Your right, but they are not open source ether.
The idea of the artical is to get political leaders to sway some influence into the area of open source. This isn't (can't be) so much about "F MS", as it is about "free, forever, quality, Open Source".
I'm sorry to expose my ignorance about this but if is standard practive for them to delay payment until the 17th on a bill that is due on the 16th, or they delay until they get a notice saying "you service will be cut off on...", and then pay only what it takes to stay in the game?
I heard (read) somewhere that this was all caused by customers not paying the bills. It's my understanding that it wasn't corperate greed or loose spending that delt the blow, but the fact that customers just wouldn't pay. Is this really the case?
Also, Who would want these customers now? They have a proven track record of not paying!
The reason for the these games is learning. The alternative is casual play. If the child gets the Idea "I'll break all of my CD's, then I don't have to work on the computer anymore..." then the only alternative is some brain dead Hasbro game (or worse, she would want to use my PS2)
I don't mean to brag (much) but my daughter already has the good looks that skipped her mom and my generation. (Sweetie, if you read this... I didn't mean it that way) I want my daughter to assist in developing a Linux kernel, or at the very least appreciate when the overthrow of MS happens. I want her to enjoy writing code, playing games, and take pride in her EIEE7E HAX0R-ism. Parenting is all about enabling a child to be self-sufficient. My goal is to teach my daughter to love her computer, and the more she plays with it, the more advanced topics I can get her understand. I don't want to curb her appetite to "break things"... I want to encourage it. That's want turns a good developer into great one. I want her to feel free to scratch the surface off of the CD to see what is on the other side. I will teach her to respect the rights of others (maybe), and I'll teach her that it costs money to replace things that break, and I'll teach her that daddy will not always pay for these things, but until she turns 5, I'm not going to teacher her to respect her CD's. Screw that! I'll make copies of them, or use the daemon-tools mentioned earlier to keep them safe for her.

Because if you turn down an offer from Company A, because you take the counter from Company B, rest assured that Company A will soon have that spot filled and you have to start to the whole job search over. Your worth in the marketplace is relative to the company and not to you. This is best expressed like this Relative != Reality. You may still believe that most employers care about your achievements. You may think that they look at 10 years of loyal service as a plus. If you have been a pioneer in your field for ages, the company will respect that and make you offers that reflect your advances, right? NO! Trust me when I say that you will know what the rest of us know soon enough. A company will try to lowball (screw) you. And you are your only defense against it.
That would be a great FPS... I can see the title of the game now "Quake XXIII- Finding a Job in New York".
Agree, but this isn't the only thing to look at. The people next door have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". Also, As seen in recent Texas law findings, any "image capture device" attached to a structure (even inside you own home) needs to have a strong legal backing. Juries all over the US are convicting people for using a camera voyeuristically. It would not be that hard for the neighbor claim the camera was being used to capture them for "sexual purposes". In Texas all they would have to do, is 1) Identify the area that is exposed to the camera. 2) Walk into view of the camera. 3) Expose undergarments (make it look unintentional, yet non-random) 4) The other person in the house captures the image from the web site. 5) Call a lawyer.
None of this is fun and games. If the law upholds his right to have the camera, then who is to say that government "weather" cameras can't be trained in on someone's house, "coincidentally".
I am in favor of the right to point and shoot any thing I want, but let's think of the ramifications that a judgment in this area might have.

I have had to deal with AT&T Broadband in Plano Texas for 2 years now. Twice they have done this bait and switch on me, and this time I figured it out.
When I first moved here, I got the cable modem, and when I hooked my TV up to the outlet... it worked. I have extended basic channels. About a month after they put in my cable modem, a door-to-door guy came and offered a 30-day trial of the premium basic (as many channels as you can get without going digital). We tried the cable for about 20 days, and then I called them to cut it off (cause I'm a cheep ass). They can't and turned it ALL off. It took to weeks to get my cable modem back on, but they never turned back on the basic cable. I called to argue with them, because I thought that basic cable was included. They said that it wasn't included with the modem, and that I was lucky they didn't seek for me to pay them for the months that I was "stealing" cable.
I ended up paying them to turn basic cable back on (which is what they want).
I ended up moving to another apartment, and to do so I basically had to set up new service. Then again, they put the cable modem in and Boom! I had extended basic again. Like clockwork, a month after they put in the cable modem, they sent a door-to-door guy around to offer extended basic. To test my theory (I knew I wasn't going to be there long anyway) I signed up for the 30-day trial. The rest went as expected. 20 days later I called to have the free trial turned off. Off went the cable modem and the TV. Again I paid to have basic service turned back on.
Once again, I moved to yet another apartment. Once again, the cable modem was installed, and magically, the extended basic was as well. 30 days later, I told the door-to-door day 'No Thanks', and I've had extended cable to this day.
Word to the wise... the cable company wants you to get used to the cable, and then rip you for it later.
Every Silver lining has a cloud, and I am wondering about the amount to time that this material lasts. It's fine for it to be a super light polymer, and have the stringth of Cowboy Neal, but how long will it be before it starts to lose it's stringth? How long before it would crack like Jon Katz?
I would hate to live near a power pole made of this stuff, after it had been up for a couple of years.
before I reply, what is the mood of your post? are you trying to be better-then-thou, and a network security zelot? or are you just trying very poorly to get me to see your point?
Please reply with haist to I know how to respond to this garble.

I assume that when s/he says "Im running Windows XP on the computer that will be dialing up" that means (1)there is another machine that will not be dialing up, and (2) that there will be another machine(s) that need to use the connection.

BTW: I still haven't found a solutions to the problem.

does google even have an mp3 search area? I looked up mp3.google.com, and found nothing.
I like the Image Search better than google's.
There is a scary example of how this plays out in practice

I'm sorry to expose my ignorance about this but if is standard practive for them to delay payment until the 17th on a bill that is due on the 16th, or they delay until they get a notice saying "you service will be cut off on...", and then pay only what it takes to stay in the game?
oh wait!!! the one I was talking about was a reply to your message, but I guess the other reply to my message works out fitting as well.
wait! wait! wait!... are you trying to say that it's not "all about me"?
j/k the other reply to my message explains it mighty fine.
I heard (read) somewhere that this was all caused by customers not paying the bills. It's my understanding that it wasn't corperate greed or loose spending that delt the blow, but the fact that customers just wouldn't pay. Is this really the case?
Also, Who would want these customers now? They have a proven track record of not paying!
Someone please enlighten me on the matter.
