[My presence on the SVLUG list] might well continue to be rather light....
Excellent. Readers note that "rather light" is being used an extremely loose synonym for "nonexistent" in this context.
RM:
One can't notice (1) that you're changing your story between posts
That's correct, one can't notice it, because I'm not changing topics whatsoever. The departure of Rick's noise from the SVLUG is welcome at all times, and hopefully not taken for granted by now, since it's been a long period without it. The community knows noise when it sees it, and hopefully rejects it, no matter what the source is.
RM:
you've been the one posting abuse, noise, and uncouth behaviour.
I have been bringing to light the truth behind a major complaint from community members about Rick's noise and abuse in on-line lists, and how the SVLUG triumphantly rejected Rick's behaviour. The thread subject has been kept constant, and the subject has remained on point (except for this bit of a diversion to correct an obvious attempt to confuse the readers). If this thread is considered noise to those whom have endeavoured to follow the links, I appreciate all the efforts to maintain interest in this "noise" for this amout of time.
As for the SVLUG list and community, congratulations for maintaining a friendly environment for members of the Linux community, new and established alike, to discuss the topics du jour without fearing abusive dissent from Onymous "flamers." I'm sure you all find it delightful to experience the list in it's present, low-noise, friendly state. Thanks to all of you who rise to the occasion and strive to make such an effort a continual success, in the SVLUG list and elsewhere.

I simply stopped having time for the SVLUG list in mid-2001, the list often suffering high volume and a serious S/N problem, but do lurk and post there on occasion.
That's an extremely odd way of saying, "I got booted from the SVLUG list by all the list's participants." See, what did I tell you all? Rick would more than love for everyone to believe that he didn't feel the community pressure to part ways with the SVLUG list. Maybe he didn't. But he did feel the proverbial boot in August 2001. His presence on the SVLUG list has been NULL for over a year, yet his activity on other lists on which he posts has been constant, if not increased, since. The "S/N problem" on the SVLUG list ceased shortly after Rick was ousted from the list. Nobody wanted his on-list abuse anymore, and the community prevailed. It's been great without the noise created by Rick, and without his attacks on community individuals. For all SVLUG list subscribers, past and present, who were intimidated by Rick's uncouth behaviour, feel free to post to the SVLUG list, again.

Welcome to the Rick Moen is a total loser show, brought to you by some clueless reporter from down under.
You know, SVLUG, ditching that blabber mouth, Rick, from your list was the best thing you guys did. I know Rick would like to have everyone believe that he left the list on his own... but everyone knows, or knows now, that most of the SVLUG had enough of his abusive treatment of just about anyone on-list, and forced him to cease contact with the list. Hurrah for decency! Welcome back new Linux users; Rick is gone, so it's safe to post!
This happened to me in Newark, DE. I was staying in the house of an older couple while I was attending the Univeristy of Delaware, and had a phone line ran to my room. Bell Atlantic was my local carrier, and AT&T was my long distance carrier. After a few months, all of a sudden my long distance carrier was a company by the name of LCI, and I was acruing fees from this carrier. I called the LCI phone number on my bill only to find out they didn't exist any longer. After some research, I found Qwest had acquired LCI. Qwest readily admitted I had been slammed, credited me the fees, and had my local carrier, BA, switch my long distance service back to AT&T.
The slamming happens behind your back. A long distance carrier can have your local carrier switch your long distance carrier on your behalf, supposedly with notification of your consent. Notice that your consent doesn't have to go to your local carrier. However, you can explicitly ask your local carrier to not allow this, instead requiring your consent on any account chages go to the local carrier. BA & Qwest were both very helpful. If your carriers aren't too helpful, it's your right, and responsibility, to report the incident to the FTC. (Gotta love online complaint forms!)
Shortly after my ordeal was over, I moved into a place of my own, abandoned the idea of land-line telephone service, and only use the copper pair for my DSL:) --

"I'm going to Microsoft at the end of this month to say to [chief executive officer] Steve Ballmer, 'You talk about how you create a business group process system, but I'll tell you [that] you don't come close to giving us what we need,' "
This doesn't say anything that everyone doesn't already know. His trip, IMHO, would be an expensive trip all for the purpose of _not much_. He's basically said, "We want to spend money on your Microjunk, but we cannot justify it now. We'll give you another chance, though, and we'll buy your stuff if you change it." That's not a tough stand at all.
There are shareware products that have better groupware features than those of Microsoft products, he said, drawing applause from the audience.
That's great... now MS will be sure to stomp those smaller software vendors out of business... all in the name of "giving the Navy what they need."
What the Navy needs to be doing is going out and seeking partnerships w/ those smaller vendors, promoting their work, and pumping money some place other than into MS. -- I wrote the play & still own the script...
My notebook PC's touchpad (which controls the pointer) has software to add events to my touch... touch to the top left corner maximizes window... touch to the bottom left corner minimizes the window... touch & drag the right side scrolls the window, etc.
The touchpad recognizes not only that I'm touching it, but where I'm touching it. All kinds of software can be written to take advantage of the touchpad's events.
Every other new notebook has one of these.
Now how much research did it take to slip that "new technology" into a desktop rodent?
The types of things that software can do is unlimited. As it is now, that software detects the touchpad events.
It looks like all M$ did was add event handlers into their own software.
Congrats fellas! You did forget one thing though. You simply can't make life easier by jumping into the corporate world and offloading work. You need a clip-on tie or two before things simplify any! Oh, and be on the lookout for words like dress down Friday and free lunch... perks:)

The contact and ordering info on the ad page and on the home site (www.zipaudio.com) should AT LEAST be the same. Whether or not this is a poor company that can't afford the basics of an internet business, they should at least have consistent information across web pages. This is an accepted and EXPECTED standard. This doesn't cost a developer a cent. These little things we point out are trademarks of attempts at fraud.
The company does have a legitimate company URL, www.zipaudio.com, and some company info, but the contact and ordering info is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Hmmm... It looks as if someone is diverting traffic and sales of the software using the posted URL.
Scam... enough said. But it is a nice attempt to at fraud;) You've got to love the graphical representation of a product that's supposed to be on the market in a matter of weeks. Oh, and GET A DOMAIN! It's only a drop in the bucket for a company that's sooo technologicaly advanced that they can create an mpeg player with more features than the Rio at half the price.
I'd love to see book and image publishers sue scanner manufacturers. But that makes as much sense as the RIAA suing Diamond over the Rio. Ripping all of my CDs into MP3 format isn't illegal. As a matter of fact, it's perfectly legal, and sanctioned under copyright law. Therefore playing them isn't illegal. Now, does the RIAA really think it can sue companies that help me continue my legal activities? CD quality or not... who cares... the 6.4G drive takes up less space than my former wasteland of plastic, jewl-case rack. BTW - I still have my own CDs (regretfully) & don't distribute my ripped tracks.
