    Torrents POINT to a hoster, Road signs point to a place (which could have illegal activity in it). So are road signs illegal also?

    Thats why I once brought a complete 100 toolkit (including verious sharp and blunt instruments) on a flight from the UK to Sweden 7 years ago. They even opened it and saw in plain sight the knives and wrenches! Security is half arsed even today. They make you UNDRESS by removing your BELT to get past the security! LOL Its laughable especially when Im carrying a laptop, battery (which can be turned into an explosive very easily Lithium is rather volitile when mishandled or not made inhert - and that gets past the chemical tests and xrays), I can even carry various every day items that can be turned into offensive weapons.

    Its only for the rich, like most technology that Bill Gates always spounts hot air about technology revolutionising people's lives like them. No, its for the rich mostly. They even have to share mobile phones between communities in some areas, granted its at least better than nothing but its not enough.

  6. Simpler? No, how about more real world Functional? on Consumers Look For More Utilitarian Cellphones · · Score: 1

    I just bought a Mio A701 for the killer REAL WORLD functionality of GPS location services. I travel and its a life saver to be able to find my way about or even get close to a specific area. I can even send them my location with an SMS from it! Simpler phone? No thanks, a more USEFUL device I want. I dont want to wear a bat utility belt for media player, mobile phone AND gps. Why not change the form factor to be wrist mounted or something.

  7. Re:Hey look, a gun nut. on A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers? · · Score: 1

    They have wanted a "withdrawl" for YEARS so they choriograph the "peace process". All of it RIGGED. They have to do it without losing face. Its pretty 50 50 about a united Ireland. Gerry Adams has NOTHING to gain from a UNITED IRELAND. He even admitted that himself. He is a show person. What he does, he does it for the crowd. He has more to gain from dragging the current situation out. Do not belive his goa is to take that away from himself. That is udder loonacy.

    The UK gov did dirty tricks to block alot of votes, I was prevented from voting, they claimed a techniclality. WRONG, I called the local politicians and they said they had received alot of votes from the "Protestant community" side that voted ANTI agreement on good friday. They knew it would have been voted AGAINST. The good friday agreement was set up. They skewed the results by dirty tricks in various communities. The only way the UK gov and the AGING PIRA got to where it is now in the "process" with an "ammical withdrawal" is to play DIRTY.

    Stupid Yank. That is obvioulsy why the IRA owned South Armagh and even the police had to be flown in and could not use the roads for safety, even garbage had to be flown out by helicopter from the bases (until the SAS came in and played them at their own game with their underhanded tactics). Get your facts right. Terrorists did a HUGE amount of damage to the UK government and over a LONG period of time. The UK Government had no chance against the populance that dispised them so much.

    Microsoft == Office Space. The only way you know you are doing a good job is by 10 middle managers being "visible" by sending out emails replying to each other saying "Yeah you rock, this is a great milestone achievement for this business unit! You rock! Go Girls!". Makes microsofties feel satisfied along with their 50 awards each performance review year worth 22 bucks each. VERY REWARDING! Microsoft is a GREAT PLACE TO WORK! THE WORLDS BEST COMPANY! Just ask Lisa Brummel, go girl! Oh, lets not forget management in the new reorg and redesign to make sure they get VISIBILITY AND REWARDS!

    You mean like the Intarweb is International? (claimed ownership and regulated - IANA - by the US) Like space is International? (militarised by the US). Like the polar regions is "international"?

  21. Re:every situation? on Core Duo Reaches the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Thats why Intel Meroms (Core 2 Duo's) are owning AMD Turion X2's in the mobile market. AMD power saving is by powering DOWN what is not used. Intel now only powers UP what is NEEDED. Huge gains in power savings. Do you ever wonder why Apple laptops are QUIET. Hint: They dont use AMD. AMD owns the racks, Intel is owning the mobile market. The competition is not about raw speed its about scaling out and lowering power / heat. That is the new performance rating. Merom is 64bit, Merom has better power usage. Efficiency is the name of the game. More and more AMD's are in the shelf BIG BOX market. Big ATX boxes are so 90s.

  22. Re:every situation? on Core Duo Reaches the Desktop · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Since most MP3's are downloaded, this is not an issue :) AMD lost the consumer (ie., non geek brand fanbois) market to Intel. I always used AMD now after my AMD laptop is a hairdryer , opening a browser turns the AMD fan on non stop. They are a joke in the power consumption efficiency market. Merom beats AMD into a pulp. Im going Core 2 Duo on my laptops in the near future, not AMD.

    Working at Microsoft is like the movie Office Space. The only incentive you get that you (or to be more exact, your Business Unit) is doing a good job is spam mails with "yeah what he said, its a great win! You rock!" emails from middle managers being "Visible".
