This is the the same company that presented Scrooge McDuck as a role model to children, teaching them consumerism, and wasteful spending.
You gotta quit watching cartoons (or reading comic books) while on crack! Scrooge is stinking tight with his cash. He only has a castle because he inherited it. Huey, Dewey and Louie have to beg to get anything out of the old skinflint and then it's a few cents (accompanied by moths) from the little change purse.
I'm with you. The drive has piqued my interest. As for the rest of the package, I'd prefer a solid state player for its better performance under duress (during exercise) and cheap media.
I realised the other day that I was agreeing with some of the things the Conservative politicians were saying. It made me feel dirty. I'll be voting Liberal from now on.
I guess it should be comforting to know that the US is not the only place where people will vote against someone who makes sense because they have some ingrained aversion to the placard over the tent they stand in. We have Democrats that sound (and vote) like Republicans and the converse is true too. Why are they in one party when their ideology is more closely aligned with the other? Because their daddy was a staunch whateverparty as was his daddy before him.
I registered for a different party than my father. I checked out their platforms and went with the one that most closely matches what I think is right. I vote for someone based on how closely they match what I believe - regardless of party affiliation.
the bidwells have put up $40 million for the stadium. much more than what chumpangelo put up for bob or awa
I don't recall saying anything about Jerry's charities (not the MDA) but if you want to draw contrasting pictures between the two, the real gap is in how much one is willing to invest in creating a winning franchise, not satisfy their edifice complex.
Do you always post AC or just didn't want to be identified as a Cardinals booster?
Nope. In fact, if there is a grain of truth in there it legitimizes the shadier aspects of a given bundle of FUD.
Is "FUD" always dishonest?
Nope aqain. However, the use of FUD has so often been used in such a way that, like the used car salesman, it should be viewed with a jaundiced eye.
Has the PFP been guilty of their own "Disinformation Campaign"?
Yep. To varying degrees. I should point out that I've been to a couple of PLUG meetings and I've been involved with lobbyists (I've washed since then) and PLUG has nowhere near the resources of your typical corporate lobbyist nor do I think that they have the political savvy to do much beyond irritate the pols.
"No matter where you go - there you are!" Buckaroo Bonzai?
The idea of the artical is to get political leaders to sway some influence into the area of open source.
That may be the goal of PLUG, but the law is about not doing business with companies/individuals convicted under anti-trust laws. To leave those other options out (particularly when the governments have an investment in DBA's that doesn't have to be scrapped) smacks of pure zealotry and show an agenda rather than an effort to bring compliance with the laws. Legislators tend not to like zealots and I can see the laws changing as soon as MS prys their doors open with cash and drops off a nice package of FUD (which are very effective tools to use when influencing legislators who are judged not on technical merit but on popularity).
I don't think the taxpayers are doing business with the Bidwells. They're asking for something akin to charity. A business transaction would require the Bidwells to come up with something of value.
Would he prefer that people ignore security holes that are only "theoretical vulnerabilities"?
And I suppose you would want them to announce every conceivable theoretical vulnerability. Perhaps the CDC should start researching vaccines for theoretical diseases on top of what they do now.
I understand why they do this sort of thing. Sales spike after an I Love You but are otherwise pretty flat. What I can't understand is how a reasonably intelligent person can look at this rebuttal and miss the fact that it explains in pretty simple terms why there's no need to bite your nails to the quick over this "theoretical vulnerability". Perhaps an analogy will help. Suppose your city begins warning people about the possibility of catastrophic failure of materials used in virtually every home built to date that could literally bring the whole thing down on top of your family as you sleep but doesn't bother to mention that this can only happen if the structure is already fully engulfed in flames. The only way JPEGs can execute malicious code is after your box is compromised by malicious code. This is akin to saying don't run an OS because it can be made to run malicious code (actually it's not that close since it's much easier to do this with an OS which IS executable code than it is with JPEGs).
I understand some states want a licence plate with a silhouette hanging by the neck under a tree branch and an optional burning cross because it's part of their history. Besides, isn't it a Nevada bureaucrat who made the decision?
I missed most of it. One of the sites linked in the/. story said the 75% occlusion would be reached at a particular time MST when they meant MDT! Of course going out nearly an hour afterward just got me in on the waning shadow.
Once you burn out those rods and cones, they are gone forever.
Actually they grow back rather quickly. The spot in your vision after someone takes a flash picture of you is either the rods or cones or both (can't recall right now) that were burnt out. The persistence of the spot is a gague of how quickly they are replenished. What staring into the sun does is burn the retina. That's permanent.

Especially when Microsoft's starting to get all crazy with their forced subscription model.
I doubt seriously that this represents a switch from MS.

Yeah, I know I shoulda said, "while on quack"....

Zombies reading email? Fat people AND skinny people looking at my phone records? Must be the zombies if they're being shelved.

If you are convicted of a felony crime try getting a license to sell real estate, own a gun, etc.
Maybe they're afraid they might try to sell real estate with a gun.
You act like there has never been a unix virus.
You act like AIDS and a head cold are the same thing.
That linux admins work for free.
Nope. But you need fewer of them.

....SQL Server is replaceable with mySQL....
....as opposed to blindly following the nobody-ever-got-fired-for-choosing-MS meme....
As far as I know, Oracle, Informix, DB2, PostgreSQL and others aren't under the MS umbrella yet.
Or they could just exchange it for the nobody-ever-got-fired-for-choosing-IBM meme.
That certainly makes more sense than the explanation I was given. Darn teachers! Who can you trust?
Reading between the lines isn't all that hard you know!
I think it was reading the lines themselves that was giving them trouble. On the other hand, the poster seems to have proven your assertion.

How much money that's been spent on homogenized networks (win9x, nt, 2k, xp, Solaris, linux, etc) would be wasted?
Mmmm. None? How can you waste the same money twice?
I think it's hilarious that you find the post dumb but the sig funny.
There are no virii on Linux, because (relatively) no-one uses it. Your solution: everyone should use it. Nice one.
No. No. Using Windows isn't what causes viruses (unless you count blue screens). Your logic needs shoring up.
