    How does your site stop people from running pump and dump scams?

    Please answer because your site looks like it could be used to run one hell of a pump and dump.

    And you might want to proof read your site. It has more than a few typos.

    Lack of support from software vendors due to low market share, higher prices for software due to less units shipped, less software to pick from due to less units shipped and higher prices for hardware.

    IOW, it's not how you grow a company and apple needs to grow its market share if they wish to attrack more developers.

    I can tell by the well reasoned response you wrote.

    Please let me know what grade level it was that they told you it was OK to curse at people to prove you are smarter than they are.

    IOW, your response and lack of UID makes you look like a complete and total ass.

    AntiDrug education isn't about teaching people not to use drugs. It's about teaching them not to use UNTAXED drugs.

    Look at how much the state takes in from Sin Taxes and you will see.

    The pledge isn't that long (and they don't have to say it) so if they don't take the energy to think about what it says then whos fault is that?

    And if they don't think about what it says, what good/bad can come from them repeating words they do not know?

  12. Re:Hmmm on Windows XP SP2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't the built in 'system restore' feature of XP (that Microsoft said would solve problems like this) detect this and fix it before it becomes a problem?

    Is it too much to expect a product to do what the company making it says it will do?

    Then explain how come Jobs had do go before APPL investors an announce delays in the G5 iMac and shippment delays for the Dual G5 Macs due to lack of G5's.

    And Apples killing of the clones is one of the reasons I am typing this on a Dual Athlon MP system rather than a PPC based system. Apples cost too much and they do not have a reliable supplier for their newest chip, the G5.

    No, you get her input as to the location she would like the system, then you put it there. And it stays there.

    This moving it around at her least little whim does nothing but let he know that decisions really don't matter and can be changed at any time.

    Allways allowing her to get her way will just turn her into a brat.

    "Since then, the effort has found a new title sponsor, the online casino firm Golden Palace.com, which has pushed the effort forward. In honor of that, the da Vinci Project has been renamed the Golden Palace.com Space Program powered by the da Vinci Project."

    That is about the worst name for a space mission that I have every head.
