Knowing Philips, they'll find a way to totally f*ck up the marketing stuff, and let others(sony?) have the market with inferiour products. Betamax, anyone?
Even if it is not considered a act of war... Most of the time, the next paragraph in your policy states that acts of terrorism aren't insured either (look for nuclear things too, not insured.....)
... According to interviews with J.R.R. Tolkien.
But let me guess... Because they are childrens books, you won't read them...
Heck! You won't read at all... Will you?
Last time I bought a toaster, it didn't tell the local bakery about my toasting habits after I filled in the waranty form. Neither does my cofee-device tell Douwe Egberts (Dutch cofee brand) of my humongous cofee intake.
And THATS exactly what this whole passport thing is going to do.
With such an enourmous database filled with surfing behaviour, linked to an identifiable person, next time I would contact MS-support they will be able to tell that I take my cofee with three sugar cubes!
Hmm, first thing to do when the linux-drivers hit the street, is making an 'organic'-StarTrek like console out of it!
If 7'o'9 can work these screens, so can I!
Engage!

The Challenger

· Score: 1
Mod me down, but how the hell can you compare the explosion of the Challenger with things like Hitler.
Sure, it wasn't a pretty sight to see the thing go boom, but then again, there are lots and lots and LOTS of people getting killed out there doing their jobs, pololicemen, firemen ect.
Sorry, but the explosion wasn't even a historical something, I mean, they wheren't the first people to die in spaceflight. They where the first to die in a spaceshuttle, but does that make it 'historical'? The next crash of a big airplane right into the middle of a crowded city is more historical that that!
I guess that is also had a much greater impact on people in the US then on people in the rest of the world (tho I remember not beeing very happy seeing the thing happen on TV) but a 'historical event'? No thank you...
So, on one side MS wins a court case in which some people sued MS because they thought that MS was keeping the price of their software up by illegal means (monopoly, MS won this case because the court ruled that since they didn't buy from MS directly, but from resellers, MS wasn't responsible for the high price), and on the other side, you get MS on your back because you sell, quite legally I think, official licences of MS.
This surely stinks, Doesn't it?

Hmm, (at least in the M$-version of Java) is a piece of text that, under no circumstances you should run weapons-, medical-, or the stuff that you describe-systems with their Java:) Wonder why?:) Oh, they also mention nuclear facilities and aircraft control centre's. Hertog

Easy speaking from behind a keyboard, isn't it?

I can't get the image out of my mind that this is very simmilar to Executive Orders by Tom Clancy..
Think I heard that military went to Delta?
Damn, US-Asians, I wish you all the best in the coming times!

Dunno 'bout you, but at my /. settings, none of the 'top' reply's have, up 'till your post, even mentioned Linux.

Hey, that's about the only thing they CAN do! I mean, to become one, one has to read through all those Micro$hit books!
It's applying what one reads, but then again, if you ever looked into one of those....
