M$ is always trying to change that. Everywhere they don't dominate, they buy the one that does, or start a new standard compatable with no one else, put it un Winblows and tell the rest of the world: you will follow this standard if you want to deal with Winblows users. They shove it down everyones throat.
Standard operating proceedure from Redmond. If they can't dominate something, change the rules.
Love the idea, scared of the implementation. Someone would screw up and cause more trouble than the original assh*le. Crap like that gives us all a bad name.
There is a simple rule of water consumption I learned as a kid in the New Mexico desert: If you don't have to pee, your not drinking enough! This applies to anyone working outside in heat, anywhere. If what your doing causes a large amount of sweat, drink enough to make sure you still have to pee regularly. Then you will not dehydrate. It works, it's simple.
They started making it because people realized that they were getting the same pablum on the other four, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN. There really isn't any difference between them. Same viewpoint, same sources, same slant to the left. If people watch one of them and Fox News both they might make an inteligent decision some where in the middle.
The money came from Murdochs empire. Unlike when Turner started CNN and the cable companies were begging for programming to fill the channels they'd snagged from the FCC.
Just like everyone else who wants goverment influence. Give to both sides. Play both ends against the middle, who ever wins will listen and help, because the are indebted to you.
In todays's megacorp world could you imagine starting something like CNN. It was much simpler 25 years ago when Turner did it. Disney, Viacom, AOLTW, Murdoch, it is very hard for a newcomer to break in now. The last newcomer was Fox and thats been over ten years ago. I don't think they would have made it without Murdochs newspaper empire to back them up till they got a foothold.
You hit it. Phoenix is working with M$ to implement DRM through the Bios. This is not a good thing. We do need an open Bios. It can be done but convincing the Mobo manufacturers of the need is a problem, the are influenced by M$.
My Dad was a Professor for thirty years and I have seen everything you said. I have also seen the ones that wanted you to find a better way and did everyting to encourage that. I have heard from too many former students of his that my Dad was one of the good ones. The good ones are the PHD's that know they don't know everything and want to continue learning, thats one of the reasons they do research.
It might have been off topic but it was not flamebait. There is a law in the US that won't allow jammers. Every time a cell phone goes off in a movie there are another 50 - 100 people that want that law changed. There are places where they are banned already, let it sound off in a court room and find out what contempt of court is. The inconsiderate behavior of cell users is what causes the problem.
And that is what it will come close to. There will be so many charges, it could add up to 20+ years for Darl and friends. Someone will cave and try to do the deal just like the parent post said. The Stooges visual is great, thanks.
As long as the SEC is paying attention for the criminal charges when SCO goes belly up. Fraudulent trades to inflate Price, pump and dump by board, the list will be long.
I see a liberal wasting mod points has been heard from. The truth hurts about Edwards doesn't it. I live in NC and we have only had one Senator for 5.5 years because Edwards thought he got elected Presidential candidate and has never represented anyone but himself. He has missed over half the vote in the Senate during his term. His career before that has been stated the way I did it in several newspapers and the results. They will lose NC in Nov. Thats the truth, deal with it!
You make a strange comparison. How about a lawyer who made millions off shakey malpractice lawsuits and now worries about the cost of healthcare. Of course he now wants to be Vice President.

My father in law lives in Phoenix. Since the income from the ads won't lower his property or sales taxes, he thinks it sucks.
Go baby go.
Good luck and God Bless.
When rats leave a sinking ship, they aren't supposed to use their teeth first!
Nice point. Well said. That is one of the major problems, but only one. The rest of them are well known.

Direct action works. If that happened to more script kiddies, they might find other ways to ammuse themselvs. Or, they would go postal on all of us.
I'm still looking for a way to remotely flash a spammers bios. CPU & mem voltage = 12. I want smoke, sparks and fire are a bonus.

Sorry, but he has already divorced Hanoi Jane.

Not a snowballs chance in hell. Two are married and I am a grandpa.
I agree. A true gentleman and brilliant mind. It would be nice if others could follow his example, like Politicians, SCO, everyone in Hollywood.
I'm amazed that she was a redhead. I am the father of three blonde daughters, 22, 18, 16. There is a reason for all the blond jokes, trust me.

Don Henly said "Ol Billy was right, lets kill all the lawyers..." The original was from Henry V. First kill all the lawyers.

I suspect it will apply to RPM.
