In a lot of states, someone unlawfully entering your home can be shot on sight. I know if I saw some goon wearing a RIAA raid jacket in my house, the 12 gauge would be barking in response.
That said, I have no problem with REAL cops busting morons SELLING pirated cd's.
I've mirrored the video, anyone is welcome to grab it and mirror it as they please. Hopefully a lot of our euro friends will mirror it and give the fuckers in NJ the finger.
Most of the motherboard oem's use IIS for their web sites. They tend to be incredibly slow, go down all the time, and often render poorly (or not at all) on anything other then IE.
Almost everything HP puts out anymore is garbage. Its no surprise they are losing sales and killing off cutesy crap like this. The last few new HP notebooks I've had to deal with at work were awful from a hardware point of view.
you forget one thing. PCI is a shared bus. So you end up having usb 2, ethernet, etc, all fighting for that same bandwidth. Also, the 133MB/s is peak bandwidth. In reality, the sustained bandwidth is quite a bit less, depending on how well the southbridge chipset is designed (early VIA chipsets often had problems here).
Pci-e gives each slot dedicated bandwidth, which is the biggest advantage of the technology.
its a good thing. By getting the standard approved way before its needed, it gives everyone (hardware oem's, os developers, etc) plenty of time to integrate support for it. Rushing critical standards like this leads to nasty problems (think VLB) or outright non adoption.
When the ATA standards 33, 66, 100, etc, were adopted, everyone was saying the same thing - why in the hell is it needed. But by getting it adopted and published before it was needed, it gave all the chipset and motherboard vendors time to build it in their products. Result - in the past 10 years hard drives have NOT been bottlenecked transferring data between the drive and motherboard. You can get a screaming fast hard drive, stick it in an older motherboard (say with in 2-3 years of the hard drive's date), and it almost always works without issues.
Pci-e 1.0 took too long to come out. The Pci bus has been overwhelmed by modern video cards (which led to the AGP hack, which fortunately worked fairly well), scsi and raid controllers, ethernet cards (pci cant even give a single gig nic enough bandwidth), usb 2.0, firewire 400 and 800, etc etc etc. Pci-X was complex, expensive, and not widely available. It also ate up too much of the motherboard real estate.
By getting on the ball with Pci-e 2.0, we won't see the same problem again for a while. Now only if firewire 800 and e-sata could be more common........
I wanted to mod you flamebait, but figured a response would be better.
Game hunting is about putting food on the table. When I took my hunter's ed a few months ago, the instructor was explicit about not taking (shooting) an animal if you would not be able to harvest it. In fact some states make it a crime to shoot a game animal (aka Deer, Elk, etc) and then not use the meat.
On the other hand, varmint hunting (aka prairie dogs, rock chucks, coons, etc) is more "recreational", though it does serve a purpose in removing animals that are damaging to property and crops. And before you whine about them suffering, EVERY hunter's goal (be it game hunting or varmint hunting) is to make a humane shot (aka a shot that kills the animal with little or no pain involved).
Kids ruin most relationships IMHO

IT and Divorce?

The amount of time, effort, and money to properly raise a child in the US in this time and age is astronomical. Face it, most couples do NOT have enough of the above to do it, which leads to strained relationships and eventually divorce. Most of the happy couples I know have avoided kids, and they have far more time and money for themselves, which results in a much happier relationship.
and expect others to treat it like a sewer. Chinese (and other apnic networks) isps just dont give a damn how much abuse their users heap on the rest of the net. Between the spam, worms, and other crap they spew, they've gotten a hard earned spot in my firewall. Granted i am not a huge business or isp, but at the rate they're going, it wont be long before big isps and businesses DO firewall all of apnic as a pre-emptive measure.
it may be bigger in some networks, and not so big in others. I think it just depends how militant your organization is on pushing patches out. We're very militant in that aspect, and it seems that policy has saved our asses from zotob. Some of the writeups on zoton indicates that if your running win xp sp2, your pretty much immune already. I'd say about 95% of our boxes here are XP sp2, 4% win 2k, and 1% the odd random professor with an unpatched xp sp1 notebook (that eventually i'll have to hunt down and update).
we run a mixed environment of unix and windows because our clients use unix and windows. Yes windows sucks because you have to reboot it for every damn patch. Thats why you run MULTIPLE domain controllers. Patch one, reboot it, test and verify it works fine, then patch and reboot the others. Its not so damn hard if you take windows's weak points into consideration. And while your busy slamming a university network as non critical, the engineering dept i directly support recieves over 50 million dollars a year in NSF grants for scientific research, so dont tell me its not important the network works properly.
Major media corp IT depts badly behind in patching their systems, news at 11!
Honestly Zotob is a joke. I work IT for a major university thats 95% win 2k and xp, and so far we've had 0 zotob infections. I wouldnt be surprised if we eventually got 1 or 2 here and there with old boxes that arent tied into the domain, but the vast majority of the workstations auto update themselves and hence this is a non issue for any properly run network.

he made her install Vista. Shame to build such a nice box, and put the worst possible OS on it.

just don't bother hosting a mail server on XO, they are one of the biggest spammers in the US and heavily blacklisted.

Apparently your not the only one struggling with the ads. I got this when clicking on the link.
"The server at www.hexus.net is taking too long to respond."
"The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments."
Issue hunting permits for the spammers themselves. Whoever wastes the most spammers, wins.
Evidence of wasted spammers can be in the form of complete heads, or ears.

All signs of poor admins.

no 16bit support still exists. you can run dos on a current cpu.
