Sort of reminds me of the old joke about "if microsoft made cars..."
I appreciate that he did articulate his design considerations for choosing windows, and especially the tips on 'streamlining' the install.
But... as one who only runs MS software on one laptop, as a concession to clients / (backward?) compatibility, i find it hard to accept building what is essentially an embedded solution with a (crappy) desktop OS...
just my.02, i own an MD deck, portable player (that runs all day on one battery), and a portable recorder. i am not sure how popular they are, but i sure like mine... i can dump an mp3 playlist to MD while i do something else (or sleep).
I was ripped off by a half.com seller for the price of a dvd. half.com would not 'investigate' until long after my credit card co. had processed the transaction. then they told me to go fuck myself.
My neighbor had a mechanical flight simulator made with erector set and a model airplane, the plane flew around a central tower, and you could take off and TRY to land on a runway that covered 180 degrees of the circle
David,
I hate to be one to go against the grain of popular opinion that this court case is all about a threat to personal freedom to use the internet and computers.
The fact is, the computers and internet bandwidth belong(ed) to the State of Georgia. There are a lot of employers who have specific written policies about the use of their computers and internet service for employees personal business or fun.
If Georgia has such a policy in place, then David broke the rules.
Granted, $.59/minute is probably well over the top; and i was once a heavy RC5 user myself. But the fact remains that David may well have violated your employers rules regarding acceptable use of their property.
I would:
* Check to see what policies may have been published at the time of the violation(s).
* Try to make the best deal with them possible if he was, in fact 'out of bounds'
aloha,
