By "turn off" I assume you mean "don't turn on", because if you don't set up a mail account, enable Unite, or download a torrent with the built in client, these features will use the same amount of memory as they would disabled.

"professional staffing agencies (not "temp agencies")..."

A company that is truly a "professional staffing agency" is not a temp agency. Just as you say. So I wasn't referring to you.

There are "staffing agencies", and there are temp agencies. You know who you are. If you are not one, then I wasn't talking about you, was I?

I do agree about establishing a relationship with firms, and that is a motivation. But not all agencies -- and not all employers for that matter -- are looking for "permanent" solutions.

Exactly. While OpenGL is compatible with 99% of the PC gaming market, it is compatible with 0% of the console market. D3D is compatible with 99% of the PC gaming market, and 30% (very rough estimate) of the console market. Linux and Mac aren't even a blip on the gaming market radar, so why would anybody bother with OpenGL in a marketing sense?

The few that do bother to do it in OpenGL get burned when they want to port it to the console, because instead of a simple re-package job, they have to do 10 times as much work to move to a console. It may not be a massive amount of work, no, but it is more work than necessary. That cuts into your profits. Besides, there will always be less to screw up going D3D to D3D.

I've personally felt like the whole thing was a scam from the beginning. But I tend to be skeptical of government in general. I just feel like it's easier to run a smear campaign on Toyota than to fix the reputations of General Motors and Ford. But it seems like if the Toyotas have as many problems as the media makes it seem, we would actually see Toyotas having problems. Also, it didn't seem to affect sales. It seems like the only people who don't trust Toyota anymore are people who drive non-Toyota vehicles. It reminds me of the Linux users who say Windows crashes all the time. Also, I noticed recently millions of General Motors vehicles were recalled due to power steering problems. They didn't get nearly as much publicity as Toyota.

this is not evidence.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know I was in court. You are wrong. I am right. And you have no evidence otherwise. That you demand evidence from me and refuse to give any shows your level of hypocrisy.

Nobody is forcing you to upgrade to Windows 7, Opera runs mighty fine not only on Win2k but on win9x versions too without a huge memory leak...

You should consider using that instead of some crappy 8 years old browser that doesn't support something essential as PNG transparency.

Why don't you just simply use Grooveshark?

It's really simple, available for every country and most importantly *free for all*

Oh, and.. don't tell the RIAA about the site, okay? :)

You're not alone my son.

You're not alone...

Mod parent up! That picture is awesome!
