Got a 8800 Nvidia Vista game system and an old 7600 Nvidia Xp system. Tried games with and without DX10, let me tell you ain't nothing to be excited about that I saw. Maybe implementation of DX10 will get better but the ride ain't worth the price so far IMO.
Wonder how big a rock you would have to throw at the earth to get through the atmosphere and do some real damage? Wonder how many rocks the moon has to meet these requirements? How big a launch device would you really need to hit the earth accurately? Wonder how good the Chinese are at math?
Heck I bought LoTr a few months ago, got home and the cd was missing, returned it to WalMart and got a new one no problem. I never bitch about WalMart, it's always been more than fair about these sort of things. Do feel flames a coming?
Exact Opposite, my wife said she was sick of all the notifications she couldn't figure out every time she started XP, and truth be told most of them were windows LIVE update,scans or defender updates (I think) I installed Feisty and showed the wife the only notification she will get to update and the two buttons she had to push to keep everything updated. She pretty much figured out Open office by herself and she hasn't bothered me much since (over computers). I play all my video stuff in Ubuntu (Gutsy), never missed yet, but yeah it took a few minutes at Ubuntu forums to get it all set up, well worth my time.

Want piece in the bedroom? Pay attention to the wife and give her good service.
Yeah I used to say this, until I had to go to court over some serious money. I hired an ex pit bull and when the dust settled I sent her flowers and will never be able to thank her enough. Yeah the ones (lawyers) that go into government, seem to end up jerks IMO. When you just gotta have one though they are worth their weight in gold.
Woz is a nice guy, seen him in action. Unlike the current management of Apple, Woz does really care about people. The idea that Apple has changed since its conception seems pretty clear. In the old days working for Apple you could go in on your own time and build whichever Mac you wanted and take it home. Wonder if there is a program for free iPods or iPhones in place these days? LOL. I remember the company wide parties thrown when new products were released, boy those people knew how to throw a classy party. Wonder when the last time Apple stopped everything for the day and threw a party just to thank the employees? Miss the old days. But Woz, yeah he was cool, and some say he was the soul.
Of course they will. The moon is a military target just like it was in the '60's. Our military is busy spending it's money elseware. The moon and therefore mars are not a priorities in this country.
IANALT but if I were to traffic in stolen goods I would need to see the laptop turn on and function. Why would I give drugs or money for a doorstop? If someone brought my anything even in a sealed box I want to see it perform. Dealers houses are full of crap traded for drugs. So Mom and Dad if timmy comes home with a brand new iPhone........
In my experience no, no you don't. You don't even have to be charged for 24 hours. Oh and if you INSIST on knowing before you go you can be charged with interfering with an officer, resisting arrest, and what ever else they can make up on the way to the station. IANAL but that has been my experience.

Yup I had Charter and a 3meg line. When I started using their HDTV service my internet started shutting down at about midnight and the HD was just a series of pixels dancing across my screen. First I was told the area was oversold and they were installing a new line as we spoke. Tubes to small I guess. Well when my situation didn't change with the bigger tube the story changed to, the wiring was bad in my house. They installed it so I said fine fix it. Maybe next winter I was told as Charter had a policy of not going into attics around here in the heat of summer. Even if it was their install and I had a repair clause in my contract. Well I switched to Direct TV. Now using the same wiring I was shocked how much better all my TV's got. Spent the day yesterday watching Pain Jain in HD, today its football in HD all day, if I can stand it. MY living room is a gym and I force myself to workout as I watch. So sore today. Don't know how much football I'll get through. Life is good.

No, I have gout, Acupuncture worked for me. One of the problems with gout is you can't move. Sitting still is mandatory and reading a good book or anything distracting just doesn't work. I watched as my wife, a victim of failed back surgery, go from 2 fentynal patches a day to a couple of Norco with 2 visits a week at our acupuncturist. Sadly today she uses Avinza (timed release morphine) as our stupid idiot governor in Ca. OK'd visits to a chiropractor and not an acupuncturist. Stupid ass Arnold. Yeah anecdotal but so is life.
In a word, maybe. CNN had a wonderful show on called Reasonable Doubt. Reading the transcript is fascinating. It tells where dna is highly unreliable mainly due to human beings handling, testing, interpreting, actually it seems anywhere humans are involved, the system fails. In the show it talks of a Seattle man jailed for a terrorist bombing in Spain. The FBI had a 10 point match in fingerprints found in remains of the bomb. They still stand by this conviction according to the show. Problem was another man who had a 100% match from Algiers confessed to the crime. Anybody who watches CSI and believes their portrayal of DNA and evidence gathering should read this as I feel anybody on a jury should know this information. The system is improving but still has major problems. If on a jury I wouldn't accept fingerprint or DNA evidence. CNN sent me a transcript upon request, again the name of the show was "Reasonable Doubt"
Actually no, I don't agree that I would maintain the receipt, do you? A representative of the store asked me for the receipt, I feel I could argue in court if they lost the receipt How could I be held responsible after that? IANAL but they took the receipt, so wouldn't they have to prove I stole anything after that? BTW I could instantly access my checking account and prove a total sale price. I don't have to prove I didn't steal anything, they do, especially after they lost the evidence. My sister who is a judge in pots and pans says I'm crazy too but I would probably prevail.

BTW if warranties are involved or rebates I keep my receipts.
All I have ever done at Wal mart, Costco, Best buy or where ever is hand over my receipt and keep walking. I have never once had any problems other than a Costco employee chasing my down in the parking lot to return my receipt.
The vast majority of downloaders don't have the originals
Yup you are absolutely wrong, how many times do we pay for the same data? I had Electric Ladyland in a quad Record, a regular record, and a few tapes, and a couple of CD's. So can I now download the DATA I paid for numerous times before? I mean is it my fault the industry sold me copies on bad media that was designed to fail? I remember the original advertisements for CD's and how they would last forever. Well my forever isn't over yet so can I go to AllofMP3 and download my data? Can I copy a friends? Can I put this data on the media I prefer in codecs (Ogg, or flac) not offered commercially? Will Logic ever enter this debate? How's this, I don't own the music but I do own a copy of the data, for life. I can pass it on to my heirs, I can use this data in any form I choose. The only problem with this is how to record what I bought? Well IMO the people who are most interested in this should be responsible for maintaining the necessary record of purchase, you know the record companies. So if I get caught with a stolen song the burden off proof of the theft is on the record company and the fine should only be the price of the song, like a buck. Oh and my current data? lets try going with "innocent until proven guilty" Yeah I know proving a negative, but then I hate the record companies for giving us "stars" like Madonna, and Cher.
Latency? huh? well on my little 250 DSL line using feisty, all worked well and sounded fine, wasn't 7.1 but it was free. Please consider I never listened to Mom, Too many rock concerts and rounds fired, hearing is shot. Huh?
