    I _love_ my Caramel Frapachino and I love the atmosphere of Barnes and Noble (*coughchickscough*) but I just _hate_ this yuppydom of American suburia.

    Why of course! May 99 10-Q skip to part II-other information. Down where it says "Submission of matters to a vote of Security Holders." it says "Adopt Anti-Slave Labor Policy." It was voted down 88m to 700m. If this doesn't show that Lucent "employs" slave labor, I don't know what does. :(

    sorry to tell you that they are...damn monopolists... :) and they're calculators suck to. Of course, I'm just saying this because nearly everyone I know wants one, and I'm the kinda person that hates Starbucks and Barnes and Noble. ;)

    Well...hmmm...I know also that many technology companies employ slave labor in stuff like that (such as Lucent technologies, as is implied in their proxy a while back when they voted to _not_ get rid of slave labor) and also very low wages. Unfortunetly, the worst stuff goes on with the builders of the components like Intel, so you can't just go a build your own computer. Well...what I guess you could do is just build your own components, but that might be a rather big job. What I suggest you do is write to the companies you are worried about asking them to reconsider their actions. On your next point, I know that several tech companies do a lot of charity work such as matching donations and a lot of other monetary things and also things like employee volunteering weeks and things such as that. Unfortunetly, this is a very difficult question to answer and I'm glad it was posted. Good Luck! :)

    for one, I think the proc inside webtv is like not x86 or any other proc worth anything. Two, don't they require you to sign-up for their service? Either way, the arch sucks and the proc is shit, and there is hardly any mem to speak of so...

    I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the original poster guy said that there were so many other better languages for GUIs and I said, "isn't linux written in C..." of course, I was being shortsighted and didn't think of the fact that the linux kernel has nothing to do with UI and that C is not too bad for a "backend" sort of thing like the kernel. again, I'm sorry.
