    I think that is a distinction without a difference. The end result being the same. He's consistent though. And as Emerson said, "A foolish consistency is the hobgloblin of little minds."

    Ron Paul is against Net Neutrality.

    Not surprising since the royal family are believers in this nonsense.

    "Contested modern usage" means just what it says. It is not considered correct grammar. If you going to be critical, get good at it.

    And you'd most likely be wrong. And that wasn't out of context at all. Who designed the designer?

    Yes, at least tag this slownewsday.

  11. Re:prompt? on Warning On Office 2007 "Try-Before-You-Buy" · · Score: 1

    It didn't do it for me. Under exactly the same circumstance. I tried the trial version and went back to 2000 with no issues. My .pst file was not converted. No documents were converted either. So I guess I'm just special and lucky. That makes me feel great. A nice way to start the day.

    Well, that's contrary to MY experience. Make of that what you will.

    The only thing wrong with the summary is all of it. The trial version does NOT do that.

    TFA article says that VLC works fine.

  23. Re:I think you answered your question already. on QuickTime .MOV + Toshiba + Vista = BSOD · · Score: 5, Informative

    TFA concludes by blaming it on Apple. I'm no Apple fanboy, but I don't see that at all. Unless I am misreading TFA, everything worked fine until the patches and updates were installed. I would suggest those are the problem. If they were Tablet updates, that's where the blame lies. If they were Vista updates, then the problem is there. And i agree, this is a support call, not news on /.

  24. Re:too simple on Dell To Linux Users — Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    Well, my position is that the behavior you describe is prohibited by the Final Judgement in 2002. I realize that you probably don't think they are living up to that, and you're entitled to your opinion. We'll just have to agree to disagree, because i am not comfortable being in a position where it could look to someone that i am defending M$. That's the last thing i want to do.

    I never said they didn't do it in the past. If they can't sell other operating systems now, then how are they selling systems with Red Hat installed?
