How are these products paid for? Cant we create a set of "tagged" identities that when they try to get money using the card or check, they get identified by their bank to the authorities and their accounts frozen?
Enforcement (feds or state) could just merrily issue purchases for the products and the banks would freeze the spammers accounts.
Pre-installing linux on a machine give them a reason not to steal windows. Because the machine is already working and has applications that can do the job.
It is the closed mentality practices which cause them to want to steal. Web sites that work ONLY with IE or documents that can ONLY be read with Office are causing them to install Windows illegally. This is the problem that needs to be fixed.
As a series of apparently unrelated "security updates" causes their application to become increasingly unstable and unattractive. Until finally the users,who just want to listen to their music, fold and give their souls to MS. Again.
And the users will end up being mad at Apple for putting their songs in a format that their great winblows media system cannot support anymore.
If port25 is being blocked and you dont want users to change their outgoing smtp servers all the time, what is the best way to have reliable email on laptops.
Is VPN the only way to make mail reliable and consistent on laptops?
They should fix the CRAPPY radio stations in the US. I can spin the dial and not hear a single note most of the time. Its all sheepdip: 30seconds of low quality samples glued together or some pointless self promotion "oh how I love your station" break.
And its all cowbells, explosions or other earsplitting audio assaults. Here is a hint: Have them play LOTS of music, a few NON INTRUSIVE ads that dont hurt my ears, and some more music.
Let the DJ talk ONLY if there is a national emergency and we need to go to the shelters. And not through a stupid stupid reverb box like all of them do. ALL of them! ITs the same guy!
"THIS IS STATION WXYZKPRP GIVING YOU THE BEST MUSIC ON THE WHOLE PLANET ONLY I AM NOT PLAYING MUSIC ANYMORE BECAUSE I AM TOO STUPID TO OPERATE THESE NEW COMPUTERS AND WHY CANT I HAVE MY VINYL BACK?

We need to concentrate on new sources of energy to power our life on earth and space based efforts. If we build the power generation systems first, then we will not only make our world safer, but a major source of confrontation on this planet will be eliminated.
A glorious movie, very underrated and misunderstood by the critics.
Chris: I was contemplating the immortal words of Socrates who said, "I drank what?".
Chris: Kent, this is ice, this is what happens to water when it gets too cold. This is Kent, this is what happens to people who get too sexually frustrated.
It will still be there in when we are ready to go there. In the meantime, we need to get fusion power into prodution ASAP. The world will be a much safer place when all nations are energy self sufficient.
1. Stop moving admin shit around! 2. If I deinstall windows sharing (for security) I do NOT expect XP to reinstall it for me when adding an adapter. 3. Tell me how I can turn off your moronic services safely ( for security ). I hosed a machine by turning too much off. 4. There should be a single interface to install stuff. There should be warnings that you are doing it. Adware should be impossible to sneak onto a machine. 5. Stop betraying your business partners you evil pricks. Nobody trusts you for good reason. 6. Ship media. We bought it and we should own it. 7. The registry is a frigging nightmare waiting to happen. Its insecure. Its unmanageable. 8. You have no taste. 9. You have no taste. 10. I cant tell what files belong to which package. I cant verify the contents of a package. 11. I want more UI flexibility 12. Stop trying to spy on your customers you evil fucking pricks. 13. Your terminal sucks 14. Inconsistant command line parameter handling 15. Give me a way to transfer files without running your damn insecure filesharing system. ssh. 16. Stop changing interfaces to murder your competition you evil fucking pricks! 17. Make file saves stay under Documents and Settings so I can backup easier. 18. Make c:\ unwriteable by lusers by default. 19. Your NT permissions system is completely incomprehensbile and dangerous. Misuse can force a resinstallation. 20. Dont put a button in an admin panel that takes you to a site to sell more software:
You should delete all your account info on mp3.com so they cannot spam you or use the information in a way that was not allowed under the previous terms of service.
You cannot delete the account, but you can remove your shipping address, and set your email address to something you dont care about.
For anyone that participated in this or similar research. No good can come of this.
And then to publish it! What is a word for dumber than stupid?
Are you trained in the security protocols necessary to defend this technology against acquisition by hostiles? Have you secured your physical plant? Are your computers totally stand-alone?
The Feds should bury you with your research in a Nuclear Waste Dump.
You make me sick. I just hope I am the only person who has to say that.
The patent office cost the companies of this country an enormous amount of money that they had to spend on researching this problem. The patent office was responsible for maintaining the validity of the Patent information. The Patent Office should have to pay the companies that endured an unecessary loss to their business as a result of the poor work done by the Patent Office when it originally issued the Patent.
If the Patent Office had to Pay For Their Mistakes, they might be less likely to make the same mistakes over and over again.
Yeah, I kinda agree with that too. I was a little hard on SUN and my post was a little over the top.
I use StarOffice and should be more gratefull to SUN for their contributions.
It was a silly post, but that whole promise to imdemnify seems a little like they are trying to scare people. Perhaps that protection is necessary. I wish someone could explain it from a neutral position.
I cannot fault SUN for thinking their version of UNIX is good work. They have spent a lot of time on it and it supports a lot of people.
I will try to post less opinionated, more informatively in the future. Thanks for the critique.

This should be modded up.

...to having the last word
Go is perfect. Perhaps your perceptions are flawed.
Debian will be in MY future when I can pop in a CD and install the system WITH THE MOUSE, and have it boot into X with all the hardware recognized.
Until then, its just a pain.
and yes, I AM old school and have configured it all by scratch. Its just not fun anymore.
Very funny, well done!

Excellent. I will research both of those topics. Thank you for responding.

She can act and shes not hard to look at either.

Its hard to imagine how AIX could be further ahead of the rest of 'Nix. I wish I was working with it again. But I will settle for any 'Nix except HP.
