Okay, doesn't that sound just a tad-bit illegal to anyone? Microsoft using their huge market share in the desktop market to squash their competitors. Just confirming from the "man" himself their illegal practices.
Being in high school, I can tell you that DARE had no lasting impact on anyone at my school. You walk off campus at lunch, instantly 1/2 the kids pull out cigarettes (note: 49% of teenagers in the US smoke is the last study I heard).
I remember in 5th grade having a police officer come in and teach us about drugs and their effects. He failed to get through to us, but rather he tough us more about HOW to use the damned stuff than how bad it was. He would just start talking about some drug, how people sniffed it or injected it, blah blah blah, and then throw out some random name of someone who died from using it. But he was talking to 5th graders, he didn't get through to anyone.
In high school, anti-drug programs are just a joke. Kids see other kids smoking all the time, and there is always that peer pressure for you to start smoking.
I heard that 19/20 kids try smoking at least once before they are 18. How can 95% of kids try smoking if these programs have gotten through to them? Obviously it's a failure, and the program needs to be revamped to have a lasting effect on the youth of this country.
FYI, I'm part of the 1/20 who never smoked. Why get hooked on something that costs money and kills you?

SPAM, is mainly directed to Amazingly Overly Lame (A.O.L.) people and may be sent in either text format or in HTML format.
What really needs to be done is have a thorough review of the current patent system and have it reworked based on the new technologies that are entering our lives on a daily basis. And then someone has to act upon the results of this review.
There has to be something we/.ers can do to try to influence a review of the patent system. Why not write your Senator or the President on this issue? Or maybe write to the man who may be our next president (the one who invented the Internet), as well as George W. Bush.
I wonder if it would work?

People will see that it is completely unreasonable to buy a machine with the Windows operating system, and thus will look for other, less expensive options.
Did they have a warrant to take the computer? Or did he just forfeit it to them? I would think that since it is his personal property they can't just up and take it. If they did, when did college supervisors become higher than the law? --

First off, you get accurate results -- which is awesome.
Secondly, who wants to see an ad for viagra when you can see an ad for (Gateway | Dell | etc) which you might actually be interested in? It's like watching commercials on TV. Do you guys really want to see tampax commercials, or do you pay more attention to things like Frys/Comp USA/Best Buy/Computer stuff?
I personally would prefer to see ads tailored more to my interests than to.. say, something a pregnant women could use --
I'm wearing the "got DeCSS?" shirt in question right now as I write this, FYI.
I can't believe that these idiots would go as far as to go after Copyleft for have css_tables.c on the shirt. What ever happened to the First Amendment, our freedom of speech? Those bastards have gone far enough.
What's next, going to sue the people who WEAR the shirts?! "They're distributing it, look, people are looking at the source code in public!" Oh God, please say it ain't so. For those of you who haven't, make sure you get your anti-MPAA stickers (available at ThinkGeek).

Do a search on Napster for "The Word Fuck" and listen to the MP3. You will find it hillarious.
I think its a quote from the "It's All About The Pentiums" song from Weird Al. Watch the video here.
It will be a scary day when we learn how to transplant brains between bodies.
It gives me the willies, almost the same feeling I get when people tell me they use Windoze.
I heard a while back about an asteroid that would pass by very close earth around 2012 or so? Anyone have any info on this or related links?
So, in other words, you can't beat CmdrTaco's 0.24 time.

That's almost as bad as killing Kenny! YOU BASTARDS!
What about the plants that these animals ate? What if the reason they are extinct is that their food source went away -- what are we going to do then?
Or are you just happy to see me?
Frag without lag, hell yes.

Are Palm Pilots capable of using GPS? If not, will they be in the future?
Any info is appreciated.
