    I just LOVE vladinator's site! Especially the "fash" section, where I learned to cut the bottom off of an old shirt to use as a hair enhancement! Oh, and the "dance party" photos!

    Of course, don't forget to read vladinator's emails! Here you will discover how truly difficult it is to decide what to do on the weekends... have a pizza party? A fash party? Go to the mall with all of your friends? Have a sleepover and call boys on the phone?

    In short, if you haven't checked out vladinator's site, you don't know what you're missing!

    You and I are no different in this respect - the machine I got for my wife for $650 would have cost me much more to build - it had quality components, the only thing I had to add was a DVD (it came with a burner) and the Sound Blaster 5.1 Platinum I had got her. The rest of it was all good components, like the Intel Management Pro/100 Adapter (eepro100) and a GeForce 256.

    How long has this been going on? It will go on alot longer. Microsoft has the money to delay any ruling or judgment against them, at each step.

    once again to retire the MS topic. Apple too, probably. It starts off with childish, unwarranted editorilalizing with the original post, and follows with more of the same. Pontifications from OSS zealots, Conspiracy theories more outlandish than even the X files would touch, the typical "they don't innovate" and "they crash all the time" FUD, doom and gloom, theories that everyone who uses MS products was somehow tricked or forced into doing so....

    Since the Slashdot effect took its toll on the AP site, I just thought I'd point you all to the Google cache.

    You can probably get the general drift of the story until the Slashdot effect lets up and you can read the actual article.

    wow. who didn't see this coming? if this shocks you, you need to get out more often.

    secondly, who cares? a lot of the damage has been done, I don't see the monopoly ruling being overturned, the only outcome would be regarding punishment, which will either be diddly squat or hardly noticeable.

    what we need is a good fascist president, a la Abe Lincoln, to completely ignore the courts, send in the troops and kick microsoft's sorry ass into submission. plus, that'd be damn funny.
