I remember a friend of mine showing me the winner of this compression contest, it was like an 24kb download and it was 12 minutes of good music and graphics scrolling around the screen. Blew my mind.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Cause I've searched and can't find it anymore.
So the U.S. Government points the fingers at all the corperations and says:
'Because everyone here uses Microsoft and Microsoft can't get their shit straight, we're gonna have everyone here give pay out more money to Microsoft'
Yea but I believe open source has already got Microsoft beat in markets outside the US. How many countries now have passed laws that mandate open source in the governments, to keep things open for everyone? I know Germany has and several others. And why would anyone want to trust the security of MS for their governments, MS and the NSA hold all the RSA keys to MS platforms do they not? Our problem is in our country. Someone here at slashdot said it best that the U.S. is no longer a republic and no longer a democracy, it's a corperate oligarchy. And if we can't stop MS from just adding to it's bottom line we'll be forced to salute the flag that fly over Redmond. (Yea that crappy MS flag screensaver)
I suspect we've had weapons in space for some time. Reagan cut the Star Wars project budget at a time of its exponential growth... why? Probably so that we didn't have to keep public all the vast improvements we were making in the field of lasers.
Why go back to the moon? Because in military conflict higher ground gives you an advantage. Why build a space station when we're already got a natural space station that orbits us already?
And I'll say it untill something else replaces the fact that SuSE is the best all around distribution. From linux newbies looking to switch from windows for the very first time to system administrators needing to drop in a box here or there that they can setup and never think about again.
And if they need to think about it again they can remote administer it through YAST or SuSE's desktop sharing.
Meanwhile sportscasters are predicting the weather. He's a marketing nerd, and of course want's to give his analysis that software prices will always rise. HE SELLS SOFTWARE.
Yes it's legal to sell your products at a loss to get into a market, UNLESS you're a monopoly. From what I read, a monopoly cannot take steps to use their monopoloy to infect other markets, even if they use methods that are legal for other companies.
They could give away their consoles for 2 years untill no one bought sony or nintendo anymore. They would be out what, 5% of their bank account?
I'm just ranting, think it's sad that they're allowed to get away with this. Sick em Sony! You've got my Mony!
Get some balls, get a username then reply to me loser.
As to the first Anonymous..
I know many companies do this, but Microsoft is a Monopoly. Proven in court (like that means a lot) and Monopolies CAN NOT play by the same rules the rest play at. At least that's what our government should be protecting us from.
Now someone else may have posted about this and I may be redundant, but it just ERKS me like nothing else that Microsoft can get away with this.
Being a monopoly Microsoft cannot use their weight and power from one market to force their way into another market. This especially involves selling products at a loss. Even though it's common to sell a console at a loss and hopefully make up for it on game sells - MICROSOFT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO
They're a justified monopoloy by two (terrible) justice systems. They should not be allowed to play by the same rules as everyone else.
I run minimilistic window manager quite often. (YES THAT'S A CHOICE)
But when i click to get my menu, I don't have a choice, its 'New' for another console.
After making a point to stay home tonight to watch this I can say it's well worth it. I missed the first 10 chapters but am going to try and catch the rest.
Ever since the dawn of conflict it hasn't been how many men you put on the battlefield as much as what's in their hand as they go out. Be it the advent of stronger alloys to make better swords, or to have the robots do the more dangerous scouting missions.
This will only escalate exponentially untill perhaps man withdrawels his fragile body from war altogether?

Yea! Mod parent up, we need to get a class action lawsuit against these people for destruction of private property.

Hahaha Yes!

I'll bet you Microsofts bank account that MS will start an ad campaign about how All American MS windows is and how RED HERRING linux is.
Perhaps because if some new world order doesn't come we'll all be forced into slavery.

It's in the US interest to stop having their population fucked over by money hungry corperations and the governments they control.
Sorry

By obviously not reading the article first ...
So he just walked over and installed it on her PC. She should've had xlock running while she was away.
I'll probably try to buy a manufactored PC for the first time in 10 years simply to support the principle of having a choice.
Wouldn't microsoft be using their weight in the desktop markey to destroy compitition in other markets they have their greedy fingers in?

The browser market
