although there are some people who haven't made the choice of which cola to drink, and generally the one that tastes best later is the one you get used to first (so advertising is similar to banks giving free money/special deals etc to students, get them now and you probably have them for life - not so true any more of course with internet banks etc).
also these very same people are likely to be heavily influenced by ads for Air Jordans, especially given that they aren't yet immune to ads (not sure that anyone ever is, noticed myself being tempted by products that have just had a big ad campaign - tho i did live without tv for about 10 years so maybe not inured yet.
the thing is that nike to sell a lot, which they shouldn't if people were making rational common sense based decisions as their quality/price ratio . . .
reckon that most internet companies advertising is aimed at investors though, cos hey, it doesn't matter have many customers/sales they have, they're still not going to make money.
in following comment pls subsitite you for 'your friend', although of cos we know:P (I'd never be caught writing either). depends on what you are writing really...
if what you are is fiction then publish online, very few people are going to read all the way thru no matter how good it is.
if you are writing any sort of manual/guidebook/whatever then paper is the way to go, as ^f is a great thing
so if i want to trash a system all i need to do it crack a user account, ddos a few systems that i know that will take punative action, and you can wipe it out for me.
it just gets easier
goshen! now if only i could find a few email autoresponder accounts that actually reply to each other i could create some great loops . . .

I'm sure they will be able to find a profit on the net, as everyone will eventually have to. It's the dawn of a new economic model, in which providers of products and services will have a more "direct" access to their customers than they had previously
think they are just a 'bit' slow, they could be making a profit now, for e.g. is music really that much different from porn?, both are available free in huge quantities online, but are the traditional porn companies making more or less money now?
not a perfect comparison i guess as porn works on the internet for reasons irrelevant to the music industry. accurate in that the companies behind both have similar mentalities & methods though.

platform independent of each of the plurality of computer
doesn't this mean that the patent only applies if the server is running a different OS (platform) than the clients'?
personally I think the patent should be thrown out because basically the English is sufficiently complex (and bad) that in essence it doesn't mean anything at all . . .
however I vote that we find a method of choosing random paragraphs from it (possibly via something like throwing short sticks and matching the patterns formed to keys on an indexed copy) and all base our daily lives on what it tells us.
Not that specialised, I run a web design co and although theoretically it would be possible for us to run entirely *n*x it would slow us down enough that we would end up on the phone all the time making excuses and be out of business pretty fast.
also can you name one easy to use/understand small business accounting package specific to uk accounting?
There are a lot of apps that aren't available and a lot of them really aren't that specialised, native versions would be great, but involves quite a lot of companies 'converting' and investing a lot of time and money on them, which probably isn't going to happen anytime that soon, till then the better WINE is the more likely it is that a lot of us can switch over entirely.
just for the record I couldn't run my business without my Linux box either... (also I think you missed out - Sun Certified PR Bunny - from your qualifications:P )
the $6 is the chip price, thay also have to add the price of the pcb & other components, and as we all know pcbs are made from crushed diamond and wired with a coating of pure gold.
please do not begrudge the chip manufacturers their losses or the OEMs & retailers their profits, they need their BMs or they wither & die from being unable to bathe in the glow of their own obvious greatness.
some people with vans and equipment to measure the signal strength to triangulate in on the station and ask them... (ok I'm just assuming this is possible, to me ham is something you eat with pineapple) and yeah I know they could be in any country, but so are the readers here...
also why??? surely reading the numbers isn't the most efficient/accurate method...
the only reason I can think of is that the code isn't just in the numbers, someone mentioned sneezing above, I think this was done in WW2 over a standard radio broadcast, it was just a plain report except for sneezes/umms/ahhs which were the key (think this was pretty famous so someone should know).
Is this some AI trollbot learning to speak? it seems to be getting more lucid anyway... I was half way through this before I realised... probably just means I should be asleep though ho hum
Plus the greif of admins. When a student where I work sent out 5,000 spam messages, advertising a company he was running on the side, the university abuse adress (which I am one of the recipients of mail to) was recieveing several spam complaints per day for 4 days...which of course we had to answer and tell these people that the issue was resolved.
But hey, what we really want to know is how many MILLIONS OF DOLLARS/. lost because of the attack..
and then it might be fun to offset this against the millions that various companies throughout the world have gained as their tech staff found themselves with nothing better to do than work:)
As much as anything the US is just a self righteous load mouthed minority, and is in general governed and policed by it's own self righteous loud mouthed minorities.
There is a very small number of people/corps with all the real power
This is as bad for the avarage US citizen, except of course for the pride you get in knowing that it is your tyranny (U.S.A!)
People don't always hate #1 anyway, it's generally that most that are #1 did some seriously dodgy things to get there....
What is with this fight anyway? I am bisytemematic, some things MS does better (admittedly thru app support) some things blax!X does better...
but in the end to know your enemy is to become them, personally I feel Linux (especially, BSD lookin' sweeeter) is becoming weaker as it emulates MS more.
and now for something etc . . .
oh yeah, forgot for a mo there, are the dangers in schools really any greater than before, or is it that they are just more known?
What is at fault here.. the system, parents, X,... e.g. would perhaps smaller schools work better , where the teachers actually know the students names? I mean I took a bomb to school once, and I never even got detention.... (but hey I did go to the same school as Dick Wittington (?) - no lie)
maybe it's time to stop questioning, stop accusing and think up a few REAL answers???
you should to, this is a good readable work, I missed all the communist parts (or I forgot, hey it's sci fi it's all kinda communist) but recently been lookinng for the sequel.
Just like to say that as someone who read 2 or 3 sicffy books a week, this one stands out, even though I gave it (reading) up in favour of working to buy beer to waste braincells
Hey hey! the book does have lots of great sci fi aspects (especially the flying bits:), and a reasonable prediction of what could be....exept for the US DOMINANCE, what is a word for crushing all others?
re your second q I am involved in developing a site that could be what you want and are open to suggestions, although if there is someone covering this territory already better than we could we are willing to step back.
for the people, by the people....etc...
btw I am quite pissed(UK) right now, opinions expressed etc...
Read somewhere that you can get away with a fair amount of copying if the work you are producing is a parody of the original (which would make sense otherwise parodies would be illegal).
Does MSFT's EULA prohibit parodies being made by people who have viewed it legitimately and clicked etc?
If not it should be possible to read it, parody it (can't see that being hard:) and repost.
shhhh! I make good money registering domains for people, more domains more money:)
Seriously though, how much longer are they going to keep expanding the current system and making it more and more confusing?
if.com &.net are now basically the same thing (and to a lesser extent.org,/. doesn't create money?) why bother having 3 seperate TLD's anyway?
if.com can be,
a multinational
a personal homepage dedicated to navel fluff
a butcher, a baker, a candlestickmaker...
then what does.com mean? if almost everyone uses is then why have it at all?
just think it is time for something new, preferably something that works for the numbers involved these days, this is just going to make the eventual transition harder slower, and mean that more people are throwing away cash (not just the reg fee, but advertising etc.) on something that in a few years will be obselete...kinda like buying vinyl a decade ago or CDs/VHS now...
of course that could be the same sort of advice as the 'press alt + f4 for OP' mentioned above. I'd try it on something harmless or get a second/third opinion first...

only problem is that patents live after the filers death, have to kill enough people to make it look suspicious
doesn't this mean that the patent only applies if the server is running a different OS (platform) than the clients'?

Unfortunately they stopped publishing online before we had to change engines and swap camshafts.
Of course if they had come up with a better encryption in the first place . . .
and the moral of the story IS.
I think it's called democracy :P
or probably earlier
"US is pissed" = "We are drunk"

Just like to say that as someone who read 2 or 3 sicffy books a week, this one stands out, even though I gave it (reading) up in favour of working to buy beer to waste braincells
