"How do you officially think about sex?"

A patent for the sweat work Is A Good Thing(tm) but what Amazon is doing is pure control. Their partner in all of this is LinkShare. Say What? Has LinkShare sued Amazon? Power to the big market and squash everyone else. See: Slashdot post on LinkShare 12-99. -d
So fox is the victim? They got what they deserved by releasing trial-ballon beta software and letting the user debug their code. The last time I let the user debug a section of an user interface (process control system) I had to run and take the phone off the hook. Gee, so did they. Either the coder types don't care or they did not read the code. This stuff ain't compiler design, just put a pretty screen up.

Good but you have to admit sometimes there is a little lost in translating. I had a "humor break" when an AEG engineer (no names) would check my 'by the dictionary' translations of his program comments. Some where quite funny. We both had a good laugh. -d
Don't underestimate. I knew secretaries who almost quit a job because the *management* was going to take away their NBI wordprocessors and give them that "pc thing" with WordPerfect. Some things never change. I don't see a wordprocessor that requires.5 gig for a small document to get very far, even in these more gigs are better days. The win98 box on the lan will never die (see darwin). -d
Too late. My cat was testing Xfree86. When the mouse didn't get results he 'ctl-alt-backsp' ed the screen. The command line took more time to figure out. He cheated one day and just pressed reset. M$ would love him for shutdown testing.

1999 - live, CNBC (tv) is running stories about how secure the WTO meetings are. The cool people are dancing for the media and it looks so staged. The reporter spits out bytes on how the entire place is under control of the anti-terrorist cops and that trouble makers are being rounded up before they get too close. Sorry folks, the cops/fbi/other countries cops, are not going to put up with much trouble. Any protest marchers on TV will be staged for the media.

It is the standard, 'what's good for me is not for you - you unwashed masses'. Should have expected this a couple of years ago. As soon as anything slips out of control of the elitist (in their mind)they must design a new control method. Keeps the average person off balance. And an off balance person is too busy to notice the other, more dangerous, attacks on freedoms.

See it all the time. It is pretty good, however, the characters are motion capture actors. Record the credits, oh, I recorded them all to date.
