And this is the exact type of rambling, over-the-top, tin-foil hat (fitted with a simple microchip in a year's time... Please) absurdist shit that drowns out sane disagreement. The guy, as a citizen, writes a three line retort to an organization's comments and all of a sudden he's a PARASITE.
Thanks for using a modicrum of common sense and rereading (out loud and shouting at the top of your lungs by the end. in front of people too. best if it be your parents) what you typed before you hitted submit. Now all Phil has to do to negate hundreds of rational arguments against his case is to wave your tripe in front of the curious thus proving our side is nothing more than a bunch of prepubescent nut cases.
Seriously folks, if you absolutely must react to this "event" at least have the moxie to compose a thoughtful response.
No. We've been through this embarrassing moment before. It wasn't a license agreement. It was a poorly worded indication that the file wasn't enabled for voice playback. Blame the UI on this one. Not some draconian legal team.

Sounds cool. I'll wait a while and rent it. That way if I really have to do some heavy thinking I can hit Pause. I always do my best thinking in the bathroom anyway....
Yeah, this would work in a Free Market void of marketing, PR and advertising. It would be true of a Free Market if "DOS ain't done until Lotus won't run" never happened. It would work ****IF**** once the monopolist has control of the market they don't abuse their ability to set price or if they don't punish OEMs for trying to use a competitor's product. You omit from your example that Superior has agreements which punish airports for allowing Lincoln onto their runways and contracts that don't permit the airplane makers to roll out aircraft to Lincoln as fast as the company needs them to grow. And anyway, who has heard of Lincoln? The only advertising they can afford is word of mouth.
Remember that a whispering campaign by Microsoft alowed them to kill the first competing GUI OS for the PC (merit of competitor's product beside the point) while getting the market to wait for Windows 1.0. Hey, MS didn't even have a product to compete with.
I refuse to buy the concept that some utopian Free Market is better than a regulated one. It all falls apart when you accept that in today's day and age a truly informed consumer that is swayed by hard fact and unmoved by corporate propaganda doesn't exist. Even the Christian Right could not effectively boycott Disney and its byzantine array of subsidaries(sp.)And the only good monopoly I've seen so far has been the NFL.
And btw, MS didn't have a patent in its pocket to become a monopoly. I may hate software patents and think they are an abomination but they aren't the one true reason of why monopolies are bad.
Frodo was an idealistic dreamer and if it wasn't for the real hero, Samwise, he would have broke after the Fellowship fell apart. More importantly, if it wasn't for Sam, Frodo would have definately not thrown the Ring into Mount Doom and the last book would be The Return of the Big BadAss.
Of course, the only reason Frodo got to be the ring bearer in the first place was because he was the favorite relative of a rather unusual and famous (rich too!) hobbit who also just happens to give him a magic sword and mithril mail. Also doesn't hurt that he has a wizard/demi-god at his back to get the ball rolling either.
It could also be argued that the only reason a hobbit makes a good ring bearer is because, in general, they are a simple and contented folk whose biggest cultural conundrum is which pipe to bring to the latest social gathering. Look at Gollum. He gets it and the best the ring can cajole him into doing is living in a cave for a looong time.
Face it, Frodo is a hero because he's got the support and when it finally comes down to crunch time he does the heroic thing just like Harry Potter. Saying that one is more deserving of the title than the other is sophistry plain and simple.
The decision eliminates the establishment of a technical committee to assess Microsoft's compliance with the agreement. In its place, a corporate compliance committee -- consisting of Microsoft board members -- will make sure Microsoft lives up to the deal, the judge said.

For people who want to learn PIX they can buy a 501. $430 US on ebay. For most homes and SOHOs, the 10 connection limitation isn't a showstopper. I just did an exchange rate and the real thing is actually cheaper than $800 Autralian.

We've recently had a rash of beverage spills here at work. Don't go laughing at the concept of a mouse wrangler just yet.
I can just see it. Under your desk you get a mini dishwasher beside your PC. "Don't bother me right now! I'm in the middle of a power scrub." or "Quick PFY, this mouse needs an alcohol rub. Pass me the Q-tip!"
IFF your company invests (i.e. spends money) to get redundancy and IFF your company allows you to access the systems during production hours. For the most part, where I work we do fairly well on the first but not the latter. That means coming in late at night and patching the servers. Just because you can do something doesn't mean management will let you do it.
And it is still bogus to have to reboot a machine over patching a browser.
You have to reboot to complete the installation. Great. Now all my server updates (please do not ask why, I just follow orders) are going to be a joy. I can't believe I have to reboot to patch a damn browser.
Here's my idea. Take it fwiw but it incorporates a concept Radia Perlman came up with. Create a number of CAs and have individual projects get a certificate from them. Use that to sign the MD5 sum which can go to a distributed repository. You grab the sum and verify it.
Once the cross connects for the CAs start to become unwieldy, create a higher level of CAs. The good thing about this is it isn't the anarchy model of trying to get everybody's GPG key and it is much easier to revoke a certificate unlike the current Verisign monopoly model.
I know this isn't the greatest description but does the idea make sense?
Yes you did. The fact that the FCC will then sell off the spectrum that old analog tv was using to the highest bidder without one thought to reserving some of it for spread spectrum networking and the like.
The industry is stuck in old technology and no one wants to move forward.
The industry can make the investment now and upgrade its distribution to digital. Once they're done they can work on selling me that it is in my best interest to buy into it. If they're willing to take the risk of losing their market they can also cut off the analog signal for all I care.
The electronics industries would love to sell new tv's to everyone. The broadcasters don't want to spend money upgrading equipment, sets, and they would also rather fit 5 crappy channels at standard definition than 1 crappy channel in high definition.
None of this is my problem.
The general public doesn't want to spend money on HDTV's or even digital TV's because there's not enough content off the air, or any other way. If digital receivers were integrated into the TV then at least broadcaster will know a large number of people (eventually) will be able to receive what they're broadcasting. And the price is really not an issue.
Are you high? Price isn't an issue? What bullshit. Now all of sudden, you're going to tack on $200 and when I wanted to get a 35" set I'm now stuck getting a 27" set. Look whether you want to admit it or not a tv is a major purchase. You're back to original problem. The additional cost will make consumers put off the purchase. Putting off the purchase will delay getting a cost reduction. In this scenerio a tv isn't even making my top ten list. Hell that tankless water heater I've been investigating is beginning to look a lot sexier than a new tv with an expensive "digital" converter.
There are so many advantages to digital TV (not only HDTV) that it really is the smart thing to do. All the industry needs is someone to get them to swallow the initial bitter pill!
Name one that outweighs the eventual mandate for DRM in the set and the then inevitable slide to pay-per-view for all programming.
THIS IS MY KERNEL. There are many like it but this one is mine. My kernel is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.
My kernel, without me is useless. Without my kernel, I am useless. I must compile my kernel true. I must debug faster than the proprietary who is trying to FUD me. I must outperform him before he outperforms me. I will...
My kernel and myself know that what counts in this war is not the bogomips we reach, the cpus we scale, nor the filesize we achieve. We know it is the core dumps that count.
We won't dump.
My kernel is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its modules, its vm, its #defines and its compile time. I will ever guard it against the ravages of binary modules and IP claims. I will keep my kernel efficient and ready, even as I am efficient and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God I swear this creed. My kernel and myself are the defenders of my PC. We are the masters of the proprietary. We are the saviours of my life.
So be it, until there is no proprietary, but Free!
