i did not educate my dad properly about the various versions of rips that are floating around trackers. he ended up downloading a really bad print. And then I had to find a better print.. That shud count towards more traffic.
Sometimes, my DVD writer doesn't write files well. I end up downloading them again.
Sometimes, my friends nick my DVDs and I have to download all the movies again.
All counting to more traffic
I agree completely. I'm a big Futurama fan, and I've watched every episode, and I thought the movie Bender's Big Score sucked bender's shiny metal ass. They must have changed their writing staff or rushed production, because the humor was just lame. The next one had better not be this bad, or I'll have to write Futurama off as a total loss.
Not wild speculation at all.. My friend at Microsoft, who does the same work as I do, gets a 2 GB RAM Vista and Office 2007 while I, working for a small company, get 512MB RAM Win XP and Office 2003.
He has been working on Vista from before the official launch. i.e. Soon after beta.
Citing this, if Al-qaeda is attacking the internet in the middle-east then that would mean, they are conducting their cyberspace operations from non-middle-east countries. US/Europe maybe?
If India or China want to dominate the World after US decline, It is together and not through competition. Given the fact that India has the service industry and China has the manufacturing capabilities. They can feed off each other.. and become strong.
It is the basic difference between humans and animals that we protect the week in our society. Survival of the fittest does apply to humans but in practice it is the animals that observe it by instinct.
There a lot of underprivileged humans who can be stupid. stupidity doesn't mean that person should seize to exist. Rather it is the responsibility of the people of strength to protect these stupid people.
Of course they shouldn't. If someone is so brain damaged that they can't figure out that a SAW can hurt them, why shouldn't they suffer the consequences?
Just a scenario, A saw makes a lot of noise (very don't-mess-with-me-or-I-will-hurt-you kind of noise). What if a deaf guy approaches the Saw while it is running and doesn't find labels warning him of approaching a dangerous object?? Is he stupid? Brain damaged? or Underprivileged?
It is not only in Phillipines, I bet it is everywhere. Even in my country, India, most basic users, new to Technology don't know or ask how the Operating System got on their PCs in the first place.
Most system assemblers just load the PC with a pirated version of WinXP. It would be a much different scenario if these assemblers could take that effort and just load the system with some Linux flavor, atleast for the "ignorant" users.
I've been trying my hand at some linux flavors after the problems Vista has run into, but am unable to convince my dad to adopt Linux as he confesses "it is difficult to change at my age"
Also there are far less applications in Linux that suit his needs as well as the needs of people on the other side. Yahoo Messenger with voice, Google Talk, Skype etc.
if I get a computer, I should be able to run whatever program I want on it, change the OS, overclock it ETC
If you overclocked a computer you will render useless the available faster computer. If you change the OS, you are switching the loyalties established by the computer company and the OS company.
That is the reason why most warranties go void when you do any of the above.
All things done in the name of protecting markets.
One of my friends got such an email. He also acted innocent and started building a relationship with the scammers. Then one day when they asked him to send in some "important" document they required, he sent them the "document" (a Hard Drive killer virus or something). He never heard from them again!!
I think it lost its Maneuverability.
Have they figured out when they will be able to tell the location it might crash? I have to get my digital camera ready to take some pictures, if it is going to land near here somewhere.

Thankfully yourcompany.com is still under domain parking. :D
Maybe gates is no longer the richest man in the world... but he remains the richest "guy" in the world.. also acts the coolest
maybe kan0r posted to slashdot hoping for the site to get slashdotted. He is one of THEM!!!
The guy who was testing SP1 on this particular system, could not send in the report as his computer wudn't start up!!
You better wash it off before it does some kinda damage.

Anything to do with this???
Israel's Preparation
India and China are both working towards Peace, apart from Business ties.

a recent visit by the Indian prime minister is only a follow-up of visits by various ministers to China.
Hu Jintao wants better ties with India. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/China/Hu_Jintao_for_closer_India-China_ties/articleshow/2703269.cms
I think India is trying to be the neutral country it has always tried to be. Recently, India launched an Israeli satellite into orbit. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7199736.stm

GooHooSoft sounds so much more better
Move over San Fransisco...Here comes Boston XKCD already has recreated this for Boston
What ever this guy is getting at?
:P
:)
Why does he have to blow up the figure to downloading 2560 mp3s?
Rather he should get it to sending a 160 Character message via all the services he has mentioned.
That will in fact give a better rating of what is happening
Although it is a good piece of calculations, it shows he has way too much time on his hands.
I even suggest he does this reverse calculation
BTW, it costs me 0.0025402$ to send a text message here in India and None to receive.
It is so sweet a thing to have such cheap facilities.

There is Irony in labeling some un-signed-in Slashdotters as Anonyous cowards.
They tend to be the most courageous posters with a great idea, but no time to sign in. [:)]
Will Trolltech lose them brilliant colors on their website or will they be safe from being branded "NOKIA!!"?
I like those colors.
