I think possibly so. Historically, getting back and forth between the US and Canada has been not much dismilar than going from Oregon into California and pulling over for a fruit check. (while smiling) "Hello, eh*?, where ya from?, where ya goin?. have a good trip!" going into B.C. And "where ya from?, where ya been?, buy anything?, proceed" coming home. (at least in my experience at blaine,sumas)
and I think to some respect there is a bit of truth to the idea that American citizens don't think of Canada as another country.
I admit I am a bit put out by the notion I need a passport to travel to and from Canada. It sucks. Something cool is being lost. but I guess we'll just get used to it.
I say focus on blocking the bad guys from ports coming onto the continent and work to remove the barriers on the continent. that would be a nicer world to live in. Not holding my breath.
isn't this sort of redundant. Windows is the krap thing that comes with "my computer". "Starter Edition" simply defines windows.
And what self-respecting power user is going to run windows in the first place? (unless forced by the wisdom of a corporation that writes the paycheck)
Not sure how KDE on windows is even viable. if it's just KDE apps, then maybe some geeks use those apps, mom and pop just keep using the included windows versions.
if it's a "platform", whereas KDE "replaces" the Windows shell, then I would suggest preparing for a life of grief. Ask IBM how Microsoft felt about OS/2 for Windows. Sucks when those OS security patches move the entry point on you.
Then again, maybe I misunderstand the intentions here.
looking for some slashdot wisdom here. first off, I am not familiar with the workings of satellite radio like XM and Sirius. I am also not very familiar with Stern's show, although that's beside the point.
the part I am unclear on is this:
Would Stern do his show at time X for N hours, with the show playing live, then followed by a re-airing, repeated until the next live show?
or is this an on-demand tivo time-shift thing, where someone would tune in at whatever time and be able to hear the show from the beginning?
but stealing playlists? what's so fucking criminal about taking the "top 20" and shuffling them ad nauseum? (well, yes it is criminal to be forced to listen to that playlist). of course all 1000000 clearchannel stations all use the same shitty playlist, are they all stealing from each other?
it's all so scary, so much shit music, so few playlists.
Cause it's the official operating policy of the Olympic games
When Seattle was looking into the Olympics it became know that many business would be "forced" to give up their name due to the use of Olympic. We've got a fucking Olympic Mountain Range these are named after. But no less, they would be forced to change, by local and state gov't edict.
We never got far enough along to determine if the mountain range would have to be renamed, perhaps they would just blot it out when doing panarama's of Seattle, sounds like it would be considered a terrorist mountainrange.
I supect a few well placed bribes could have mitigated the situation, perhaps a few IOC kids could get free rides to the UW.
perhaps it's time for the olympics to die again for a thousand or so years.
it's a very good thing this is happening to those in power, especially someone as powerful as Senator Kennedy.
Only when idiot laws begin to affect those in power will something usually be done to correct it.
Maybe the Honorable Senator and John Gilmore can get together and work to getting TSA to be an organization that doesn't resemble authority from a Charlie Chaplin movie.
SCO seems to have this fondness of picking on those that can thoroughly kick it's ass. but then again, it's fights are obviously chosen by others who are too chickenshit to fight themselves.
Darl's is obviously a puppet, aparently this Enderle creep is too. Amazing what can be found under rocks if you are up to scraping away enough slime.
yep, MS found a couple of real specimens in these two. funny, I recently sent a very similar specimen to my septic tank. MS may want to use some soap when they're done.
gee, maybe SCO can print grassroots articles with photos of "real people" that totally agree with their bullshit story...photos that will be immediately found in common clip art libraries. MS has set a great example for such bozo tactics.
the trailer park has certainly gone downhill since Darl & company moved in. but nothing an IBM tornado can't clean up.

Or am I missing some other cultural effect?

* no disrespect intended, eh
wow, we're seemingly getting multiple MS press releases here on slashdot daily.
I hope they are paying for all this advertising.
(or are these subtle pseudo-DOS attacks on MS resources via the slashdot-effect? you guys are crafty)
now to decide, is this a troll, off-topic, flamebait or just another grumpy person who feels that the world doesn't revolve around redmond.
fixpack schmixpack. news? hardly.
People realize today that the governments worldwide have to play a role
yeah, stay the fuck away. THAT'S your role.
maybe the entire cast from Scooby kids can join starfleet too.
they can fight scary space ghosts from romulus, no wait, it's just the Janitor Mr Skragg!
I would think that you need get back to uninstalling spyware... but hey, it's only your data. why protect it with a real system?
wow, smacked by cowards.
what's a tux racer?

flame away winbozos
Fuck you
yes, "the scene". where we spend out time stealing shit (and more importantly using slang like "warez" to show how cool we are).
yawn
no security hole "to be named later" was involved?
Is is me or is this an assinine program. Who in their right fucking mind would volunteer their fingerprints to #@^#& GROCERY STORE?
They can have a stool sample if they like, wrapped in a flaming paper bag for effect.
Nothing to see here methinks. Sun saw IBM's good press and is trying to steal some for themselves with a half-hearted sorta-open source scheme.
they're just trying to keep the power going to the life support equipment.

Glad MS has the high ground on theivery issues. Otherwise they may be considered hypocritical on this subject.
ah, the old OS/2 can't do this filesystem from "Cairo".
it's lying in wait, waiting to lung out and kill penguins at just the right time...look out!
it's coming soon. really. no really. come on stop laughing!!!! it's going to come out any day now. yeah, in longhorn, that's the ticket.
shit, I though Borland dumped this DOS relic. good to see useful old applications being dusted off. wonder if they'll open source it?
I bet Philippe Kahn is behind this
microsoft copies shit. that's what they do.
but stealing playlists? what's so fucking criminal about taking the "top 20" and shuffling them ad nauseum? (well, yes it is criminal to be forced to listen to that playlist). of course all 1000000 clearchannel stations all use the same shitty playlist, are they all stealing from each other?

obviously this is the opening SCO has been looking for.

the Alpha had it's death warrant signed when DEC allowed themselves to be played by MS in the NT vs OS/2 wars of the early 90's.
As soon as NT got real traction on Intel, they tossed DEC aside like the cheap whore they were.
but then again, maybe I am just being ornery

if you are dumb enough to create a mission critical application in Windows, you get what you deserve.
Unfortunately in this case, we have patients whom bear no blame in such stupidities.
so what to do? lots of bitching and fingerpointing, workarounds and a whole lot of pain and suffering....add slashdot and stir vigorously
