show me a soccer mom who has never seen windoze
and msoffice before pick them up and be any
more productive in *less time* than the
linux/staroffice combo.
while/.ers may whine about how slow staroffice
starts up or missing features or whatever,
completely innocent soccer moms wouldn't care
about those aspects.
how soon can she get that resume written and printed?
i dont believe windows is easier/faster for those
who've never seen it before.
so... egghead sends email to the email address
on file offering an opt-out.
but, your email-on-file happened to have change
(is no longer valid). you don't get it, you
don't opt-out.
egghead goes ahead and sells that info to Fryes...
i wonder if Fryes has any idea of the *quality*
of info they are buying?
not only do the linux users have to be braindead
enough to run binary attachments, presumably
they would have to be reading their mail
as "root" to infect appropriate files.
i presume these wireless lans essentially use
dhcp/nat type setups to map the roving users
through the home internet connection.
any abuse/misue of the net leads to
tracing back to the guilty IP#. doesn't this
put the home connection at risk to some stranger
either willfully, or through stupidity, causing
the wireline service provider to pull the plug?
everything else on the net i've ever seen has
been abused pretty badly so far...
i myself have only *one* choice in broadband
service, i'd hate to lose it to strangers
via charitable naivety...
-People won't pay for content because they're
-already paying for access - why pay twice?
so, if a conventional retailers ships something
to your house, you only pay the "shipping & handling"
and refuse to pay for the goods themselves?
after all, the transport system already gave
you access, why pay the producer of a product?
i run a fairly major email digest.
it goes out as plain text, no attachments,
no mime headers. good old fashioned text email.
so... i have a poor subscriber at dnv.com that
doesnt get digests on a regular basis because
their lame virus scanner rejects it with a message
back to me saying:
"A message with the subject XXX dates DDD
was found containing a virus by the DNV
Gateway Scanner. Please update your virus
scanner and disinfect the message before
resending."
uh... text message? no attachment... a virus?
and i dont use a virus scanner on my linux
thankyou very much.
on the offchance their lame assed filter ever
catches a real one, couldnt they also at least
say which virus it THINKS it detected? eesh.
(there was no I LOVE YOU or other obvious text
in my digest either)
hmmmm, this would mean i'd *have* to log in.
no more mr. anon coward.
so, for the privilege of giving say $30, they
can now do demographic mapping of the articles
i read, how often, etc. and sell that info to
others.
(of course 'in aggregate'. hahaha).
Banners, junkbusters and hostfiles seem safer somehow...
i do somewhat agree with an earlier post suggestion pay-to-post micropayments.

and it most certainly is more expensive.
doesn't anybody learn simple escape artist
and slight-of-hand magic anymore nowdays?
must everything have "no user servicable parts"
(and batteries not included) with the box?
magic is technology in its purest form.
i was under the impression apache can be run

under microsoft windows...
the survey site seems to assume that anything
windows must not be anything but an MS webserver.
i'll just sit back and assume the microsoft
server numbers
are even lower than presented
woohoo!

i kinda like this possibility

i certainly dont read my email as root.
worse...
