A culture with more words is a culture with more of an ability to feel and experience deep thoughts and a meaning of self. That was a cool argument in the 1700's. ALL people of ALL cultures have the same ability for thoughts and feelings. Words are only a way to express the feelings we have. That is why poetry exists.
The man who cuts the checks makes the rules. Funny how subjects like this do not come up when applying for a job. It is in the employers best interest to make your workplace efficient, if a new solution does not work they will change it.
Next time you will buy an AGFA because of good support? Have you herd positive things about their policies or are you guessing much as you did with Acer. Most problems with warranties and/or support have allot to do with not reading the agreement we enter into. It has amazed me how many times in my life I have bought products only to find out I would not have had I read the materials available to me. I hate to say it but at this point I ALWAYS make sure I know what companies policies are before spending more than $100. I am not blaming the consumer or myself, it is just at this point we should know better than to trust a corporation bent on increasing profits.
An important distinction to note is that you cannot give up ANY constitutional rights.
An example would be that you cannot waive your right to free speach. Microsoft can make that part of the contract yet it will mean nothing in court. It is not possible to prevent me from having constitutional law on my side. All citizens have the same constitutional rights and those rights cannot be infringed upon even in a state court or your private property.
However in 1759 Pennsylvania the general makeup of society was identical. Today in 2001 life has changed. When I was a child in 1970 or so my family never locked our front door. Now I would never consider sleeping in my home with my door unlocked. Life has changed, our society has changed, the important part is to use the spirit of our past to find our future which is unknown. I have great faith in our people and great faith in our path. It will be a bumpy path as they all do seem, yet today here in Alexandria, VA the pain of tuesday still kinda hangs in the air. I am sure the feeling in New York is much worse. Never forget 9-11-01. God bless America and even those Americans that I may not agree with God bless you too. Together we are strong and we will overcome not only a misguided bill in congress. Also we shall overcome our new enemy. Life has changed I have felt it before. We may look pampered and soft fighting with words against one another yet below that is a pride that is something no words could possibly describe. We are made of steel and work in groups very well. Soon the world will yet again see the strength that our little agruments make.
In a case where one party is removed from the offensive act intent becomes needed to prove liability. If you act in good faith in your business dealings well no problem. If a lawyer can prove that Mp3.com had knowledge of the likelyhood of the crime taking place then yes that would be trouble. No way this case is a winner without substantial corporate documentation. Bottomline: Musicians - 0, Mp3.com - 0, lawyers - $250,000.00.
hmmm. bad move less than 60 days to release of XP and now another group of court preceedings that will take time. This is standard and predictable. Any legal counsel would have recommended the same thing. Good move bad company.
The more companies even if they are evil the better. I would rather have some form of competition. Microsoft has made a nice little blueprint for companies now emerging. AOL/Time Warner is one big ass company and if they control more than 50% of anything well I would not be happy. To much power in one hand is never good.
US Marshalls would be the ones to come because it is what the job consists of. Making sure orders of Federal Judges are followed is what they do. The Marshall himself has no interest in the case. The judges are the ones who can allow Federal, State or Local employees into your company.
I own a small printshop in the mid-atlantic area. I do own all of my software. I would not without a court order allow anyone into my computers. EVEN FOR JUST A GLANCE. At the same time the judge can order this and I will follow ANY court order. That is why the GPL and changing our current system is so important. Our laws on copyright and patent are outdated and unable to deal with information in the age we live in. I do not even pretend to know the answers, I just know that GPL and reform seem to make me feel a whole lot better.
Could not agree more with your experiences. I do use Mandrake at home along with Win2000. My wife and son however cannot stand Linux and I understand why it can still be a bit technical and unusual for the casual user. Most of the distros out today are still "growing up" so for the vast majority of home users it is still not a permanent thing. Should also mention my son due to his gaming habits will be locked into MS for the future.
The Little Faces light up as a paperclip asks them if they need help? You overestimate people if you think HorseSh*t macros/addons are going away. Most business users I meet do use the crap I prefer to live without, I only have a job because the software brings down the systems. hmmm I need another nap.
Physical Attacks Are Not Good

Never is physical threats or violence good or reasonable. Anytime any group uses terror, violence or intimedation it shows itself in a poor light. I may not like my boss but slashing tires or harming property is only childish and counterproductive. I may agree with your side however I for one will not agree with those who cannot express themselves without hurting others. Kinda like why I generally find Microsoft annoying. They cannot leave others be. Peacefully coexist and believe in your cause.

Fireflys, Lightingbugs call them what you will but I would rather think of them as just a wonder of nature and a pleasure to view on a hot southern night. Science is cool but somethings are more amazing unknown.
If people run out and buy this it will become the standard and we all will adjust. Some will switch to a new OS but my guess is MS will not allow there base to go running. There will always be plenty of packages and ways for all of these companies to take your money. This is just another way to grab some cash.
When in my twentys I felt the same way as most. I had amazing confidence in myself along with the belief that I knew most everything. As I have gotten older I realize that age does bring you some things that you may not deserve yet are valid. One of those things is respect and history. WIth those two things on your side a company would be foolish not to look at you first for answers. Being the best is not enough. It never has been nor will it ever be in a situation where you deal with a group of people.
that one day orbiting celestial bodies will not be labeled and judged base on the materials they are made of. I see a day of gasses playing with solids and oh nevermind, why couldn't this article be posted a week ago;-)
I always hear people say how they only had 1 or 2 teachers make a difference in thier lives. I have been incredibly fortunate to learn from many great teachers. In grade school I can remember at least 5 that helped me enjoy reading and supported my quests for knowledge. Then throughout highschool, college and grad school more and more fine teachers helped with keeping me interested and challenged. Maybe instead of expecting the teacher to come to you, you should go to them. I can only remember a few teachers who were not accessible and friendly.
This will create an amazing opportunity get people in some serious trouble. Better trust your barber and your doctor. Now a person so inclined could frame someone without much effort. I am guessing that with all DNA in a database traditional police work would be replaced by computer crunching and finding the easy solution. Instead of using the technology as a last resort we seem to have the desire to make it the first step.
It will not take long before a true mastermind will use this system to cover there own trail.
you cannot possibly blame a local store or think they are less honest. as the article states it is immpossible to tell at the time of purchase what you are really getting and you void you warrenty when you find out. if the companies making the cpus really wanted to stop this i am sure they could find methods. such as packaging of some kind that would let you know if it has been broken. i personally enjoy shopping locally it is nice to talk with other geeks as hear peoples opinons of products and issues. anyone can do bad things large or small companies. life is a risk and so is buying any product.
