I was criticizing this comment. I meant that programmers wrote MacOS, just like Unix. What makes you think that the same type of people(programmers) have two different styles for different people. You see you make it sound like users wrote the MacOS for themselves and programmers wrote Unix for themselves. Programmers like to write elegant solutions. Unix is just a little bit older than MacOS and was also designed as a solution to different problems. But I think you would get alot of feedback from the people at Gnome or KDE about programmers writing for programmers.
I stopped watching X-Files after they moved from friday to sunday. The show back then was great. There was just one thing missing... ANSWERS.
I went on suspension of disbelief for 3 years. (I'm one of those people that actually remember old episodes.) The creator of X-Files seems to think that people will swallow this stuff till a movie comes out in 2001 to explain it all.
I need resolution of threads throughout the run of the show. Keep giving a piece of the puzzle at a time. Then keep moving the bar higher and higher. Chris Carter couldn't even keep his own threads straight. Carter should learn from JMS of B5 fame.
I think your wrong (whoever you are AC) Look at the Microsoft / Intel specs for PC 2000. Guess what? NO FLOPPY DRIVE! I guess everyone is stupid but you.
Did he say he Back-Orificed Bunim-Murray Productions? Wasn't BO released August 98? The show aired around that time or earlier. The filming must have been at least 4 months before that. Auditions must have been for about 6 months?
BULLSH*T
e quickly discovered a significant security flaw in the Bunim/Murray network -- namely, that it had no security. The company was running various incarnations of Windows, which, according to Abe, contained gaping holes. Abe doesn't hang out or correspond much with the hacker community -- "I'm not a typical hacker!" he insists -- but he does read "bug reports," in which hackers list the flaws they've discovered in software programs and operating systems. Drawing on that information and several hours of trial and error, Abe found a point of entry. Then he made a quick stop at Cult of the Dead Cow, an active hacker site, where he downloaded a copy of Back Orifice, a "remote control" program that allows someone like Abe to operate a Windows 95 machine from any location via the Internet.

Did they trigger the bomb! YES Are they at fault. NO of course not.
So those silly people who use MS software might one day lose a hard drives worth of data. They would be to blame for losing the data. That doesn't make this guy any less guilty.
BTW.. Should Microsoft be called in this case to answer for their shoddily built OS, Office Software, and mail client? YES

Oh you mean like taking stuff from free software programmers and bundling it up as your own? Doh!
I bought the cheapbytes Mandrake just because KDE and Gnome was on it. Also because it didn't cost 78 bucks. (let the newbies buy that!) I thought it was great, but of course Mandrake doesn't own it. From their website...
Currently Mandrake is the only, or has been the first main Linux distribution to have the most advanced internationalization support...
I bet that Iraq is a nice country with nice people . Unfortunately Sadam keeps trying to kill everyone around him! So what are we to do? Ask him to stop?

This is the thing that AOL has going for it. Their customers FEAR learning anything new or different. Try changing some of those AOL buttons around and watch them freak!
AOL should capitalize on the techno-phobia of its users. Don't use that MICROSOFT thing, its different and scary!

I think they'd fare better to spend that money improving the life they've already found.. on Earth.
Yea, Like feeding all of the hungry children. Yea that's a good idea!
Never mind the fact that no matter how good it's been in the US we never... ever had enough to feed all of the children. We might as well wait till we fix all of the problems on earth before going to the moon.

Due to a change in FCC rules, companies can buy more radio stations in the same markets. Chancellor Media on the verge of owning 500 radio stations! Soon all radio will be owned by five companies!

So let me get this straight warmi, They put a gun to your head and said, use the GPL or else!
...its' development by programmers for programmers aren't exactly "user-friendly" in the way the Mac is for the computing neophyte.
and who wrote the MacOS.... elves?
There is also a penalty for referring to yourself in the third person.

They use the seized equipment not just as evidence, but as leverage against the suspect ("we have your stuff, cooperate and you can have it back").
