It sounds fishy.. Sounds like they have some sort of spyware in the new version that is going to check everyone's computer that enters and see if they have a valid copy of Winblows. Anyone find out anything about the new EULA for this version of MSN? Hell, if you want to enter the contest, I am sure you have to give your REAL idnet so if you win they can pay you. I think that anyone that enters this thing should make sure that they don't have a pirated copy of ANYTHING on there box. Too risky.. Personaly, I know people with pirated stuff on their box that is worth more than the prize money...
I worked for a small ISP a few years ago and the same thing happend. They made everyone start working overtime and then sprang it on thurday (day before payday) that they were not going to be able to make payroll and that everyone would have to take a pay cut. Everyone went to lunch and stayed at the local coffee house for three hours at which point everyone was called and paged to let everyone know that they had "found the money to make payroll".
ok, in my hurry to post I forgot to mention that it is shipped with WINXP, but hey, its just like any other machine I have bought in the past.. Buy it with windows, whipe it and install linux...
Well, its not out now, but its definately worth waiting for... sometime in the second half of this year the OQO Corp (www.oqo.com)will be releasing their first product. It is basically a full PC the size of an average PDA. I been fighting with myself not to buy others that are on the market since I found out about these... Check em out. They start at less than $1,000 for the base model which will have a 10 GB HD, 256 megs DDR DRAM, 802.11b AND Bluetooth to name just a bit...
I agree. Full spectrum plant lights. That's what I have in mine. I use full spectrum florsecent plant lights you can buy at walmat. They have them in just about all sizes and you can use them in just about any florscent fixture. I also have a window, but since I live in northern Germany, we don't get much light here in the winter.
I am an American and I have been living in northern Germany (Hamburg area) for just over a year now. I pay 29 Euro a month for unlimited dsl. It's pretty reliable. Just make sure you speak fluient German if you want to call tech support they only have a few English speaking people. I haven't been able to get connected to it without using their GERMAN ONLY software package except by using a funky little router (netpassage 15-b). They us their own protocal as far as I can tell and this is the only router I have found that will work with it.
If the company that you were doing the work for paid your predessor for his work then you have nothing to worry about. If in fact the company did not, then they should not bring a lawsuit against you, but the company they were contracted to(the company you did the work for).
I remember the days when everyone was looking down on my and my friends in high school case we gamed all the time. Now it seems that D&D isnt the only game/tv show that is satanic, Aparently there are people out there that belive Dragon Ball Z, Ferbie, and Teletubbies are satanic.. well, they say that the purple teletubbie is gay which in the mind of the local bible thumpers here in the south is just as bad.
Man, If this had been around when I was in high school, I would be locked up! It sounds like if you arent popular you are going to get 'turned in'. Am I the only one that is seeing the Salem witch trials??

Hmm.. anyone ever use the menu.. "edit-select all- copy" not difficult....
Look at a map. Tarifa is the southern tip of Spain, NOT Gibraltar.
Sorry but, Tarrifa, Spain is the southern tip of Europe. Gibraltar isn't the tip of anything except maybe the Bizzar at Deva from the Myth novels...
Am I the only one that thinks the camera man should be fired? Sortof like revisiting the Blair Witch Project.

I think its just an appeal to the masses or morons that think the latest windows has to be the best OS out there.
