, but cutting down trees certainly won't save the environment either.. Trees do not deplete our ozone.. they simply freshen the air, and clear up part of the atmosphere where smog, and other air pollution rests..
a big part of their argument is that the smog acts almost as if its sunblock.. ultimately making the temperature on earth cooler.. but you can't honestly say, that we need to pollute more, just so we can have our sunblock on;-) we need to be thinking LONGTERM which is the most important factor.. yes, if we slowly decrease our use of gas-guzzlin' bitches, it will get hotter on earth.. if we plant trees, it will clean up the polluted air which acts as our sunblock, making the earth much hotter.. but hey, we better start now, because it'll be twice as hot, if we wait too long..
good point.. but it still doesn't take a genius to see that the site obviously categorized and had specific sections for, "Games", "TV SHOWS", "MOVIES" etc.. a site like that easily gets discovered.. i just think there are MUCH better means of fileserving than a website.. its re-goddamn-tarded to have anything illegal on your website..
well i guess thats what happens when you offer warez over HTTP.. atleast be a little more secretive.. shit man.. you know when your site comes in Google searches for free movie torrent downloads, that its NEVER a good thing.. its like a pot dealer with a delivery website.. you're gonna get caught.. but if ya just divvy it out amongst your friends, things are gonna be just fine.. god damn glory..
i don't understand why people even give Dell the time of day even for reviews.. i've never used a system that has worked.. its such a sad shame that college campuses, and offices all across the world use Dell products because of the price.. all because they are cheap.. the money saved, is easily put back into repairing the confounded machines.. don't even get me started with the laptops.. i've had 5 customers bring in their laptops over the span of 1 month, and their screens no longer worked.. Dell is by far the Packard Bell of the modern day..
its amazing how someone so grammatically correct can be so retarded not to understand a story.. you need to get out more, and "understand" people.. instead of being a petty, critical, ass.. if i didn't feel strongly about this issue, I wouldn't of commented in the first place.. If you noticed, this thread was modded 4+ Informative.. Apparently there's something the moderator can see, that you don't.. an Anonymous Coward, is hardly worth my time..
