how this can happen? My friend registered a domain name a couple of years ago in his name, but used my address. I wanted to change all the information to my name but could not (Network Solutions is NOT very friendly, even though the hosting company offered to verify that I paid the bills for the registered name). Doesn't Network Solutions have some kind of protective service, that does not let others change the site's address? I remember that I had to email all this information to them, and a week later they emailed me back to confirm that it was indeed me...yadayaada.
If this proves to be true, and you have proof that you have actually registered the site, why not try to get ICANN to change the ruling?
Dude. "scalable?" The card extended into the tape bay! That is extreme overkill. What now are hardware manufacturers going to start selling their own cases with the card?
I can see it now:

Hmm. That's a shame. I've come to trust O'Reilly as being very informative...the only book that they made that I DID NOT like at ALL, was their Curses library one. Boy did that NOT have any relevant information in it.
True, but what I guess what I was getting at was that we need plastic for everyday items such as bottles, parts, etc..so the industry will create it. Instead of throwing all of that out into landfills, we could put it back to good use again. I would imagine that if (if being the key word here) this would be a seamless cycle, the dependence on oil would decrease as we could just reuse all the plastics. Consider the lifecycle of the products...milk jugs are used within a month and then thrown out again. Tv's, granted would take longer to reach the end of their lives, but eventually they would return to the manufacturors.
Alternatives (as the poster below my first message mentioned) such as creating plastics from other sources could also be used.
Hmmm...I was wondering the same thing. Since plastic is EVERYWHERE right now, it would be kinda cool to see them start using recyclables. Talk about a green product! Would be cool to think that my 2L soda bottle would eventually become a TV. Materials would be cheaper because there is so much plastic out there right now.
Preach on Reverend!
This is an absolutely RIDICULOUS idea! I think M$ is just shooting themselves and the ENTIRE e-book industry in the foot. First of all, I personally find it difficult to read a full book online as it is (Stephen King's "The Plant"), but paying MORE than a paperback is silly! This is just going to turn more people off and eventually label ebooks as just "another one of those Internet fads". Most non-expert users who are not aware of this fact are going to be extremely annoyed when their book that they payed MORE for than the paperback, suddenly disappears. IMHO, go to a bookstore pick up a paperback. Its portable, flexible, and ways less than 10 pounds (maybe not the "Complete Works of Shakespeare").
Does anybody see this as being a bit silly/messy? I mean I already have about 20 things plugged into a wall socket, why do I need to add another thing?
The size of the card would also be my issue. That sucker is HUGE!!! That sucker goes from one side of the case to the other! No mo room! I wouldn't be suprised if it came with drip trays and was endorsed by George Foreman. Just a LITTLE to big IMHO, but I'm sure some hardcore games will readily saw their cases in have and install an Airconditioner for it.
Cool, thanks for the insight!
AHAHA! "Sparked by a pig????" HAHA! Damn you! Now I'm definetly going to have to look that one up! Reminds me of that Simpson's episode with Smither's and his assistant are in their office and he says he'd cut a check for a $1mill to some charity if "pigs flew". HAHAH..
HAHA.. Slashdot=History Channel. Thanks for the info. I know this a moot point, but isn't firing on a Fort (even though reclaiming "their" property) basically declaring a war? I mean what were they thinking would happen? *recalls scene from Monty Python..."I FART in your general direction"*!
I like your points, but to nitpick there actually was a "Old Deluder Satan Act". There were the poll taxes so that poor people in the south (mainly African Americans) could not vote. Also, slaves were forbidden to learn to read and anyone caught teaching them could possibly be hanged. Source: National History Museum exhibit(2nd floor I believe).
By God, you still are cloaked in darkness. What about the Industrial age in the North? Coal mine towns own COMPLETELY by owned by Companies! Unsafe labor conditions? Nope, you could never blow the whistle for fear of losing your lively hood. Ever heard of the expression "Sold his soul for the company store?". I am NOT saying that these conditions are present today in these same terms. I am merely pointing out that these ideals of greed and power are constantly inherent within our society. You are right...it does take a "nudge" to get them away, but refusing to acknowledge their existence today IS the same as ignorance. Coverups and news spinmaking is still very much alive and well. See HERE if you cannot believe it.
Actually that's not entirely true. The confederates, if you recall actually fired the first shots of the war. The Union did not, at that time, have any massive organized troops. Their defeat in Charleston, kinda kicked them in the butt a little bit.
Um: "they
wanted to stay in power making the good money off their stupid cotton business (which was propped up
via an invention by a *notherner* named Eli Wittney and the north was propped up by an invention from
a southerner)."
That is what happened. What other economic controls do you mean, PrimalChrome? The collective south just did not like the whole idea of taxes to begin with. Their stance of the north was: "we don't like taxes + they appear not to like our way of life and are against us ==lets go to war". I know my former history professor would shun me on this simplistic example but it illustrates the point.
You assume "people finally figured out that they were getting hurt.". If they are stripped of ways to figure out, then eventually they cannot.
I PERSONALLY believe that it was harsh to label me as ignorant. I was stating a view and providing examples to support my belief. You stated that "Their only means of recreation, life,
social gatherings, common grounds, etc were through churches". Pfew! You mean like the only source of income in a modern day society is by a corporation? Or objects that better our lives...from a corporation?
As with the techinical knowledge? Where is technical knowledge of use today in modern society?
My friend, people *are* ignorant. Look at race relations in the US. Look at how long it has taken African-Americans to break free of old constraints and stagnant beliefs continually festered by corporations who yielded tons of money at their slave expense. All these beliefs STILL fester in modern society and ANY US History teacher will decry account after account, of why corporations lobbyied their state representatives to lawfully deny reading and education for the masses would rise up and destabalize the state. This system of ignorance and spinmaking is found continuosly over and over throughout the history of the world. I don't care if you don't "like" me. Please, I just ask that respect my opinion.
is where does this leave the Government/ stable society? I have not read the book but am curious about the idea of these "Big Brother" cognitive elite? Methinks maybe these authors have read "Brave New World" one to many times. Then again like "Brave New World" the corporations are spreading disinformation and control to the public so maybe it isn't too far off. Mmmmmmmmmm...Soma.
Paulydavis, Corporations already do rule us. They are what religion was to the medival societies, but spinning their own disinformation to the public in hopes they might make a quick buck. What's really scary is that the government is like the kings and queens of the past, protecting the corps., for the sake of stability. Ignorance==Stability?
I am too. The reason why I tried it out was to see what all the hype was about and *gasp* it was...free (beer..mmmmm). I think curiosity is a big factor in turning people over to the Linux Side, but I think more hype NEEDS to be generated for Win98 users. It is important that J. Random Newbie be drawn over to Linux exactly because it can do what winbloze can do...but *keyword* better (faster...insert Linux vs. Win descriptor here). Plus you can write your own apps/programs/etc without the need of silly proprietary compilers and script debuggers. I think the "Ferrari" right now is sort of like an erector set right now. Once people realize the absolute relentless potentential of this kit, to become a Ferrari, it will take off. Documentation however must continue to improve and some Howto's need to be cleaned up IMO, because right now some of them read like ancient Armaic(sp?) Stereo Instructions.
Very good point. It would be cool if you could file with your local court system ONLINE and have the judge email the company and impose a fine for harrassment if that company cannot provide just cause.
I think in the long run, if more power were beheld by the people and used this way, then the companies would certainly rethink their "threat" policies and use them only when they are certain that their product is being abused/pirated.

Wonder how many feet Amazon has? (I'm one of the lil piggies that will never shop there again).
why it was placed in the "Features" section. If you don't like him, just block him in your personalization page. Pretty simple really.
