Just as much toil goes into manufacturing cars or computers or houses, yet our economic system doesn't provide to the people who make them a continuing share in the profits thereof. Musicians who take maximum advantage of their privileged position in capitalism must expect resentment from the vast majority of workers whose labour isn't compensated in the same way.
Effort would be better applied to fixing the bugs in Firefox 3, like the non-functional profile settings to turn off automatic updating and the use of Internet Explorer's security settings.
A measure which is supposedly not compulsory is effectively made compulsory for anyone who works in education. (The whole education background check thing is a mile-high pile of crap anyway. Why should people have to pay the police £60 to say that they're not a child molester?)
They still haven't fixed the missing System box under Windows, there still isn't a 'don't spawn multiple threads' preference and it still secretly installs a scheduled task that runs Google Update.
I moved to OpenOffice specifically because Office 2007 can't be operated from the keyboard. With the ribbon you can't bring down a menu with an Alt keypress and see the options on it. There's still Google apps I suppose.
This story comes of course from the Daily Mail, the paper that ran the 1934 headline 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts!' and since then has devoted itself to dividing the universe into things which either cause or cure cancer, or indeed both
First Firefox starts depending on the IE security settings, now this - has it started using the IE temporary internet files as well? I'm starting to wonder if Mozilla are being paid by MS to promote their line that IE and the OS's networking model are one and the same thing.
And anyway, dragon law probably does demand disproportionate punishements for minor offences. Just look at what Smaug did to Esgaroth when he thought the Lake-men had nicked his gold cup. (Although he could be described as having lost a counter-suit).

I use Facebook to interact with people who I already know IRL. I don't want people from school or anywhere else to find me, so I use a realistic-sounding nom de net.
New Labour - who introduced a series of changes allowing the police to pursue petty crimes with maximum prejudice - have been oddly reluctant to act against private investigators who commit actual real crimes. Possibly because they tend to be ex-police officers?
If Google plan to have this installed on netbooks, it will actually have to have reliable hardware support, which is the one thing I've been looking for from Linux all these years.
If the OP really dislikes having to keep up with new developments, management should suit him down to the ground, and since he says he likes it anyway, the choice is clear.
The exciting day came when email could be sent to non-CS addresses by prefixing INTERNET: to the address. Web access was initially provided on a different phone number to the standard CS one, so if you got sick of web browsing at 9600 baud, you could hang up, redial and cruise round the CS forums instead.
As other posters are correctly pointing out, compulsion has already been introduced by the back door using 'prevention of money laundering' as an excuse. You can't get paid from your job without a bank account, and you can't open a bank account without either a passport or an identity card driving licence, and you won't be able to get a passport or DL without being put on the identity card register.
Now, the Atlanta, Georgia PD might say that you were still making a voluntary choice, as you could choose to not have a job or bank account, but my choice is not to believe that crip-crap.
Don't shell out vital cash on projectors. Simply improve bicycle safety by keeping off the pavement and stopping at red lights and pedestrian crossings.
Caps Lock is the most useful key on the keyboard. Any subvert who wants me to hold down shift while I type a long CAPITALISED_IDENTIFIER is going to have to prize Caps Lock from under my cold dead little finger.
It could be argued that Tolkien, being a dyed-in-the-wool legitimist, would have supported the duly constituted Iranian government in suppressing protests. But I disagree with that - his letters show that he took the Fascist anti-government side in the Spanish civil war.

Ah, I see someone else has done the cancer joke already

Yes, I do this too, it's a neat and tidy solution.
This is a classic example of how New Labour have given the police the power to make up the law as they go along.

that Erich has finally got out of Beta.

That's the last financial contribution Wikipaedia's getting out of me.

Quite so sir. In my estimation the evident enthusiasm for rape displayed by some Slashdotters leaves them in no moral position to criticise spammers.
Can't see the problem here. Decreasing sensitivity means a longer time to orgasm, and thus increased pleasure duration for both partners.
