    I suggest and authorize over 2 million dollars a year in purchases, Unix, Linux, NT, and etc. So can you please get a clue.

  4. Microsoft on Oregon's Open Source Bill Stalled by Microsoft · · Score: 1

    This has to get in the main news media. Anyone have ties to CNN?? :) It will be the only way microsoft will have to live up to their lobbying. Lets tell the world what they are doing. Lets demostrate that they are only intrested in preserving their market place and not intrested in what is best for the country or world.

    I tell everyone I meed in the IT field even my VP that is very Pro-Microsoft. You have to educate people.

    Your last sentance I do think you meant "can't" instead of "can". :)

    I agree with your comments I think this country needs campaign finance reform very badly and then maybe we would see people open up a little more. They will be able to hear more then two sides of the story and make a better desicions. I do think the News media is full of BS and doesn't give all the facts but thats another thread. :)

    I can identify with the Libertarian party more then the other two just because I see their motives are so "corporate sided".

    I didn't say 400 did I? Can you say that you agree with one side completely? I never agree with one side I think that a 6 party system could happen but it will never happen because politicians don't want it to happen. Plus this country thinks it can't happen. Like I said we are shallow as a country. Why is it that when some third party comes up and I vote for someone in it I am told that I am waisting my vote. I am told that I should choose the lesser of two evils. Okay let me give you a choice then. Hitler or Stalin. Its not a choice and sometimes there is not a choice in a two party system.

    You know what I find funny is the whole damn country can only identify itself with two parties. That is how shallow we are. It is Pro-Choice or Pro-Life, it is for the poor or for the Rich. It is Pro-Corporate or Pro-People. This country has forgot it roots and I can't wait to see the demise of a once great nation. Politicans are all bought and paid for, Clinton and Bush are for themselves not for you.

    You want to know how those two think. Go play Sim City 3000 and raise or lower taxes. Thats Bill and George all they are doing is playing a game with your life. They don't give two shits about you or any of your feelings towards them.

    Sorry but the truth hurts

    Maybe making it illegal to bounce mail through an open relay would make more since. There are enough laws that can be passed for Spam that are fair. Instead of limiting people lets make what should be illegal, ILLEGAL.

  10. Copyright, they will get theirs on Mexico to Abolish the Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    I hope that their is some killer App or something like the cure to Aids that can be copyrighted (Not patented, I know drugs can't be copyrighted), something really, really important something that will change the whole human race. Then I hope some A$$hole holds the copyright ( Like me :) ) and hold it for ransome just because they can due to the copyright laws.

  13. Re:Neato on Red Hat Announces Enterprise Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well I have a MS "It will just fucking work", NOT. We hired a developer to write a web page for us and he happened to write it in .net. Well now our company has to upgrade to IE 6 to get it to work. So needing a newer version of software for something to "just fucking work" is no different in Linux, MS, Sun, HP.

    Also I had to buy a V480 for work. They don't sell the E450 anymore :) buy any ways I have to run at least Solaris 8 02/02. I was on 8 10/00 well I had to test 02/02 to see if it "just fucking worked"

    You have to do homework up front if you dont then you are just fucked when it doesn't work. But this is not a problem of Linux it is a industry problem its your fucking job to make sure it __will__ work.

  20. Another Idea on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would rather pay the sales tax of the state that the e-tailer is in. Then I can choose if I want taxes to go to my state or to another. If I don't like the current Governer I can shop at buy.com and let my money help their state. Why should a state hand over money when they do not depend on any resources from the state the are giving the money to.
