Unfortunately to have a PR nightmare the public has to understand something about the subject. Right now, that isn't the case. Joe Blow on Main Street has never heard of the RIAA, and couldn't care less. All he wants is to blow Osama bin Laden's head off right now.
Sure, but you don't have to trust American media to get your message across. Apparently Al Jahira (I forgot the exact name of the network, forgive me) is widely available via satellite. This network is the one the original broadcast was from.
It's not implausible to assume that the terrorists were instructed to watch that channel to receive instructions after the first US attacks occured.
Congresspersons typically autorespond to emails and send a letter response regarding the specific issue to those persons that have emailed them, given they are constituents. They do not typically personally respond to those living outside their district. I used to be a legislative correspondent in DC, and that's how we did it.
I will tolerate it. I like their free content, and I'll continue to read it. To me, it's much less annoying that popup ads, and I don't think an extra 2 seconds of my time is too much to ask to keep good free content on the web.
Well, for one thing, you can't make a perfect copy of the car to keep and then sell the original. You can with software. I'm not agreeing with the liscensing restrictions, but there is a difference between the nature of the products.
The Company is also reducing its workforce today by approximately 700 employees, or approximately 75 percent of its total workforce. Approximately 85 percent of the affected employees are in Colorado.
There are approximately zero copywriters now employed at Rythms.
While I understand that this certainly is a "compromise", and not one the his ultra-conservative base is cheering, I respectfully disagree and still think he is a coward. Perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that the limitations he's placed are completely stifling, but that's the impression I get from reading scientists opinions (conflict of interest noted). My main point was that he can now claim to be implementing a new policy of "saving lives" while he is again in fact endorsing or only slightly changing a Clinton-era policy.
This is good for both sides and many people are pleased.
Many people are NOT pleased as well. Bush knows that the percentage of the American public that actually understands this issue is very small. He can now claim that he is for "saving lives" while at the same time ensuring that the life saving research can't possibly be done to the extent that it should be. It's a highly sanitized and spun political move by a coward too afraid to upset his right-wing base.
I bet you that if this was a WinCE device, and the article contained similarly weak evidence, the reactions would be quite different here:
"M$ Ambushes Users to Force Upgrades!!!"
"Micro$oft Turns Innocent Customers into Unsuspecting Prey!!!"
Stop and think a second. What if the Palm claim is true? Hasn't that possibility crossed anyone's minds? Admittedly it's very unlikely, but blind dismissal isn't prudent either.
iforgotmyfirstlogon sent us a link to an article on CNet about Gatoring, a fabulous new advertising technique where advertising buy key words and pop up windows over competitors.
The fine from the rental car company is for a contract violation. It has nothing to do with speeding laws. The rental company couldn't care less if he was also charged with speeding, they are enforcing a contract, not a speeding law.
1.) You are not born into a contract with ACME auto rental. The company is enforcing its usage standards on its own property (and customers are volutarily agreeing to the contract). Sheesh. ..
and 2.). ..$150 is not way over normal. Where are you from? I got pulled over in Florida going about 90 and it was $166.
They certainly have the right if you sign a contract giving them that right. Everybody here seems to think that the rental company is imposing something on its customers. You have to agree to the terms when you rent the car people. People that don't read contracts are just out of luck in my opinion. They deserve the fines.
That's exactly right. I remember changing the number of lives I had in Snakes, or whatever that QBasic game was and then changing the code in other games so I (player 1) would have an advantage over my dad (player 2). Also remember wowing my parents by "writing a song" in Basic. Man, I love that stuff. I wish I had the same enthusiasm today.

Congress cares. And they are the ones with the vote.
A 'darkened room in Washington'? Oh my. It's things like this that make me wish some people wouldn't try to argue for the 'right' side.

Just hold the audio up to the light, it's right there.

The power needs to be returned to the people, and removed from the Corporation by charging $40 for browsers.
Is that a sentence?

Are we going to get a new article to discuss every time some new swath of land is graced with broadband access? Why?
Don't mean to underestimate the kids, but most will be lost if you launch into Perl programming without hitting the Oregon Trail first.

maybe we'll hear from them when their temporarily free soauls find new bodies
Now the lights are talking! I can see the music, man. . .
