How far away are we from this. I can't wait, but I would probably chop my own arm off anyway.
Remember playing with flash lights over the camp fire? You are guaranteed you to win every time.
A group chooses it's best and brightest to lead. What does that say for the rest of us.
What would my right to vote would cost?
The fire of revolution. The death of myself and loved ones. The loss of the pursuit of happiness, and liberty for all. That was the original price to have a society that can vote.
In the end that is what my vote would cost.
If everyone, lost, sold the right vote what is the price of admission to the new well................. overlords?
I stated this before, but I am part of the group. The switch to Linux was hard at first, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
F*@k Microsoft. I label them in the same class as Wal-mart, and I vote with my wallet.
I hate to say it, but I fell into the Vista trap. I was having some issues with XP and thought it would be a great time to upgrade. I have been a loyal MS customer since I switched from from an old Tandy box to Win 3.1, big jump. I use my machine as a recording studio, and anything that made it more 'mac' like is bound to be better.
That said I went to a large retailer and bought Vista. The first thing I noticed was it wouldn't take my product key. That's fine I thought and finished the install.
The second thing I noticed is that it is freaking huge. That in turn made a decent running box pretty slow.
Third aggravating point was that it treated me like an idiot. I am no programmer by any means, but I cut my teeth on the first CoCo computers from Tandy in the 80's. I understand a little more than Vista was giving me credit for.
Long story short, I never could get the store bought product key to work. MS stated that the copy I bought was for upgrade purposes only, and must be a pirated copy. They stated that I could not do a clean boot with the software I purchased and I owed them another $150. This really vexed me.
I am now a happy Linux user. After trying a few OS is settled on Unbuntu. I love it. I have also converted two colleges with my live CD. I keep a spare in my car just for such occasion.
FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
