You know they won't, just like you know the school board's going to waste tons of taxpayer money defending against litigation, which they will ultimately lose.
If you're putting together a system anyway, you can use MS's OEM pricing, which is about half of the $200 parent quotes.
I can get it cheaper yet because the university I work for has a licensing agreement that, among other things, lets me download a copy of Win7 Pro for $66, or Ultimate for $90.
You'd have to get all of them at once for that tactic to work. Lots of lawyers in that family, which is doubtless related to their fundraising tactics.
Oh, for fuck's sake. It'd be trivial for Dell to include the old Human theme (buttons in the old place!) in with their build of Ubuntu and default to using that.
I dunno. It might not be a bad thing for foreign legal systems to start ignoring us when we want to punish their citizens for things they did while not on US soil.
Heh. I'm keeping some dirt on a person whom I know plans to run for national office some day, just in case this individual actually goes through with it.
One's extremist opinions, even uttered in one's relative youth, can come back and bite them in the ass.
Trouble is, if a board is full of nutty or hateful posts, the sane people are apt to just go on and not bother posting.
Check out the comments on Yahoo News sometime. I honestly don't know why they bothered bringing back the comments; I think they outdo even Youtube for stupidity.
However, they will print any sort of inane bullshit if they think it'll drive circulation. My local paper will always print the latest missive from our local uber-homophobic troll, for example, despite numerous calls to stop so as to raise the tone a bit.
The Crab's stuff is better than it used to be. Their NICs are pretty good quality; not quite up to Intel standard, but good for what you pay. Sound is merely OK quality, but reliable.
When the Republicans were in power they had every bit as much dissent and disagreement in their ranks as the Democrats.
Oh, that'd be why nearly everything the GOP/Bush wanted got rammed through on a party-line vote. Right.
The only reason they don't any longer is because most of the moderate GOP'ers got voted out of office. That's what tends to happen when a political party loses power -- the die-hard members of the party come from safe districts while the moderates come from districts that are closer to being evenly divided between the two extremes.
That'd be why the party has been going farther right since '94 (or, perhaps, since Saint Reagan courted the evangelicals in '80). Uh huh.
This November it's going to be the moderate Democrats that pay the price for the excesses of Nancy Pelosi and her ilk. She won't pay the price -- her district is completely safe. The moderates are the only ones that come from competitive districts and remain vulnerable to challengers. When the Democratic Party's elected office holders consist almost entirely of urban liberals will you make the same claim about them that you just made about Conservatives?
Oh, boo hoo, conservatives are so disadvantaged and discriminated against; you even see yourself as so downtrodden that you have to capital-C your "ethnic group". That's a cute touch.
That's a cultural thing about liberals: differing viewpoints are generally tolerated more than in conservative circles. You've got your nutters, sure, but they're less numerous and less powerful - largely, I think, because the current GOP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Low-Tax Jesus.
Of course it's less damaging because there are fewer unquestioning morons viewing & believing. As I mentioned to another poster, there's a cultural thing with conservatives that one must obey authority and toe the party line, and belong.
Not really. There seems to be a cultural thing with conservatives that one must toe the party line and obey authority, and never ever publicly disagree with the party leadership.
They'll pretend to have a big tent around election time when they need the swing voters to get in, but that changes a couple weeks after they take power.
It's because, I think, the nuttier ones make so much noise and get so much attention, and one doesn't see the (probably) majority non-nutty Christians taking the loud ones to task.
If sane Christians would start getting loud themselves, it'd help.

He might even bust a nut now and again.

I'm not paying the extra, so I really don't care.
It's Slashdot and he said something anti-Microsoft, of course.
Of course it still costs more than free, but it's not quite so bad as claimed.

You sound like a job-killing, america-hating liberal.
Sadly, there are a lot of mouth-breathers who think like that previous sentence.

That's true, but it's good to have tested drivers. Sometimes upgrades will have drivers that don't entirely work.
Oh, for fuck's sake. It'd be trivial for Dell to include the old Human theme (buttons in the old place!) in with their build of Ubuntu and default to using that.
Speak not of what you do not understand.
For now.
They don't offer any with 10.04, and two of the four models they offer still have 9.04. Doesn't seem like they're too keen on it.
I dunno. It might not be a bad thing for foreign legal systems to start ignoring us when we want to punish their citizens for things they did while not on US soil.
COULD YOU SPEAK UP? I can't hear you past the cocks in your mouth.
Heh. I'm keeping some dirt on a person whom I know plans to run for national office some day, just in case this individual actually goes through with it.

You're wrong, and ugly too.
Republicans also have a big tent.

Because you say so, is it? Wrong.
...in other words, conservatives view Fox because that station will tell them what they want to hear.
Gotcha.
"Industrial scale". MSNBC & Olbermann aren't industrial-scale because their viewership are so much smaller.
It's also fundamentally dishonest to compare those to Fox and minions, because Fox have no respect for the truth.
