Sure, being tied to the x86 architecture hurts, but it's nice to have a pretty base standard as far as architectures go and not have to learn different assembly languages, data flows, etc. for each new generation of computers.
Haha, yeah, imagine having to explain to the people that he's not just pointing a dish to the sky and that it HAS to be professionally installed for 49.99.
They don't like that.
As a former technical support representative of Dish Network, the dishes were very hard to align. Every time you moved you had to figure out the angle, elevation and skew and re-set it.
Apparently this will automagically cue into the nearest satellite.
I suggest you think about it yourself. Quit bitching about the situation, get off of your ass, and go do your work OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN FUCKING ROOM! How is that for a concept?
That's fine, except what about students that live off-campus?
I access the internet via my University w/ DSL, but I live 14 miles from campus.
I'm just thankful I chose technology rather than a medical profession. At least I don't get creep'd out when my neighbor says, "Hey, would you mind taking a look at this".
Yeah, you're thankful until that Swedish supermodel and her sisters move in next door.
With the advance of digital video being shown at movie theaters, does that mean that piracy of said movies will be better and more frequent?
That is... would the quality be raised, i.e. the actual movie being copied vs. someone recording the screen? It would be a lot easier to borrow one of the HDDs, copy it, and return it rather than coming in w/ a tripod to record it.
So sure dont ignore Hitler but dont elect him too but gosh you rednecks went ahead and elected him twice. Will you please go out into the woods and shoot yourself now or are you just as shameless as the Chritian right?
Last time I checked, Bush never won with 100% of the vote. It was more like 53%. Don't try to group Americans into a group that follows blindly behind our leader. He may be the President of the US, but that doesn't mean that I, or many others, agree with what he is doing. The recent eviction of the Republicans from Congress should have been a sign to the world that many people don't like where the US is heading, but foreign countries seem to have failed to recognize that.
By the way, we never elected him the first time. He lost the popular vote.
And in other news, the Canadian video game manufacturer Nintendeh just announced the release of the new system NESA (Nintendeh Entertainment System, Eh) and the sequel to the ever popular "Duck Poke" being "Goose Poke". Nintendeh's spokesperson said in response to the games rather violent nature "You're just poking foul for Christ's sake! In America, you SHOOT the damn ducks, not poke them!".
He was later booed off the stage and forced to wear a canadian bacon suit attached with maple syrup. Mounties were on hand to make sure the crowd did not get too rowdy, but the audience of 4 elderly men caused a ruckus.
This was later found out to have been caused by a rather large intake of prune suit that morning.
Today we have computers to do the math for us.
Oh, really? I am a student at Pitt (Computer Engineering) who studied Differential Equations. Last I checked no computer could calculate the general solution of a 2nd order ODE.
We have computers to do BASIC math for us, but upper level math still requires the computer on top of our shoulders.

...that means you got the apartment!
How, how, HOW(!?!?) is this related to my rights online?
Will owning this grill magically make my Firefox not fit in my internet tubes? It's from all the hamburgers isn't it?
Maaaaybe, it's for roasting my Thunderbird on a spit glazed in BBQ sauce. I guess that's somehow related.
Unfortunately, you'd have Joe Six Pack connecting every speaker that he could get his hands on to his car.

Your personal e-mail will get you a chair sent by UPS and thrown through your bay window.
And 30 voice mails asking for the 'developers, developers, developers'

Now what?
Oh, quit being so overly critical.

Well, clearly you're doing something wrong for your PC to not crash every week or so.
Or maybe the UN should write off the outstanding debts to the US because, gee, isn't that what we did in WWI and WWII?
I'm sure Google is working on that.
Actually, NASA is already tracking objects >3,300 feet in diameter, but this would be to track all objects capable of doing "massive damage" to Earth.
My question is - why is it the job of the US to protect the world?
Wouldn't this be a UN issue?
Sure, that's you, but could you imagine the space needed to do it for EVERY EMPLOYEE?

Something to think about...

And after all that, it wouldn't work. Oh, the irony.
Yeah, I meant juice.

Since Britney Spears is all the rage these days.
I meant her songs, not her skirt (or lack thereof).
And that was SARCASM!
Jeez.
So what's the difference between CS and CoE?

So was he swimming in a lake during a thunderstorm, or did it just appear, Pokemon-style?
