The pentagon does not pay $600 dollars for a toilet seat they never have and never will. What you see on those budget sheets was a quick and dirty accounting trick to hide where the funding for various black ops went.
I probably get 3 to 4 calls daily from people running in the local primary, I rarely answer the phone because I have talked to them all already and yet they keep calling me. I have told them all I am an independant and I don't vote in primarys, hell it's there party they should decide who is going to run. I'll vote in the actual election but I insist on deciding on my own who I will vote for.

When first started in 1935 Congress made a promise the american people that your SSN # whould not be used as a national id number, in fact up until 1971 there was "For Social Security Purposes Not for Identification" in bold letters printed on the cards. In 1971 they redesigned the cards and removed that message, since that time your SSN# has been made into your financial identification number. This is a system that was never designed with much security as it was only ever meant to track your SSN contributions.
You wouldn't have to force microsoft to default IE to google, you could require them to leave it blank, or allow distributors to change it (which they do anyway) So you would say Microsoft to be forced to leave it blank and give people the idea that this functionality is broken, or allow distributers to change it (which they do so I think the point is moot). I think this is the most ridiculous argument I mean who the hell cares what the default is, it's EASY to change. I think that right there absolves them of any "unfair advantage". THey have and most likely are doing far worse things, in my mind this is a non-issue.
Oh please I don't like Rumsfeld anymore then you but the man has done everything he could do short of getting rid of his shares to have no say in the governments response to the bird flu. For once he has done the right thing. Now I have a hard time believing this is going to be the flu that bites us in the ass, It's going to be the one were not focusing on that gets us. It's like Natures going "Hey look over here, OoooOOooo bird flu" then wham some virulent form of pig flu is gonna smack us down.
How is MS moving into a new area, MSN is a service they have provided for years. Go install windows 2000, open IE and what page do you go to. This is not new, they use MSN as their default, so what. Mac's default to Apple.com. What should MS do? Have their toolbar default to their competitor, now that's an outrageous demand.
hus MS has gained an unfair advantage by leveraging their monopoly. That is illegal.
Actually no, on this point, you could argue that MS has gained and advantage, but it is by no means an unfair advantage, and I think you would be hard pressed to argue in court that their actions in this instance are illegal.
Just because a monopoly gains an advantage does not mean that they have done something wrong. And this tenuous argument that MS maintains monopoly status is harder to argue each passing year. Their ability to control the desktop, and thus the way we see the internet is no longer truly valid in my eyes. As the next generation, the first generation to grow up with computers readily available, grows and becomes a serious market force we will see the erosion of MS's ability to weild their monopoly powers. That is not to say they still won't be as wealthy or powerful just that people will understand what their choices are.
If he's developing this is as something he wants, and preferably is working on for other clients, then he should be licensing this to his customer then he sholud maintan the copyright but expect to support this for the forseeable future. If he is designing software to their specification and for thier exclusive needs then to hand off the code with minimal support but plenty of documentation, then hell it's their problem and take your money and move on. Honestly the second will probably be the most profitable
In short no, AOL is not anything like a common carrier, they provide a private network that has connections to the internet. AOL is even less of a Common Carrier then your typical ISP, which is also *NOT* considered a common carrier. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Yay then we can see awesome sites like rivers catching fire and rain eating through the paint on our brand spanking new hummers.
I'd call ndiswrapper a hack.
I vote for this as one of the dumbest questions ever, replace them when they die, before is a waste of money.
I still run 2K as there are no games that require XP.
Actually yes there are. Several in fact.
AOE III and Company of Heroes to name 2.

Well if you compare the prices on price watch and the prices in the article you'll see that they are all x2's, or he way over paid for single cores.
Wait, you helped found Gentoo and now you've switched to OS X, I think that says more about Gentoo then anything else.
I expect to see a huge migration back to Windows 2000 if they actually start shutting down copies of XP.
Yes but then my secretly stashed pile of bricks will be worth MILLIONS.

Yes because Wikipedia is always 100% accurate. Try here, BTW the AC was right, Microsoft worked with Aldus on the development of Tiff.
sweet, another way that I'm not the average slashdotter.

sorry had to comment on your sig...
You disagree with everything I just said, but I will defend to the death my right to say it

Actually the introduction of activex was innovative unfortunately it was implemented in a braindead manner
Pcanywhere, isn't really a multiuser environment, It it really just shares the console so it really doesn't work as a multiuser system.
Wait it did say that it was a porn chat site. DUH
