>It doesn't matter that only a few people in the world can fix bugs,
And how many of those few people will want to support an old OS? Would they be more motivated to support something new since they are doing it for free?
If I posted that I have a problem with an application and an OS from 6 years ago, wouldn't the obvious answer would be to upgrade the OS since everyone else has the the application running on that?
Because if you aren't and have no childern/dependents then you really need to look where the money is going and figure out what is a "want" and a "need".
>Some sort of odd math that makes more than one password work?
Really really simple dumbed down of an explination of what could be happening.
I set the password to "011". Word takes the sum of the digits (0 + 1 + 1 = 2) and stored the result.
When I want to unlock it Word takes the password I enter and sums the digits and sees if they match with the stored result from step 1. So "011" would work and so would "020" and "110".
Of course it would be more complex math. Hope this gives you a bit understanding how it could happen.
>There is no reason to be unemployed in any economy.
Regardless of what you believe in or what you THINK should be the case, there ARE people who are unemployeed. I think the unemployement rate is 6% in the US.
And these 6% are people who will not buy that $100 TV set because they can't afford it. That hurts the economy.
>If your skills are no longer paying the bills, it is time to find new skills.
>Ok, so you are telling me that if you could purchase a light bulb from Taiwan for $1, or an identical American one for $6, you would pick the American one? How about the TV you own? Or the CD player?
I think you missed his point. If I was unemployeed, I would by neither because I can't afford it. I rather spend my money on food rather than a TV (or cable).
>You pay as much as you think an item is worth.
IF you decide to pay for it. If I dont' pay for it, I don't spend. I don't spend that is bad for the economy.
Because its the strongest thing you can say to future companies.
Marketing guy A: "We should have a really restrictive DRM lock that requires the user to mail a sample of their blood." Marketing guy B: "Wait a second. Remember the mess TurboTax got into when they did something like that?"
Alternative answer 1: Marketing guy A: "Yes. But they did it wrong. Look how they are doing now, didn't hurt them in the long run. We can try to introduce it in the sneaky and slow way which owners will accept. Even if its less than sucessful, we can always bounce back like they did."

2 years ago the US bought peace through the world bank. 2.5-3 billion a year buys alot of peace. The world bank is mainly funded by the US.
>India is a non-aligned nation.
Aligned to what?!?!? Soviet-US? East-West? NATO? I never said that they were aligned.
> Remember- India has been an independent nation for a little over 50 years unlike US, which has been independent for more than 200 yrs.
India has been only colonial rule for ~50 years. Before that they were existed before 2500 BC. They are over 2000 years old vs. 200 (US). Hong Kong was under colonial rule, so has Austria and Canada. Those places don't use it as an "excuse" for not innovating.
>This is a perfect example of how people at slashdot distort facts.
You are missing my obvious point, look at the map again. It is geographically WRONG! eg Windsor is NOT near Hudson Bay. They can't even get grade 12 level facts correct that would take all of 10 minutes to figure out the correct location. Not very professional.

>New stuff will grow and grow, old stuff, usually, dies out.
Sometimes the old stuff is more used than the new. There are more VCRs than Tivo's. There are more combustion engine cars than electric.
With Windows 9x this is the case.

>there's practically no new stuff coming out for win98
Before there was nothing for Linux. Didn't stop that OS in its popularity.
And really, if someone hasn't upgraded Windows, its a good chance they are quite satisfied with their hardware and performance right now.
>Organised criminals are the real pirates.
And the un-organized criminals are innocents in the cross-fire?
>Its no secret that they doctor the images for press release
Really?
Why don't NASA state that on their site? Quickly looking, I can't find it.
Where can I get the original, uncolourized photo of the picture in question?
Yes, "User cancelled - No vote entered" should be a result.
And forcing one of 12 results for each new voting session is trivial with any moderen database/programming language.
So how did they have the missing results?
Not the manual but this should help you;

Thats what could have happen.
.. "bah!" and then just walk away.
They go in and start the process (somewhere in the system this fact is recorded.)
See the selections
How the system/attendents handles this situation would be a big factor in what occurs in the database.
When I type "DELETE" I always do a where clause with "1 = 0" condition.
I know that I have to stop a second and think what I am doing if I missed removing it.
>When Edmond Hillary was asked why he climbed Everest, he answered, "Because it's there."
Not everything that we can do, is worthwhile to do.
Its even ironic because in this particular case Hillary now wants people to NOT climb Everest anymore becuase of the damage its doing.
>Just remember that a human scientist walking around on the surface of Mars
So this is for a tourist trip to Mars?
Besides the time value (and we would have alot more on the planet with robots rather then humans) is there any reason for they to be there?
>No problems with pesky airbags not retracting fully
>No worrying about the soil at Sleepy Hollow
These are technical problems.
>the technologies we'd develop
Shouldn't one of the technologies developed be to resolve the above technical problems?
>I know exactly where it's going,
Sorry if I sounded judgemental. I wasn't trying to be.
See if the server can be tax deductable.
The mortagage, car payments and pcdi(?) school are not going to be around forever. Well, the mortagage might feel like it will be.
>I'm in the midwest and can barely afford to live, I don't understand how people live in other areas.
Dont' feel bad, most people can't. And you don't even have childern yet or have a huge wedding/honeymoon.
Are you paying off loans or something?
Because if you aren't and have no childern/dependents then you really need to look where the money is going and figure out what is a "want" and a "need".
>and had been using it as a Warez Joint over the past couple of days.
The same thing happend to me.
I just created a new ftp folder "upload_pr0n_here_please" and deleted the rest.
Wait, considering what I mainly use broadband for, it IS the same question.
>Her job surely isn't a God-given right.
Actually its pretty secure.
Even if I could find an overseas person with the exact same experience who would work for less, she would still keep her job.
She has a previous relationship with those decision-makers counts for alot.

And who do they lend it out to?
People who will make things that I will not buy?

Or its time to reduce or eliminate the bills.

Did anyone post "the cabin is pressurized" yet?
Because if they didn't, could I get some karma points for mentioning it?
>why do you still want to boycott them.
Because its the strongest thing you can say to future companies.

To allow what you bought to be played on anything.
