Yes. america needs a good ass-kicking to give it some much needed humility.
And don't give me any of that "Greatest Nation in the World" crap either. The only reasons the u.s. was successfull in the past was geographical isolation from the major European powers and fertile soil.
Yet again the myth of the liberal media surfaces its ugly head. If you don't want a liberal view of the world, watch TV. There you'll just get a corporate view.
This is one of the big new features of Windows XP that Microsoft is touting. Says CNET's Review, "A new option called Interactive Support lives at the top of all help and support services screens. Follow this link to open Remote Assistance, a peer-to-peer tool that lets you email other Whistler users and lets them, in turn, take over your system and show you exactly what they'd do. This is great if you can't find a feature or have a hard time explaining the problem you're having. The tool is designed to work with Microsoft or hardware vendor tech support but can also help experienced friends or family members solve newbies' PC problems." Sounds like yet another built in "feature" to add to a script kiddie toolbox.

In lieu of the mad scientist that should be here, allow me to say, "Mwah ha ha! They thought I was mad! But who's mad now! Mwah ha ha!
You would have thought that they would have learned their lesson after this. Microsoft didn't originally own the name Internet Explorer. Some hack ISP (long since belly up) owned the trademark.
Watch out for the legal department guys

I think that the guys pushing this petition are just asking for trouble. Apple is one of the more litigious companies out there, and if their website isn't copying the "look and feel" of OSX, then I'll eat my iMac. (Oh wait, I guess I'd have to buy one of the pieces of shit first).
The Sync has a streamable version of the original Nosferatu in all its black-and-white glory available on their website. Best of all, its in Real Media, so it will run under Linux.

Your primary target audience is primarily 30 year-old male programmers (read: geeks). This is an audience that doesn't exist as far as most big record labels are concerned.

I'm going on the assumption here that you haven't seen the movie (Read: no malice intended). If that is the only reason stopping you from seeing this film, fear not.

From the CNN link: "it would be tantamount to suicide" for competitors to exploit illegally obtained information about Microsoft code for their commercial benefit.
Now is this a legal threat or just the fact that even Microsofties realize their company has no economic future?

Hence a (tm) good thing, as anything that hastens the collapse of the fascist us government is necessary to promote a one-world socialist democracy.
