Yes, but were you getting the same support contract?
Am I the only one who finds nearly everything said here rather elitist and rude? This attitude of"only we Slashdotters are smart and cultured enough to appreciate science programming. The general public is too stupid, uninterested, and incapable of understanding it." It's utter nonsense.
It is possible to have self-confidence and be proud of your achievements without assuming that everyone else is a blathering idiot. Putting down everyone else makes you a smaller, not a bigger person.
To learn that this was not an independent view, but one that was massaged by your campaign operatives, jaundices the speech and reduces the credibility of his remarks
As if ANY politician these days (including Diane Feinstein) writes their own speeches, instead of having them "massaged by their campaign operatives"...
What's this cheap bikers shot at californians? I rarely see bikers around here, even at the hippie grocery stores they all drive SUV's and are talking on their cell phones.

"Hellacious Riders' primary business is an online motorcycle magazine which publishes articles about motorcycles, lists classifieds, and provides access to a topic-specific search engine. In order to attract interest, the company launched a 3-Gigabyte free email service a little over a month ago and since then has signed up more than 36 million users, according to Jim Weiss, President of the iTrade Group which publishes Hellacious Riders."
If I purchase an album digitally, I'd still like to download a PDF/Flash/something of the album art and liner notes. It's important content that the artist (or perhaps the label) feels complements the music, and that's why they are sold together. Although I'm puchasing music in a different format than a jewel case, I still want the same experience.
The theory that a vote for Nader/Badnarik is a vote for Bush stems from the idea that people who vote for change are probably voting for Kerry and not for Bush.
When the choice is between a candidate from Party A who supports invading Iraq, opposes gay marriage, and thingks the FCC should have additional censorhip rights and a candidate from Party B who supports invading Iraq, opposes gay marriage, and thingks the FCC should have additional censorhip rights, the only vote for change is Part C.
For example I'm a Law and Order nut. It's my favourite show and I can watch the espiodes over and over. I would love a Law and Order channel, that just showed it 24/7. Then, whenever I decided I wanted to see it, I could sit down and do so.
They're not going to do that -- it'll cut into sales of the DVDs. The trend these days is to show fewer and fewer repeats. Look, for instance, at 24 and Alias. No repeats this year -- just realy quick full-season DVDs.
Marketing had nothing to do with OS/2's success or failure.
I wouldn't go that far -- there definately was some connection. I know genuine, decision-making people who were under the impression that "OS/2" was designed for IBM "PS/2" computers (released around the same time), and therefore not worth considering if the PCs they had weren't made by IBM. That's a big marketing problem.
Face it, no one is going to vote for Nader or any other third party candidate because they know he can't win. Still, we need third parties.
That's circular. If everyone who claimed they WOULD vote for Perot/Nader/Whomever if they had a chance of winning HAD voted for Perot/Nader/Whomever, the third part candidate would have had a chance of winning. You're just supporting a self-fulfilling bias, which doesn't really exist. When you enter the voting booth, it's just as easy to vote for any of the running candidates. At least...if you're not Floridian...

...his administration didn't write the PATRIOT act...
"But in reality Kerry is not so far from Bush in his views on the Patriot Act. The Massachusetts senator claims he not only stands by his vote for the legislation, but that he authored most of the law's money-laundering provisions and thinks some aspects of the act actually need strengthening (like improving intelligence information sharing)." ref
You may see a lot at stake, but there is NO benefit to voting for Kerry over Bush. There is no substantial difference in their policies. If you want something different, vote third party.
It isn't mine, but my friends Toshiba lasted for all-night goof-off sessions at Dennys after he got some free-ware power-management software... I'll ask him specifically what it was and try and post back here.

After the way Apple treated Motorola during their time selling StarMax Mac clones, I'm much suprised that anyone at Motorola would even consider collaborating with Apple on a product again.
TOo bad I've boycotted HP's products in light of CEO Carly Fiorina's lobbying for accelerated outsourcing of American Technology jobs to oversea's firms
Cause those stupid foreigners, they don't deserve jobs like you Americans do, right?

Can't they just install the Samsung Update utility?

Live in a country where your daily commute is an hour-and-a-half train ride one way, and perhaps you'll begin to see the justification.
A one-minute TV program isn't going to take that much of a bite out of your one-and-a-half hour comute, though...

Kerry == Bush.
Someone at Slashdot is very confused. IBM is "Big Blue", not Microsoft.
That's completely inefficient.
The whole point of a computer to count, really really fast, and really really accurately. And at relatively low cost.
Hiring a whole bunch of expensive, failable humans to count is a not a good alternative.
Hook up a webcam and put it right outside. ...on a twelve-hour delay. Perfect way to amuse/confuse your houstguests.

I'm going to need a bit more. Hell, there are people who buy 80GB players _just_ for music.
You do realize that there's absolutely no way you'll get through 80GB of music OR video on a single battery charge?
No WalMart... lame.
WalMart does online UK sales?

can influence content through self-censorship, simply because developers will try to get a lower rating to gain more sales.
or will push for a higher rating, for those who, say, think that seeing a "G-Rated" movie isn't cool.

What's the compelling motivation to not vote for Kerry?
He opposes the idea tha loving people should be allowed to marry, merely because of their gender?
He thinks its okay to go to a foreign country and start killing its citizens?
He thinks only Americans deserve jobs?
Why I'm voting for Kerry
...his administration didn't get us into an insane war in the middle east...
...his administration didn't write the PATRIOT act...
Which Kerry are you thinking of, exactly?
