I had Blockbuster Online rental which is pretty much the same as Netflix. I liked it for about a year and then all the movies I wanted to see were gone. I watched them all. After that, I started to rent the season collections of TV shows and that got boring. I just quit my membership and that was that. Haven't missed it at all.
Thats the exact reason. I have an AMD64 3200, 1GB ram, 500GB hard drive in Raid0, NVidia 6800GT, etc, etc, etc. It still does everything perfect and I am the type of person that will go out and buy something new if I see even a hint of slowdown. I play all the newest games, love to do video editing and a little bit of everything else. Hardware has just surpassed software finally. Except for the Vista Beta2. That crap crawls on my system. I really hope its the fact that its beta because I just wont' buy it if its just Vista.
Oh look, a linux fanboy defends linux by saying that it was bold that the admins told us they were hacked. Now its ok because we know. A Windows server gets hacked and its laughter and pointing of fingers with more laughing to continue. I have a feeling this is just one of the first linux hacking jobs. Hackers have realized that Windows is hackable and they are moving their attention to linux.
Well if they can afford all these shiny expensive things, they shouldn't have food stamps/welfare/LINK cards/whatever you wanna call it and start buying food with their money.
Well then, how come when I go grocery shopping, I see people take out some form of voucher. No, they aren't stamps anymore, but I used the term 'food stamp' because it is a well known term. These people used this voucher to purchase certain types of groceries and then cash to buy the rest. I once asked the check out person what the voucher was for and they simply responded it was federal aide, similar to welfare.
PS, I vote for whoever I agree with, I could care less about what party they are with. See, I can bold stuff too.
Or is the fact that a lot of people put their wants before their needs. We live in a time where society puts the value of what they have, how much of it, and how new is it before everything else. Example. Have you ever looked at the people in the supermarkets that use food stamps. A lot of them, but not all, have their nails done, their hair professionaly styled, name brand clothing/atire, more makeup on their face than they really need, a brand new gas guzzling SUV every year or two, etc. Last time I checked, all of that was quite pricey. I know I can't afford it and I make a decent living. But oh ya, though I buy Target brand clothes, inexpensive shoes, get my hair cut at the local barber, tell my wife to wear less makeup because its expensive, and so on and so forth, I can use the money I earn to buy food for my family.
I love having the latest and greatest tech gadgets and computer components. But one needs to realize there are more important things in life and I think that notion is disappearing.
You say religious freaks. How about just moral people. You know, morality; that thing that used to exist in the majority of people instead of the minority.
How about people that don't want their 6 year old calling them a bitch because they heard it on TV.
How about cutting out the sex scenes so we reduce the number of teenage pregnancies. Everyone wants their kids to experience everything, well guess what...they do experience everything when they are young, then get get pregnant, or a STD at age 16 and then guess what, their life is screwed. And why is it screwed...because mommy and daddy let their kids watch sex scenes in movies at age 10 and their kids wanted to do it as soon as they could.
A good action film is still entertaining to watch without hearing the 'F' word every 5 seconds.
Well then, lets see what the movie companies think when the people that buy the clean version of the movie quit buying the movies all together and they start to lose revenue. Its a person's choice to watch a movie or not if it offends them and if they can't watch a clean version of it, well then they just won't watch it. Will this be a lot of revenue. I don't know, but but I bet it will make a small dent.
Why exactly would it spawn more Linux installs? If anyone is running Windows 98 or Me right now its because they probably don't do anything more than use a word processor or check their e-mail. Also, such users would probably not want to install Linux because they would have no idea how to use it, you know, being to scared to actually click a button and try something new. Ya, if they still have Windows 98, they will have Windows 98 until their hardware dies, and then go buy a Dell. Poor souls.
And if the title read "OSS Web Stacks Outperforms.Net" I would bet it would not say anything like this The article's conclusion is that.Net outperforms the open source stacks, mainly because of its tighter integration, but also notes that running the open source stacks on Windows (WAMP) delivered strong performance.". It would say something like The article's conclusion is that OSS Web Stacks outperforms.Net by a large margin. Though we knew this all along because OSS is better than Microsoft. Why are people still using.Net or any Microsoft products.
Why did he get troll for this. Its auctually an interesting point. If the areas that are vunerable get the flyers, its a giant bulls eye for neighbors to flip on their wifi cards and look for free interent.
I would love to have one, but wouldn't dare wear it outside anywhere. Every person I know already knows I am a huge nerd, but still. By wearing that, it gives all other nerds the right to kick my @$$ too.
"Worlds best Word Processor, Spreadsheet...." Says who? The niche market of people that get OpenOffice with their flavor of linux? If its the world's best, the world would be using it. But guess what, the world doesn't use it. The world primarily uses MS Office.
Perhaps the people making these "blacked out documents" should be taught a little about Vector Graphics and that a black box is not the same as a sharpie. One word for them 'n00b'!!
Not only that, but unless this guy was using their internet to view illegal kiddie-porn that should never have been mentioned. He could have been 19 and slept with his 17 year old girlfriend from high school and the girls parents got pissed and had him arrested. Not only did that ruin his life, but can now be used against him for things as petty as piggybacking a free and open wifi hotspot. Now if he was 45 and slept with a 17 year old, then he can burn in hell.
Six years of running Outlook and I haven't gotten one of these virus things you talk about. In fact, I have only gotten one virus ever and all it did was shutdown my machine. Good 'ole shutdown/a as soon as your login solved that and it was cleaned up. Viruses are for n00bs.
So that is why when I was a kid I couldn't dig a hole to China. Apparently, you have to live in Chile or Argentina to dig a hole to China. At least a straight hole.
You have to wonder if this 'deadly foam' isn't a normal occurance. I mean up until 2003, it was never an issue. Perhaps the foam came off every launch and it just wasn't ever noticed. Now that the accident happened in 2003, everyone is watching for it to happen and just like it has since the shuttle's first launch, the foam falls off.
Its just like if you go to the doctor and tell him to do a full physical on you, MRI, blood test, the works. Its almost a guarantee they will find something wrong, even if you have had it for years. The NASA engineers just never looked for falling foam.
Ya, leaks suck. My Koolance setup has been great for about three years, except with I over tighened the fill plug and it was leaking outside the case. There was no threat to my machine, just had to replace the resovoir. As for your leaky water blocks. SOrry to say, but you must have had some really cheap connectors on it or or peiced together your own hose, fasteners and blocks from different sources. http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPat h=29_44&products_id=114 is just one example of the blocks I use. The hose gets pushed on the end and then the metal fastener screws on top of the hose. There is no way it will come off or leak unless you loosen the fastener.
The point is that how do these people make so much money. Its becasue the albums are way overpriced. If many people can make millions off the sale of a single album, then the overhead profit of that album is too much. If one million albums and say fifty millions dollars is earned in profit from that one album then why is it being sold for so freaking much? They could still make tons and be rich on a ten dollar album.
On the other hand, there are thousands and thousands of workers in this country that do a service for this country and the people that live in it and pull in thirty thousand dollars for back breaking manual labor. How about people with technical skills. I am a computer tech and make no where that much, but myself and six other techs keep my school district running. Everything here is done on computers. State testing, attendance, student records, everything. If one of our 40+ servers stopped running for more than 10 minutes, every admin will be having a hissy fit. The fact remains that this country has its values mixed up when a dumb ass rapper who can barely put two words together can make millions and an actual productive citizen gets the shaft. And don't get me started on athletes.
For people like Weird Al, it probably does suck. But you get some wanna be Gansta Rapper to can make a cheesy @$$ album and sell a million copies because one song is good on it and make millions. Do these people really deserve that money? Hell no. They go blow it on Hummers and Mansions. They can eat me. Radio is still free and the only way to listen to music without giving money to many many many of those no talent artists (and I use that word lightly).
So this coming from a man who is the head of an organization that has practically changed everything Christ taught to fit their needs, though directly in violation to God's word, expects people to listen to him? Give me a break. Someone gives a speech about their theory of how the universe started he stands up and says God created it and you shouldn't speak about it. What a hippocrit. The catholic corporation is such a joke. Everything they practice is in violation of the Bible. Just having a pope is in violation so anything he says is pretty much garbage.
And yes, I do believe that God created everything. But how everything was created and works is interesting.

I am personally running Office 2007 Beta and its quite nice. A few hiccups here and there, but nothing that stops the functionality of Office.

I agree. I would have tried to get it replaced. With the reliability of my setup, I always recommend water cooling to friends.
