I see your point, but if you look at the two parties involved, buisness and goverment. Buisness (capitalism) is doing what "it is", makeing sure it obtains a surplus of funds and market, where as the goverment (democracy) fails to be ruled by the people and follow a few select people.
A democracy that is allowed direct contact with special interest groups and lobbyism will drift towards an oligarchy, unless both (goverment and buisness) have a strong morale and/or rules (law) that are upheld. An oligarchy can, of course, only happend if the people let it, but I will let that be up to you (plural) to judge if that will happen.

Q. Who is Tonic Systems? What are their products? A: Tonic Systems is a San Francisco-based company that provides Java presentation automation products and solutions for document management - Tonic Systems Builder, Tonic Systems Filter, Tonic Systems Transformer, Tonic Systems Viewer, and JarJar Links. Features of their products included text extraction for indexing documents, presentation creation capabilities and document conversion tools. *shudders* Had a horrible flashback there, read it as Jar Jar Binks.

Hi bloggers and friends.
I just had a thought and I know you wanted to read all about it, do piranhas fart more than other fish? When you think about what they eat, they must do, right?
I had the same thought. But then I think the physical size of the pixels (1x1mm I reckon) should be large enough to prevent that. At that price it is probably checked before shiping.
By early 2008, Microsoft's contracts with computer makers will require companies to only sell Vista-loaded machines. "The OEM version of XP Professional goes next January," said Frank Luburic, senior ThinkPad product manager for Lenovo. "At that point, they'll have no choice."
Despite Microsoft's relentless promotion of Vista, manufacturers are still seeing plenty of demand from customers for systems preloaded with XP, especially in the finicky SOHO market.
I have no idea what their contract is with Microsoft. But if they had some backbone, wouldn't now be the time to say, "if you don't allow us to continue to sell XP (which is our most selling option) we will drop Vista"?
Just a thought, the article only mentions XP Pro OEM, so not clear if other versions are affected. It should still be possible to buy XP in a store as long as they carry them, ne?
You mean that an added letter to "make" a new word isn't protected? Hum, I guess that could explain why they only made and shipped one P-P-Powerbook.:p
Rather than sue, sue, sue, shouldn't there be an easier way to remove this information?
I do see your point, but what you are asking for would be the end of the internet as we know it (at least if the current trends is an indication of what is ahead).
Put very simple, to remove something online, you would have to remove every copy online and offline, otherwise it could be posted again (say hello to DRM). It will also prevent citizens to expose 'wrong doings' by goverments (or companies) since they can presure ISP/service providers to stop the info from being accessable (take a look at what China is up to). It might be possible to make laws to provide a way for this to take place, but you need all countries to agree for it to be effective. Besides, the current trackrecord doesn't look good with the DMCA.
An anonymous reader from a parellel universe writes
"As reported by IGN, Wii developer Chris Hecker made a very quotable troll statement at a traditionally contentious GDC panel. At the 'Game Publishers Rant' event Wednesday morning, Hecker stated that he thought Spore is a piece of sh*t. He went on to refer to it as 'two Sim games stuck together with duct tape.' He also took Spore devs to task for not taking gamers seriously enough. 'It's not clear to me that Spore devs gives a s*** that platforms have different goals and games/players.'"
But due to an error you get a copy of the previous photocopy which was stuck in the system. ... and it is of the butt of the hairy intern, you know, the one that never baths. ... furthermore the odor function breaks downs on that print, and the smell is increased 100 fold. ... just as the boss walks into the room, along with your family and a live TV crew to surprise you as a contestant on a new reality show. ... and as you try to cover up what is going on, your belt snaps and your pants drop down. Leaving you pantless holding a big smelly butt on live TV.

A show of hands if you are surprised by kickbacks and corruption in the goverment.

I call the SOGC and talked with Ray Wilson, another very helpful human.

Why is Microsoft even putting a lot of work into WHS? Most people have already moved onto DWD. :P

Will United Nations have one too?

Waaah? I wasn't even near that place. Besides nobody saw me there, so you can't prove anything. :P

I am glad they didn't ask Scotus older brother Scrotum, as you might know he is nuts.
Take away the scale up and you lose Google.
You would also lose spam, ease of access to child porn, phishing and the continious violation of copyrights. To name some of the cesspools.
I might remember the "old days" in a pink tint, but I could easyly live without Google and all that this "scale up" brought along.

That was the point of the joke.
