Is this going to be the next "640K ought to be enough for anybody" quote?
"It could be the end of the decade" before mainstream desktops need more than 4GB of memory, one of the chief reasons to move to 64-bit chips, Justin Rattner...
It was no better by todays gaming standards. All you needed were a notebook, pencil, some funky multi-sided die, a couple books (DM Guide & Player's Handbook), some friends and a shitload of imagination. Your notebook was a sacred possession.
Think of a "LAN Party" or something without the electronic bulk.
Try pwWebSpeak. From their write up, it sounds like it might be a solution.
" pwWebSpeak is an Internet browser designed for users who wish to access the Internet in a non-visual or combined auditory and visual way. This includes blind or partially sighted users, people with dyslexia or learning difficulties, and users who are learning new languages."
Make them scared of fired employees claiming that being bombarded by hard core spam created a hostile workplace.
14 years away from retirement and the organization I work for going to a total "Microsoft Solution". It's not the "hard core spam" I'll use, it's the "Going Bald?", "E.D." spam that I'll claim caused the stress which I'll use to get a settlement to ease my pre-retirement years.
MCSE's are "end users", too. In fact, anyone who uses any type of software; Word, VB, C(et al),PERL, *NIX, COBOL, HTML,... are all end users of a sort. So, I guess, we're all somebodys "lusers".
"Joan Mann of Old Dominion in Norfolk, has devoted years of study to dysfunctional relations between the Techie and the Clueless, or, in industry jargon, the "IT person" ("information technology") and the "end-user."
First, they have to do away with this little bugaboo:
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. To The Maximum Extent Permitted By Applicable Law, Microsoft and its suppliers provide to you the OS components, and any (IF ANY) support services related to the OS components ("SUPPORT SERVICES") as is and WITH ALL FAULTS; and Microsoft and its suppliers hereby DISCLAIM with respect to the OS components and support services all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied or statutory, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, any (IF ANY) warranties or conditions of or related to : title, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, lack of VIRUSES, accuracy or completeness of responses, results, results, lack of negligence or lack of workman like effort, quiet enjoyment, quiet possession, and correspondence to description. Then entire risk arising out of the use or performance of the Operating System components and any support services remains with you.
That should go a long way to finally improving things.
Sure it does. Anything you want "secured" is a good candidate.
I enclosed secured in quotation marks because nothing is truely secure.
On a more "On Topic' note, I bet the Co-operators insurance company wishes they were using a similasr technology last week as this article exemplifies.
Guelph-based Co-operators Life has warned more than 180,000 customers about possible identity theft after the disappearance of a computer hard drive containing sensitive personal information....
"Vital information such as name, date of birth, social insurance number and mother's maiden name" can be used to access financial accounts, transfer bank balances and apply for loans and credit cards, Co-operators CEO Kathy Bardswick said in the letter this week.
No, I believe the word you are looking for is hypocritical.
duplicitous: Given to or marked by deliberate deceptiveness in behavior or speech.
hypocritical Characterized by hypocrisy: hypocritical praise. Being a hypocrite: a hypocritical rogue.
hypocrite
[Middle English ipocrite, from Old French, from Late Latin hypocrita, from Greek hupocrits, actor, from hupokrnesthai, to play a part, pretend ; see hypocrisy.]
hypocrisy The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness. An act or instance of such falseness.
Plus after someone downloads your movie, edits out the commercials, and sticks it on P2P then you're right back where you started.
This would be true if the average user of P2P knew that the material they download could be edited. Truth is editing would be too much trouble for the average viewer. It's not as satisfying to actually do something about a problem as it is to bitch about it.
Your point is exemplified in the wired.com article from the earlier SlashDot article. After hearing of all the dot bombs that based their business model on internet ad revenues and failed, it interesting to see that it can be profitable if you give the people what they want.
It's also too cool to see the "pirates" show the Corporations how it should be done.
Commenters should familiarize themselves with the Register's recommendation in the first rulemaking, since many of these issues which were unsettled at the start of that rulemaking have been addressed in the final decision.

Apparently, Gary Gygax (credited with creating D&D) is still busy in this genre. Click here. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of detail on the site.

I wanted "Anti-SPAM" action, not "Anti-HAM"!!
Qwerty, Dvorak, what's the diff? Hunt and Peck r00lz!

It's not the "hard core spam" I'll use, it's the "Going Bald?", "E.D." spam that I'll claim caused the stress which I'll use to get a settlement to ease my pre-retirement years.
Thanks for the idea!
Now, THERE's the type of witty repartee I come here for.
It actually took me a moment to spot the difference.
I guess reading Slashdot for a couple years has me imune to speeling earroors.
It should run LINUX, right?
MCSE's are "end users", too.
In fact, anyone who uses any type of software; Word, VB, C(et al),PERL, *NIX, COBOL, HTML,... are all end users of a sort.
So, I guess, we're all somebodys "lusers".
Just thought I'd help with your tags, oh "Guru".

I guess that was due partly to it being written in less than 40 bytes.

Using palladium to treat tobacco,...
Palladium? Damn! That MS initiative is into everything.
Yes.
Someone will write an open source program to do it for them.
Will it do something about the problem or bitch about it for them?
