Microsoft has known about this for 2 years
and just recently released a patch?
They have *serious* management problems.
Marketing is running the show, and the techies
obviously have no input into priorities.
I wonder how any of the techies can really
deal with working in that kind of environment.
Charter Pipeline.
Wasn't that slick marketing where they
raised it $5 for the Bronze package and
said they were increasing your speed?
The problem is that it was only the *upload* speed.
Absolutely no appreciable benefit for a normal user
that runs no servers.
This is absolute bullshit. Instead of
spending valid efforts on prevention
of whatever, they want to be able to
sift through *past history* for alleged
criminal acts to then prosecute said criminals.
Well, when times are slow, and things are quiet,
you will be watched.
See J. Edgar Hoover.
It may be Canada tomorrow, but down the road, the
goal is to remove all of your freedoms in the U.S.
The line will be "that's how it's done elsewhere".
This is all one huge conspiracy for global domination, don't fall for it!
I believe that this can be overcome with IPv6
in combination with a algorithm that converts
latitude, longitude, and altitude into a
valid Ipv6 address.
This Government may find that, faced with opposition, the software vendor threatens to resort to self-help by disabling the vast majority of the nation's computers if its demands, however unreasonable and illegitimate from the Government's perspective, are not met. In short, the vendor threatens to shut down the nation's infrastructure and businesses, grinding the economy to a virtual halt. The Government, not having invested in alternative software systems, would face an indeterminate future in which a large proportion of the nation's workers would simply be idle. Faced with this Hobson's choice, what country could afford to risk non-compliance then? Faced with this threat to its security, what responsible Government will not act now to prevent an unaccountable, foreign, private entity from wielding this terrible weapon over the nation's collective head?
Hey now... Don't knock my company:) That 'tax' is there for your convenience.
Thanks for the laugh.
If he ever gets fed up with that evil free software, he can install Windows on that machine and not worry about licenses. He already bought one! How convenient huh?
Not. Are they going to supply a normal
install CD?
Oh, and writing the name of my company with a dollar sign instead of an 's' is childish. Give it a rest. That's old already.
Agreed. I'm tired, and it's an old habit.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds fishy to me.
Slashdot has been acting wierd all day.
Perhaps that is due to the dynamic banner ads being disabled?
I can only guess how much they paid Verizon to do this.
Getting too weird? Hang in there.
I know you have tolerance.
I'd also add a MEMTEST86 bootable floppy.

That much money, eh?
Is that Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars?
Enquiring minds want to know.
2) you do not recognize a slippery slope when you are on it
Probably depends upon the size.
With Linux CDs in hand I hope.
Get a clue folks in the U.S. !
This *is* big brother watching.

Can someone mod this up, eh?
You're a bad speller.
Seriously, it appears to be related to a womans monthly cycle.
The entire manuscript could relate to reproduction, survival, the seasons, etc.
Could it be the user manual for Stonehenge or one of it's equivalents?

Mod parent up!
Can you say 'Microsoft'? I knew you could.

It would be about $299 without the m$ tax.
The difference is that Dell is not going to open stores. They won't have the rent expense to deal with.
The spammers will think
We must send more spam today
No Haiku will block
Hmmm, the link disappeared.
