Honestly, I think you are a bit misguided, but that isn't a question, now is it?

I would have to say it would be geeks like people on Slashdot.
DIVX essentially fails because the people who first bought DVD players chose a DVD player. Which was also first to market. The Rio was the first to market, and the press was a nice plus also.
If you watch ZDTV "FreshGear" (shudder), they will have on some sort of online music player, and they call it an "MP3 player". That is the key. The people are looking for an MP3 player, and if they don't get one, they will get something else.
That would work, and I'm sure that they could collect all of the papers out there. You could get it by if you dealt with a clueless person. And then it gets put on microfishe, and so on, and so forth.
Only one post when I load it, but it is already a -1. That is quite disturbing. Moderators seem a bit ansy, but maybe it is something in their script.
You think it would be damaging to a national ISP to have this on them. "The only brodband provider banned! Join us today!" Yes...That would be an ad I would enjoy.

And that was like a year and a half ago. Of course, now the Simpsons even comments on Microsoft.
This is offtopic up to now, but one company would not be allowed unless it had more than software. You would have to control industrial production and the banks. So sorry.
Also, this was in the forum, and there is no person to contact it seems to ask how to corroborate this.
If you reprogram XUL. Everything is in the chrome folder for Windows, and I think the same in Linux. You can making it have a less white and blue look.
Which is what people are trying to prevent, I guess. It is just ambigous. It isn't a propaganda machine that did it. It is just our general language, and some non-suit thought of it also.
Take the work hack. It can mean hack & slash. Or hack in the computer sense, or hack in the way of "I hacked a path thru the jungle."
Rip doesn't exactly have a positive meaning in the base sense of the word. The base meanings are cut, hit and slash according to Webster's.
I extract songs off CDs. That's is what I use when I 'rip it' off a CD. You don't rip off a game when you take it off the CD that it came on.
Which was headed by a pyscho that tried to investigate almost every single famous person possible?
Oh wait, Ruby Ridge, Waco. My bad. Now we have an FBI that shoots first then asks questions. But they can catch dem terrorists.
And don't you people think that the FBI has checked many people that you don't know about? I mean, you might be able to request the documents through the Freedom of Information Act, or whateve it is called since it escapes me at the moment.
Seach through memepool.com and you'll find it somewhere.
Do you get the fractal type things for AOL CDs in the microwave? Just wondering, you know.
Offtopic. My bad. But my grandma gets AOL CDs for some reason. She doesn't have a computer yet. I'm still pushing the topic though. Maybe one of those Astro thingies...
If you live in the United States, you could not vote for Bush.
"There should be limits to freedom."
If anything, I would vote for McCain, even though I vote democratic. And note to Mr. Profiler, you can put that in my file. At least McCain has enough balls to have his own opinion, and even if he isn't the best on privacy, he is big on finance reform, which at least could reform politics from the big money crap of Bush and Gore. It is sad how many people say "Well, I voted for so and so because he wasn't as bad as the other guy." That's just the state of affairs I guess.
Back on topic... You can keep yourself out of most junk mail as long as you shop wisely and find their non disclosure agreements. I can't find one for school, however, so I get stuff due to that. Bleh.
Of course, I'm trusting them to non-disclose, but since I only get student credit card applications, I think I have done fairly well.
It is basically a gutted PC. Wow. It is just a way to build hype. And the more they don't say about, the more people will just get annoyed and go away.
Like Nintendo with their Project Reality, Ultra 64, etc. Even Nintendo now discloses more than MS. Nintendo has to be the most secretive and strange company. They do some of the strangest things, but they can pump out the games. They can make a good game and find companies that can make fun games for them.
Can Microsoft do that? Unless they basically try buying their way in, they will have more of a problem than they expect. Nintendo and Sony have deep pockets. And they have no series characters. Like Pokemon, Mario, or Crash. And no Square.
And at least Nintendo basically has disclosed general info. Like the IBM copper CPU, etc.
I don't really care too much. Good games make people buy consoles, not the processor or the damn graphics card.
Yes, and the blank will hit the fan most likely

The ironic thing is that the big companies make CDR discs and writers, which allows some people to collect massive amount of songs or illegal programs.
Also, there is another company that has fought and won. Bleem! won against Sony, and they seem to have stabilized into allowing them to sell it. Napster is quite iffy, but why doesn't the RIAA sue AOL for its ICQ and AIM network file trafficing, which is probably ten times worse due to the huge amount of people. Or maybe freedrive?
In a college network, ICQ is the way to transfer files between each other.
I got a good laugh out of the nopiracy.com site. 109,000 jobs are lost per year to piracy. Let's see... you are just selling more copies instead of hiring more programmers, etc. So that just means more profits in reality.
I think the inflection point is the growing hatred to corporations which is actually similiar to the Roman Catholic church in the Middle Ages. The church started going for pure profit through its "Buy your way to Heaven" plan and the Protestant movement started a major change in how people viewed the church. But this is just rambling.
Example: You take the word slashdot, and move you hand over one space and type slashdot. It's hard to do in the beginning, but it get easier.
d;sdjfpy would be the password, except I switch the symbols to something on the top row. It looks like randomness when it really isn't.
Of course, for access I actually care about, I use something completely different, which is just random numbers and symbols mixed with 3 letter words.
Managing them is easy, since I have basically 10 main passwords for web sites. If I feel like it I rotate them around, and then just try to remember which had which. But I'm not randomly guessing my password anymore.
For the inherently lazy. What if you do have a class with notes online from the professor? How many college students are really going to not be lazy and rewrite them. This is just really indoctrinating them with the plug and chug strategy or copy things.
Anyway, the people who go through on scoop don't learn much. And I'm talking about the long term here. Is it me, or everyone looking for a cheap way out. I bet you Intel has some new engineers that can do QA since they blew through the class on scoop or something like that.
I haven't checked out that site though, mainly because I can't get in without signing up.
They have on their dorm door, "movies for sale or trade." So I think that they deserve to be smacked. Advertising that you have illegal copies of SouthPark, Star Wars, and others. Freshman are just too damn stupid.
Most people should have better things to do at 11:30 EST at night than read Slashdot.
Well, it specifically says that it isn't the big bosses that want it, it is the people below them.
If the migrate the server, they might eventually migrate the PCs, which means a much bigger increase. Linux is slowly spreading through my campus, from the CS department to other labs now.
Of course, my department won't switch because HYSYS is on the NT machines, and a near riot would ensue if they got rid of that.
Kind of stereotypical, isn't that?

Well, I worked at a library for awhile, so you can't blame me from reading then. I would read a whole Animorph books (a children's book, if you must know) on my 15 minute break. I knew a trucker who always came in on Mondays and would check out all of the sci-fi and mystery books on tape for his week on the road. Computer enthusiasts (geeks) do read sci-fi, but they checked out more mysteries on average. I am now in college though. Lately, I have read about 5 sci-fi books, which was basically the Donaldson's Gap series. I do hope you read something else other than technical books and non-fiction. Sometimes you just have to read for the sake of reading and not care about it. I read anything that is written well, except for romance of course.

...why did Apple release QuickTime 4.0?
In it's current state, I mean.
It violates a lot of the so-called interface rules of a mac. Not a single button that a Mac user would expect seems to be the case for QuickTime 4.
But maybe I'm wrong, since I don't have access to a Mac. The PC version is stupidly designed and lacks sane control structure.
Will Corel LINUX be available as a not-for-charge download or sold as a standalone product?
Most of the Corel LINUX operating system falls under the guidelines of the GNU Public Licence, and will be available as a not-for-charge download. A standalone version, which may contain additional enhanced features, will be available on CD-ROM and will be sold with an accompanying manual and technical support. Final price has not yet been determined but Corel LINUX will be competitively priced to other Linux operating systems. Corel LINUX will also be included with the soon-to-be-released WordPerfect® Office for LINUX.
Is there an advantage to Corel to give away the source code to Corel LINUX and make it available as a not-for-charge download? By returning the source code to Corel LINUX to the Open Source community and making Corel LINUX available as a not-for-charge download, we are acting within the spirit of the Open Source community, and helping to grow the Linux market by creating new demand for applications in addition to the operating system. According to this, they appear to want to release under the correct license. But, all other distrobutions have open betas, so I don't understand what they really are concerned with.
But on a strange side note, why do they say they will release Corel Linux with enchanced features that are not part of of the GPL? I assume that it won't have their installer and a free copy of WordPerfect. But that isn't a big deal for me.
Why do we let all of the local access providers use Ameritech, SBC, and Bell Atlantic system's network? To promote competition, even though it is a flawed system toward the small companies.
Yet cable doesn't fall into the same type of service? A phone company can't access that cable network, but a cable company could access a phone network. Is the purpose of control in markets to allow access for everyone so we don't get another Ma Bell or Microsoft?
AT&T can provide everything with the addition of cable. Except they need the local network of phones. So AT&T can access everyones network except they will restrict access to their own. That is the problem.
Or do you want AT&T to become another monopoly that has to be broken up into even more Baby Bells.
