That's a TREMENDOUS tax rate, the Democrats should get Sony to explain how to get that one through Congress!

When posting a slashback story, it would be really nice if you populated the posts with inital heading posts for each category. That way, all the comments related to one category could all be in one thread instead of all mixed together amongst lame 'first post' attempts.
(This would also preemptively derail all 'first posts' -- a nice side effect!)
Goddamit, that's like the eight "luggage" joke already!
You'd have to be an idiot to lock your luggage, because with today's new airline security restrictions, that would get you a suite at the GWB's Guantuanamo Hilton!
"I guess people must trust those sales guys when they tell them..."
LOL LOL LOL!
If these companies claim that they can do "multi platform" they need to be showing "multi platform". Demonstrating your wares on the dominant OS defeats the whole purpose.
These sales idiots should be fired.
And the guy that hired them.
Then get some sales people who are bright enough to be trained up on *nix.
PGP (for windows or mac, ie not GPG) has two commands related to this: wipe file and wipe free space. They overwrite the appropriate sectors of the disk with several patterns designed to ensure that no matter what (common) encoding scheme the hard disk uses, every bit will have been set at least once, zeroed at least once, and overwritten with pseudorandom data at least once. If you set in on a lot of passes, it does an even better job. This would be a cheap (free, except for time and bandwidth to download it) way to make sure your sensitive data doesn't get out.
That said, experts would tell you that the only reliable way to make sure sensitive data doesn't get out is to thermite your drive.
Also, what's the one-line unix command (running MacOS X here).
Maybe if we weren't stuck with a (only) two party system.
Maybe if everything in the world didn't have a goddamned pricetag on it.
There's so much money sloshing around that it perverts everything it touches. And all too little of it in the hands of the average person. Just look how advertising money has destroyed the potential of Television. And US elections. And the NFL. And major league baseball. Hell, any sports shown on TV.
Choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.
If the system actually worked the way we were told in civics class the way that it should work, a nobody with good ideas could get elected. Instead, we have somebody with no ideas and a dream team of advisors backed by big money running the show.

JV understands, like GWB, that if you repeat a lie often enough, the sheep eventually swallow it.
That was THIRTY YEARS ago, get over it already!

Dirty heathens.
Yay Capitalism! The market decides! The good drives out the bad! Ayn Rand is my copilot!
Wouldn't that be Nexialism?
I think the poster was referring to New York (city ?)'s crackdown on "quality of life" crimes instituted by Rudy Guiliani (sp?).
Just one channel of 'reality' programming should be enough to drive the AI insane!

What you SHOULD be doing is running back to the original story to harvest the +5, insightful comments to whore yourself some karma with!
(Is this recent God-awful response time in the comments.pl another misguied anti-troll attempt?!!)
And yeah, I'm posting this logged in!
You mean the one where society collapses due to the exploding market for cybernetic sex toys?
And it's all YOUR fault!
