I don't know about you, but I like Microsoft. I used to be a Microsoft hater but then I realized I was just following the crowd. I've used Linux for years and while I think Linux is a nice niche, it will never replace Microsoft. Linux is plagued by the same problems as Unix --- too fractious.
Microsoft establishes standards, and believe it or not...standards are good. If someone comes along and establishes better standards, then so be it. I don't think it will be Linux, however.
Then perhaps the French would have stayed in France to fight!
It seems right around the time that Germany decided to waltz into Paris, the entire French army suddenly got "lost" and left the country. All they needed was GPS and they dould have found their way back and fought.
Or you could do what I did. Download it from a newsgroup. It's pretty much available everywhere for download.
I thought the movie was subpar. It wasn't scary and the 3rd act was abysmal. But a nice effort from the Brits. Here's to hoping that they continue to refine their craft.
Bookmarks, back and forward buttons are FINE, the real innovation is in the content, and the display of said content.
Nonsense, unless you graduated from the 640K is all the memory you'll need-school.
The current browser form is not perfect and there are tons of room for innovation. Because you or I can't see it right now doesn't mean anything. I have a feeling that you couldn't envision anything like a browser 10 years ago.
It will take some people with special insight to advance the browser. Just give it time.
Fuck the rest of the world. I want the U.S. government to smack down silly companies like Hynix and I also want to them help American compete by any means, whether that includes snooping by the CIA and NSA and sharing information with American companies.
Basically, I accept anything and any behaviour by the American gov't to benefit American companies and people. I don't really care if a few gooks or toothless Canadians lose their jobs.
Tariffs correct an illegal trading situation. As soon as the South Korean govermnent learns to let their companies compete without holding their hands, then perhaps there won't be a need to take Hynix's money and line Micron's coffers.
Anyone who doesn't like it can basically go suck a dick. That's the general American attitude.
You're not making sense and contradict yourself, which isn't surprising. How is "increasing the quality of your merchandise" going to combat illegal dumping? If you're running a business selling a prduct and I'm in the store right next to you selling the same product at half the price because the local mayor has it set up so that I don't have to pay taxes or any other local bills...who do you think is going to be successful?
When you mature a bit and can think in adult terms, come back and put forth a well thought out idea.
Hynix announces high volume trade agreement with major EU computer retail chains. Maybe. If the US doesn't want cheap good stuff, other countries will be happy to take it.
Perhaps you should write to the South Korean gov't asking them to allow their companies to compete on their own merits. After all, that is is the essence of a competitive market, isn't it?
If Hynix can't compete on the same grounds, it shouldn't be allowed to trade. As such, 44% tariffs seem inadequate. It should be on the order of 150 - 200 %.
Way to go Commerce Department. Continue to smack down these incompetents.
I didn't know Micron would get the money. That's great news. Since they're the ones that have been aggrieved by the South Korean government's unfair subsidy to Hynix.
Farmers all over the world are subsidized. It's in their interest to ensure that farming is a viable industry. Therefore I have no problem with that. In fact, I wish they subdized them several hundred billion more. I will contact my congressman on this soon.
The South Koreans must be eating some really strong kimchi to think that they can get away with competing illegally with the nation that gaurantees their very freedoms. Once the U.S. pulls out of the DMZ and pulls its forces entirely out of S. Korean, allowing N. Korea to invade them, they'll realize how foolish they were.
I don't know, $19.99 for 3 dvds seems reasonable to me. I think Netflix has a lot of room for improvement in other areas, however. Their website is very pedestrian. Their search engine is atrocious. I hope this new competition spurs them on to better things.
Did you? I felt great. I love the fact that Bush is a mean, nasty bastard. I want him to lead this world into WW3. It will give us an opportunity to slaughter a lot of people.
Bullshit. That is not the equation, no matter how much you like it to be. You may ignore all the historical facts you like, but that doesn't make them go away.
I ignore the European revisionist, non-apologist history books, yes.
Yeah, yeah. Whatever it takes to make the inconsistencies in your story fit, right?
The Zimmerman Notes are history. I'm sorry if interjecting valid history throws you off. You would do well to try and learn history. It tends to help your argument somewhat.
Telling that you equate European imperialist colonialism as having resolve. It has the benefit of being obviously true. That you don't happen to like the outcome (or any other value-judgement) makes no difference to the fact that it happened.
Then surely you must equate American "resolve" against Iraq as honorable as well. If you don' tlike the outcome, it makes no difference to the fact that it happened.
No, quite the opposite -- European post-WW2 policy. The policy that says that you don't go to war without a reason or just because you feel like it.
Is that the policy that says you don't go to war when you have several billion in investments in the target country? Is that the policy that says international institutions and agreements are to be upheld, except when it differs with national interest (See French nuclear bombing in Pacific Islands)
Vietnam had nothing to do with bailing out the French. Vietnam was a mistake on part of the United States, based on its insane belief in the domino theory (talke about religious zealotry). If the United States had been consistent in Asia in the latter 1940's and told France to clear out of Indochina (like the US pushed us out of the Dutch West-Indies), Vietnam would not have happened.
Vietnam had everything to do with the failures of the French. They tried to rape Vietname for everything they could get but when the communist challenge represented itself, they were out of there before you could say 'cowards'.
That's odd. I seem to recall a certain Parisian demanding acquiescence from the pre-EU members. That's his stupidity. However, that is not the EU talking.
Of course not. The EU nations rejected that nonsense. They will never bow to a Frenchman. The thought of that is ludicrous.
Yes, the revisionist, non-apologist history books are certainly thought provoking. You should know; they're all printed and sold in the US.
I wasn't awaRe that we sold European history books. I guess we like to study propoganda from the experts.
No. Whatever else you can say about it, Truman dropped those bombs to end a war. That is something completely different from Bush, who started an unnecessary war and destabilized the entire world over nothing. This comes under the heading of "there's decisiveness and there's stupidity."
Bush started a war to prevent destablization of the world and firstmost to protect America, which is his first job. The world doesn't want to see a destablized America. That means the end of the world for everyone. Cheney and Wolfowitz will see to that.
Hahaha, You think? I wonder if that's why we didn't offer to rebuild Russia and China? Probably another bad decision.
With the French, America already had enough dubious allies to support. Why add another ?
You're kidding, right? France had the world to do with Germany after WWII.
They were only allowed a presence by the Americans as sort of a pity gesture. France had been embarassed by WW2 cowardice and America threw them a bone to help them regain their lost prestige. They failed at this as well.
Kind of like how America regards France today, right? And how most of Europe sees the US. It works both ways.
And we see how effective European thinking is on American action.

Why shouldn't Gates earn dividends on his shares? His dividend payment would be proportionate to the amount of shares he owns.
I guess certain people have to find any excuse to attack the man.

Yeah, I hear Canada has a lot of soft wood. That's why your bitches come down here. For some nice hard wood.
Don't take this personally. It's not aboot you and me. Okee ?

Oh really? I wouldn' tbe so sure about that:

Perhaps you should write to the South Korean gov't asking them to allow their companies to compete on their own merits. After all, that is is the essence of a competitive market, isn't it?
I have no interest in ensuring anything of the sort. As long as goes to the industry in general, I am all for it.
If Hynix can't compete on the same grounds, it shouldn't be allowed to trade. As such, 44% tariffs seem inadequate. It should be on the order of 150 - 200 %.
Way to go Commerce Department. Continue to smack down these incompetents.

Thanks.
So then you don't have problems with flooding the market with undervalued products to eliminate competitors.
Microsoft will be glad to know the Open Source community has come around to its way of thinking.
Thanks.
Why should the U.S. allow trade with another nation only when it's good for them? That would be idiocy.
Silly logical deduction. But apropos considering the site where it was posited.
The South Koreans must be eating some really strong kimchi to think that they can get away with competing illegally with the nation that gaurantees their very freedoms. Once the U.S. pulls out of the DMZ and pulls its forces entirely out of S. Korean, allowing N. Korea to invade them, they'll realize how foolish they were.
