Welcome to capitalism. Microsoft built a monopoly under it and now that the economy is favoring a different computer model... they call foul.
I for one plan on buying a couple of IBM I-series systems for my IT department. I may also invest in a couple of servers to run windows for one thing or another, but the main system will be Linux.
I got tired of beating my head against the Microsoft monopoly back when Windows 3.0 went to 3.1.
I agree. I don't see the big "News Flash" on this. This was well known back in the mid 80's when I fixed computers for the military. They had to be Tempest certified before and after the fixes. It was common knowledge that EMF emissions would be able to be picked up and recorded some distance away from the host computer.
I can certainly understand his eloquence. I do not agree with his politics because he is so one sided.
But keep in mind history. Throughout the ages, many people have been eloquent and had a very successful career on getting people to do things that they normally would not do. I'm sure that I can come up with more names, but Hitler comes immediately to mind. Very eloquent but was behind one of the biggest holocosts ever recorded (if not the biggest).
In my experience, a politician is only technologically savvy in double speak while showing multiple faces to the public while sucking up to the voters without outright lying through their teeth.
The DNC probably outsourced the web events so they didn't have to figure out how to do be "technologically-savvy."
It is called plausible deniability. Remember, these are the same people who wrote the anti spam laws. Did their solution cut spam - even by 1%? You might have noticed that they protected themselves from being considered spammers.
I actually believe in creationism and evolution. And I will explain why. I do believe that God did create everything around us, and I believe that he set the stage for everything to evolve.
The bible states that God created everything in six days and resting on the seventh. So answer me this one question? How long is a day to God?
I know for a fact that I do not know and I am almost sure that no one else does either. Dr Steven Hawkins and Dr Albert Einstein may have had a clue, but I know I do not.
I accept God created everything because who could not believe in a higher being than us when you see your newborn child for the first time, or the Earth in its beauty from outer space?
I agree with Ben Stein on a lot of subjects and I believe that everyone is entitled to believe what they want as long as it does not hurt or harm anyone else.
May your higher being watch over you. I believe my God does.
I do not consider myself a "religious freak" either. I've been in trouble with the law and I have a cruel streak. I do not consider myself perfect. But I respect other opinions. I ask that you respect mine.
I have no problem on buying a song if I like it. The royalties should go to the artists, but they don't. A major portion of them go into the RIAA or to pay for managers, sound tech's and others who work on the production. I have no problem with that either, a days work for a days pay.
The problem that I have with this is when you purchase a song in the stores, you buy it on some type of media, LP, CD, cassette tape or others. I pay the royalty to the artist for the right to listen to that song on. The artist gets paid for their work. If I have the technology to move that song over from 8 track tape to CD's and I can listen to it, then why should I pay the recording companies and the artist royalties once again? I should pay for the first type of media and as long as I do not want another version of that song on different media that is professionally produced, re-edited and mixed, then I should not have to pay for it once again.
My complaint is that if I have the technology to write my own media from the media that I already own legally, then I should be able to and not get threatened with jail for doing it. If I want to pay someone else for a better version, then I should pay for it.
But the recording companies should drop this BS about how it hurts the artists. It threatens the executives in the recording companies and everyone else that work there.

Just my 2 cents worth.
