I agree..no one seems to have bothered to look at the price differences. I am sure the Cable Companies are well aware and chaarge the difference in prices because of this.. (as you already stated):)
Cynical? No..it just bugs me when our government flaunts internally that they want to grab a buttload of cash so they can translate 2 languages simultaneously....
They act like kids in a free candy store.. bring on the cash! gimmie! gimmie! gimmie! no wonder hammers cost the army $550.oo and toilet seat go for $300.oo...no accountability on the cost of these 'important' projects..
They arrested 6 people already huh? Only took them several years.. Now who is going to testify as a victim?/ LOL! I'd hate to be the one who admits I fell for the poorly conceived and executed scam..
Guns are NOT designed to kill. Your side is the side full of idiots claiming this to be true. Guns are CAPABLE of killing, but not designed to kill. That's why they make single shot TARGET PISTOLS. My guns, and I own several, have not, nor will they ever kill another living entity as long as I own them. I keep them locked in a gun safe, so even if an intruder did break into my house I couldn't get to my guns quickly enough anyhow. But to sumise that guns are designed TO KILL is just as bad as saying Beer is designed to get you hammered.
Jon Katz sure writes a lot when he is on crack.

put the pipe down Jon and back away. You think to much of your own opinions..
pathetic rhetoric from an anti-gun noodlehead. Guns are not used soley to kill people. They are also good for defense, a good way to make someone think twice about breaking into your property. General protection and also used for sport. And by sport I don't mean hunting. Target and skeet shooting come to mind, but there are other non-lethal gun sports. Chances are you never owned a gun in your life and you are liek the other sheeple who believe the filth spewing fromthe leftist agenda...
what about gun owners? They are definitely NOT CRIMINALS and yet they have their prints on file. As for the Gov. trying to get records on everyone, they succeeded many many years ago.. it's called a Social Security Card....
"I am not a number, I am a free man!" 'Muhahahahahahah' -the gov..
Sorry, but if you are over 16 and have been issued a drivers license (at least in California) within the past few years the DMV will have your fingerprint on file.. Is it criminal to drive? no, just a privledge that is actually a nesessity
Any school that refuses to discuss their 'honor code' -- as stated in the article-- is a school with no honor. I am completely disgusted at that school. Thank god my kids will be going to real universites... a place of learning and teamwork, not a place where fear of speaking to others rules the hallways..
A movie that wastes 2 hours of your life showing how other people waste hundreds of hours of their lives. Seriously though, would someone actually pay to watch this movie? Do you get game hints or tips? What's the attraction?
Well to avoid a virus/worm whatever just use an Antivirus program and keep it updated. Sat. Internet access on a ship is nothing new..you can even update at sea. I don't think ocean going vessels can be any more or any less effected by a virus. I'd be more concerend about the corrosion all teh saltwater could do to the equipment..
According to a network traffic analysis performed by Newsbytes, Netscape is capturing Navigator 6 users' search terms, along with their Internet protocol (IP) address, the date Navigator was installed and a unique identification number.
Now tell me why would they keep this information (IP address) if they were not going to use it? Don't be stupid it's inferred.. why collect data you have no intention of using?
Yeah..but why do they need to keep the IP address and cross reference it with the data they collect? What justifiable reasons are there for doing this? Think deeper, below the surface noise... damn lackey...
And I suppose you spend 2 hours at the car rental counter reading the rental agreement? Same difference.. They put the expectation on the end user then make it a hurculean effort to go through with it.
So who's the fool..the end user who doesn't read it, or the one who spent hours trying to figure out what they are trying to say?
Yes and no. Any intelligent person would realize that they could hide anything they want in the EULA. Sure we as users are supposed to read it, but that's like expecting a customer to completely read a rental agreement for a car. Courts have previously shot down cases against consumers based on the fact that they didn't read the rental agreement. (The customer wins, the case is thrown out) If we were expected to read and understand the whole agreement we would be at the rental counter for 2 days!
There should be a reasonable expectation to privacy and these little notices in the EULA shouldn't be buried 2,000 words deep into it and be written in so much legal babble that it takes someone with a doctorate to decipher what is being stated.
I have 4.7 on my system (don't use it though) and I can't even find the EULA! I just found this in the readme.txt:
IMPORTANT! Before going any further, please
read and accept the terms in the file LICENSE.
But this file is not located anywhere in my/Program Files/netscape directory, I cannot easily find it on netscapes web site , nor is it available under HELP. So it's a bit harder then just 'read the EULA' isn't it?
OK, but what reasonable average end user reads the EULA? I seriously doubt that more then 2% of netscapes users read that agreement. I don't even use Netscape so my gripe is just with the data collection itself. Maybe EULA's should have a crib sheet that users can scan and get this information rather then trying to digest pages of legal babble.
Even better, if data is being collected from the search bar in Netscape it should warn you the first time you try to use it.

OK, Now I have spewed water all over my monitor. LMAO, that was funny!

Is that code for wasting an exhorbinant amount of taqxpayers dollars? That PPT presentation looks like it was done by a 4th grader..LOL! Go US ARMY!
Since I got it for free (legally) can I make copies and pass them out? I never did read the EULA.... but then again who really does?
They arrested 6 people already huh? Only took them several years.. Now who is going to testify as a victim?/ LOL! I'd hate to be the one who admits I fell for the poorly conceived and executed scam..

I couldn't have put this any better. Ok, maybe I could have, but it would have taken me a very long time and the results would be similar.. =]
nothing better than making the helicopter crash!

Can I buy the Gelatine at the Store and use it to falsely pay for my groceries? How convenient! :)
