    Every patch for MS Office broke groupwise. It was actually the address book that it broke.

    The felt-tips don't work too well for me. I think I write too hard, and ruin the tip

    I will have to try onr of those. I usually use the Pilot V5 which I really like, so I hope this is even better

    I don't think this was actually off topic. I have no idea what "taking have blows" is supposed to mean

    I don't get put through to India though. My friend is an administrator for a mid sized company and he does have to deal with India, but I don't. It might be because we are government, I don't know

    They might have had good tech support, but have you tried calling them lately? They have really cut corners lately. There corporate support is still good, but there consumer report is absolute crap.

    It's funny the same people who complain about how the RIAA shouldn't be fining people are all for fining spammers.

    What evidence do you have that your poor are better of then in the rest of the world? Maybe better off then in the third world, but I would say that the poor in socialist countries, where they have access to healthcare and descent public housing are better off.
    BTW I would rather we both had $100, so that one person didn't have a distinct power advantage over the other.

  15. Re:Get used to it on CIO Magazine On Offshore IT · · Score: 1

    Actually, capitalism does not work. Otherwise the the combined wealth of the top 1% of households wouldn't be worth more then the bottom 95% of households.
    Consider your chances of success if you grow up in Compton vs growin up with every possible advantage. Of course success and failure is possible in both situations, but the odds are much different

    Actually, in some countries the fines are related to how much money you actually make. This makes sense for things like speeding, a $100 ticket to someone who makes a million in a year is not nearly as impactful as it is to someone who make $20,000

    What is a Candian?
    And if you mean Canadians, then yes, they are North Americans, but please don't refer to them as just Americans, since that word almost always means people from the USA

  20. Re:Prices are cheaper, but where are the good band on RIAA Sales Compared to Download Statistics · · Score: 1

    There are some good bands in there. I will admit that I do like the White Stripes, a new band. Also one to check out is Sam Roberts

  21. Prices are cheaper, but where are the good bands on RIAA Sales Compared to Download Statistics · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Riaa has been blaming sluggish sales on people downloading music, but they have been ignoring another reason for the poor sales: The music isn't that good.
    I love alternative music, but lately everything has sounded like Creed, or some crappy form of pop-punk.
    I haven't bought any music lately, but I haven't downloaded any either.
    Once they quit trying to make everyone sound the same, I will probably start buying music again, as long as the price is resonable

    SCO should have paid attention to Godfather 2 when Senator Geary decided to try and put the squeeze on the Corleone family. They might find, as the senator did, that the reaction to the group being squeezed is not what they expected

  25. Re:Am grammar died on The Death of A Universe · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just to drive the point home, I found this at www.dictionary.com: In writing, the form a is used before a word beginning with a consonant sound, regardless of its spelling (a frog, a university). The form an is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound (an orange, an hour).
