The 312L (L for light in the toner) is (was?) a cheapo (and very nice) laser printer. It's just like the 312 w/o postscript and a full toner cartridge.
My first reaction was was that Barbarella is a comedy and shouldn't be considered a Sci Fi movie. However, given the time it was made (late 60's), I can definitely see the film makers taking the whole thing more seriously than they should have. Today, it is an obvious comedy, then, they probably thought it was Sci Fi.
In my area, I'd get the police calling up. This was how it went:
Me: Hello?
Police: [in a very loud voice] Mr. X, THIS IS THE POLICE. [Softer now] Don't worry, no one is going to jail. We are taking donations for...
The first time it happened, it flashed through my mind that the police were at the front door and I was getting a courtesy call before they busted it down.
This tactic really pissed me off, and no, I didn't make a donation.
Not true they don't "have" cell phone numbers. For months my cell has been hammered by a number of companies sending me faxes. Interestingly, Verizon is able to save some of them, which I later "print" to my work fax number. Then, I call the numbers on the faxes and get a satifying lb. of flesh from the ranking manager of the day.
It's not that Telemarketers don't have cell phone numbers, it's illegal [junkbusters.com] for them to call your cell phone, according to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
Unfortunately, you are incorrect. In Calif, the state passed a law that watered down the TCPA. I looked into it, because I was going to take action against a group of telemarketers that were sending faxes to my cell phone.

No. At least, a fairly simple spreadsheet our accounting department wrote does not work in OOo 1.0. I filed an

The parent article is proof that some moderations are on crack. At the time of this post, the "if I had mod points" message was modded up to 2, and the message to which they refer is at 1!
Over the years I bought the hype that Matrox was dishing. This is just more of the same. All would be fine, if they delivered on the **software**. It took them more than a year after Win2k was released to release a final driver for the G200-TV card. The beta driver sucked (*lots* of BSOD). Their forums were clogged by people complaining about the lack of Win2k support. Either their driver group is incompetent, or Matrox corporate had other priorities. Either way, the situation sucks.
I think the problem is the graphics card biz is a low margin business, and the first thing they skimp on is software. *Sigh*
Also, they're so cheap their site is completely/.'d right now.
This is nothing more than JC (hmmmm, interesting initials) throwing up a smokescreen. FUD. It is a pathetic play to the judge so they don't have to play fair. Boo hoo, I feel so bad for them. At least, if they lose this case, they'll be able to blame all future security problems in Windows on the judge.
This story originally had "Tivo" in the headline (but not in the body). Later in the day when I checked back, they had fixed it, but there is no mention of it in the body.
I fully support a ChangeLog of a standard format for news stories.
Regarding the MS legal team: I don't think they are underpaid, they are merely working with what they have. They probably have cart blanc to win the case.
My opinion is that the only way MS can win this case is if the judge wants to maintain the status quo.
2 hours after they got the hardware the memo says they had 64-bit Windows XP running. Sounds fishy to me. I'm sure they had simulators, but they did a perfect port with the simulator? I have trouble believing this.
I think the memo is fake.

The travel into the future theory has been proven. 30 years or so (give or take 10) they put an atomic clock onto a jet, after synchronizing it with a another atomic clock on the ground. And yes, when the one from the jet landed again, it was in the future with respect to the reference clock.
The administration (almost, but not quite) elected by the people would like to prevent this type of medicine from being practiced in this country. Thanks, Dubya.
See, we think it's counterproductive to write an HTML engine for one product (IE), then write a completely different one which probably won't be 100% compatible for another product (Windows XP's help files, OE, Outlook, Front Page, hell Visual Studio.NET, etc.)
Dude, it's called a library. In Windows, libraries are implemented as DLLs. If you were a developer, as you say, you'd know this.
The only problem with this method is there is no proof the recipient took delivery. When some "serves" you court documents, they are the proof you were served. With email, who will provide this proof?
Too bad it prevented the naming of the company that did the spamming. I understood the point of going to small claims court was to hurt the spammer. Wouldn't naming them hurt them the most?

Sadly, TiVo seems to have become the whore of the PVR industry. SonicBlue seems to understand that by being pro-consumer they will win market share.
The big investors (media companies) of TiVo are no doubt the reason behind this bogosity.
China has plans to develop on the Moon.
The reason the US is now more interested is they don't want to be second on the Moon.
