I remember a Far Side wherein a fighter jet had just shot a missile at the M$ building, but it shot up when it neared the building. The caption reads "Who makes our missile guidance systems anyway?"
There is a criminal case against him, but he's in Mexico, which isn't extremely friendly with the US. If the US has an extradition treaty with them, they're honoring it the same way the US is honoring NAFTA with regards to Mexico.
That's just silly - there's nothing differentiating the truly exceptional from those who could either kiss a lot of arse or slough through it and do all the extra credit.
It's even worse at my school--we don't have any weighted grades at all (well, now we do, after I leave).
Yes, but there are times when one minute (possibly the time it takes to find a payphone) longer before the patient reaches the hospital can mean life or death. Granted, most of these times are in the movies, but I'm sure there are some in real life. Also, I would try my cellphone first. When it didn't work, I'd try again, then curse it and run for a payphone. This could take more than a minute.
And if this was available to hospitals, libraries, theaters, etc., what would keep it from being available to me so I could disconnect people who drove by my house while on a cellphone?
The idea of a maximum wage isn't that good. If a very well-to-do broker makes 25 million a year, and the maximum wage is 1 million, this broker is no longer stimulating the economy after January 14--there's nothing in it for him. BTW, I voted Nader too.
My parents computer connects to the internet via M$N (I'm trying to get them to change), and if they want to use any POP3 email account they have to use Outlook Express to access it. Outlook (98 at least) will not work. You cannot access email from another program, which everybody else allows, and you must send all your email through them, rather than through a university account or other. They said their changes were "industry standards", so I (in separate emails) asked them which other ISPs required you to send all email through their SMTP program, which other email programs required the use of "Secure Password Authentication" (probably trademarked by M$ so that nobody else can), which other ISPs required you to use Outlook Express, and why M$ was specifically forbidding the use of a program I bought from them for email access (Outlook). I did not get a response to any of these, despite the fact that I submitted them in various different ways multiple times.

I think I'd go for a plain fax machine and join this lawsuit when I get fax spam.

That site reminds me of the person who calls in to Chatterbox in GTAIII.

Ok, now I know there is a difference. I never noticed the lack of USB support because the only computers I've run 95 & 98 on didn't have USB ports.
He's probably working for the government.

Not completely--they just cut their popups in half.
And it made us believe diamonds are rare--so we horde them, and make them rare.
Oh, this is just a ploy to make themselves look good in their antitrust case.
Cool. I may even try that program for myself.

Better than waiting on hold for multiple hours with M$ to figure out how to get the landing gear down.
Yes, I want to buy an xbox just to find the security flaw, exploit it, and laugh, but I'm just a poor college student.
I just hope that we can figure out how to revive heads by 3000 so we can live the future as Futurama predicts.
