"I'm sorry but show me one independent artist who's nearly as good as Ella Fitzgerald."
That's a matter of taste. Ella is fine but I haven't a clue what you would think is better. Check out emusic. They have the best selection of independent music of any service I've seen.
Because making sure a few students are well educated isn't enough. My son isn't even in school yet but I know we would all benefit from living in a well educated society.
"Teachers are low paid, principal might be better, but all resources don't remotely add up to our tax dollars."
The problem is that we far outspend the rest of the world in military spending to maintain our illusion of superiority. We spend more than the next 23 nations combined for our ability to fight a multi front war while school funding continues to slip. In the city I live in they had to close schools three weeks early last year because of lack of funding. It's a complete misplacement of priorities and both political parties are guilty of it IMO.
Sadly it can't be helped. We geeks and nerds are feared and misunderstood by the greater public. So any word we come up with to define ourselves (such as geek or nerd) takes on a negative connotation in the eye of the greater public. You just have to remind yourself that it doesn't matter because we read their email.
Please do. I've been a member for almost two years. It's a fantastic service with a lot of great music, even if it hasn't all been blessed by the Top-40 Illuminati.
Well. The security problems that were posted here related to sp2 relies so much on social engineering and user stupidity that they don't really qualify as sp2 issues. So the MS bashing zealots have to find something else. My question is why does it only slow down business apps? The answer of coarse is that it doesn't just slow down business apps, it slows down the whole system to some small degree. But this shows that the author either doesn't know what he is talking about or is pushing an agenda.
"It needs Windows XP, adding cost." True, Linux may be cheaper (free) but I think this is aimed at the wider corporate audience. I know this would be great in our call center. We would still need a Clientele (for example) license for each tech but Clientele doesn't run (last I checked) on Linux and we need one license per tech now. I think office would not need multiple licenses either as it is a per CPU license.
My bully uses rotts for squeaky toys. Only problem I've had is he isn't the smartest dog in the world so I haven't been able to teach him to bury the burglar's remains, keeps leaving the damn things out in the yard. Such a hassle to clean up.
I agree. It's one of those things that you notice most when it isn't there. One morning not too long ago I woke up to find my Comcast connection down. It took them 4 hours to get it working again and it really made me feel how much my day revolves around being connected.

You think I should trust a/. AC more? The parent AC claimed Miquel was a terrorist sympathizer and posted a link that they claimed proved this. The link does not prove this and the AC provided no other proof so I call bullshit on him.
This being the first time I've heard of Miquel De Icaza or EI I clicked on your link.
What I found seems to contradict your statement.
From the site: Q: What principles guide your work?
EI: EI is committed to communicating the realities of life on the ground for ordinary Palestinians and challenging myths and distortions about them in the commercial media through analysis and our own reporting. EI is independent of any political, factional, ethnic, or religious affiliation, and bases its view of the conflict on the foundation of universal human rights and international law. The Electronic Intifada condemns all attacks on civilians, regardless of the perpetrators, yet encourages people to examine the structural roots and dynamics of violence in the conflict and the imbalance of power that perpetuates these dynamics.
EI seems to be about the spread of information not violence.
Hi, you must be new here. Here's your M$ bashing stick (we spell it M$ not MS because money makes things evil and we hate money and are not hypocritical about this at all). It works best when swung with both hands in an overhead fashion while yelling "In the name of Linus I smite thee!"
So my Neuros player will still work right? Didn't think so. The story just sounds more sinister when a trendy gadget is apparently singled out. The writer thought by giving it a MS Vs Apple twist more people would read it.
I agree but I don't think it is as simple as a choice. I think most people who achieve greatness in anything are driven to it. They often (always?) suffer for it but I don't think they feel they had a choice. The same is true for the people who achieve mediocrity only in reverse. They don't feel driven but still don't see any other choice, or if they do it is only later in reflection.
"before pulling out numbers, especially for things that change as quickly as that, you might want to check your stats to make sure."
I can tell by your ID that you are not new here so I'm surprised that you don't know that 69% of slashdot statistics are pulled straight from the posters arse.

"o would they be recompiling all their stuff that shows up an exploit with the new compiler, to ensure that BOs don't happen?"
They recompiled a large number if files with this for SP2. That is why it is almost 300MB.
I think you must be right. The windows vulnerability has been bricked up.

Only because someone had wasted a mod point calling it informative.

Yep. They also don't eat honey because it is produced by bees.
No, on Fox news the headline would be "Kerry's vote against funding results in more disaster."
"Hell, imagine if our President had to recite the law once a year."
oh god no. Just imagining the things that would get messed because he mangled a sentence or two makes me shiver.
