But it's not necessarily because I think you're to poor. It's because I think you won't help make the profit I want. OK, the two are usually related, but not necessarily so. Think of the article, someone who spends 2000 US$ in one store/chain is not poor, it's just that the store considers her a poor customer.
"The customer is always right." Because you can't do business without customers.
True. But, I can chose the customers I "allow" to allways be right. I make that choice based on what makes _ME_ the most money. Is it fair that I am a jerk to some poor slob who can barely afford to shop in my store once a year and do some serious ass kissing to the customer who drops US$ 5000 a month? Definitely not; but, I am not in the business to be fair, I am in the business to make money.
Yes tides change, and today's bum can be tomorrow's rich slob... well, I can accept that risk, as I said life is not fair.
Having said that, when _I_ actually had a business I, perhaps foolishly, treated everyone like they were the crown prince. I really ran that business just for fun though, and, could not have cared less if I made US$ 1 or US$ 1000 profit on any given day. As long as I covered all my expenses I was OK. Ahh youth...

I was 100% with you till almost the end. Come on, I mean, everybody knows that Santa is real. My father, for example, wold not lie to me. Well, im my 4o+ years I have never heard a sillier allegation. No Santa? NO SANTA??? Some people...
I understand your point, but it's not really a perfect example. It WOULD be a perfect example if somebody SERIOUSLY believed that the Redskins game outcome meant that Kerry was going to win.
Err... you are not American, are you? Well, at least not part of the "Billy Bob Sixpack" segment... (Append:-),:-| or:-( depending on your view of the world.)
While I understand what you are trying to say I disagree with the " if I wanted to learn how to write secure code, I think I could find someone better than MS to learn from" statement.
Don't do!= Don't know how to do.
I am not security guy at MS, but I happen to know a bunch of them. They are, for the most part, VERY good at what they do. However, for better or for worse, there are other factors that dictate a certain course of action. Say, for example, brain dead upper management.
That's just it though, in the UK an Spain and what-have-you this is old hat; they are now used to it. For the US it's a new thing. Have you seen how a kid reacts to a new toy, even if he has a bunch of other, perhaps better, toys. With any luck this too it's going to pass.
If the companies got hit and hurt it'd be embarrasing; but, soon enough people would say, "Well, it can't be helped. Nobody is perfect...etc" Now, if you make a big deal out of "warning" the companies, and then hit and hurt them... that's WAY more embarrasing. No?
I would guess you don't live in Japan. As such, I'dventure to say that this product is not aimed at you. By the time this makes to the US market, if ever, it will have whatever Sharp US thinks would make them the most $$ there.
Find someone who lives in Japan. Send them the machine. They get it fixed and send it back to you. Problem solved. I did that several times for people in similar situations; but, I am about to leave Japan, so I can't offer to help you.
First of all, the original reply reladed to the server room. But, anyway, as I see it, this is a boot from USB issue not a USB usage issue. In other words, no problem. 1. Password protect BIOS 2. Disable legacy USB support. (Unless, of course, you have some funky BIOS that if you did this it would make it impossible to use a USB keyboard to enter the BIOS _and_ the MB has no PS/2 port(s). 3. Set boot device to HD0 and ONLY HD0. 4. Once the OS is up and running, use group policies to limit what people can and can't do.
Unless the linux bit is not taking and space from the "general" storage area this is borderline interesting, but, hardly news.
I have one of these (http://www.milestone-net.co.jp/products/groovox_s p/index.html) and have done the same thing; although with a different, bigger, distribution. Not a big problem as I only use the MP3 playing part when I am on the threadmill, so the 50 MB loss is not a big deal. Wish it were USB2, but other than that I am happy. Best 8.000 yen I spent in a while.
Err... how is this any different from any USB memory stick? Any admin worth hir/her salary would have the BIOS password protected and no USB support set.
Wouldn't getting a bicycle be a better option? If you are TOTALLY out of shape get one of the ones that have some power assist (for example http://store.nycewheels.com/honstepcomel.html), and use the assist as necessary. Unless you have a real physical debility I think you'd find yourself getting off the power assist bike to a regular bike in no time flat.
Not meaning to be critical... chacun à son goût, and all that.

As found somewhere on the net:
1.) If God exists, then he is immutable. 2.) If God exists, then he is the creator of the universe. 3.) An immutable being cannot at one time have an intention and then at a later time not have that intention. 4.) For any being to create anything, prior to the creation he must have had the intention to create it, but at a later time, after the creation, no longer have the intention to create it. 5.) Thus, it is impossible for an immutable being to have created anything (from 3 and 4). 6.) Therefore, it is impossible for God to exist (from 1, 2, and 5)
Or, if you insist:
1.) If the Christian God exists, everything that exists is part of his perfect, divine plan. 2.) Atheists exist. 3.) So, atheists are a part of God's perfect plan. 4.) Therefore, God wants atheists to exist.

Would you expect not to see any GM products in the FORD factory parking lot???
