Do you belive you will sell more PDF:s by calling your potential customers criminals?

I sort of agree with drothgery, but not completely. There are always a few "golden chips" that overclock like crazy. For example, certein versions of Athlon64 3000+ overlock well over 50% with the standard air cooling. This if of course only good if you know what to buy, and buy a processor for...

I would like to add the following: The large companies don't care, at all, about copyright. They only care about themselves and their profits. I think this is disturbing. Companies like Disney and Sony don't "passionately belive in the niceness of the geneve convention etc etc", they see...

As always, everyone's focusing on the wrong question (the only thing people in these threads care about is that the pirated copy is free, they completely disregard the other aspects unfortunately). Where I live we had a book store. It has now gone out of business. The same with the record...

You say you want to work as a database administrator. Are you just interested in the title, the job and the cash, or are you genuinely interested in databases? There's a difference here. If you have a background in programming, a great (and fun in my opinion) way to learn about databases is to...

150 lbs and only 10 years old? Nature will punish him.

Most of you have probably seen the creepy guy in tight clothes who pretend he is Peter Pan. For extra creepiness, here is his new fashion page! Don't forget to wear your your goggles! http://www.pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html

If you encounter a noisy kid in a cafe, movie theatre or restaurant (or other partially public place without a "manager") the trick to make the screaming stop is _not_ to directly tell the parent or kid to be quite, but to adress the whole area/room to show what everyone's thinking. For...

16/20 It'd be interesting to know the result of someone with aspergers.

You have the solution right there in your post, search with Google! :) Google site:enworld.org keyword It's not complete but might work.

Not only is what you are doing and suggesting illegal, it is also very unethical to bring down material you don't agree with by force. This is no different than giving people guns so they can run around and shoot criminals. If you think you've stumbled upon a phising site, report it to the...

Edit: The above method is smarter. :) http://www.jakeludington.com/ask_jake/20050216_export_dvd_audio_to_cd.html Original post if anyones interested: It's possible but can be tricky because there are several ways music can be stored on a DVD, not just one as with CD:s, so there are many ways...

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20051109-5542.html Sony said: “Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it,” he asked? “The software is designed to protect our CDs from unauthorized copying, ripping.” Is it just me, or is this something...

There are many threads where members can write about themselves. This is one of them, with a twist. Your job is to describe yourself in as few words as possible. Your job is also to sound as pathetic, boring and uninteresting as you possible can, without lying. Think about is as the worst...

For starters, add DiskCheckup to your arsenal of maintenance applications: http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm DiskCheckup is a very small program that will check the health of the hard drive when you run it. It takes less than a second to run the program and it's mostly correct (a...

It appears the program actually _is_ a spyware. http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/ The program not only silently installs itself, it also silently monitor what you do with the CD and sends the information to Sony. The Sony executives where then lying when they claimed this was not the case...

I think it's psychology. 1) Many people belive math is a difficult subject. Simply because many belive math is a difficult subject. It's much harder to learn something you belive is hard. 2) Many belive math is a nerdy subject for whatever reason. It's less likely you want to learn a nerdy...

I don't think so. Big companies like patents. Many many years ago there were no patents whatsoever about computer software. Then someone, somewhere, decided to start patenting. And now there are tens of thousands of software patents. Look at how protective the movie industry is about their...

Try to disable automatic DST correction. DST is, unfortunately, a complete mess to code so I'm not surprised people have this problem. The forum software have to know when (if) the server itself corrected for summer time, then look up various locations in a 500 kB database with timezones, then...
