    CHEAP, FREE EMAIL ACCOUNT?

    David: That would be fun :mrgrn: It's a public school, and the principal demands a bunch of stuff that is way beyond the original contract. It's sort of like working with the Japanese. You sign a contract, for specific terms, and think you have a firm deal. They think the signing of the...

    Why Windows Causes Stupidity

    This entire argument is moot. No matter what brilliant conclusion we come to, Bill Gates isn't listening. To put it simply, the MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF A COMPUTER IS TO ALLOW THE USER TO DO A TASK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, WITH THE LEAST NUMBER OF STEPS, AND AS DIRECTLY AS POSSIBLE. Now, we...

    Why Windows Causes Stupidity

    The concepts the guy is trying to rail against are the same concept as limiting driver comptency. MSFT is trying to make computers accessible for everyone, and, in a sense, that gives chances to everyone to develop in computer ability. If a 2 year old can move a mouse, learn to click, and use...

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    Yes, that's Dianee. By the way, Stephen Whayada was really not the guy for her to marry. I did talk to her awhile back, and the divorce really tore her up. Diane came back from a photoshoot in the Carriabean to find all her stuff gone, the locks on the house changed, and, most of the money...

    It's so nice when a plan comes together...

    First time I played it loud, with an epic style DVD, my girlfriend was amazed, yelling it sounds better then the movie theatre. Of course, Klipsch ARE the movie speakers in most movie houses. If I ever have a really nice house, I'd like a set of Klipsch corner horns, maybe 4 in each room...

    Interesting CPU Test

    Really :?: I have a dual Xeon 2.8 in the other room, and, with scsi in both, admittedly a dual cheetah raid zero on the Supermicro/xeon rig, there isn't any comparision between the two, speedwise. The Athlon 3000+ does shine at games, which might be what these guys are mainly intrested in...
