This is my stance on it, and has been. I've heard the argument that paying allows them to show less commercials, but I don't buy it. I'm certain they make a profit before ad partnerships.
How about we impeach brain dead idiots like yourself? I'm not a fan of Obama at this point, but this isn't all on him. Your boyscout Bush, and both major political parties have deep rooted ties to all of this shit.
Used to be I could highlight text, right click, and search with google. That's been replaced with Ask. I wasn't asked if I wanted this. It's not obvious how to fix it. No, fuck you user, you'll start using Ask.com now. What the fuck guys...
Ohhhh, so Faux News tells the truth, everyone else is lying all the time, right?
Sorry bucko, you're as guilty of being a tard as those you accuse. Take your own advice before coming in here and trying to sound all smart and educated and talk down to everyone else.
Ah yes, IIRC Genica is the parent company, and you could buy keyboards and mice and such under that brand. Computer Geeks was the retail arm and Evertek was the wholesale/business arm. They must have expanded at some point if they have a warehouse in Temecula, when I worked there the O'side location was the main and only one.
...is that it all comes from one warehouse location there in Oceanside. I worked for them for a short time as a temp. It was a less than fond experience, but that's beside the point. All merchandise for the 3 arms of the company come from the same stock. I forget what the 3rd company name they sold under was, but the items you bought under geeks.com was the same stuff you bought "wholesale" under evertek.com. I can only guess at why they feel the need to end the online arm of geeks.com if the store part will remain open, and the other arms (if the third still operates) use the same pool of stock. I will say this, they sold a lot of things that I wouldn't bother going to Newegg for because it would cost more.
Why was this modded down? It's perfectly relevant and truthful. The writers of the article need to have words with the Alamo Drafthouse because they have such a hard-line ruling against said annoyances, and it works great. the only time said annoyances are a non-issue is during the types of events the above poster mentions.
Back when I was using CRTs I had to have 80Hz minimum, and 85Hz was the point at which my eyes no longer felt "weird" for lack of a better word. I currently have a Dell S2230MX for my main screen and it's LED backlit and I have no issues at all. For what it's worth, unrectified LED Christmas light strings drive me bonkers with their strobing, so not really sure what to say on this one.
...back in the early 00's. We had the RCA wall, the MSN kiosk, specific space for Verizon, Sprint, and Tracfone... Very little of the store was left for what made Radio Shack Radio Shack. Since then they've taken some of the shelf and floor space back, but very little is Radio Shack's own shit, and it doesn't matter anyways because they don't hire anyone who has a fuckin' clue anyhow.
I guess thinking about it, Best Buy is already most of the way there, so fuck it, why not further marginalize themselves by giving someone else space in their shop.
All kidding aside, he's pretty aged, I can't really see him faithfully doing the Terminator as he was back in the 80's and 90's. I mean yeah, make-up and CG and all, but even then.
what about your own responsibilities to serve the people and follow the law? You're all a bunch of fucking hypocrites and if you had any ethics you'd be ashamed of yourselves. But no, instead you'll do what you can to make this man out to be the evil while ignoring your own complicity in eroding what the United States was founded on.
Do the people who took the time to play through the game carefully and precisely to create such videos for people to learn from not deserve a bit of compensation for that time? You got your cut when the game was sold. Stop sniveling about the ads, it's the only means the people making these vids have of getting compensation for their time and effort. It's not the end of the world.
I think you misread the intent of OPs comment. Maybe I'm being naive/altruistic, but I took it as a sincere "good luck" because as even us Americans know, "'Murica! Fuck yeah!" Corporate interests will lobby hard to fight NZ doing this. I think it's great, and I hope it paves the way for other places to admit the ridiculousness of it and strike it down as well.
...because of Adobe's clout and other companies reliance on the product. But it's a shitty idea. While it may lower the cost of the software somewhat (or may not) it further removes ownership of said software from you, which is exactly what hey want. It's also exactly what I (and many others I suspect) do not want. I want to pay for software exactly once. I want to then be able to install it on any god damn computer I want, so long as it (the computer) is owned by me or an immediate family member. I don't want it attached to some security scheme that requires an Internet connection, causing it to eventually fail unless the company patches it or release a non-leashed version. Lastly, I want to be able to sell it to someone else when I move on, and have them be able to use it without issue, because not everyone is rich and able to afford the latest version, let alone at all sometimes. Frankly I don't think I am asking too much.
Why was this comment modded to -1? It's true. The company hires a competent designer to make shit using web standards, and the company passes the cost on to the customer, just like they do with anything else.
Christ, this place can be just like Reddit. "I don't like what you said so fuck you!" *downvote* *downvote* *downvote*:rolleyes:
...we even still have this problem. Seriously, stop being short sighted fuckwits. Stop using vendor specific code. Start using shit that passes the W3C validator. Problem fucking solved. Imagine that! There is absolutely no excuse for any webpage out there to require a specific browser or browser version, short of being able to meet current web standards.
Why does this even need a warning? If you're too stupid not to understand to either A) not ingest these, or B) not give them to someone not old enough to know better, then by all means, swallow them all, then go get an MRI.

...he's throwing the masses another bone to help get their poor stressed minds off of the burdensome issue of the NSA, the 2nd amendment, and Syria.
Did the little astroturfer forget to log into his other account to agree with himself? Laughable at best.
...and he needs to counter sue, because they're idiots. End of story.

Wow. That's a whole lot of stupid you've got there. Does that hurt at all?

What a waste.
Right. Follow up an anti-racist statement with a prejudiced one. Beautiful.
