I have done some public speaking in my day and have been heckled and it's not a pleasant experience... however one must realize that people have the right to heckle, are entiltled to their opinion and Being Heckled builds a lot of characher if you handle yourself properly... look at the guy who played Kramer -- bad move after being heckled saying the N word... then he had to go to Vice Principal Jesse Jacksons office to get paddled:)
Now Kerry handled himself well... he is heckled all the time i am sure (US senate) but the Administrators of the Event did not know how to handle a heckler...
See when I was being heckled no one came to my rescue... no cops... loose organization... most folks were stunned and a little scared (heckler was BIG) so... i had to just be cool... and was rewarded in the end with a lot of pats on the back "you did a good job pauly_thumbs", being cool under pressure and criticism.
If they threw the heckler out on me I would never have had the chance to shine... and Kerry really missed that chance, but then the story would have never made it this far.
The use of force was def. excessive they will have the crap sued out of them.
i worked for real networks for about 30 seconds in 2002... they used eudora there... it was strange, confusing and mildly er0tic. I don't think I ever sent or recieved an email at RNWK once... ever.
I'd like to personally thank the "UN security council" for Rawanda, Serbia, Korea, Angola, the oil for food scandal, corruption waste and an innefectual system that gives power to every backwater dictator on the planet
An interesting fact about american politcs... when the politician does the RIGHT THING he's often not re-elected -- Take ROTH for example -- the brilliant Public Servant that brought us the Roth IRA. Not Re-elected -- why? because he did the RIGHT THING.
I think that Bush's Low approval ratings Showcase that He's doing the RIGHT THING.
remember it's a republic of representatives not a pure democracy... hence Polls really mean Jack Sh*t

"easier to enter romania"
Romania is not the economic superpower of the world.... go to romania... have fun:)
"where does it end?"
it ENDS when the violence against the west ends. the only bargaining chip the middle wast has is Oil... that chip will soon be worthless, Consumer demand for alternatives and the MASSIVE ammount of drilling happening elsewhere will make the middle east once again the lonely backwater that is longs to be again.
you're never going to get by that -- ever -- not when XP and OSX are OEM and packaged into the cost of a PC or MAC.
Lethargy is a relative term as well -- why fix it if it ain't broke AND if you are implying that I am lethargic because I don't load *NIX on my laptop, toothbrush, the wing on my honda crx...etc... then you are assuming that my time is wortless and I am lethargicly lying around mindlessly strokin my johnson
sorry i have bills to pay, wife to entertain and friends to hang out with.... breaking a perfectly working computer and hten fixign it ti;; it works again is no longer my idea of a good time.
I saw somehting on Animal Planet the other day that showed common crows flipping the toads onto their backs and disembowling them and then eating up their yummy entrails! DELISH!
"Some species are learning how to deal with the toads. "Crows have learned to flip them over and eat their bellies out, avoiding the poison glands," Dr Kennett said."
The Barney-steered blimp flying into the KBBL radio tower, the blimp bursting into flames and Kent's exclaiming the news references the 1937 Hindenburg disaster. The German zeppelin had accidentally snagged a tower mooring while landing in Lakehurst, N.J., bursting into flame and killing 36 people. Barney, however, apparently survives the Simpsons' disaster.
Steve this would be a bad move - Real is so mismanaged and screwed up that they have the reverse midas touch - meaning everything they touch turns to crap.
here's a business plan:
1)Keep the IPod under Apple's strict control 2)let Real go to MS. 3)rake in more dough 4)Real floats off into elliott bay during next earthquake in seattle
i think the slashbots would be amazed as to how many people rely on MSN for everything - just like I rely on google for everything - sure, I think to myself WTF?? but changing the homepage for the average user is not an option.
case in point - i recently put an ad out for a car that i was selling - a 67 camaro - the car has been sold and the AD has been deleted - i am still getting queries on the car from people who are using MSN's proxy or dns servers - I get about 1-2 call/emails a day -
what i am trying to say is that even though prior to deleting the Ad I put SOLD SOLD SOLD in description space - still i get inquiries - so here is the morale of the story.
People don't read descriptions they only point and click at what they think is pretty
and
People take what is presented to them as reality - if there is an Ad then the car must still be for sale - regarless of whether or not it is sold.
Hence, if people see 99 cent songs on their hompage they will not consider who is selling them - only slashdotters seem to do this - they will only see that the song is.99 and they will buy and buy in droves.

Companies are not aware of thier SA bennies - like spread payments - training - home useage and purchase program, new version rights, support, etc...
Ignorance of bennies does not mean that the SA program is bad.
I reccommend companies using every single benefit therefore getting all the bang for their bucks.
SA is a good program - and there is such a thing as negotiations as well.
trust me, MS wants their customers happy
