One positive aspect of Monopolies is that they can spend more on R&D. However what has MS's huge research budget gotten us? Hmmm the paperclip, BOB, the revolutionary new features of XP?
MS has a monopoly due to a government mandate (their patent on windows). We should get geoverntment out of the equation and let the market handle it.
The point of the market is that it maximizes total surplus ( consumer surplus + producer surplus). Unfortunately Microsoft has a government issued monopoly (due to their patent on windows). Their monopoly power raises the price of Windows above the equilibrium price, transfering some of the consumer surplus to Microsoft. Unfortunatly this also creates a Dead Weight Loss that represents value that is simply lost due to Microsofts monopoly power. In short MS govt. privliges are harming the economy.

Researchers found it off of the coast of cuba while looking for sunken treasure. National Geographic plans an expedition. Art Bell covered it fairly well when it happened.
Most of the temperature increase was near the poles. I'm sure the people in Siberia are really complaning that the average temp has gone from 18 to 20 degrees over the past 50 years.

Boring. Nothing that wasn't covered by bladerunner.
And I also seriously question the notion that this is largely a product of Kubricks work.
Bladerunner / picnochio / frankenstein / Wizard of oz / 2001 Mshmash from hell.
I knew as soon as I saw William Hurt replaying Altered States it was gunna blow. I kept waiting for the monkey man to jump out. Was I the only one whao laughed out loud when the future machine race uncovered the monolith er blue fairy and gave us the "consciousness from the space/time continum fer 24hrs nonsense"? It took 200 million dollars for Spielberg to make us feel sorry for some kid without a mother? I think he's lost it.
What class did you take in CS that possibly helped you evaluate the relative merits of Pentium 4's vs Athlons? Or RDRAM vs DDR RAM? or Geforce 3 vs Radeon 2?
Maybe you went to DeVry, and got a college degree in computer repair. But CS is about algorithms and methodology, not overclocking.
Face it, unless you want to explain goatse.cx or kitty porn to your daughter, you're going to need a filter. Kids have wacked out feelings about sex, but there's no need to further confuse her by letting her stumble across some of the stuff thats out there. Remember that unfiltered Internet means easy access to ANYTHING. Don't listen to idiotic 17-23(still living in their parents basement) year olds tell you that sex and kids mix well. Bzzzt wrong. Face up to the fact that the Internet is unfortunately greatly populated by some real sick pupies who enjoy ruining it for everyone. Do what ever you can to protect her from it.
Sad fact is is that there isn't an environment like you describe. The closest thing is probably Java, but one has to wonder about its longetivity as well. Hate to say it, because their should be an alternative, but you should probably start learning C++.
The Japs tortured POW's. How does Bushido explain this? What does kendo have to do with mass rape of Koreans? How do you explain away the fixation the Japs have with humiliating women and girls. Japan as a nation is dieing a slow death and their moral lackings are partialy to blame.
I think what you're trying to say is that the Japanese lack ethics. This has been known for some time. They really don't value the individual, and they seem to have a preocupation with hummiliating people. Just look at the pr0n that comes from Japan, or the fact that the Japanese killed POW's at a rate 4x that of the Nazi's, or what they did in Korea.
I don't think the Japanese are a people we want to emulate.
ICANN is owned. What's the point in waving your arms about it at this point. The only possible sanity would have to come from congress and bush, fat chance there. So basicly the people have lost control over DNS. Move on to the next injustice.
It runs slower on NT and Linux than on 98. Duh. This more an analysis on timeslices (if even that). Hardware platforms should have varied more. PPC Mips. HP. Vax. Wang. Everything. This article was useless.

If you are an esq what is your opinion of the previous article concerning the man who was arrested for video recording his own traffic stop?

Hopefully someone will be able to find the link.

If somebody who contributed usefull code into to kernel wants to put in a vantity message who cares? If you don't like it look away.
I haven't had any luck.
Not your enjoyment.
we agreed as a society that the consumer must be served, protected
And then in the next sentence:
We seemed to understand the premise of the old warning, caveat emptor.
You just completely contradicted yourself.
So your point is invalid. Microsoft will refund purchases from a retailer for 30 days.

Play it like the pro's:
1. Pick the best.
2. If 1 > budget than pick the next best.
3. Buy it.
