So, wanna get in on a BRAND NEW BUSINESS as a FEDERAL PRISON PROVIDER COMPANY? It's a great ground level opportunity to build your prison from the ground up! Get all the local, state and federal subsidies you could ever squander! Hire your own team of crack prison guards!
WARNING: Waterboarding may be illegal in some jurisdictions. Your mileage may vary. Check with your local law enforcement agencies. Nah, don't bother, they won't answer, they won't have to, they're LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Which browser will be on the machine and tell the vendors to stay the bloody hell out of it. You know they'll kowtow to MS and put IE back on it anyway.
Sorry this isn't re: Comcast, but I fired Comcast from providing my home cable service back in about 2003 since they wanted to put me on a NATted segment of their network on an RFC 1918 IP address. Ever since moving to Wide Open West, aka Wowway.com, traffic destined to my machine on port 53 from outside their network has been blocked. I don't pay extra for server connectivity, so I take my chances. Nevertheless, I've operated a hobby mail server sampling spam since being connected.
I use voice recognition technology every day. I work in medical transcription and the system takes recorded voice from physicians dictating their medical reports, runs it through a VR engine, and then it's my job to inspect the output and ensure it's as close to the voice context as possible. Many times, all I have to do is make a few corrections in the reports and upload.
It's doubled and at times even tripled my productivity over traditional transcription methods.
I dunno about that. How many times daily do you listen to the radio and hear the same songs provided for the simple cost of an occasional commercial interruption? It can be easily argued that the artists and the RIAA have placed their songs out to be shared on public radio, so what's wrong with similar arrangements elsewhere? I share my CD with you and you make copies and share with a friend a song or two on a mix CD. I don't see much difference, only the medium changes from plastic with a bit of tin foil to the tubes and wires of the Internet.
Everyone around the world: Time to put away all the nice stories we all read as children to comfort us, time to grow up, time to develop some respect for each other's strengths, time to aid those with the biggest weaknesses and bring all of us to a common level of peace, understanding, wealth and knowledge. That there is still poverty and hunger in a world where failing corporations are awarding executives billion dollar bonuses just boggles my mind.
What's wrong with full support for both OpenGL and DirectX being delivered by wine, thereby reaching out to anyone who wants to run a Windows app on Linux and other Wine-capable platforms?
Increasing the amount of spam received on anyone's servers is something that I think most admins will tell you is unacceptable. Even a child of 5 could tell you that 2 + 2 does not equal 0.
I should amend this: If that's what you want to do with your own email servers at your own business, have at you. But if your fakeass offers end up in my inbox, the server I receive them from will be treated like every other one that sends spam -- reported to major blocklisting facilities and added to local blocklists.
Sending more spam in the name of eliminating spam is not eliminating spam. It's still creating a mess on people's email servers and personal computers, and storage for much of it adds up, especially at the server level. How about we simply improve our educational system and teach marketing majors a bit more about business ethics and ethical advertising?
Sorry, but stock options have a habit of tanking when in a bad market and going up in a good market. Sure, it might be a good time to get in, but I think I'd counter with a half stock, half cash offer to ensure you at least see some of that promised gain. When those shares mature enough to do anything with them, will the company be in business to allow you to pick up that capital gain?
I know a ton of people who use marijuana on a regular basis who also show up for work consistently, do an excellent job, work overtime and then some. So, um, wanna come up with an argument against that?
I've seen people sling around the same old tired arguments against pot since was 16 and first learning about it and trying it, back in the mid '70s. Problem is, not enough people have tried it. Most people who are against pot talk out of their asses without a lick of experience.
Well, what's wrong with Microsoft actually security their operating system from users running apps that are capable of writing to important system files and installing unwanted services without permission? Maybe that would be a good thing?
Nah, the antivirus software market is big business, and we'd not want to shit all over our business partners, right?
I disagree with you on walking away and not helping someone who keeps asking over and over and over the same questions. I put the answers to those questions in writing with a copy to the person's manager to ensure the message gets across.
I work in medical transcription now, managing a large group of people handling 11 hospital accounts. I get the same questions over and over and over. For them, I use http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com./ It helps get the message across really, really well, too.
Um, say gents, you can feel free to pool your resources on your own to develop new battery technology. However, there's no need for the government to pony up my tax dollars on this endeavour, especially considering how eager you folks are to outsource jobs overseas left and right, mm-kay?

Now, how do we incorporate this into SubGenius mythos? Are you a preacher of "Bob"?

And vote this obvious shill for RIAA/MPAA out of office. His words speak volumes as to which pockets he's funded from.

Big Brother knows what's best for us. Now, sit down, shut up, and consume consume consume, work work work, buy buy buy.
Dump Windows and run Linux. Can't be that many programs left that you need to run in Windows.
I'd not declare voice recognition dead yet.

Such waste. Such folley. Such sheer insanity.
Or else I'll sick Loki on your ass.

Email sent to people without them first consenting to the process is spam, plain and simple. I don't care what it looks like.
SENDING MORE SPAM TO ELIMINATE SPAM IS NOT ELIMINATING SPAM, DUMBASS.
Go back to my original response and read the first sentence again: Sending spam to eliminate spam is not eliminating spam.
If that's too overly simple for you, I don't know of any other way to get the point across.

I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on a Dell Inspiron 1501. It suspends to disk and resumes very nicely, thanks.
I looked at the beta. I found it to be the same pig, just different lipstick and a new wig. And continuing to require virus protection? EPIC FAIL.
