First...how in the hell do you 'pirate' something that is free? Second...if it's in chinese, it's pretty well useless for 99.9% of us, isn't it? So, who cares! My only experience to date with chinese software was NT chinese edition and I'm not in any hurry to repeat that experience. The reds can keep their mods with my blessings, I have no use for them.
Kodak is trying to transform itself from a fading business icon into a nimble technology company. It is the leading seller of traditional film, which generates the vast majority of its profits. But with the growth of filmless digital cameras, that franchise promises to shrink and might someday even disappear...
Indeed, Kodak dominates photographic film in the U.S. and has been accused of being a monopolist itself. It faced private antitrust suits in the 1970s and 1980s, which were cited in last week's appellate-court ruling in the Microsoft case. It was Microsoft's chief trial counsel, John Warden, who back in 1979 rescued Kodak from an $87 million judgment, after a rival argued that Kodak had broken antitrust law by making Instamatics that didn't take standard film.
They can afford antitrust lawyers because they can't afford not to have them and right now they are running scared because digital cameras are slowly but surely moving film companies into the "buggy whip" category.
The gorilla may be tangling with the tiger, but the Tiger is old, toothless, and chained up.
Microsoft continued to send out versions of Windows XP. Three weeks ago, Kodak got the latest, numbered "build 2481." Kodak engineers say this version has a new, simpler way to launch photo software after a camera is plugged in. Instead of a nine-click process of setting non-Microsoft photo software as the default, it lists competitors' programs alphabetically in a pop-up box, along with Microsoft's.
Whats wrong with that? Methinks this article submission is just another pathetic excuse to trot out the "Billy-as-Borg" logo...
Sure they are. They just need a license clause with their studio film: By using this film you agree not to reproduce it using any product created by Microsoft. Most motion pictures use kodak film in their camaras, and MS wan't a piece of Holywood.
Wrong! If I don't want to use MS' software, I'll turn it off. It's not that hard really. But I'll be dammed if I'm going to have a camera company (or MS for that matter) dictate to me what software I use to edit MY IMAGES!

Actually no, the insurance company re-builds the dealership and the manufacturer sends another shipment of SUV's and those people who were going to buy one will still do so...
BTW I drive a big car mainly out of self-preservation. I don't like the way most of my fellow citizens drive...with callous disregard for the life of those who are sharing the road with them. When one of those impatient "me-firsters" slams into my car, I'm DAMN WELL going to make sure that I will be able to get out and walk away from the wreck! What are the chances of your doing that if you're accordioned in a Neon or a Sprint, I ask you?
You forgot "All your Base..." and it's now anoying variations: All your Megahertz? All your transistors? All your framerates? Pre-bitchslaps to them as well.
Right now I assign them a negative value. Here's why: Basically what they do is cloud the issue when it comes to negotiating fair compensation. Now on top of trying to get fair value for your services, you have to deal with some sleazoid I.R. scumbag trying to get you to take bad paper instead of legal tender (isn't that akin to fraud?) for your services. No thank you. I'll accept stock when it's tradingAND when there are no restrictions on my selling it! Otherwise, give me cash and if I decide I want a stock, I'll buy it.

Red Green likes building stuff out of duct tape. This is right up his alley.
Problems with the Canadarm? Just send up Uncle Red with a couple of rolls of duct tape and he'll have it better than new in no time. Hell, they probably coulda built the entire ISS from the junkheap behind Possum Lodge...

Here, I'll save you 20 bucks...no need to go out and buy a book explaining the DMCA. It's like this: Go to your bank, take out all your money, send it to the RIAA. Everytime you think of a song or hum or whistle, send 5 bucks to the RIAA, after engaging in an hour of self-flagellation...
Whaddaya mean??? This is standard operating procedure for many an ailing tech company! Fire the techs and keep the usless marketing drones and stock promoters!
How? Simple. By starting his own "religion". One whose basic premise is to expose Scientology for what it is. That way when the Scientologists march him into court claiming religious bigotry, he can make the same claim! Then the two "bigots" will simply cancel each other out, and we will be left with what this really is...utter stupidity not worth wasting the court's time
That's almost as good as Al Bundy's religion of "No Ma'am!" That is until that bitch Marcy took him down by showing his followers pictures of him being nice to his wife!
If he comes to BC he'll likely run afoul of the Human Rights Commission (more accurately known as the Human Wrongs Commission). It's run by a motorcycle-riding chinese lesbian...nuff said.
Something similar was tried before with WebTV...where is it now, I ask you? The fact that such a system would use AOL to connect will only add to it's lameness. Ever try to do something routine like send an e-mail attachment to an AOL user? AOL with all it's hype is still just a glorified purveyor of "shiny coasters". At least with a PC/M$/(noAOL), you have functionality and if you don't like M$ you can always try that penguin thingy...
