AOL is not exactly a bastian of security. If my university really, really wanted to, they could intercept all my aim conversations. AIM is only secure as the ISP you are using to connect to it.
Last time I checked, the first amendment didn't have a age-clause attached to it. If there is a willing buyer and a willing seller, I don't see why the any government, local or federal, should have any say on whether the transcations.
If stores don't want to sell 'M' games to minors, based on their own opinions, that's fine.
But to charge stores with a crime because they don't buy the "game violence causes real violence" horse shit is heinously immoral.
our profs at vt use MOSS to figure out if we are cheating or not.
The only people that i've seen caught with it, though are the really lazy people(those who just copy their program without even attempting to make it look like their own)
Well, ZDnet has already mentioned that people were running automated scripts to stuff the ballot. I think the point of the article(at least to me) was not "OH MY GOD MS RIGGED A POLL! WHAT MONOPOLOSITIC EVIL!), but rather it was amusing that MS is willing to go to such lengths to make sure it wins a unscientific poll. I defer to the following quote:
Winning an arguement on the internet is like winning the speical olympics. Even if you win, you're still a retard.
Not to mention the fact that they were caught must be very embarassing to Microsofot Exec's, whether or not they were involved.
Ok, there's been lots of post mentioning about the sheer volume of the said "libel" behavior(14000 messages on various boards, and 35000 messages to former coworkers)
This is an issue for the various boards amd the coworkers(though the latter might be a little iffy since it might involve servers owned by intel). But if the board owners doesn't mind that there is someone posting obnoxious messages on their respective message boards repeatedly then there is no issue. End of story.
What is the point of your arguments? All you've basically stated is that it's harder to be a parent now than it was before. Boo hoo.
Nobody forced you to have a kid. That was a choice you made on your own. Take some god damn responsibility for the choice you made. If you and your spouse don't have time for your kid, then why did you have him in the first place? The problem is not the entertainment, it's the fact that too many people who give up on parenting and let the government and tv raise their kids because, "it's too hard", and "they don't have enough time." Make the time, you lazy, selfish people.
Adults say that kids have no respect for their parents anymore. Why should they when their parents don't care about them?
laws regarding R-rated movies are unconstitutional as well. Government has no place deciding the morals for everyone nor has it any place raising someone else's child.
this is a good idea. and I agree, except when it comes to forcing the source being released. It's absolutely ludricous to have to force a chef to relinquish his recipes after he retires, and as such it wouldn't be much fairer to force companies to release their source.
Giving away the software of failed companies could turn every corporate failure into a disaster for everyone else
Perhaps, if you are an idiot. If you apply the knowledge you learn from even failures projects correctly, it can only benefit you. If you just blindly use someone else's code without understanding it, then disaster is expected.
A good programmer can always learn from a bad program.

I was willing to give AotC a chance, even with the completely retarded name. I didn't think TPM was really that bad, but I knew it could've been better, and I knew that TPM was really not meant for me, but for those a bit younger than I was.
But this just breaks with everything that is star wars. Having a bunch of talentless monkeys show up simply because they have a gazillion dollars, even with Lucas knowing full well this will upset many of his core fanbase for the series.
I thought that Lucas still had integrity, even after TPM. I remember the Lucas that forewent giving the role of Luke Skywalker to a well known actor because he wanted some not so well known actor to have a crack at it.
This is not the same Lucas anymore. I feel somewhat betrayed. So, excuse me if I'm a little fucking mad about it!
Linux is, after all, an extremely expensive operating system. After all, just look at Hewlett Packard, their Linux distribution sells for $3000 retail. When was the last time you saw a copy of Windows XP (and this is a retail copy, not considering the fact that it comes free with most new machines) for $3000?
2 points:
1) you're comparing apples to oranges. The HP distro is for things a hell of a lot more complicated than what you use XP for(regular home use). Windows 2000 Server OSs costs significanly more than the Professional version, not to mention that most of the software you need has to be bought separately, whereas distros bundle everything you could possibly need.
2) XP is not "free" when you buy a new computer. You simply don't have to install it yourself, which is the only gain. You purchase a license for windows XP when you buy a computer, whether you know it or not.
I thought it was a somewhat disturbing movie. The animators seemed to have an unhealthy obsession with little children's underwear(panty flashes are ok in anime geared for older viewers, but this was a kids movie for christ sake).
Slashdot Mirror
but they can't get by on near-flat-shaded cartoonish games forever.
If they are damn good games, they sure as hell can.
what? what do you want them to do? give wc3 a trash review? then you'll be criticizing for being too "anti-blizzard".

Don't say:
"I suggest you do not follow the link"
Say:
Don't click on the link unless you want your computer to be fucked.
when the dual force for the ps1 came out?
the band named Goldfinger?
or Goldfinger Premium Fruit?

can you explain 2 things:
1) What relevance would this email list have with MS's case?
2) If X-Windows does not violate MS's trademark, explain how the hell Lindows can?
Michael himself said to ignore this stupid argument of the article, but rather focus on the talk on apache 2.0.

Europe's completely the opposite. They love sex(nude beaches, porn more accessible), but they cringe at blood.
not to mention that china is practically the capital of copyright infrigement.

Does he mean GPL or public domain? I would much rather prefer the latter, since it would probably be the fairest way to do it.

"Although half of it is admittedly suit/rah rah speak, the interesting nuggets mention use of Microsofts "Sun and Linux insiders"
hmmm, i wonder how this email was obtained?
I think what taco was asking was whether we need Microsoft Office, not just an office suite in general.
if you can finish this in one year, my hat goes off to you.
