It is not bullshit if you don't log DHCP assignments. Why would you? None of my DHCP servers log. Either something has an active lease, or if it does not, I don't care about it!
That was part of my point, thank you. For those that don't understand, freedom in terms of government has always meant "free speech" not "free beer". There is no promise of $$free$$ government, just "freedom". However, that "freedom" doesn't come unless you have money.
What if father really does know better? Honestly, I'd take a benevolent dictatorship over a "free" government. Look at the USA free government. Do you really feel that the citizen's best interests are being taken care of? Is that the reason those laws are made?
Most people care less about an abstract like "freedom" than they do quality of life. Look how many people in Iraq still wish Saddam was in power! It wasn't like he was even a good dictator, but there were many things that ran better and their own quality of life was better. I'm someone who is glad Saddam is gone, but there is an example of how many people just want a good life, not freedom.
And you have 3 video cards and 2 processors, but no power supply, case, RAM, hard drive, monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS, DVD drive...got to have the initial investment. Are you still using the same amount of RAM and hard drive space as 12 years ago? Didn't think so.
Good for you and your real band. Do you also have a real army with real M16's, or do you play other games like Call of Duty and Counter Strike? You know, pointing a REAL rifle and moving a mouse are not the same thing...
get a decent gaming PC and upgrade your video card every 3-4 years and your processor every 5-7
Let's do that math here. I assume "decent" means around a $2k system. Ok. You said vid card every 3-4. That's usually around $200. Processor every 5-7, another $200. Don't forget ram! We'll leave that out for now.
Now, I've built and played on PCs for years. However, I got an Xbox 360 last time rather than upgrade my computer. It was going to cost around $700 to upgrade my PC to play CoD4 well, but I got a 360 loaded for $450. Let's assume I buy a new one for $450 every 3-5 years (call it 4). In 12 years, I've spent $1250. You've spent over $3000.
Plus, I can play my console games with real people in my own home without another system. Its called split screen (or Rock Band) and you think PCs would learn how to do that at some point.
My appologies, I had seen the full quote used many times in relation to stories about how fearful people are now vs then, and made a logic fart in your case.
I'm sick of the "fear itself" line being used as an example of how the USA was less fearful in past years.
Here is an example of how fearless we were. This one was approved by the same administration that said we have nothing to fear...
I dig the fangs and the blood-drenched knife. Where are my posters of Muslims with blood-drenched swords to keep me awake at night??
I know this is an international forum, so I hope you're NOT from the USA when I explain that 1600 Pen Ave is the address of the White House in Washington, DC. I doubt that Bush has had the latex glove treatment on the OP's account...
I really WANTED Vista to work. Bought it pre-loaded on a Dell D830. Many things I liked, but it just didn't "snap" like XP. I thought SP1 would fix it. Two weeks after SP1 was loaded, I "upgraded" to XP. I still miss some of the features in Vista, but this is much faster.
One of the other reasons why they tout them as fixing heat issues is the lack of cables. You only need two power, two network, and a KVM cable instead of 28 power, 28 network and 14 KVM cables
Yes, I know cables do not cause heat, but they do block the hot air from escaping. (hint: never use rack "arms")
However, this is a "hot spot" issue, causing higher server temps. You're still sucking the same power, or close.
Too many cyclists think "Share the road" means "Let me use the road and wait until I'm done."
That is exactly what it means. The car behind you is letting you use the road and waiting until you're done. He isn't passing you dangerously and making sure you feel the draft of his mirrors. Or, if he is, he's a dick. If the cars behind you are letting you use the road and waiting until you're done, you should give the same repect to the cyclist in front of you, UNLESS he is going below a posted, required speed.
Maybe. It isn't open source, so the world may never know. I can think of some ways that they could design it so that couldn't happen, but who knows if they did.
I have used digital surveillance cameras at two jobs now. Both systems I used had a hidden watermark embedded into the files.
If you exported a.jpeg, you would break the evidence chain since it didn't have the software to validate it. It is fine for giving to the newspapers to try to catch the bad guy, but when it comes to putting them in court, you would always need to export the video wrapped in a.exe that included the player. Then the software company could prove that the video was unaltered from the time it was taken.
We have a Democratic majority in the US Congress. This isn't an issue I've heard on the news from our majority leaders saying "Bush will VETO if we don't pass X law for Y company".
It takes a LOT of corrupt people to sell us to the corporations, not just one dumbass from Texas.
It is unlimited. Even if they had a 20 GB cap, it is still unlimited.
The reason they say "unlmited" is because when DSL and cable first came out, many dial-up ISP's limited you by HOURS ONLINE. One of the selling points of broadband was "unlimited" access, allowing you to be connected to the Internet 24/7 without being charged for hours of overuse. At the time, dial-up ports were the limiting factor, not bandwidth.
I dare you to show me one ad for "unlimited GB of download ability". I see plently that say "unlimited Internet ACCESS", and that is what you get. No limit on how much your IP address can exist on the Internet. No one ever promised you how much you could download with that IP, and almost all have said from the beginning that you can't abuse it by downloading too much. They do deserve blame for not defining overuse, but not for misusing the word "unlimited".
Then tell me this isn't about pushing religion down our throats even more.
Yeah, I hate it when I have to spend $10 to pay for a ticket so I can get religion "pushed" down my throat.
Don't want to listen to it? Don't buy the ticket. Don't want to watch "Passion of the Christ"? Don't buy the DVD. Don't want to watch "Edward Penishands"? Get out of the back room of the video store.
The "change the channel" arguement works for violence, porn, AND religious shows. Let people choose to watch what they want.
"Enterprise IT" policies are almost always to make IT's life easier at the expense of the end user. Now who was supposed to be supporting whom?
Actually, both are to be supporting the company. IT does not answer to the end user, they answer to the shareholders, the CEO, board, and the regulators. Supporting the end users only applies if it will support the company to do so.
BTW, if end users can be trusted with admin rights, then why do botnets mainly exist on home user's computers? Those same home users will allow their work computer to be infected if mean old IT would let them.
I have seen many online and offline players throw a mouse, controller, or keyboard. I've also see people get into fights over a card game. FPS, MMOG, RTS, or Euchre can been seen as a game to relax or as competition that causes stress.
The term "Web 2.0" adds useless noise to developers that work with html, xml, java, and other technologies. I must have missed Web 1.5, Web 1.99a, and Web 2.0 (beta).

Dell. I charge out my network support time at $150/hr. I don't have time to build PCs at home anymore, and I make more money buying one pre-made.

No, but I trust a Slashdot user over a bunch of tech-dead lawyers any day. Just because they don't understand how PGP works doesn't mean it is broken.
