oh, okay, just the chains and whips, then. we know the last part ain't going to happen.
but if you are going to require open access, as the web wants, and free passage of data without some busybody in the back room dinking with it, as the customer wants, the best way to encourage the others is to whack the guy you first catch. hard.
I think they'd not come into effect until too late.
liquid bismuth would be useful at 180 degrees F for that which can handle it. except there is an end-of-bismuth date around 2020 beginning to be mentioned.
hey, guys, give me a couple thousand to upgrade all my apps, and then I will upgrade mah zilla. otherwise, ain't happening. retrofit the features, don't use 'em, or push down the level of OS you are writing to.
so the network is NOT locked up, it's just unrestoreble after "password recovery."
sounds like what they need to do is get some qualified engineers to redesign it, and when it's on paper, pull the plug on everything, and reconfigure from scratch.
because if it isn't saved in flash, it's going away as soon as the power light goes out.
which makes our jailed genius a little less than blazing fast. in fact, about half fast. parts of the system ARE going to go down. it's the nature of the beast. no records, no writes... the first time the janitor plugs in a 18-amp vacuum in a rack, it's gone.
they'll come along and take his Cisco cert away for not saving the configs, if for nothing else.
yeah, software costs money, blah blah. I prefer to get it over with all at once, like on my Mac (included in the price,) or on my PCs (bought at the time.) when the machine is dead and the stuff won't reload on the replacement system/os, I move on.
paying over and over again for the same thing with the buttons moved and one feature gone per revision, with more eye candy to slow the machine down, is not my motivator to write big checks. I'll leave that to big businesses that have been suckered into the "update or die" syndrome for the good of somebody else's stockholders.
for a long, long time now. every real violinmaker has a chunk of heavy old curly maple that was inherited from somewhere, in case they need it to repair a fine old instrument. they tap the wood to determine the density by the sound, like testing for the best watermelon in the bin.
while the functionality (see any ads for a Gopher maintainer lately?) and access topology (the original Arpanet was by definition not commercial) have changed radically, the core definition is still valid. put a smiley behind www if you have to, but Your Connected Internet has grown up, and is chasing the almighty dollar like the rest of us.
and so that should settle that nonsense. lost it in the 1970s, so it's well-established. lost it doing defense work, so amazon can't claim an exemption selling books to the feds, either. and amazon can't go to the US Senate for help, either... the ND tax commissioner at the time, Byron Dorgan, heads the senate tax and business committees.
it is just not going to happen that fine upstanding civic-minded citizens who happen to be able to pay for a full and frank airing of views on important issues will be able to "buy" the vote.

CUT! PRINT! Thanks, SW, here's a little something for ya.
Sue, sue sue. Sue. this was malfeasance on the part of the IT folks who were supposed to have sanitized the laptop (most shops reimage them) and a kangaroo court in all respects.
Sue the state for full re-employable reinstatement, back this and that, damage to reputation internationally, pain and suffering, cracks in the sidewalk, and anything else.
after all, who can name one other planet in which allegedly intelligent life is in contact with us? only one? maybe earth is not a REAL planet, itself, if everything else that IS a planet has no allegedly intelligent life.
actually, the judge should refuse to accept the petition and decide the motion on facts, it is in their purvey to reject a "sorry, shoot me" petition if they don't believe it was a full and meaningful declaration of the parties' intent, made with full knowledge of the law.
RIAA is always giving up just as a case gets to the core of their behavior, and whether is is privileged, or whether it is illegal.
that should suggest strongly which case it is, and some judge who is read in more than the law has eventually to stick the fork in these guys and say they're done.

good thing I still have a nice portable manual typewriter. only problem is, I can't get Google up on it. maybe I need a new ethernet cable??
all it is is flames in both directions. we have more important things to discuss. like, for instance, goatse.cx
come a long, long way from the dos, WFW, and 95 days, when you had control of your own computer.
which is why I'm not depending on them any more.

that's the only technology anybody in the city with a title is capable of directing.

our precise calculations at Intel suggest that partial core technology has great potential.
The Voices are strong, they drown out all other sounds.
probably lose half of them with this price hike.

used to be a good tool, but you can't even surf with a 500 MHz box with that evil bitslapper installed.

right?
there would be a screen instead of a speedometer, and the steering wheel would have a keyboard.

no escape. cut the check.

you are coming to a sad realization... charity or mogul?
which we don't need. if we make the malware AUTHORS more like Vista 64, they won't be able to infect anything else.

should Microsoft decide to step straight into the fist as it's flying, that's their right. but then don't come whining about being decked by a girl.
