Actually, I tell my users (not LUSERS) that, when they recieve an unexpected attachment from anyone, they shoud call that person and thank them for it before they open it.
That way they learn the other person hadn't sent them anything and both parties detect the virus.
I cut my cable, and put up an antenna on my house. Sure, no more SCI-FI channel for me, but I loose a lump in my budget too. And I get a lot more free time because the TV set is not as magnetic as it was with 1x10^33 channels
I think others may have said this, but simply put. The gas engine in one of these is much smaller than that in a normal car. It always runs at it's most effcient speed, cuz all it has to do is generate the most electrical power from a given amount of gas.
Besides - If you plug your all electric car in at night where does that electricity come fromm. Only a small part is renewable (wind, hydro, solar...) the rest is fossil-fuel.
The last place I worked Feng Shuied up the place, painting doors, hanging things in the rafters, a two ton "water feature" at the fron door. Mirrors, Flutes hung in front of windows. The CFO was at the root.
Anyway less than 2 yr after all that was done the company is out of business...
We need NASA WE need active exploration We need to get offa this rock.
Even if we do everything we can to recycle and reduce population and halt global warming (preceeding not a statement that these are -real- problems) someday our sun will grow to a red dwarf (or do some other un-nice thing) and we won't want to be here anymore.
NO NO NO NO !!! Broadcast TV is NOT free. Commercials pay for your viewing pleasure!
(or endless beg breaks in the case of public
tv)
TV stations may or may not pay for their frequency, but in any case they do have to pay for actors, equipment, electricity, scripts....
TV IS NOT FREE. You pay for it when you buy stuff.
Car company wants to sell car, they buy ad from XYZ network. you see add. you want car, you buy car. XYZ network happy to sell add. Car company happy to sell car. you happy watching "free" TV and driving around in your new car.
Wrong!!!
You may have a right to view what is transmitted on the airwaves, but you don't have a right to **make** others transmit. The airwaves are public property, the content belongs to the people who create it.
This same "I want it for free" argument is why the record lables are now trying out copy protected CDs Soon you will have to have a license to see each show, payed monthly and a show code keyed into your TV. And Just to spite you the people who OWN the content will make you buy a different code for each set!... but at least you will get it commercial free.
That when any PCMCIA card is removed the machine in the eyes of Office XP become "Different" and requires another registraition. You only get two before you have to beg.

NO NO NO
User's need to stop STEALING content
Don't copy that MP3, or they will make CD's
un-rippable, spoiling it for all of us.
Fair Use is being taken away from us due to all
the UNFAIR use we make of the content.
Yes and thank you for the FUD about open-source software. Do you work for microsoft?
I haven't moved to open source software only because I don't yet KNOW how to perform some of my 'mission critical' tasks under linux.

That's great, everything repairable.. but who would want to buy a CGA monitor?
And could you just replace the circuit board on a cga monitor, and then have a vga monitor?
How do you know suspected terrorist or double agents inside the FBI are not reading this comment?

Yeah.. and lets also say that other distribution guy is stealing your stuff and then selling it instead of getting his own.
Rip music and use it yourself - ok
Rip music and give it and the CD and all the
copies you have to one other - ok
Rip music and give it to others - theft
Like M$ deleting copies of OTHER OSs untill you buy thier "protected" one?
You want to make /bin/laden executable, hmm
/laden/bin/osama/*
I belive you mean
rm -r
Just because this was done to us does not mean others won't lob missiles our way when they can.
The Missile Shield still needs to be built.
