I was also a bit scared by the time I was done with it all. Lindberg cites not only the pitfalls that are out there, but backs it up with case history that illustrates his points.
I know case studies are important, but it would be nice to see more statisical evidence of the impact of bad IP policy in addition to anecdotal.
The sun is a large celestial fusion-driven orb found on a westward trajectory by day. No need to concern yourself with it since as a software geek you will never see it. The low activity will be good for you since it won't interfer with your electronic devices. Cheers.
Borrowing your keyboard. Furthermore, Microsoft said, the physical resistance offered by the human body could be used to create a virtual keyboard on a patch of skin.
This conference marks the 20th anniversary of 2600 Magazine and the 10th anniversary of the first HOPE conference. You can visit our official conference website here.
How is it the 10th anniversary, but the "Fifth HOPE"? Was there lag between some of them. I thought HOPE was an annual event. It least it has been since H2K. Anyone?
The decision draws on memos, testimony, U.S. court records and much more. It finds Microsoft can "behave to a very large extent independently of its competitors, its customers and ultimately of consumers."
Dont you mean "The Network." While Running Man scencarios are scary, whats scary is the tempation for totally consolidated systems.
Imagine:
You're watching the game. Your mother-in-law buzzes in. A little picture-in-picture appears. She thinks she's got your full attention, but in reality you're glued to the last play of the game! Brilliant. Hell maybe you've got another 'lindow' open where you're updating your online wager. Evil, but sexy.
And this is why healthy competition is GOOD for consumers (*nudges Bill Gates*).
Fight back!

I say we sentence the people who like/read/send spam to filter through all the email that the filters tosses, just to make sure no legitimate email has been accidentally deleted. Maybe if the know what it's to sift through this crap all day long (like I do when the server filter goes down), they'll get the drift.
That's circular reasoning. The company would be able to keep personnel costs down if all the companies stayed at home because it would be comptetive for here.
It's simple economics, consumer prices would be higher, but the population would be employed and making more money, allowing them to afford the higher costs, and reinvest in stock options.
The free market works on a small scale, but not a global scale.
How can we have happy shareholders who boost stock prices if we don't have a gainfully employed population. We can't invest in if we have nothing to invest with.
We saved the jobs of the people who are employed in San Francisco by hiring people here [in India],' he says. 'I don't know that we would be around as a company if we hadn't done that. What was the right thing to do, morally?
Sounds a lot like justification to me. Whatever helps him sleep at night.
We couldn't save all the jobs, so we saved half.
If companies refused to go off shore, then everyone would be able to survive and we wouldn't lose any jobs.
In the running are such mind-bending ideas as an 11-dimensional universe, universal "constants" (such as the strength of gravity) that vary over space and time and only remain truly fixed in an unseen 5th dimension, infinitesimal vibrating strings as the fundamental constituents of reality, and a fabric of space and time that's not smooth and continuous, as Einstein believed, but divided into discrete, indivisible chunks of vanishingly small size.
What ever happened to the concept that the simplest explaination is probably the best?
And my point is also the same. I can choose to opt out by drastically changing my behavior, or I can be free of intrusions of my privacy by large corporate entities...
And perhaps if companies didn't spend so much money on marketing products to me (targeted or no), the cost and quality would be such that I'd just end up buying what I like based off my opinion of the product.
I know. Crazy concepts like CHOICE, OPINION, DECISION MAKING, FREE THOUGHT. And I don't know about you, but 90% of the targeted marketing I get doesn't involve coupons, just BS about how cool a product is.
There's tons of other things to do, like ride bikes, play in the yard, swim, participate in organized sports, play games with friends, school, homework, read. Heck, where's the time to watch TV?
Read the post. The maximum amount child experts recommend is 2 hours per day, and I say she rarely watches that. What she does watch is usually PBS and is educational, but if I raise her in a closet, she won't be ready for real life in the great US of A, now will she?
Again, read the post. She's 3 years old leaving out the possiblility of most of what you mention except what she does with us, which is plenty.
As for the "drastically changing your life", it wouldn't be that much, you'd just have to carry more cash than you do now. The extent you wish to follow the rest is your "individual choices and rights". You don't have to give up anything you don't want to, which was my basic point. Heck, you could even hire someone to buy things for you.
As a women, I don't intend to walk around with the $100+ per week I pay for groceries, the $50+ per week I need for necessities, the $25-30 I need for gas, the $100+ per week for the unexpected, and the unmentionable amount of money that it takes to keep me clothed and groomed for my professional lifestyle. And with those expenses, student loans, mortgage bills, utiltities, childcare expenses, saving for her college, saving for retirement, and our other monthy living expenses, I don't think I'll be hiring someone to be my personal shopper.
Grow up, pull your head out of the Hollywood fantasy, and then explain to me in a deductive, rational, and well-thought out reason as to why companies should be allowed to collect PRIVATE information about me and my family and why, in America, I should have to add minutes or hours to my already hectic daily routine to carry cash to avoid it.

...users complaining that MS adds too much to their OS, they're listening? Bull!!!

Imagine it with passengers...."This is your pilot software speaking, please assume the appropriate position for a reboot."

They just doubled my connection speed. For free.
That's just evil. Count me out.
Sounds kinda like beer googles, only pricier.
I bet Gates started the rumor that it was just a marketing ploy to make his critics look petty!
That's from the 2600 website.

They manage to allow us to consolidate those, along with the idea of the single multimedia device, then I'm happy. Very.
