Bush is gone and they're repeating the mantra, "The terrorists are coming! The terrorists are coming! The terrorists are coming!"
Would someone please give that guy a Quaalude?
Thank you.
I disagree. He tried diplomacy and for the most part, that failed because, as far as I can tell, the conservatives are unwilling to participate for fear of his success. If BO's plan should succeed, the conservative Republicans are looking at another long bout of minority status. I'm thinking (hoping) this could last another 50 years or so.
Besides, for all their talk about being shut out of the process, I didn't see Bush extending a hand out to the Dems during his term. Bush was *very* heavy handed and unilateral while exercising power. Obama doesn't even come close to Bush in this regard, so far.
Don't forget how their sales managers would lie to customers about competing products. Their lawsuit history is rife with testimony concerning lies and deceit by MS against rivals and partners.
I agree that MS is still a problem. And I'm not sure they've given up the habitual slamming of competitors in front of customers, yet.
What exactly did they buy? Or more properly, what did they inherit? A middle class nearly snuffed out? A banking system that ran amok with irresponsible loans? Depleted 401k's and savings for millions of Americans?
If any party bought elections, it would be the Republicans in 2000 and 2004. For some reason, I can remember clearly, tens of thousands of people protesting GW Bush when he arrived. Could you really say that he *didn't* buy the election then?
...ahead of time. Besides, it's no secret that several copyright hawks have been appointed to the top positions in the Justice Department.
How this will play out, I don't know. I think it is interesting to see these appointments. Consider that these people will actually have to justify their positions if they really wanted to take action anyway.
I do agree that just because she expresses an opinion she shouldn't be disqualified. If she can do the job, put her in there. If she really wants to go after Google, she's going to have to prove her case.
The article suggests that the hydrogen was produced only when rocks crack, meaning that the microbes' food supply was meager and sporadic. Now Freund has discovered a chemical process in Earth's crust that may produce enough hydrogen to feed a mass of underground life larger than the mass of all living things at the surface. "[T]he rocks around them will replenish the hydrogen supplyÃÂ--indefinitely, over eons of time," said Freund.
To a certain extent, I am hoping to, as a linux user, remain in the minority. There are benefits to going in the opposite direction that the herd is going, and I like to find them.
Oh,dear. Sorry, I didn't mean to hit a nerve spot on. I never said they were evil. I just don't like their business practices and prefer that their standards are not adopted until they make them completely free without encumbrances of any kind.
Yes, we know how much MS loves standards. Are you saying that they will treat this any differently than they did with the OOXML "standard" that they never fully implemented?
"The Assistant Secretary shall develop and maintain a comprehensive nationwide inventory map of existing broadband service capability and availability in the United States that depicts the geographic extent to which broadband service capability is deployed and available from a commercial provider or public provider throughout each State."
I'm sure MS has a patent on this. So why would I want to use something that will *always* work better on Windows and put Linux developers in the cross-hairs?
Yeah, but have you looked at the income distribution as it has changed over the years?
Try this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States
Even Alan Greenspan, a great fan of Ayn Rand, seems uncomfortable with the growth of income at the top.
Also, it's good to point that most people at the top 5% or so, are making their money from investments rather than working hourly. They're basically money managers.
And besides, whoever said it's "your" money to begin with? Where did you get it from?
You must be a free agent in a bag of skin.

I think the swarm is just getting a buzz over there at Groklaw with an article titled "Two Quick Words About Microsoft v. TomTom: Think Bilski".
Because they read Groklaw.net?
Then it's time to end the conservative nanny state. just like the sig says.
I would prefer the liberal nanny state to the conservative nanny state that got us to where we are now.

If you want proof, go here.
Look, I'm regular but I still don't get enough fiber. How did you get 100mb fiber for that price? Please share that with us. Thank you.

You sound like sour grapes to me.

You can find a brief description here.

Talk about a shadow life form.

Wow. It's worse than I thought. Thanks for the emphatic clarification.
That assumes, of course, that they *PAID* for it.

Could be. Check out page page 563:
"The Assistant Secretary shall develop and maintain a comprehensive nationwide inventory map of existing broadband service capability and availability in the United States that depicts the geographic extent to which broadband service capability is deployed and available from a commercial provider or public provider throughout each State."
This must be what you mean by competition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YExl9ojclo&feature=PlayList&p=42D084E7C4E99462&playnext=1&index=1
See? It's just like Balmer said: Silverlight will work better on Windows. Please, just buy Windows and nobody gets hurt.
Thanks for the clarification and post. I watched it on tv at work and my wife watched it on Hulu. Nice sig, too.
Yes, it's newer, and probably works better. But it's designed to drive Windows sales, not open standards. Patent Trolls, anyone? They're delicious.
I'm sure MS has a patent on this. So why would I want to use something that will *always* work better on Windows and put Linux developers in the cross-hairs?

It's time to reframe the debate over economic policy.
I like the first one better.
