Rightly said. I really like the first rendition of Dune, although it did leave a good amount out from the books, but the movie would have had to be 6 hours long to capture all of that. They could have gone with a three movie series or something but this is all hindsight. The new one will be so full of CG it will look ridiculous. I'm still a fan of using something physical over CG, both can look fake in their own rights, but the original did a decent job of portraying everything. Someone else already mentioned this but the Toto soundtrack was awesome, so we'll see what crappy music the new one will be set to. "My name is a killing word" - by Kanye West, remixed by Paris Hilton. If David Lynch does a good job of it, I'll gladly eat my words, but IMO the odds are against it.
He said: "Our position is very clear. We are the conduit that gives users access to the internet. We do not control the internet, nor do we control what our users do on the internet.
Maybe you should ask the band whose entire discography I just bought after I downloaded one of their albums. I liked them so much I decided to support them. And guess what, I don't have dial up. You fail.
I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills. I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
No, that is an ISP tax. That is different because people who don't even utilize it will have to shell out for it, which is like forcing everyone to pay for car insurance regardless of whether or not you own a car (man these car analogies just keep flowing). There should be an online service, like allofmp3.com used to be but with all of the aforementioned stipulations, and maybe more that customers would want.
Ah, but you forget about the quotas that most police stations have for their beat cops. These cops will be as sneaky as possible just to collect their minimum quota for the month, even if it means setting up shop right where speed limits change or at the bottom of a hill. I like to use gravity and momentum to actually help use less gas when going down and back up a hill (with no traffic around of course), but those sneaky little bastards who just want to get that quota may not see my rationale. What's the harm as long as I'm conscious about how fast I'm going and what's around me?
To discourage pranksters and law-enforcement officials from flooding the system with bogus locations, users can rate others on the accuracy of their contributions, and those getting better ratings will carry more weight.
TFA mentioned this method of weeding out the fake ones, plus I think it said speed traps are unlisted after 1 hour so they don't alert you if the cop has picked up and moved someplace else. As an aside, when I submitted this the trapster website was pretty slow, and I'm pretty surprised it's holding up so far. Way to go.
It would be nice if the connection in my area were as good as yours is. I use usenet and will most often get speeds close to 5Mbit/s but for anything else it is a miracle if it is near 1-2Mbit/s. B/w my roommate and me we use our connection pretty heavily with usenet since it seems like that is the only reliable method. I used to have Cox and never had a problem with speeds, but that was in southeast virginia, so it may just be locational too.
I'm no astronomer or physicist but I think they are trying to say that intermediate mass black holes like this one can become supermassive black holes once the cluster of stars surrounding them die or contribute to it.
Comcast says customers on their 6Mbps tier will see upstream speed bumps to 1Mbps at no cost, while 8Mbps downstream customers will see their upstream speeds bumped to 2Mbps. That may actually be the more exciting news for customers eager for more upstream bandwidth.
That is meaningless since no one ever gets anywhere near the supposed bandwidth, but hey maybe you'll be able to get close to that previous allotment.
There are lots of ways the constitution doesnt apply to the military.
But that happens because soldiers willingly sign their rights away. They lose rights is the key here. They don't magically gain the ability to be unaccountable to law. If that were really the case the military could come ransack your house for food and sleep there without your consent since the 3rd amendment is no longer applicable. The government shouldn't be able to pick and choose which laws it finds agreeable to its vendetta. They can trample the constitution when they tear it from my cold dead hands.

IANAL so don't mind me if I'm incorrect here, but in that case the ruling magistrate judge suggested Rule 11 sanctions. Stating In my view, the Court would be well within its power to direct the Plaintiffs to show cause why they have not violated Rule 11(b) with their allegations respecting joinder. This judge's complaint is the last point of the motion that the legal aid is filing, but if even the judge has problems with what the MAFIAA is doing here I see the defendants winning most, if not all of the points of this motion.
I work for companies that are dependent on advertising to make revenue. I'd prefer to keep those websites free, and advertising is the best way to do this.
Since you appear to be in marketing, I'm surprised you aren't aware of the concept that people who do block ads aren't going to follow them anyway. Advertisers won't waste money advertising in places where people aren't interested in their service to begin with, which in my opinion helps them to not waste money. I will occasionally click on a random ad simply to help a website I frequent, but hate ridiculously obtrusive ads, and those are the ones which get blocked in a heartbeat. If I ever do click on an ad it is one that I find relevant and don't block to begin with. The worst dynamic ads used to be the ebay ones on google that would insert whatever query you had.

I wasn't actually trying to be accurate, but wanted just to get a point across that the service you pay for isn't what you get, and encourage some discussion on the topic since the ISPs here are doing a little cavorting of their own. You can't tell me that you use your connection 24 hours a day, and if you do that is why you have a business connection, which expects more usage. I use the hell out of mine at times, but there may be down times when I use absolutely nothing (to my knowledge) from my connection for hours at a time, and can include times when I am out of town. I can honestly say that between my roommates and me, Comcast is on the losing end of the deal with what we bleed from them, but it goes both ways with times of no available connection, slow connection, and poor service. I know, caveat emptor, but what about caveat venditor? If the vendors keep telling their customers that they will provide them with a service and don't completely follow through with their end of the deal, they should be the ones who have something to lose, not us the consumers. I personally would like to see an unlimited service that provided good bandwidth, reasonable at peak hours, for a reasonable price without a contract, and no port blocking or targeted throttling of protocols. Is that so much to ask for?
It all breaks down to who is the caregiver in reproduction, whether or not that may happen. When females are the caregivers, they are the ones who get to choose. When it's the other way around, as in seahorses, the females fight over the males. It's pretty standard across the board, from a biological standpoint.
Back when I was in high school my friend did the old screenshot as desktop to our us history teacher and put a foam mouse in place of the real one. She eventually did figure out that the mouse wasn't real, but got so frustrated that one of us "broke her computer" that she called down the vice principal to lecture us. No matter how long that guy lectured it was still hilarious and I remember it 6 years later. I may just have to try that reversing the fridge handle thing in my office and see what happens.
It also obviates the need for the GPU which has stolen much of the limelight in recent years.
So that $250 EVGA 8800GTS I just bought soon will be used for a doorstop? I haven't even checked out the DX10 with it, I'm still kicking DX9. I may test out the vista x64 ultimate and see how crysis runs there as opposed to xp, which I doubt will be that dramatic. I somehow don't see gpus disappearing when dx11 premieres since not many people will actually have 8 or 16 core cpus.
As DirectX 11 is a work in progress, Microsoft does not have an exact timeline. But the source claims that DirectX 11 could be part of Windows Vista by late 2008.
Whew, that makes me feel much better. In lamens terms, that means 2011, give or take 5 years (give).

That's why I always check to see if I'm buying from someone affiliated with the MAFIAA first. I won't be padding their litigious pockets.

Sorry had to throw that last one in there.As a side note I don't think my ordered list worked. Bug?

Is this kind of the same as when they used Jeff Gannon or was he just lucky?
What test would that be? If they can load text and jpegs progressively in less than 4 minutes?
As submitter I will take full responsibility for the mista...haha just kidding. I'm just the middle man, so suck on those peanuts.
