bush/cheney '04 already have $140 mil in the war chest and they're barely getting started
You need old moneyed-illuminati with your interests in mind who are already in power, of course, one interested in YOUR interests doesn't exist but thanks for playing American (and therefore, world) Politics. Game Over, Insert Coin.
basically nothing will ever change as lnog as the same people keep getting re-elected, the senators from my state have been senators for ever and that most likely applies to the majority of states although I haven't checked. Until the rulling elite all die from old age/cholesterol/earth shattering greed that finally makes God take notice nothing will change
remember that as much power as/. and "united" geeks everywhere think they have (let's remember this is the same group famous for text editor holy wars, how do you think they'll feel about political issues?) in the context of the large voting population, most of which is approaching or in retirement and all for your paying for their perscription drugs with every one of your paychecks; you still have no real voice.
whatever happened to that geek relocation project that was trying to get 20,000 like-minded geek voters to move to some small state where they would actually have some rael political clout? or Freedom Ship?
oh well, back to the capitalist chain-gang my ankles were starting to feel weird without being fettered...
i'm typing this under xp that gets several hard lock ups a day, usually while playing EA games (whereas halflife runs flawlessly while ripping internet streams into mp3 in the background)
so please, stfu anonymous halfwit, (intelligent) people hate M$ because M$ can be mediocre and get away with it as they're the monopoly that controls nearly all the desktops on earth including the ones at the DoJ and sitting on foreign desktops with their backdoors wide open for spook snooping...
being first is teh only thing 99% of the american idol watching public gives a living shit about, i mean i'm a sheltered geek but i bet half the people who modded you up tailgate to make sure no one cuts them off in traffic because god knows htat losing one more car length will make a huge impact on their massively-self important little worlds... digression? maybe but with a healthy dose of realism you seemed to be lacking
oh and ironical is not a word, i won't touch your spelling cause i take a lot of shit from grammar nazis since i dont' give a fuck while posting to/. land of the self-righteous...
maybe we should let the department of energy know about enerjon cubes they seem to be renewable and made out of everything easily much better than fuel cells...
you think real politicians ahve any more credentials or any less greed?
i only have one word to back this up: California
PS arnold is running with arriana huffington also known as Satan's Lap Dog from politically incorrect w/ bill maher (sp) before he got canned for saying we're cowards for using cruise missles..
you know when cars first became popular you used to be ablet o choose the engine the chassis and the body
and the reason teh ywere mass produced by henry ford was to bring the price down so everyone could have one...
i saw a thing on the history channel (or mybe discovery?) about how the trend in the auto industry aws moving towards snap-together parts (like big legos) where you could literally snap your bumper off and put on anew one a door etc ahd a car totally customized to what you wanted
this appears to just be a restaurant style approach to this (do people in restaurants always order what's on ht emenu? of course not but they get it anyway)
along the same lines, i just heard the history channel say we've spent over $800 Billion developing our nuclear submarine fleet throughout the cold war up to the present day
i wonder if even half that had gone into feeding the poor, sheltering homeless and educating and taking care of people how much better off we'd be now from all those people becoming productive and fulfilled...
and it was darl who followed up with the kill -9 linux
(which killed the CustomerBase process chain as well)
so I haven't seen a SCO story this week, make anyone else nervous? it's like missing a german airstrike in britain (you're glad you missed this one but it makes you uneasy since they come in so often;))...
Are the statistics on how many of the reported bugs actually get attention from M$ developers and are fixed.
Dislcaimer: no i didn't RTFA because i refuse to register for NYT and for the trolls who say "what're you new here? use login xxx/yyy" or whatever, the more you cirumvent and give the traffic the more incentive you give them to use stupid registration practices and restrict information further in the future. (imagine if suddenly they had a huge drop off in traffic cause people got sick of registering)
that's all well and good but for someone like me, the 23 yo would-be college kid w/ 30 hours and 3 worthless IT certs (A+/Network+/and *GASP* MCSE, yes that's right and i started with slack '95 and i've had openbsd as my NAT server for years so keep your holier-then-thou comments to yourselves)
the up front cost of all that extra his is way out of my ballpark.. and if i can make neough to get the fuck out of my parents house doing freelance work i'd definitely consider doing it.. although i know people hwo have done this and the hours and pay are both irregular.. but for $60/hr i could get over that.. you end up dealing with teh same people working at any major computer retail chain anyway, why not actually get to keep some of the money instead of being whored out by compusa/bestbuy/circuit city/wtf else
i like probably everyone else here already do some of that support for free and family is extremely demanding and totally thankless... getting paid for the abuse is looking beter by teh minute
and certainly better than $10/hr to stand on my feet all day in a poorly lit back room doing the same thing on someone else's schedule in their uniform under their asinine policies etc
of course i know other people who have made a fair amount of side cash by selling pirated office suites and what not to people under the table when they asked forit after theri tech work had been done.. so if you dont' give a fuck abotu M$ eulas, that's another way although i personally don't..
i have seen how taxing it can be but it seems like a lot more freedom afforded than a lot of other IT jobs.. but i'm sure it beats crawling under houses to run DSL cable (i haev done that)
they should all be free, once that effort is made seriously and we are essentially freed of our labors by the automation we will be able to pursue whatever we want, which would make us a far more powerful and profitable nation than we are now
sure there would be more GGW videos but imagine how much more shit people like einstein could have come up with if they didn't have to come up with a rent check and worry about whether or not he would have food on the table tomorrow..
maybe we should start pooling all our files and sending them to the kids who are going to get prosecuted..
making them listen to 40 million hours of mp3's might run the RIAA out of money in the process (and cause a variety of court reporter suicide prevention businesses to start, yea capitalism)
on a side note isn't this fearful post what the RIAA is all about? the protection of their distribution chain? maybe they can learn something from redhat, have a decent product first and then you don't have to worry about how it gets into the hands of consumers cause they will demand it and pave the way.
if they try shit shit in the US i won't be buying their razors anymore
gillette sent me a free mach 3 on my 18th birthday and i liked it a lot and was impressed that such a company even existed, i dont' recall coke giving me a free 12 pack or any other company
as a result i've been buying their blades and razor's exclusively since that time but if they want to get draconian they will start losing customers one at a time the same way the gained them.
how about in 20 years when every single product has one and the IRS uses a sattelite to simply tally all the shit in your house and the dates that they were manufacturered and sold to you with your reported income...
uncle sam needs all the money he is entitled too after all right?

are any slashdotters on the list? if so have you been subpoenaed or heard anything at all from the RIAA themselves? i'm just curious
they should all be free, once that effort is made seriously and we are essentially freed of our labors by the automation we will be able to pursue whatever we want, which would make us a far more powerful and profitable nation than we are now
