While this is innovative and obviously a good thing, what about the fact that you are holding one the most flamable liquids known, 1 inch from your brain. I want to know that the cell holding this fuel isn't going to freakishly spring a leak right when I'm lighting my cigarette. Oh, and what if Timothy McVeigh puts in an order for 10 of these things and reaks havoc on the nearest Radio Shack?
i just want to know how long it took him to come up with all this bs, correction, 'politcal/contradictory/i'm a rich little five-year old who knows nothing' bs. examples...
"let me say that I didn't shut down PacketStorm, and neither did Harvard. Ken Williams is the sole person responsible for that site being shut down" "I sent a simple one page e-mail to the provost's office asking them to review the contents of the site -- the university reviewed it, and chose to shut it down"
uh...choose one. and the next one highly ammuses me.
"Ken sold [the site] for a reported $125,000 to Kroll."
first off, the only 'type' of site i see being sold for 'a reported' $125,000 is one that is grossing in excess of that amount. anyone think that Ken's site fits this description? i didn't think so. also, i don't see anyone by the name of Kroll to be able, and utterly stupid enough, to buy a slew of html code for $125,000. maybe thats just me.
all in all, i found this interview rather disappointing. mostly on JP's part, but not excluding one or two of the questions Rob & co. chose to use.
Then you're an idiot, because it's extra baggage for a machine that doesn't need IE installed -- say, a machine that's not going to be connected to the Internet. (Those do exist, you know; I have six of them.)
one question, is it so hard to uninstall IE after installing/running windows? i admit it might be a little harder for a newbie to do this, but thats what its all about, learning. when you first started using linux, or whatever os you use, did you automatically know how to do everything? i highly doubt it. i think that if people are going to bitch about it, and won't take the time to learn how to do it for themselves, then they have no right to bitch and don't deserve special attention. i seem to recall a wonderfull phrase that coinsides with this.
"you can't help those, who can't help themselves."
now, i do feel that ms has played somewhat dirty within the industry, that is a fact that cannot be denied. but i cannot agree with some of this bitching that is useless, and will ultimately drain more of my tax dollars to make these sorry people happy. i am also all for DomitianX's idea of developing an os that can rival windows in stability/usefullness/ease of use, or even making linux a bit more 'computer illiterate user-friendly'. till that happens, i guess all those newbies out there are stuck with windows and IE.
---i am one for compromise. run two comps, one with windoze, the other with linux.
i could be wrong on this, but isn't Packard Bell owned by Tandy. i seem to remember this after having my old pb sent off to get fixed a number of times (before i had the knowledge to do it myself), and it having to be sent to tandy...like i said, i could be wrong.
ponder this. why is it that all of these people screaming "forget about them, wait till..", are the first to jump up and say something on the topic? and seeing this, does it not show that they are 'thinking' about these women more than others? hey, i said it was jacked-up.

one question, you think we pay their bills?
i figure their bills get paid by classified funding. isn't microsoft on trial right now (and trying to get out of it)?
