Steve balmer if you RTFA says highspeed internet is a good thing, he says that the future of computing is online. And he says 21mbps wireless is fucking awesome. All of these things/. agrees with. Try not to trash the guy when he's not throwing chairs thats just flaming.
Winamp? Ironically I am using the main skin atm but I often rotate colour themes to keep m computer feeling fresh. Make a nice blue/green theme then change everything to a red/black theme after a few weeks and so on. That aside winamp does have useable skins that are efficient w/e at least a dozen:P
Solution? Argue that the feature obviously wasn't needed in the first place. "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black". Why want things when you can be told what you want?
It works fine in other countries. Hookers in the NA get involved in crime, drugs have violent pimps get diseases like aids die young. They give up all protection the law normally provides them since well they are hookers. Now if prostitution is allowed through brothels ALL of that changes. Extreme exploitation is gone since their boss is just their boss, s/he wont go to her house and beat her to death for quitting. There wont be cocaine at work to tie the hooker to the business. Tests for stds will be regular and on site free and manditory so they wont get aids and resign themselves to that lifestyle. It will be run like any other business it'd be much like working at a casino sure it might be shady but not remotely comparable to being a hooker. 'bad clients' for hookers now beat the fuck out of the girl with no repercussion since well shes a hooker she cant really report him and its not like they keep files. In a brothel a 'bad client' could be subdued and cops would take him away plus hed be banned from brothels. Much safer in every aspect, and the girls would be free to quit.
To be fair we can using genetics/biology, a vast array of history, logic and obviously quantum physics to prove with a high degree of accuracy that women do in fact exist. And rest easy, no theoretical math was used at all (that stuff keeps me up at night... i shouldnt be on at 4am but i had a nightmare about number theory).
agreed! buuuut i format my computer like once a year and dont give a shit about other people. When i format i download all new drivers (i like them fresh) new programs new everything, i like trying out stuff, helps me from falling hopelessly behind.
I believe the devil secretly killed god and took over the holy land (unholy land). And now he tortures all the catholics that pass away. Of course allowing all the atheists to go free. I call it the fuck you pascal wager. In my philosophy class i was the only one to notice the horrible fault in logic, it was depressing (only 1 person in the class was even religious anyways). Also this was touched on in the southpark movie: .
Hell Director: Hello, newcomers and welcome. Can everybody hear me? Hello?
[taps microphone]
Hell Director: Can everybody... ok. Um, I am the Hell Director. Uh, it looks like we have 8,615 of you newbies today. And for those of you who were little confused: uh, you are dead; and this is Hell. So abbandon all hope and yadda-yadda-yadda. Uh, we are now going to start the orientation PROcess which will last about...
Protestant: Hey, wait a minute. I shouldn't be here, I was a totally strick and devout Protestant. I thought we went to heaven.
Hell Director: Yes, well, I'm afraid you are wrong.
Soldier: I was a practicing Jehovah's Witness.
Hell Director: Uh, you picked the wrong religion as well.
Man from Crowd: Well who was right? Who gets in to Heaven?
Hell Director: I'm afraid it was the Mormons. Yes, the Mormons were the correct answer.
lol when i format a computer and start installing shit i put on all the drivers and all the aps finish all the setup THEN let windows reboot otherwise it takes like 60 goes.
China is first a capitalist country, they'd export cheaper if they could sell things at 1/5th the price. I believe they would multibox at least 4per computer and run shifts, get used and scrap computers it shouldn't be too tough. Fine my definition of wealth was a bit narrow minded it certainly seems that way in american culture which has spread through a lot of the world. And agreed.
OT: After all the political and religious arguments I've had the last few months its nice having a disagreement that actually gets resolved rather than turning into a pissing competition. Thank you people of/.
WTF kind of honeypot is that?? Lets strain foreign relations needlessly so that maybe they'll bomb the shit out of us. Then we can be like HAHA! gotcha.
Thats BS. If things were controlled like that I could have a guy in china buy me a tv and ship it to me. Oh and its 145$ a month not a week as you said. Anyways the article sounded to me like 'those damn Chinese are making a killing playing video games, lucky sobs' when they are living at what north americans would consider the poverty line.
You being a part of your species.... i fail to see your point. That aside i think alot of vegetarians still wouldn't eat meat out of habit/stubbornesss and they generally aren't too fond of the taste after a few years anyways.
Gold farmers earn 145$ a month... you'd need a whole village of farmers in your company to go above the limit. You'd need 145 of them though you still wont earn that much ~_~
I can't believe i'm going to say this but... poor china is going to outsource to africa. Africa doesn't have the tax and people will work for EVEN LESS. Prices wont change.
The article linked to says they make 145$ a month. How in the hell misleading is that. Profitable would be at least nearing minimum wage... Obviously we are talking about poor parts of china but its still misleading.

Even so that IS the government so .gov is right.
"my friends" ... "I voted for him"
You SURE you aren't a mccain supporter?
The only things i skin are winamp and windows so i know what you mean... firefox occasionally.

A guy i used to work with changed the compile button to 'please god' :D

Spoken like a true mac-user!
-Mac user not given useful widely used feature.
Solution? Argue that the feature obviously wasn't needed in the first place. "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black". Why want things when you can be told what you want?
I get that its a joke but french sex comedy is hilarious. I was watching some the other day from quebec I think... maybe that doesn't count.

Why are you on /. honestly? Blind faith is the antithesis of being a nerd. Aside from trolling is there any purpose at all for you to be here?
The summary did that more than MS did for the most part so ya know.

prolly will end up using satellite links the same as mainland china does now.

the article made it sound like these guys were making a killing. I don't think anyone will be buying a new car and a bigscreen tv on 145$ a month.
Bush 6.5??? He had to have been an early alpha or there are some serious flaws in the system genera... oh nvm
