I consdired IE 3.02 and subsequent to be superior to Netscape.
I'm one of those people that browses by opening everything up in its own window. My problem with Netscape was that if it had to do a DNS lookup in one window then all the windows would freeze and I wouldn't even be able to scroll in another window. IE didn't do this and I've been able to read in peace when dealing with a website that wants to take its time being found.
Why do people always qualify their statements with IANAL (I am not a lawyer). Even if a lawyer is on the boards, they'll qualify their statements with "this is not legal advice". And even if you hire a lawyer, you'd be hard pressed to get a guarantee from them that anything that say is in fact true.
I read about a sting operation to catch people soliciting prostitutes. The unusual thing about this one was that the cop dressed like a prostitute was wearing a ball cap with the word "POLICE" in 4 inch high letters on it. When the johns asked if she was a cop she replied, "yea right, I'm a cop."
And also gets you 60,000 customer service calls because sound isn't working correctly by all the people that don't have their cd player hooked to their sound card.
I agree completely. Part of the reason I'd like a GUI is because sometimes I'll go for months without having to change a thing in Apache, then I'll come back and have to remember some directive. After that I'll have to set some overrides so that this directive will actually do something. Every time I look it up in the documentation, the www.apache.org site has changed and I vow to actually save the documentation in a place I can remember next time.
Sure a text file is easier if you're using the stuff frequently and can remember the terms, but a GUI is nice to just pop in, twiddle one setting and pop out.
Yea, but do they have a slider that you can drag to the right to optimize the web servers performance?
Does IIS still have that? Surely that was a joke that got left in by accident or it was at least mislabelled since there was no reason to have the bar to the left.
The deal here isn't that the owners of the buildings aren't getting paid for advertising.
The issue is that their buildings are being used as the basis of some artwork and then being altered so they appear to be hawking something they don't normally advertise.
Its legal to take pictures of Michael Jordan as he walks down the street. Turn this into a movie and you're probably still ok because he's a public figure.
Taking pictures of Michael Jordan drinking a soda, then changing the brand from Coke to Pepsi because they pay you isn't going to fly too far.
If they wanted to have different ads in Times Square, then they could use those same computers to make new buildings. But they don't, they want to film those specific buildings and they want those buildings to say something different. Well, those buildings don't have different signs on them unless you pay to have the signs changed.
Leave the buildings out, or leave the signs the signs unchanged. At least that's how I see it. Its really not a matter of the buildings being filmed without permission.
Too many episodes of Trek end with some new scientific discovery. Sorry, but I can't sit in suspense just to have it explained to me near the end of the show how they've solved their problem by advancing from one made up technology to another.
There is little difference between "using the force" and implementing the wildest theoretical physics and guessing at a way to jump through space. Trek wraps it up in scientific terms while Wars doesn't worry about that and just makes some characters more powerful than others.
As for episode 1, it actually went against the grain of the previous ones. In all the previous episodes, Luke was a superhero. In episode one, nobody ever shot anything else on purpose. The space station was shot down on accident, Jarjar blew up something on accident, and Darth Maul didn't lose the light saber fight he just forgot he was fighting it (wtf?!)
Yea, Star Wars might not be real peaceful but I'll take Luke blowing up the bad guys over a few dorks in spandex trying to overload the circuits by humming Bolero into the microphone while the Borg listen.
I'd think the major reason Sony will deny it for privacy reasons is this:
1. Woman sues for info. 2. Log shows player1 called suicideboy a bad name 3. She then subpoenas for player1's name to sue him 4. Player1 sues Sony.
Now repeat steps 2-4 the 100's of times that every little bad thing ever happened to him in the game.
Hell, once you start releasing some peoples info then you have to release more to get hold of the witnesses. You can bet player1 would want then want to have access to all the logs and names of the people that witnessed that he behaved appropriately.

I think its just a matter of whiny customers using the law.
Microsoft gains a certain value when Windows is shipped on all computers. Because of this they are willing to sell it per computer for less than they would otherwise. These computer companies are not being "penalized" for not shipping it on every computer, they are paying more when they install different OS's piecemeal.
Its not racketeering because (even if they are guilty of something) its a monopoly using its monopoly power to extend the monopoly. Being a monopoly in the first place isn't a crime, so there is only one crime here.
I went to the car dealership the other day. All the tires were by the same manufacturer. This is not quite a good analogy because most car companies use more than one source of parts so that just this sort of things doesn't happen. Computer companies reaped the benefits of a homogenous operating system.
Maybe they should be let out of the contract and be allowed to pay full retail on every copy of windows. Hmm...they don't actually want that option do they?
I'm guessing that after 2 weeks he probably gained weight. Anytime you hit the body that hard in underused muscle areas, you'll put some muscle on faster than the fat comes off. But he'll probably enjoy a faster metabolism for the next couple weeks even with minimal exercise.
As for lifelong habits, he broke the one about not exercising and that's a good start.
Some might say reality is imposing itself on the minority group that hold these outlandish beliefs, and its just the majority group that is pointing it out.

I'm pretty sure the single license doesn't authorize them the audit.
You have to agree to some sort of site licensing before you authorize them to kick in your door.

Well then, how about one big ass laser that strikes the entire cd at once. Then we just need a serious computer to read in the results.

Of course, they hired her.

The Soviets supported Hitler's rise to power. But your right, its not proper to group the two together. The Nazi's may have had a cleaner record.

Heh, these "artists" are made by the record companies.
The question is when will the consumers wake up and find their own artists.
Halt!
Kommen Sie!
Ausweiss!
Ausweiss!
That's a different argument that was setttled 15 minutes after the first fakes when everyone agreed with the "who cares?" counterpoint.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad press.
At the end of the day the people that pay for stuff will only remeber that "Windows rules, Unix sucks".

Geeks write software for themselves and lawyers write laws for themselves.
That is, I agree with you.
I'd be willing to be most people never add a single piece of internal hardware to their computer. He's talking desktops, not workstations.
All a console really needs to add to satisfy most home users would be email, a real web browser and a word processor.
Personally I'd welcome the stability of a console in the computers of those people that call me with their computer problems.
Unless you're playing gameboy with your tongue I don't think its going to help you get laid.
